The Pop singer has received a lot of speculation from fans who are getting “mixed messages” from her seemingly liberal music to the fact that she makes music with and is engaged to Country superstar Blake Shelton, who many believe leans conservative.
"I can see how people would be curious,” Gwen told Paper Magazine when asked about her political stance. “But I think it's pretty obvious who I am.”
Stefani has no plans to share details surrounding her political beliefs or who she voted for in the last election.
"The whole point of voting, is you have this personal space to feel how you feel," she expressed. "I use my platform to share my life story and to engage with people and to exchange whatever gift I was giving. I'm not a political science major. I am not that person. Everyone knows that. So why would I even talk about it?"
One thing Gwen will say about her beliefs in she believes in the power of unity. The 51-year-old singer says she’s always been inspired by Ska music, which was a movement in the 1970s to bring people together.
"I started my band because we were really influenced by Ska," she shared. “The first song I ever wrote was a song called ‘Different People,’ which was on the Obama playlist, you know, a song about everyone being different and being the same and loving each other. The very first song I wrote."
More than anything, Gwen focuses on leaving a “trail of greatness” behind and believes actions speak louder than words… or a post on social media.
"I don't need to go on Instagram and say 'girl power.,'” she said. “I just need to live and be a good person and leave a trail of greatness behind me. Stop talking about it and stop trying to bully everybody about it. Just do it. And that's how I feel like I've lived my life."
