She may been enjoying the moment, having just given birth to her second baby, but that won’t stop Leighton Meester from looking towards the future.
On Friday, the Gossip Girl actress took to Instagram to share her views about the upcoming November election in a very bold way.
Leighton, 34, who originally hails from Texas, posted a video of herself singing Edelweiss from The Sound of Music that was ripe with political overtones.
Posting a very poignant caption, she drew a scathing comparison between president Donald Trump and the Fascist regime that threatened the Austrian family in the movie, as she urged her 6.1M followers to vote.
‘In The Sound of Music, Captain von Trapp sings ‘Edelweiss’ to his beloved country as it’s being taken over by fascism’ she wrote providing a bit of back story.
She continued, ‘It’s my solemn duty and honor to join you all in voting this hateful, would-be dictator and all his enablers out of office on November 3rd.’
The very vocal starlette put her angelic pipes on display as she crooned into her microphone, using music as her outlet.
