Artists and celebrities become political influencers; see public placements

There is only one week left until the first round of elections. The dispute remains hotter than ever and has gone beyond the political sphere: artists and celebrities have increasingly taken a stand. In such a polarized electoral game, these influencers are capable of mobilizing people and changing the final result.

The polarization in elections this year indicates a possible second round between Squid e Bolsonaro. Even so, influential artists and celebrities do not fail to take a stand and declare their vote in social networks – whether for one, for another, or for neither.

The actor Bruno gagliasso, for example, has almost 22 million followers on Instagram and used his profile to support the candidacy of ex-president Lula. “Rebuilding Brazil will not be easy, but #LulaPresidente has the experience and competence to make this country happy again. Count on us, my President! Here it is thirteen”, wrote Gagliasso in the August 26 publication.

The ex-BBB Juliette and the singer Anitta also used their profiles to announce their vote for Lula, as did the actress Bruna Marquezine.

On the other hand, social networks also accumulate supporters of Jair Bolsonaro - it's the Latino is one of them. The singer has been praising the president and candidate for re-election for over a year.

Lula and Bolsonaro may represent the majority, but they are not the only candidates. Ciro Gomes, for example, has the declared support of Sergio Britto, founder of the group Titãs, and actress Patricia Pillar – they were married between 1999 and 2011. 

Tico Santa Cruz, musician and founder of the group Detonautas, revealed this Thursday (22) that he changed his mind about his vote. “My candidate was Ciro, but Ciro won’t make it to the 2nd round – unfortunately. In this case, between the two options, we need to reduce damage, and today those who cause the greatest damage are those in power”, he wrote in a post published on Instagram.

The musician is also one of the names calling for the dissociation of the Brazilian flag and shirt from politics. On September 7, Brazil's Independence Day, he published: “We need to remember that this flag does not belong to any political group, to any political ideology. It belongs to our entire population, the people, the country, our homeland and will always be so. Our freedom is to live in a democratic country, with respect for everyone who is here. Brazil will always be bigger than anyone who tries to usurp our colors and our sovereignty.”
