EXCLUSIVE — Little-known Christian country singer Natasha Owens burst onto the scene earlier this week with news that her single “Trump Won and You Know It” surpassed the likes of Taylor Swift in the Billboard charts.
In an exclusive interview, Owens told the Washington Examiner she wants her music to be a light amid the darkness and give people courage.
HOTTER THAN TAYLOR SWIFT: ‘TRUMP WON, AND YOU KNOW IT’
Similar songs claiming former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election have been banned from platforms like YouTube and TikTok, labeled misinformation. Owens’s song is on YouTube, where it’s accrued more than 820,000 views in three weeks.
Owens believes censorship in social media and Big Tech is a real problem in America today.
“It’s hard for conservative voices to get around that big tech censorship,” Owens said. “We feel like we’re not free. We live in a country where freedom is trying to be taken away from us. It’s the most expensive thing we own. It should be the last thing we give up.”
The music video uses real news clips highlighting alleged irregularities during the election, including accusations of ballot harvesting, problems with voting machines, and dead people voting.
Trump has repeatedly claimed the election was stolen, even though every lawsuit his legal team has brought on the matter has been dismissed. His campaign has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on investigating voting irregularities to no avail. He is also facing a grand jury investigation in Georgia over his attempts to influence the results in the Peach State.

While songs supporting Trump as president have topped the charts in the past couple of years, Republicans who ran in November’s midterm elections peddling Trump’s election conspiracy lost, and an anticipated red wave failed to materialize.
The new video from Owens hit No. 1 on iTunes when it debuted. It is now at No. 5 and ahead of Taylor Swift’s “All of the Girls You Loved Before” and just behind “Justice for All,” featuring Trump and the J6 Prison Choir.
“I knew people would like it. I knew it would be catchy,” Owens said. “But I didn’t think it would spiral out of control like it has been. It has been the funnest week to see this song go to the top of the charts.”

Owens believes the mainstream success of other country singers, as well as Christian artists, will pave the way for more artists like her.
“I think you’re going to see more of a red wave hitting the pop charts these days,” said Owens. “I am a contemporary Christian artist. I am a survivor of depression, and I have been fighting for people’s freedom. I just want people to feel like they can stand up no matter what the cause. If you’re standing on the right foundation and you’re trying to send the right message, nothing can stop you.”
