“A few years ago, I got to briefly meet @gloriagaynor at a concert in Miami. She gifted me a keychain that belted out ‘I Will Survive’ when you pressed it. Let’s just say, during first Trump term, I pressed it til it ran out of batteries,” Navarro wrote.
Navarro stated that, while she doesn’t disagree with Gaynor being honored by the Kennedy Center, she hoped the singer would reconsider accepting the award from Trump, who is set to host the ceremony himself on Dec. 7.
“I wish she wouldn’t accept an award from the hands of a man who has attacked the rights and history of women, people of color and LGBTQ,” Navarro wrote. “The gay community in particular, helped turn her signature song into an anthem.”
She concluded with one last jab at President Trump. “Trump is a stain on the prestige and significance of the KCH. Don’t do it, Gloria!” she said.
Gaynor has not publicly addressed Navarro’s comments, though she has shared congratulatory messages from others to her Instagram Story after the news was announced.
Gaynor will be honored at the Kennedy Center alongside actors Sylvester Stallone and Michael Crawford, country singer George Strait and KISS.
President Trump said he was “very involved” in selecting the honorees and outrightly stated that he “turned down plenty” of candidates because of their politics.
“They were too woke. I had a couple of wokesters,” he said, per Time.
Trump took over as chairman of the Kennedy Center in 2025 after overhauling the board of trustees with his own loyalists. He vowed to steer the organization’s programming in a different direction, promising it was “not going to be woke” under his control. Several artists have since canceled appearances at the Kennedy Center in protest.
The 48th Kennedy Center Honors will take place in Washington, D.C., Dec. 7. The ceremony will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
