It does not bother me so long as they are not trying to use their position
as a celebrity to influence others.  For example, if this was their last
concert because "we are mad about Trump and are leaving the USA!" that
would influence my ability to enjoy their music.  Just having a different
belief and expressing it, by itself, doesn't bother me.

If I could only be entertained by people who thought and believed
everything that I do, I doubt there would be many entertainers left for me
to enjoy.  I would expect such an entertainer to be as untalented as
myself, for one.  :D
