Hathaway took the stage with a powerful message that resonated beyond the performance. \u201cWe got a big choice to make, America, you have to make a choice, you do have to vote,\u201d she told the audience. \u201cMaybe this election, maybe you don\u2019t have a candidate that you love, but you have to have an issue that you, maybe the somebody you love is you. You gotta vote for yourself, America.\u201d These words echo the actress\u2019s long-standing commitment to advocacy, encouraging her audience to engage in the political process\u2014even if they feel disconnected from the options presented.<\/p>\n
