Donald Trump is the polar opposite of Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, known just as Sia. Trump soaks up fame. Sia shuns it.
So it went on “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend, when the GOP presidential candidate hosted the show and the Australian singer appeared with a wig obscuring her face.
Sia wasn’t protesting Trump being the host. It was the latest manifestation of her pushback against celebrity status.
As she wrote in Billboard magazine, in a piece titled “My Anti-Fame Manifesto,” Sia said: “If anyone besides famous people knew what it was like to be a famous person, they would never want to be famous.
“Imagine the stereotypical highly opinionated, completely uninformed mother-in-law character and apply it to every teenager with a computer in the entire world. Then add in all bored people, as well as people whose job it is to report on celebrities. Then, picture that creature, that force, criticizing you for an hour straight once a day, every day, day after day.”
But after her “SNL” appearances Saturday, Larry David’s 21-year-old daughter, Cazzie, posted an Instagram photo of Sia’s face along with herself with hair covering her face.
