So will KT Tunstall finally take her revenge on Trump over use of her hit with her first vote in a US election?

Donald Trump 's use of her song during a presidential rally in 2016 left her feeling she 'needed a spiritual shower'.

But now Scots star KT Tunstall has a chance to get her own back after becoming an American citizen.

Tunstall has lived stateside for more than a decade after cracking America in 2006, but had previously played down any suggestion of naturalisation.

However, in a video posted on social media in recent days, she revealed she is now 'American' and plans to vote in the upcoming US elections .

In response to a question posed by a fan on what public holiday she would create, Tunstall said: 'Well, seeing as I'm now an American, a day off to go and vote please. That would be great.'

Tunstall shot to fame in 2004 after replacing American rapper, Nas, with less than 24 hours' notice on an episode of Later... with Jools Holland.

Performing what would go on to be one of her most popular songs, Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, Tunstall has previously recalled the 'crazy reaction' that made her an overnight celebrity.

Within just two years, she had cracked the charts in the US.

Her song, Suddenly I See, even played behind the entirety of the opening credits scene of the 2006 box office hit, The Devil Wears Prada.

After the passing of her late father in 2012, she and former husband Luke Bullen divorced and she moved to Venice Beach, California.

She has been largely based in the US ever since jetting off for a fresh start.

In previous interviews Tunstall had brushed off suggestions of becoming a US citizen.

When quizzed about it in 2018 she had said: 'I don't think I'd go for that. I think politically it's a weird time and at the moment I'm happy being a British citizen.

'I don't really feel like an American citizen. I always get back to Scotland and I always love it.'

However, it's thought Tunstall became an American as long ago as 2020 and can now vote in the US elections.

And given her previous comments, it's highly unlikely she will vote for Trump.

Her songs have been used in a number of presidential campaigns, with Hilary Clinton using Suddenly I See in an attempt to fire up her crowds in 2008, before her less-favourable view on Trump's use of her music in 2016.

Speaking previously to HuffPost, Tunstall said she wasn't consulted that her music would be used in any rallies, saying: 'It's nice to be part of that process, but I have to say I think it's really diabolical that music is used politically with no permission whatsoever.

'It's alright to use my music at the end of being a great president but don't use it at the beginning when we don't know what you're going to do.'

Tunstall has previously said she feels the world would be 'a safer place if there was a Democrat government in the States' as she gears up for Tuesday's vote.

In 2018, she said she 'would prefer a Democratic government'. The 49-year-old also previously endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 elections.
