Hillary Clinton isn’t exactly short on celebrity supporters.
We already know the likes of Kim Kardashian, Lena Dunham, Beyonce, and support the first female Democratic nominee for president.
But now, a new crowd of A-listers have banded together to create a music video in Hillary’s honour — and regardless of whether you’re into politics, it’s worth a watch for its star factor alone.
The video shows singers, actors and public figures performing an a capella rendition of Rachel Platten’s Fight Song.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given its all-star cast, it’s predictably going mega, ultra, over-the-top viral (The official YouTube version alone already has almost 1.5 million views.)
Post continues after video:
The video was inspired by the movie Pitch Perfect and co-produced by Pitch Perfect‘s director, Elizabeth Banks.
It was played on the Democratic Convention’s second night, when Hillary accepted her party’s official nomination (read more about that, and her historic speech, here.)
Here’s the full list of cast members, courtesy of the DNC:
Aisha Tyler, Alan Cumming, America Ferrera, Ben Platt, Billy Porter,Chrissie Fit, Connie Britton, Elizabeth Banks, Ellen Greene, Esther Dean, Eva Longoria, Garrett Clayton, Hana Mae Lee, Ian Somerholder, Idina Menzel, Jaime King, Jane Fonda, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, John Michael Higgens, Josh Lucas, Julie Bowen, Kathy Najimy, Kelly Jackle, Kristin Chenoweth, Mandy Moore, Mary McCormack, Mary-Louise Parker, Mike Thompkins, Nikki Read, Rachel Platten, Renee Fleming, Rob Reiner, Shelley Regner, Sia and TR Knight.

Team America sequel?
The so-called celebrities backing Clinton is a sure fire way to turn ordinary people in the opposite direction.
What do these pampered prima donnas and dons know of real life?
So people should support a candidate who is a billionaire instead? A man who is known to treat his workers poorly? Who lives in a New York penthouse that looks like it was decorated by Saddam Hussein's interior designer? Yeah, right. He knows all about the 'real life'!
I think you missed the point. The point was that the celebrities are not helping despite their best intentions. Your average voter is sick of being told what to do (perception wise) and more people telling them who to vote for is not what they want - especially by people who are living very comfortably thank you very much.
The idea that these people know zero about real life is off. I know many of the actors were at one point starving artists. Actors work hard to get get a break they aren't born rich and famous. I understand where you're coming from but I think a large number of these people had to scrape by.
All political parties campaign and try to tell people who to vote for. It's hardly a phenomenen that is unique to Hilary...
