Danica Patrick reveals how much she was paid by Trump campaign for her support as she hits out at Megan Thee Stallion’s eye-watering $5million payday
Danica Patrick has revealed how much she was paid by the Trump campaign for her support, as she lashed out at Megan Thee Stallion’s alleged hefty $5 million payday from Kamala Harris.
The former NASCAR driver, 42, supported the president-elect as she prepared to cast her first-ever ballot.
Ahead of the 2024 election, Danica spoke at a Trump rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, and also traveled with the 45th president in the lead-up to the day — for free.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Megan, 29, was reportedly paid $5 million by the Harris campaign for her July appearance on the campaign trail, but the vice president’s staff has remained silent on the claim.
On Tuesday, Danica reposted a video of Megan’s performance on Actually spent a fair amount of money on wardrobe.

“But to be honest, I can’t twerk like that… ‘It all adds up,’” she added, referencing Megan’s dance-filled performance at Georgia State University’s Convocation Center.
Danica joined X to get a behind-the-scenes look at her time with Trump, right before he was announced as the 47th President of the United States.
She shared a series of photos on Instagram depicting her day traveling with Trump and revealed how she discussed race cars with the Republican.
She described Trump’s energy as “really surreal” and explained that she was determined to participate in this election after receiving backlash for attending her first political event in December.
“Somehow that passion took me all the way to November 4… riding on Trump force 1 for the last night of the campaign… talking race cars with @realdonaldtrump as we flew to the final rally,” Danica said in a post on X.
“I really think that when you’re aligned with yourself and speaking the truth about something you’re passionate about, it energizes you.
“And he is passionate about YOU and this country!” He doesn’t need this job, he wants this job. And no one has tested his will more than he has,” she continued.

Other images posted by Patrick showed her curling her hair on Trump’s plane and hanging out with former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and ex-ESPN reporter Sage Steele.
She wore a red pantsuit as she met the former president, two of his sons – Eric and Donald Trump Jr. – and met daughter Tiffany Trump backstage. She watched the rally with Steele and Megyn Kelly from the audience.
Since supporting Trump, the retired NASCAR and Indy Car driver has taken the stage at several campaign events.
During her speech in Pennsylvania – a state that Trump won – Danica took aim at the celebrities who have come out in support of the Democrats.
‘Now I’m speaking. I’m not getting paid to be here. I don’t have a teleprompter. I’m working on this right now, y’all. I don’t need a phone,” she said, referring to rapper Cardi B who experienced teleprompter problems during her speech for Harris before eventually reading her words over a phone.
Danica said, “But to be honest, I can’t twerk like that…. It all makes sense,” referring to Megan’s performance at Georgia State University’s Convocation Center last summer
Patrick continued, “I’ve never been to a Diddy party. “I’m doing this because I love this country and there is no one more tested than Trump.”
She claimed that putting Trump back in the White House is “the most important decision we will see in our lifetime.”
“We don’t live in a time of Republicans (versus) Democrat, we live in good versus evil.”
During her campaign, Harris sent Megan, Lizzo, Eminem and Oprah Winfrey to try to rally supporters to her side in her failed bid to become president.
Since her defeat by Donald Trump, accusations have emerged on social media that she paid exorbitant seven-figure sums to A-list donors.
While some figures have not been confirmed in Federal Election Commission filings, the vice president’s staff has not responded to claims.
A source close to the situation told DailyMail.com that Megan Thee Stallion was not paid for her appearance in July during the campaign for Harris.
Winfrey also denied the accusation, although her case is complicated by the fact that the Federal Election Commission website has a record of two $500,000 payments to her company Harpo Productions.
“Not true,” Winfrey told TMZ. “I never got paid.”
In a statement to Variety says a spokesperson for Harpo said, “The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a livestream event that took place on September 19 outside Detroit, Michigan.”
“At no time during the campaign did Oprah Winfrey pay any personal compensation, nor did she receive any compensation from Harpo,” the spokesperson added.
During her campaign, Harris sent out Megan, Lizzo, Eminem and Oprah Winfrey to try to rally supporters to her side in her failed bid to become president.
When Harris took over the top of the Democratic ticket for President Joe Biden in July, a number of top artists and actors jumped in to get involved in the campaign, which aimed to put the first woman — and woman of color — in the White House to get.
Megan Thee Stallion was one of them.
She performed at a Harris campaign event in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 30 – just nine days after Biden dropped out.
There is no mention on the FEC website of the Harris campaign paying Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Pete, or Megan Thee Stallion’s production company any compensation.
At the same time, three individuals who work or work for the Harris campaign declined to return DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
Eminem and Lizzo’s people have not returned to DailyMail.com.
