Christian music artist Natasha Owens, of Frisco, never intended to get into the political arena, but after being frustrated with the amount of fraud seen in the November 2020 election, she decided that she would attack the cancel culture community head on without fear and with full faith. Her most recent song, “Trump Won” has supplanted Apple’s iTunes chart as the #1 song—replacing ‘Justice for All’ a combination of January 6 prisoners and President Donald J. Trump reciting the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance.
After releasing the album entitled American Patriot and listening to her audience, she kept hearing from her over and over from her fans that ‘Trump won. Everybody knows that Trump won.’ Owens’ husband inspired her to write a song about Trump winning the election.
“It (Trump won and you know it) became a saying in our house. I started putting a jingle to it and we would make up all kinds of words and verses that were so funny—we were just kidding around with it,” said Owens. “It started to wear on me. I was worried about being cancelled out in Contemporary Christian because Nashville is too woke for their audience. The progressiveness has made its way through the church.”
Owens feared ostracizing herself from her Contemporary Christian market but she said she came to the realization that standing up for truth and what is right was more important than trying to please the Nashville group that she didn’t align with anyway.
“It says in the Bible what’s right is wrong and what’s wrong is right in the end times and that’s what we’re living in,” said Owens. “Stuff that we know is not true is being blasted out there and everybody is being censored for misinformation and deceiving people when we know in our hearts that it’s true. We see it.”
When the movie 2000 Mules was released, Owens said it showed clear proof of cheating and it was the damning evidence.
“This is it, right here,” said Owens of 2000 Mules. “This is how they stole the election.”
Owens said she got to the point where after Trump announced his campaign, she felt she needed to blast words that everyone is afraid to say—Trump won.
“I know that advisors to President Trump are probably telling him that he needs to steer away from this topic and to just move on,” said Owens. “But when you talk to people out there—average Americans, they want it acknowledged, they want it talked about. They’ve been censored for so long and they want something done about it. It’s not going away. We need to hit it head on instead of running from it.”
The censoring is real as the YouTube video of Trump Won was labeled as false information by independent fact-checkers. A scene in the video shows election officials improperly scanning the same ballots multiple times, however, Facebook’s independent fact-checkers said it does NOT which triggered the violation.
The video was released prior to the song being available for purchase. Owens says it only takes two to three days to get a song live on Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon music, and other digital platforms.
“For some reason, they dragged their feet and it was a week and a half late. So we jumped the video out there and it’s been gathering steam and not one thing has been done on Facebook until yesterday (Thursday),” said Owens. “When it hit number one and it gets all this press and suddenly it’s being censored.”
Trump Won was played several times during Thursday’s Steve Bannon’s War Room show and Owens was featured on Mike Lindell’s FrankSpeech.com. On Friday, President Trump “re-truthed” her video on TruthSocial which received over 20,200 likes and nearly 6,000 “re-truths” in 21 hours.
As of Saturday, YouTube still had the video posted, and it has not been censored by Twitter, Rumble, or Truth Social.
“It’s just Facebook,” said Owens. “How do you get around that? They censored a President for how long? Years? It’s just something you can’t fight. But at least the others are playing nice so far.”
She and her husband live in Frisco, but she was originally from Memphis, Tennessee and moved to Colleyville, Texas at the age of 14. She graduated from Grapevine High School in 1994 and met her husband, of Arlington. They’ve lived in Plano and Prosper and moved to Frisco two years ago.
Owens’ music career is a story in itself. She comes from a musical family where her parents sang and recorded. But she never wanted to be in the spotlight because she said she suffered from severe anxiety.
“I wanted to sing on the praise team and in the choir but never step forward to do a solo or anything like that,” said Owens.
Her father passed away in 2010 in Colleyville in a tragic accident while cleaning his gun.
“He was gone so quickly and I was such a daddy’s girl and the oldest of the family so I held everybody together,” said Owens who soon found herself in a deep depression at the one-year mark of his death.
She began to question why and speak negatively. She received a call from her pastor who asked her to be the music minister. She informed him that she struggles with severe anxiety and was dealing with severe depression and couldn’t get out of bed every day.
“He kept calling me and kept calling me and I kept getting worse and worse. The enemy had already convinced me that the world would be a better place without me. He called me on a day that I can honestly say that if God had not crossed my path when he did with a lifejacket, I wouldn’t be alive today,” said Owens. “So I said yes to a position I was petrified to take and mentally wasn’t prepared to take. But I was tired of feeling the way I was feeling and I said yes and that was the beginning of many years of recovery.”
While at the church, they brought in a man to teach them new songs and he eventually asked Owens whether she had ever thought of putting out an album. She said no but was open to the idea as long as it would be music that would help people get through a trial. With that, her first CD was created.
“Somebody I knew sent my music to someone else and this big manager out of New York called me and said, ‘I feel something in your music. I’ve never helped a Christian artist but I’ve always done rock and pop. But I’m new to Christ and I feel like maybe I can help you.’” Owens explained.
Six weeks later, she received a call from him on Father’s Day and said his father was dying of cancer and he had thought of Owens when one of her songs began playing on his phone.
“He said, ‘I feel like God wants me to help you.’ And that was the beginning of the music career,” said Owens, who opened for Michael W. Smith a few weeks later in front of 20,000 people.
She originally turned down the offer because she didn’t have a band and had never sang the songs live and was about to have a panic attack.
“He said it’s October 3rd—think about it and let me know, The wind got completely knocked out of me and I said I’ll do it. He said, ‘what changed your mind?’ I said, ‘That’s my dad’s birthday.”
Her album entitled, I Made it Through was exactly what she wanted which helps people get through trials. And each album thereafter has been another chapter in her recovery.
“I think God had to really show up and direct me because he knew I was paralyzed by fear and that I wouldn’t step out unless I knew that this is what God wants me to do,” said Owens.
Eventually, she became involved in President Trump’s Faith Initiative Team where she saw first-hand what he was doing that the media wasn’t showing. During COVID, her husband inspired her to create an album about hope and the importance of freedom. That’s when she produced her fifth album American Patriot which eventually landed her at Mar-a-Lago to perform.
Trump’s Faith Initiative team consisted of pastors, Christian artists and others who had a platform that could compete with the media which wasn’t sharing truthful information. In November 2021, she was invited to the first event of the America First Policy Institute at Mar-a-Lago.
“I told myself this is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we’ve got to drop everything and attend this gala,” said Owens. “Little did I know that was the first one of 14 that we did within a year. We just kept getting invited back—mostly to sing.”
While performing a concert, President Trump approached her and talked to her while she was singing.
“I sang a warrior song and dedicated it to him because I feel God sent him at the perfect time to help America,” said Owens, who said Trump teared up during one of her songs. “It really shows you his heart. He jus loves Americans and he loves the babies.”
Her sophomore album, We Will Rise, was named “Inspirational Album of the Year” at the 2018 We Love Christian Music Awards, which led to a deal with Nashville-based Radiate Music and extensive media coverage including appearances on Fox News, HLN, Newsmax and more. Owens has been making regular appearances on the conservative circuit in recent months with CPAC 2022 in Orlando, performing the national anthem for the largest and most influential annual gathering of conservatives in the world. She also performed for nearly 50,000 at this year’s Hero’s Honor Festival alongside Toby Keith and Craig Morgan.
The song that has caught on fire across the country will most likely send her on stage for Trump rallies in the future. And now she has no fear.
