Boric, 35 years old and about to assume the government in Chile from March as the youngest elected president in the history of the South American country, sent her “hugs from the south” to support her in the controversy with Briton Damon Albarn, who questioned her writing her own songs.
“Here in Chile you have a great group of followers who know that you write your own songs from the heart. Don’t take seriously guys who need to swear or lie to get attention.“He wrote in English from his account in a tweet responding to the singer herself.

Albarn is a British musician, leader of the band Blur and co-founder of Gorillaz. “Hugs from the south Taylor,” he added in the tweet that he launched on Monday night and that at noon on Tuesday he already had more than 59 thousand ‘likes’. The president-elect’s press office was not available to respond to inquiries from Reuters.
Boric, with more than 1.4 million followers on Twitter, is a recognized admirer of the singer. “It is the first international controversy of the president”, joked a user of the social network.
