Nikki Haley.

Twitter erupted Tuesday after South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley tweeted that she started her day with "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten, the same song Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton blasts at nearly every public appearance she makes.

"Started my day with 'Fight Song' by Rachel Platten," Haley tweeted. "Wanted to share so that everyone gets an additional boost!"

She also included a link to a YouTube video of the song.

The response was predictable:

Even Clinton's campaign got in on the action:

Haley, who delivered the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address earlier this year, is supporting Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Earlier in the primary cycle, she backed Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. Many have mentioned her as a possible future Republican presidential contender.
