Ariana Grande Demands Trump Stop Using Her Music: Artists' Rights in the Spotlight
Donald Trump's team once again used Ariana Grande's music in a social media video, prompting the singer to demand they stop. The video, posted on TikTok, featured Trump's rally messages set to Grande's song "we can't be friends." Grande responded in the comments, telling Trump to never use her music again and calling his "truth" false. Sources say her label is working to remove the song from the post.
This is not the first time Trump has faced backlash from musicians for using their music in his posts. Ariana Grande previously criticized the White House for using her music in a montage of ICE arrests, condemning Trump's immigration policies as barbaric and inhumane. Other artists like Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Rihanna, and Sabrina Carpenter have also spoken out against the administration for using their music in propaganda posts.
It is clear that Ariana Grande is not afraid to speak out against the unauthorized use of her music by the Trump administration. The singer's strong stance against the misuse of her work highlights the importance of artists' rights and the need for respect and permission when using their music in any context.
