Ariana Grande Objects to White House Using Her Music in Immigration Video
Pop sensation Ariana Grande has expressed her disapproval of the White House using her music in a social media video promoting its immigration policies. The video, shared on TikTok, features border agents detaining individuals with Grande's song "Bye" playing in the background. Grande took to the comments section to request that her music not be associated with what she described as "barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense."
In response to Grande's comment, a White House spokesperson defended the video, stating that the real issue lies with criminal illegal aliens who have harmed innocent American citizens. The video showcases officers detaining individuals, placing them in handcuffs, and transporting them to detention centers.
Grande's stance echoes that of other artists who have objected to their music being used by the Trump administration to promote its policies. Sabrina Carpenter, ABBA, Céline Dion, and Beyoncé are among those who have made similar requests in the past, urging the White House not to use their music for political purposes.
The incident involving Ariana Grande highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the use of music in political messaging. Artists continue to assert their rights and voice their opposition to having their work associated with policies or actions they do not support.
