Ariana Grande Rebukes President Trump for Unauthorized Use of Her Music on Social Media
Ariana Grande has publicly criticized President Trump for using her song 'We Can’t Be Friends' in a TikTok video. The video, posted by President Trump, featured footage from a 2024 rally in New York's Madison Square Garden where he discussed the participation of transgender individuals in sports, specifically opposing their involvement in competitions like the Olympic Games. Grande responded directly to the post, demanding that her music not be used and asserting that President Trump's 'truth is false.' This is not the first instance of President Trump using Grande's music without permission; in June, he used her song 'Bye' in a video related to his deportation policies. Following that incident, Grande reacted strongly, leading to the platform removing the audio from President Trump's post. She had previously stated, 'Please do not use my music in relation to this barbarity, inhumanity, and atrocious nonsense.'
