Musicians Criticize White House for Unauthorized Use of Songs in Videos
Musicians, including Noah Kahan and Katy Perry, have publicly criticized the White House for using their songs in official videos without permission. Kahan's track 'American Cars' was used in a video featuring President Trump, leading to his public disapproval. Similarly, Perry expressed outrage after her song 'Firework' was used in a military-themed video. The White House has been using popular music in its digital communications strategy, often without artist consent, leading to backlash from several artists. Despite the criticism, the administration continues to use music in its videos, sometimes replacing tracks after complaints.
