\n\tWASHINGTON American pop star Ariana Grande told President Donald Trump\u2019s administration on \u200bThursday to stop using her music to promote its policies.
The comment came after the White House shared a video on TikTok earlier this week highlighting its immigration policy. The video, which depicts federal agents arresting and handcuffing people, features the Grammy Award-winning singer\u2019s 2024 song \u201cBye.\u201d
\u201cPlease \u200cdo not \u200cever use my music \u200bin \u200crelation \u2060to \u200bthis barbaric, inhumane, \u2060heinous nonsense,\u201d Grande wrote in a comment posted on the White House video on TikTok on Thursday. A source close to the singer said her team is looking into how to remove the music from the video \u2060as soon as possible. Responding to Grande, \u200cWhite House spokesperson \u200cAbigail Jackson said: \u201cWe\u2019ll say this one \u200blast time: what\u2019s \u200cactually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal \u200cillegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.\u201d
Grande, a singer and Academy Award-nominated actress, was critical of the Trump administration last year after \u200csharing a post on Instagram asking people who voted for Trump if \u2060their lives \u2060had gotten better since he returned to office.
Trump, now in his second non-consecutive term, has an active social media presence. Members of his communications team often post short videos that feature popular songs to illustrate the president\u2019s efforts to deliver on his campaign promises. Some of the videos have featured hit songs while depicting images showing Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown, \u200bUS military operations against \u200bIran and the arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
