Katy Perry has slammed Donald Trump’s White House for using her song “Firework” in a TikTok video about military strikes.

In a Saturday morning post on X, Perry railed against the unauthorized use of her song, writing: “I am deeply appalled and angry to see ‘Firework’ used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.

“I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments,” Perry continued. “To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.

“My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.”

The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.

Perry is not the only star who has lashed out at the White House for the unauthorized use of music.

Just last month, Ariana Grande called out the White House for using her song “Bye” in a social media post promoting U.S. immigration arrests, describing the video as “barbaric.”

The video used Grande’s song “Bye” as background audio and was captioned: “Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”

Grande responded in the post’s comment section. “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. F* ICE,” she wrote, according to Variety.

Her comment was no longer visible on the post within a matter of hours. Representatives for Grande confirmed to Variety that she had indeed posted the comment, but “for some reason it’s not publicly visible.”
