Ariana Grande<\/a> has furiously hit back<\/a> after US President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s official Team Trump TikTok<\/a> account used her song for an anti-trans video.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever use my music again,\u201d Grande, 33, said in response to the post. \u201cAlso, your truth is false.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grande has slammed Trump\u2019s use of her music.\u00a0Jordan Strauss\/Invision\/AP<\/p>\n

The video in question used a line from her 2024 song We Can\u2019t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love), \u201cMe and my truth we sit in silence\u201d.<\/p>\n

It then shared an anti-trans message.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and my truth we sit in silence … men can\u2019t have babies and should never compete in women\u2019s sports,\u201d read the text, overlaid on footage of Trump.<\/p>\n

The TikTok post was captioned: \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t be controversial! #trump #arianagrande #maga.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is the second time in months that Grande has hit back at the president\u2019s use of her music.<\/p>\n

In June, she criticised a \u201cheinous\u201d White House TikTok clip that used her 2024 track Bye under footage showing arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense,\u201d she wrote at the time.<\/p>\n

The song was stripped from the clip. At the time of publication, We Can\u2019t Be Friends remained on the most recent video.<\/p>\n

Grande is part of a long list of musicians who have spoken out or taken action after the White House or Trump has used their music.<\/p>\n

Grande hit back with a comment from her TikTok account.\u00a0TikTok<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift<\/a> and Bad Bunny<\/a> recently removed their music from the Trump administration\u2019s posts.<\/p>\n

Noah Kahan<\/a>, Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> and Katy Perry<\/a> are also among those who have also hit back after their music was used.<\/p>\n

Despite the pushback, the White House and Team Trump have continued to antagonise pop stars by using their music against their wishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande has furiously hit back after US President Donald Trump\u2019s official Team Trump TikTok account used her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":862886,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-862885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862885\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
