Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has slammed the Trump administration for using her song Juno in a video that shows people being detained by ICE.<\/p>\n

Replying to a clip that was posted on X on December 1, Sabrina<\/a>, 26, wrote, “this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”<\/p>\n

The video in question was posted on The White House’s official X page and shows various people being handcuffed and chased down the street while the same part of Sabrina’s December 2024 song, featuring the lyrics, “Have you ever tried this one?” plays over and over again.<\/p>\n

The White House’s post was captioned, “Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,” alongside the waving and red heart-eye emoji.<\/p>\n

Sabrina replied directly to it on December 2, and her fans were quick to back her as one person wrote, “copyright strike it queen.”<\/p>\n

Another said, “queenie !!!!!!! cease and desist they ass boo,” and a third urged, “SUE the Living F out of them!! LOL.”<\/p>\n

A fourth fan replied, “Thank you for standing up for human rights and democracy Sabrina. We love you and support you!”<\/p>\n

Another person suggested, “I think you can c&d them for using your song Sab!” referring to a cease and desist, and someone else said, “hit em with the copyright violation queen!”<\/p>\n

According to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, when The White House was contacted for comment, an official representative responded, “Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.”<\/p>\n

Referencing lyrics from Sabrina’s song Manchild, the representative added, “Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”<\/p>\n

It comes just weeks after Sabrina’s pal Taylor Swift<\/a> was urged to take the Trump administration to court after her song, The Fate of Ophelia, was used by The White House in a TikTok video.<\/p>\n

The official White House account posted a light-hearted patriotic parody using Taylor’s chart-topping single – but changed it to “the fate of America” in the captions.<\/p>\n

Last year, Trump was banned from using a music legend’s hit song during his campaign events.<\/p>\n

Trump and his campaign were ordered to cease using the song “Hold On, I’m Coming” by a federal judge in Atlanta while the co-writer’s family pursues a lawsuit against the former US president<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The estate of Isaac Hayes Jr. lodged a lawsuit last month claiming that Trump, his campaign, and several of his allies had violated its copyright and should pay damages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following a hearing on the estate’s request for an emergency preliminary injunction, US District Judge Thomas Thrash ruled that Trump must stop using the song.<\/p>\n

However, he rejected a request to compel the campaign to remove any existing videos featuring the song. Isaac Hayes Jr. , who died in 2008, and David Porter co-wrote “Hold On, I’m Coming,” a 1966 hit for soul duo Sam and Dave.<\/p>\n

Ronald Coleman, a lawyer for Trump and his campaign, told reporters after the hearing that the campaign had already agreed not to use the song going forward.<\/p>\n

“The campaign has no interest in annoying or hurting anyone, and if the Hayes family feels that it hurts or annoys them, that’s fine, we’re not going to force the issue,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter was not impressed when she realized that The White House had used her song…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,17368],"class_list":{"0":"post-321619","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-sabrina-carpenter"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
