In a 6\u20133 decision, the court said these laws do not violate Title IX or the Constitution\u2019s Equal Protection Clause.<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"Ariana Grande\u2019s comment has been hidden from the post, while the audio on the uploaded TikTok video is now muted.

Photo \/ Tiktok<\/p>\n<p class=\"bcxzNmxesLZ\" style=\"display:none\">The June ruling followed other moves from the Trump administration on transgender policy. Earlier in May, the court also allowed the administration to move ahead with its \u201cPrioritising Military Excellence and Readiness\u201d order, which will block transgender people from serving in the US military.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bcxzNmxesLZ\" style=\"display:none\">Ariana\u2019s warning comes shortly after Taylor Swift blocked Trump from using her music on TikTok. He had used several of her songs to soundtrack his social posts, including a clip of him and his wife Lady Melania Trump watching fireworks set to August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bcxzNmxesLZ\" style=\"display:none\">The audio has since been removed and replaced with the message: \u201cThis sound isn\u2019t available\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bcxzNmxesLZ\" style=\"display:none\">Trump appeared to choose Taylor\u2019s song deliberately, writing: \u201cI\u2019m sure @Taylor Swift is going to be super excited we used her song!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"bcxzNmxesLZ\" style=\"display:none\">He also commented on the Team Trump clip: \u201cMood because it\u2019s August and Donald Trump is your president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"bcxzNmxesLZ\" style=\"display:none\">Other Swift tracks removed from his TikTok posts include The Fate of Ophelia and Father Figure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bcxzNmxesLZ\" style=\"display:none\">Trump famously declared \u201cI HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!\u201d on his Truth Social account after the pop star announced she would be voting for Kamala Harris in the past presidential election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a since\u2011deleted comment, Ariana replied: \u201cNever use my music again.
