Katy Perry is furious after the White House used her uplifting anthem “Firework” in a TikTok video featuring military strikes — a move she calls deeply offensive, saying the song was meant for hope, not warfare. She joins a growing list of artists, including Celine Dion and Sinead OConnor, who’ve publicly protested unauthorized political use of their music. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande responded to her song “Bye” being used in a White House ICE promo by launching a foundation to support immigrants. Perry’s own history with political events — like performing “Firework” at Biden’s 2021 inauguration — underscores the stark contrast between her message and how her music is now being weaponized. The White House has yet to respond, sparking fresh debate over artists’ rights and the ethics of political music appropriation.
