On tour, Carpenter makes his own “prisons” fun during the song “Juno” with celebrities who attend their shows, handing them a pair of pink fuzzy handcuffs.
In response to the post, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter called the video “evil and disgusting.”
“Never involve me, nor my music, to benefit your inhumane agenda”, published Carpenter no X.
The White House responded to the singer’s criticism of the use of her music:
“Here’s a short, direct message to Sabrina Carpenter: Let’s not apologize for deporting dangerous, illegal killers, rapists and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who defends these sick monsters must be stupid, or are they just slow?” spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement.
White House Social Media Strategy
This is not the first time that , has used artists’ songs without their consent, often adopting one with memes and videos.
In a similar video published by the Department of Homeland Security last month, media for one of Olivia Rodrigo’s songs, “All-American Bitch,” was disabled on Instagram, although still appear in X.
The singer-songwriter harshly criticized the use of her song in a response that has since been removed.
“Never use my songs to promote your racist and hateful propaganda,” she wrote, according to Billboard e a Rolling Stone.
White House social media accounts also published a video of the president with audio from the song “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)” by singer Usher — a reference to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who referred to President Donald Trump as “Daddy” during a summit in the Netherlands.
The publication was later “disabled in response to a report from the copyright holder.”
And the White House TikTok account published a video using Taylor Swift’s song “The Fate of Ophelia” with images of Trump administration officials.
However, Swift — who has been personally attacked by Trump in the past — has remained silent about her use of the song. When the White House used the song last month, the singer’s representative did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé are among the artists who, over the years, have opposed Trump’s use of their music.
