Grammy-winning singer Jess Glynne slammed Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday after the White House featured her music in a widely panned post that praises the president’s aggressive immigration policies.
On her Instagram story, Glynne — whose 2015 song “Hold My Hand” has seen a resurgence of listeners after its use in an ad for the British airline Jet2 went viral in a TikTok meme this year — weighed in on the post, which features several men in chains seemingly being led toward a flight out of the United States accompanied by text that says, “When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation.”
That Jet2 meme — which features voice actor Zoe Lister declaring that “nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” as Glynne’s song plays in the background — has been jokingly shared by social media users to ironically highlight their unpleasant and chaotic travel experiences.
“This post honestly makes me sick,” Glynne wrote alongside a screenshot of the White House’s post of the meme.
“My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity — never about division or hate.”
