Ariana Grande tells White House to stop using her music | CNN

Ariana Grande has spoken out against the White House’s use of one of her songs on a video promoting the administration’s immigration policy.

The 14-second-long video posted on TikTok on Tuesday shows officers, including ICE agents, handcuffing and arresting people. According to the BBC, the video had Grande’s 2024 song “Bye” playing over it. The sound has since been removed.

The video is captioned: “Bye-bye 👋 President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”

On Thursday, Grande commented on the TikTok video, writing: “Please do not use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense.” Her remark appears to have been hidden.

According to Reuters, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded to Grande’s comments Thursday by saying: “We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal ‌aliens ⁠who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.”
