Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan is pushing back against President Donald Trump’s use of his song.
The 29-year-old singer-songwriter took to Instagram to comment on the White House and Trump’s use of his song “American Cars” on their social media posts about an event in Michigan for autoworkers. Kahan swiftly shut down any doubt about any association.
“Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration,” Kahan commented on the post. The Vermont native’s comment has already gathered thousands of likes.
Kahan joins a long list of other artists who have called out Trump for using their music without permission, including Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Kesha, Tom Petty and many others.
Kahan is in the midst of a record-breaking year. The 29-year-old earned his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last month. One of the most hotly anticipated albums of 2026, The Great Divide had the third biggest week for an album this year when it was released.
