Ariana Grande issues furious five-word response to Trump using her music again

Ariana Grande has given a rather fierce reply after President Donald Trump’s official Team Trump TikTok account used her music in a new video.

The video, which was posted Thursday and has since gained more than 357,000 views, soundtracked Grande’s 2024 single We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) over footage of Trump at his October 27, 2024 rally at NYC’s Madison Square Garden.

Playing on Grande’s lyrics, Team Trump addressed the ongoing debate around transgender people in the United States, including the administration’s opposition to transgender women competing in women’s sports.

“Me and my truth we sit in silence… men can’t have babies and should never compete in women’s sports,” the video’s onscreen text read. In the caption, Team Trump added, “’This shouldn’t be controversial #trump #arianagrande #maga.”

Grande, eventually saw the TikTok and took to the comment section to condemn the use of her music in Trump-related videos.

“Never use my music again,” she ordered, before then addressing the TikTok’s anti-trans messaging. “Also, your truth is false.”

Source linked to the Grammy-winning singer told the Daily Mail that her label Republic Records is working to remove the song from the Team Trump post.

Meanwhile, sources close to Trump noted that Thursday’s video featuring Grande’s music was not posted by the White House nor by the president himself.

This comes just more than two months after Grande was critical of the White House after it used her 2024 track Bye in the background of a TikTok clip showcasing arrests made by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense,” Ariana Grande said in a comment on the platform in June, further clarifying her thoughts on the agency in writing, “Fck ice.”
