Sabrina Carpenter is speaking out after one of her songs was used in a video depicting ICE raids that was posted by the White House.
The clip, posted on the White House’s X account, is soundtracked to Sabrina’s song “Juno.” The singer responded to the video, saying she did not authorize use of her song.
“[T]his video is evil and disgusting,” she wrote. “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded in a statement: “Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”
This isn’t the first time Donald Trump’s White House has used a pop song without permission from the artist. Kenny Loggins spoke out in October about the “unauthorized” use of his song “Danger Zone” in an AI- generated video shared by Trump on Truth Social.
And over the summer, British singer Jess Glynne decried the White House’s use of the Jet2holidays meme — which features her song “Hold My Hand” — to promote ICE raids.
