Ariana Grande Tells White House to Stop Using Her Song in ICE Video
Grande’s team is trying to remove the audio as the White House faces backlash for pairing her 2024 song with ICE arrest footage.
- On Thursday, Ariana Grande commented on a White House TikTok post featuring federal agents arresting people, demanding the administration "not ever use" her 2024 song "Bye" for "barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense."
- Grande has frequently criticized President Donald Trump and his administration, having previously voiced opposition to immigration raids and anti-transgender legislation in public statements and social media posts.
- The video, shared earlier this week, promotes the $70 billion Secure America Act signed on Wednesday, June 10, and shows ICE agents arresting and handcuffing individuals while Grande's song plays.
- In a statement shared with Variety, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson wrote, "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."
- Exploring options to remove the audio, Grande joins artists including Beyonce, Kesha, and Jack White who have protested the Trump administration's use of their music in social media posts.
