Megastars like Sabrina Carpenter loathe Trump - and that kills him

Sabrina Carpenter condemned ICE's use of her song in a deportation video, highlighting a wider celebrity backlash against Trump's administration over its policies and image.

  • On Dec. 1, ICE posted a video montage set to Sabrina Carpenter's song `Juno`, prompting her to condemn it with `This video is evil and disgusting`, which gained over 88 million views on Dec. 2.
  • Donald Trump, President, has repeatedly clashed over music with Aerosmith, REM, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kenny Loggins, and faced halted use from Adele and Usher, while attacking Rihanna, Madonna, Meryl Streep, and Oprah Winfrey.
  • Supporters advised pursuing copyright action, with one urging, `Sue him. 100% This is copyrighted work which is being used in a way that could affect your reputation and sales of your work`, after the White House issued a statement.
  • Public condemnations from artists now pose cultural consequences for Donald Trump, President, as celebrities' refusals serve as his main contact with real-world perception, risking his cultural standing especially with younger female entertainers.
  • Calls and criticism beyond Carpenter's case suggest Trump's long-standing desire for celebrity approval helps explain recurring conflicts with entertainers like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, especially since last year.
