Katy Perry Slams Trump for Using Firework | Canada News

Katy Perry is furious after the Trump administration used her anthem “Firework” in a White House TikTok video about military strikes in Iran — without asking her permission. She called it a blatant misuse of her song, which promotes self-worth and empowerment, to soundtrack destruction. This isn’t the first time artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, and even Franklin the Turtle’s publishers have protested their work being weaponized for political messaging. It echoes past controversies where artists like Bruce Springsteen, Adele, and Rihanna objected to their music being played at Trump rallies. The episode dives into the growing tension between artists’ creative control and how government accounts leverage popular culture — raising urgent questions about intellectual property in the digital age.
