Ariana Grande Demands Trump Remove 2024 Song From Anti-Trans TikTok

3 articles · Updated · Deadline · Aug 20

Grande publicly told Donald Trump to “never use my music again” after his campaign used her 2024 single “We Can’t Be Friends” in a TikTok promoting anti-trans messaging.
Her label is now working to get the song removed from the clip, which paired Trump rally footage with lyrics from the track and captions including “Men can’t have babies and should never compete in sports.”
The clash follows Grande’s June objection to the White House using her song “Bye” in a pro-ICE video, showing a second recent dispute over her music’s political use.
Grande joins a growing list of artists — including Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA and Neil Young — who have pushed back against unauthorized Trump-related use of their songs on social media.
