Ariana Grande Slams Team Trump After It Uses ‘We Can’t Be Friends’ in TikTok Video: ‘Your Truth is False’
The Grammy winner previously criticized the administration after it used her song "Bye" in an ICE TikTok video
Ariana Grande has spoken out against the Trump administration for using her song "We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)" in a social media post. The Team Trump TikTok account posted a video on Thursday with the song as its soundtrack, featuring Trump walking towards a podium and promoting a statement about women's sports.
The post included lyrics from Grande's song and a caption that read "Men can't have babies and should never compete in women's sports." Grande responded to the post, stating "Never use my music again. Also, your truth is false." This is not the first time Grande has condemned the Trump administration for using her music; in June, she spoke out against ICE for using her song "Bye" in a post.
Grande's fans also alerted her to the TikTok post, with one writing "Does Ariana know he's using her song AGAIN." The incident has sparked further controversy surrounding the use of celebrities' music in political campaigns.
