Olivia Rodrigo Slams Donald Trump Administration for ‘Picking Fights With Pop Stars’
She also recalled the "awful" feeling of seeing the DHS use her song in a "grotesque" ICE video.
Olivia Rodrigo has criticized the Donald Trump administration for engaging in "quibbling" with popular musicians, describing it as a "distraction." Speaking to NPR, the singer expressed her disdain for the White House and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pairing her song "All-American Bitch" with a video celebrating immigration enforcement raids in November.
Rodrigo commented on the post, stating, "don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda." Now, she has more insights about the incident, acknowledging that it was "awful" to witness a song she wrote about being trapped in a misogynistic box being used in such "grotesque, cruel scenes." She further emphasized that the Trump administration employs the tactic of "picking fights with pop stars" to divert attention from their own "awful, awful things."
