Zara Larsson Slams Trump White House for Using ‘Midnight Sun’ in ICE Video: ‘So Dehumanizing’
"You guys are such fucking losers, like it’s crazy," Swedish singer says
Zara Larsson has expressed her discontent with the White House's use of her song "Midnight Sun" in a TikTok video depicting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arresting and deporting individuals. The video, posted on the White House's TikTok account, included the caption "Never ending deportations," which appears to be inspired by the lyrics "never ending midnight sun" from Larsson's song.
Larsson took to TikTok herself to express her disappointment, stating that seeing her music used in the clip was upsetting and dehumanizing. She emphasized that the people in the video are real individuals who are merely seeking a better future for themselves and their families. Larsson also criticized the tendency to turn serious subjects into memes, arguing that the video creates division rather than connection.
This is not the first time Larsson has objected to the White House using her music in its social media content; she previously criticized the White House for posting a video of President Donald Trump dancing to her song "Lush Life" while supporting ICE and law enforcement.
