After the White House took it upon themselves to use her song ‘Bye’ in a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) TikTok video, Ariana Grande responded directly to the governmental post with “Please do not ever use ?my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. Fck ice.”
In an interview with Us Weekly, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said “We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.”
Featuring ICE agents making arrests, along with a caption celebrating the passage of the Secure America Act, which President Donald Trump signed on Wednesday, funding ICE through to September 2029, the White House captioned the clip of real footage with “Goodbye, criminal illegals! The Trump admin will keep fighting to keep America safe,” White House staff wrote in the caption.
Previously open about her opposition to ICE, including questioning how potential immigration violations compare to Trump’s 2024 criminal conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, Grande joins fellow superstar musicians Adele, Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Earth Wind and Fire, Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, and Jack White who’ve opposed the use of their music in pro-Trump social media posts.
