Katy Perry<\/strong><\/a> is slamming President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s administration after the official White House TikTok account featured her hit song \u201cFirework\u201d in a video highlighting ongoing U.S. military strikes in Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply appalled and angry to see \u2018Firework\u2019 used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes,\u201d the singer, 41, wrote via X<\/a> on Saturday, July 25. \u201cI did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for. My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, July 24, the White House shared unclassified footage of U.S. airstrikes on what appeared to be Iran military infrastructure. The video, which showed the missile strikes in black and white, is set to Perry\u2019s song, focusing on her \u201cboom boom\u201d and \u201ceven brighter than the moon\u201d lyrics.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe White House has the internet talking after using one of Taylor Swift\u2019s hit singles on TikTok despite President Donald Trump\u2019s online feud with the pop star. On Monday, November 3, the official White House TikTok account posted a video of President Trump, 79, and his administration largely based on Swift\u2019s No. 1 hit \u201cThe [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIran has been warned,\u201d the White House captioned the video. Us<\/em> has reached out to the White House for comment on Perry\u2019s claim she was not consulted about the use of her song in the video.<\/p>\n

Trump, 80, and his administration are facing increased scrutiny over the unpopular decision to go to war with Iran \u2014 according to a July Washington Post<\/em>-ISOS poll<\/a>, 68 percent of Americans say the war in Iran is not worth fighting. Despite the U.S. military\u2019s overwhelming might, Iran has been successful in closing the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>, a key passageway for various goods, causing gas prices<\/a> and the cost of other necessary items<\/a> to skyrocket.<\/p>\n

To date, Trump has claimed at least 32 times<\/a> that the war was ending, near an end or over, yet the conflict wages on with no end in sight as his Department of Defense requests an additional $67 billion<\/a> in supplemental funding.<\/p>\n

Perry, for her part, is just the latest in a growing list of performers and entertainers to condemn Trump and his White House for using their art without their explicit permission.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease do not ever use \u2060my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous \u200bnonsense. Fck [f***] ice,\u201d Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a> wrote in direct response to a June, pro-immigration enforcement video shared by the White House featuring her son \u201cBye.\u201d After a spokesperson for the singer, 33, confirmed to Us<\/em> it was, in fact, Grande who wrote the comment, the White House removed the audio<\/a> from the controversial video.<\/p>\n

Singer Kesha<\/strong><\/a> also slammed Trump and the White House for using her song \u201cBlow\u201d in another pro-war TikTok Video<\/a> prior to the conflict in Iran.<\/p>\n
