Katy Perry condemns White House Firework use; rights complicate
Katy Perry condemned the White House for using her 2010 hit Firework in a TikTok video depicting military strikes, saying she didn’t approve it and that it misrepresents the song’s message of hope and unity. Her objections sit within a broader outcry from other artists over unauthorized use of music by the administration, reflecting a wider backlash against politicized licensing of songs.
