Ariana Grande Slams Trump Administration for Using ‘We Can’t Be Friends’ in TikTok Video: ‘Your Truth Is False’
Ariana Grande has once again blasted the Trump administration for using her music in social media clips promoting the president.
Team Trump posted a video to TikTok on Thursday (Aug.
20) soundtracked by Grande’s 2024 Eternal Sunshine hit “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).” The clip finds Trump walking toward the podium at a speaking engagement and is captioned with lyrics from Grande’s Billboard Hot 100 -topping smash, “Me and my truth we sit in silence,” followed by a statement about women’s sports.
“Men can’t have babies and should never compete in women’s sports,” the post continues.
Team Trump added in the caption: “This shouldn’t be controversial! #trump #arianagrande #maga.” Grande quickly got wind of Team Trump’s post and slammed the administration for using her work in the comment section.
“Never use my music again.
Also, your truth is false,” she responded.
Arianators also flocked to the comment section to alert the singer.
“Does Ariana know he’s using her song AGAIN,” one fan wrote.
This isn’t the first time Grande has spoken out against the Trump administration for using the pop star’s music to promote its content.
She previously condemned Trump’s deployment of ICE after the agency posted a clip soundtracked by 2024’s “Bye” in June.
“Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense.
F— ICE,” she commented.
Plenty of Ari’s pop star peers have criticized Trump’s deployment of the U.S.
