Sabrina Carpenter has joined a long list of artists in asking the White House to remove her music from one of their videos. Like many other songs, her hit song “Juno” was recently used by the White House officials in one of the clips showing a montage of ICE raids. This was, of course, without the permission of the artist, citing a strong response from her.
White House responds to Sabrina Carpenter
The two-time Grammy winner recently slammed the White House for unauthorized use of her viral 2024 song, “Juno.” The White House used it in a montage of ICE raids.
On Tuesday, Sabrina Carpenter slammed the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the White House for the post. In her repost, she wrote, “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
In the video, the 26-year-old sings, “Have you ever tried this one?” on loop. Also accompanying the track are various clips of people being chased down and slammed to the ground.
Eventually, the White House responded to Carpenter’s protest. Representative Abigail Jackson stated to CNBC, “Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.”
Jackson further referenced Carpenter’s song “Manchild.” She added, “Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”
As of writing, the “Espresso” crooner has yet to respond to these comments. Meanwhile, this is hardly the first instance of an artist asking to take down their songs. The White House has also used Taylor Swift’s songs in such videos. However, the billionaire pop star did not have anything to say about this and has maintained her silence.
Kenny Loggins was one of the artists who made headlines in October for demanding the removal of his song, “Danger Zone,” from a video. He said in an official statement on his website, “Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video be removed immediately.”
Unfortunately, this continues to be a trend around the world as artists keep protesting about unauthorized usage of their music.
