Katy Perry is hitting back at the White House.
Earlier this week, the official TikTok account for the White House shared a video featuring footage of the military strikes in Iran set to the 41-year-old singer’s song “Fireworks.”
“Iran has been warned,” the White House wrote along with the video.
Then on Saturday (July 25), Katy took to X where she slammed the Trump administration for using her song in the video.
“I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes,” Katy wrote. “I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
“I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments,” she continued. “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,” Katy concluded.
Katy‘s comments come after Ariana Grande also slammed the White House for using her music in a video supporting ICE agents.
