President Donald Trump’s social media posts have been found using songs by major recording artists, according to reports, but the posts have since been removed or the music references taken down. NDTV reports that the use of songs was tied to artists’ public requests that the Trump administration stop using their music in social media posts.
The reports describe that dozens of artists, including Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter, have urged the administration not to use their songs without permission. NDTV frames the change as following artist pressure and concerns about rights and consent, though it does not detail any specific legal or administrative action.
While the core fact across outlets is that music from multiple artists appeared in Trump-related posts and was then removed, the emphasis can differ on why it happened. Some coverage centers on the artists’ requests and the apparent withdrawal of the posts, while others focus more broadly on copyright and licensing considerations in political and promotional online content.
