Pop singer Ariana Grande criticizes President Donald Trump and his campaign for using her music in a TikTok video promoting anti-trans views. The posts identify the track as Grande’s 2024 single “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” used alongside messaging that targets transgender people.
Several outlets report that Grande reacts publicly after seeing the video and tells Trump to stop using her music. Coverage also notes that the TikTok video draws substantial attention, with PinkNews citing more than 357,000 views. The articles differ mainly in emphasis: some foreground Grande’s direct quotes to the Trump campaign, including “Your truth is false,” while others stress the broader trend of artists objecting to unauthorized political use of their songs.
PinkNews additionally reports that her label is seeking removal of the content, while other outlets focus more on Grande’s demand that Trump remove the song from future promotion. Across the sources, the central point is Grande’s public condemnation tied to the use of her song in a politically framed anti-trans post.
