Pop star Ariana Grande criticizes Donald Trump after his campaign uses her music in a TikTok video promoting anti-trans views. Grande responds to a video posted by the Trump campaign that incorporates her 2024 song “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).” She publicly calls the message false, framing the campaign’s use of the track as unacceptable.
Reports across outlets say the post has gained significant attention on social media, with one source citing more than 357,000 views. PinkNews and others note that Grande’s label is seeking removal of the video, though specific legal or platform steps are not detailed. ComingSoon and Deadline describe Grande’s reaction as part of a broader pattern of artists objecting to unauthorized political use of their songs. Grande’s remarks focus on disputing the campaign’s assertions about trans people rather than on other campaign issues.
