Ariana Grande criticizes the Trump administration after a White House TikTok video uses her 2024 song “Bye” as the soundtrack to footage showing ICE agents arresting and handcuffing people. Multiple outlets report that Grande comments on the post and urges the White House to stop using her music in connection with immigration enforcement. She describes the use as “barbaric, inhumane” and similar phrases, including “heinous nonsense,” according to the reports. The White House responds after her public remarks, though the specific details of the response vary by outlet. Deadline and other sources also connect the video to the administration’s immigration policy messaging, including references to Secure America Act funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Daily Mail reports that Grande’s team was seeking removal of the track and that the song appeared to be taken down after she requested it. Overall, the dispute centers on whether the White House is using Grande’s music in a way she does not authorize, alongside broader criticism of how immigration enforcement is portrayed in the video.
