In her few short years in the spotlight, it\u2019s safe to say that Sabrina Carpenter has already compiled just about every accolade or \u201cyou\u2019ve made it to the top of the mountain\u201d signifier there is, including a pair of Grammy Awards. Today, she adds another prestigious rite of passage for an A-list musical artist: Telling off the Donald Trump administration for unauthorized use (what some might call \u201ctheft\u201d) of her music.<\/p>\n

Nor did the pop princess mince words: After the official White House account published a new Tuesday video in their ongoing series of heavily fetishized United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) depictions, which was set to snippets of Carpenter\u2019s \u201cJuno,\u201d the artist quickly responded by calling the video \u201cevil and disgusting.\u201d She immediately went on to demand,<\/a> \u201cDo not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s certainly nice to see Carpenter take such a direct and principled stand against wanting any association with a Trump administration that is currently in the process of attempting to scapegoat illegal immigrants in the U.S. for \u2026 well, just about any social ill. And there\u2019s little denying that it makes perfect sense for the likes of Carpenter to stand up against unauthorized use of her music, especially given that the Trump administration is proudly deporting the likes of 19-year-old Honduran college students<\/a> who make up a notable component of her own consumer demographic. But Sabrina absolutely gets bonus points for cutting right to the chase and not dancing around the point: When you see evil, call it evil! It\u2019s not complicated.<\/p>\n

Carpenter\u2019s tiff with the White House is just the latest of a seemingly endless flow of these same types of stories. In just the last few months, DHS managed to piss off Nintendo by using the Pokemon<\/i> TV theme in a video (September), the band MGMT by using \u201cLittle Dark Age\u201d in a video (October) and Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u201call-american bitch\u201d in another video in November, prompting her to put out a similar statement:<\/a> \u201cdon\u2019t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.\u201d Even residents of the so-called manosphere of male podcasters have not been immune, as DHS managed to unnerve Theo Von by using some of his clips in a social media video, prompting Von<\/a> to write on X, \u201cYooo DHS i didnt approve to be used in this.\u201d Perhaps unsurprisingly as a quasi-Trump ally, Von\u2019s request to have the video in question removed was one of the few that was actually honored.<\/p>\n

The illustrious history of the Trump campaign in particular using artists\u2019 music without permission has included a veritable who\u2019s-who of hall of fame performers, including at various points Beyonc\u00e9, Aerosmith, Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, Neil Young, ABBA, Ozzy Osbourne, R.E.M., Rihanna, The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes, Elton John and even the estate of George Harrison. Carpenter can no doubt consider herself in good company alongside so many musical greats, all united through the affirmation, spoken or unspoken, of Donald Trump as just a huge piece of shit.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
