Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has slammed the Trump administration for using her song Juno in a video that shows people being detained by ICE. Carpenter, 26, took to social media to express her disapproval, stating, 'This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.' The video in question, posted on The White House's official social media page, features people being handcuffed and chased down the street while Carpenter's song plays in the background. The lyrics, 'Have you ever tried this one?' repeat incessantly, adding a chilling effect to the scene. The White House captioned the video with a playful twist, 'Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,' accompanied by a waving and red heart-eye emoji. Carpenter's fans were quick to support her, with one fan suggesting a copyright strike, another urging a cease and desist, and a third even proposing a lawsuit. The White House's response to Carpenter's criticism was dismissive, with an official representative stating, 'We won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.' This incident comes on the heels of another controversy involving pop star Taylor Swift, who was also urged to take legal action against the Trump administration for using her song in a similar context. The Trump campaign's history of using songs without permission is well-documented, with a recent lawsuit filed by the estate of Isaac Hayes Jr. claiming copyright violation. The campaign has been ordered to stop using certain songs, and the Trump team has expressed a willingness to avoid any further legal issues.
