Katy Perry Criticizes White House for Using 'Firework' in Military Video
The Daily Beast reports that pop star Katy Perry has expressed strong disapproval regarding the White House's use of her 2010 anthem 'Firework' in a social media video. The official White House TikTok account paired footage of military strikes and exploding bombs with the song's lyrics, specifically the line 'boom, boom, boom,' to illustrate a warning to Iran. Perry stated on X that she was 'deeply appalled and angry' by the decision. She described the pairing of her uplifting message with imagery of destruction as a 'complete violation' of what the song stands for. This incident marks the latest instance of an artist criticizing the Trump administration for its selection of music in political content.
