Ariana Grande demands that ICE not use her music

The White House continues to use pop music in very bad taste to accompany actions by ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service that has terrorized the world’s population and has taken the lives of several people. On this occasion, they have uploaded a video to TikTok that includes ‘Bye’ by Ariana Grande, a song included in her latest album so far, ‘eternal sunshine’.

Ariana Grande has been forceful, leaving them a comment: “Please do not use my music again in relation to this nonsense of barbarism, inhumanity and atrocity.” According to several media outlets, the comment has been hidden or deleted by the White House, when several Ariana Grande fans had already taken screenshots.

The artist is immersed in the promotion of a new album that will be released at the end of next July. At the moment we know the preview ‘hate that I made you love me’, which has managed to be the most listened to song in the world for 8 non-consecutive days, on Spotify.
