  • Katy Perry has expressed her outrage after the Trump administration used her song 'Firework' in a TikTok video showcasing military strikes against Iran. The video, which features footage of a missile hitting an Iranian naval ship, has garnered over 6 million views.
  • Perry stated that she never authorized the use of her music for such purposes.
  • The video was part of a broader communication strategy by the Trump administration, aiming to convey a strong message to Iran. The choice of a popular song like 'Firework' suggests an attempt to resonate emotionally with a younger audience on social media platforms.
