Katy Perry Criticizes White House for Using Her Song in Iran War Video

26 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

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.
This incident highlights the contentious intersection of art and politics, particularly in times of conflict. Perry's reaction underscores the importance of artist consent in the use of their work, especially when it is associated with military actions.
