Synthesized from 2 sources

Pop star Ariana Grande has publicly demanded that the White House stop using her music in official videos and content, joining a growing list of artists making similar requests to the Trump administration.

The singer specifically objected to the use of her song "Bye" in a White House video, calling the usage "heinous nonsense" in her statement. Grande did not provide additional details about the specific video or context in which her music was used.

The dispute reflects a broader pattern of tensions between musicians and political campaigns or administrations over unauthorized use of copyrighted material. Artists typically retain control over how their music is used in political contexts, even when others have obtained licenses for the songs.

Grande's objection adds her name to a list of multiple artists who have requested that Trump's team discontinue using their music for political purposes. The practice of musicians objecting to political use of their songs has become increasingly common across party lines in recent years.

Neither the White House nor representatives for Grande immediately responded to requests for comment about the specific video in question or whether the administration would comply with the artist's request.
