Katy Perry recently slammed the White House after one of her biggest songs was used in a social media video showing military strikes.
The singer said she was never asked for permission and made it clear she did not support the way her music was used.
The problem began after the official White House TikTok account shared a video of US missile attacks with Perry’s stunt in 2010. Fireworks play in the background.
The post also included the caption: “Iran has been warned.”
Shortly after, Perry shared a statement about X and later reposted it on Instagram Stories.
THE Black horse The hitmaker said she was “deeply appalled and angry” over the video and stressed that she did not approve of the use of her song.
The singer explained that she wrote Firework to give people hope during difficult times.
She said seeing it used alongside scenes of violence goes against everything the song stands for.
Perry also said his music was meant to bring people together and not celebrate war or conflict.
She is not the first artist to speak out about the use of music in political positions.
Kesha and Sabrina Carpenter also criticized the White House after their songs appeared in similar videos.
The backlash came as she continues to make headlines in her personal life.
Katy is currently dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The couple made their red carpet debut earlier this year after confirming their romance in late 2025.
