Fans rally behind Sabrina Carpenter after White House spat

Social media users are rallying behind pop star Sabrina Carpenter after the White House hit back at her criticism over the use of her music.

The controversy erupted when the White House posted a video of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests set to Carpenter’s hit Juno. The clip even quoted her lyric, “Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,” a line she famously used on tour to introduce a dance routine.

The 26-year-old quickly took to X, warning the administration: “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.

White House responds to Sabrina Carpenter

“Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina: We won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”… https://t.co/xbgy9rOY7G

The White House’s harsh response has only strengthened Carpenter’s support base.

She is not the only artist to speak out against the Trump administration. Olivia Rodrigo also criticized the White House for using one of her songs in a post that critics described as “racist, hateful propaganda” promoting self-deportation messaging.
