Katy Perry ‘deeply appalled’ White House used her music in military video

Recording artist Katy Perry on Saturday ripped the Trump administration for using her music in a military video. 

"I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it," she wrote on X in reference to the use of her hit song, "Firework."

"I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for," she added. 

Perry also said her "music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare."
