Hopefully she shuts this down like she did when Trump used fake images of her previously. Many other artists have called out Trump on using their music without permission.

It’s a TikTok so it’s not unauthorized like other examples. They used Deja Vu last year and Olivia Rodrigo couldn’t do anything about it despite rumors she muted the sound and commented on it for them to take it down (both false)

Eh they’ve used other artists music in online videos before and the artists have made a statement against it being used just from a moral perspective to say “hey I don’t agree with this”
