Kesha has taken to social media to express her outrage after the Trump administration used her song "Blow" in a video depicting a military operation that involved the destruction of a ship. The video, which was posted on the White House's TikTok account on February 10, featured military aircraft in action, and Kesha was quick to respond, stating that she did not authorize the use of her music for such a purpose. In her post, she emphasized her belief in love over hate and condemned the use of her song amidst military violence. This incident reflects a broader issue of artists' rights and the use of their work without proper consent, which she found especially disrespectful given the context of the video.

This situation is not isolated, as the Trump administration has faced similar backlash in the past for using music without permission. For instance, in December 2022, the government was criticized for using Sabrina Carpenter's song "Juno" in a video showing immigrant detentions. Such incidents highlight ongoing tensions between artists and the political establishment regarding the use of creative work. Kesha's comments also resonate with larger discussions about the rights of artists and the ethical implications of using their music in contexts that may oppose their own values.
