Singer Sabrina Carpenter publicly criticized the White House after one of her songs was used in a social media video promoting federal immigration raids, calling the post \u201cevil and disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carpenter responded on X after the White House published a video featuring clips of arrests, officers chasing a suspect, and protesters confronting federal agents. The footage was edited to the sound of her song \u201cJuno,\u201d accompanied by the caption, \u201cHave you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,\u201d a reference to the lyrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis video is evil and disgusting,\u201d Carpenter wrote. \u201cDo not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her post has gathered more than 725,000 likes as of Tuesday evening, far surpassing the engagement on the White House video, which had about 26,000 likes at 7 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The response comes one day after another public backlash involving creative works and the Trump administration. The publisher of Franklin the Turtle condemned Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for sharing an edited image depicting Franklin firing a weapon from a military helicopter, labeled as a mock book cover titled \u201cFranklin Targets Narco Terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement<\/a>, Kids Can Press said it \u201cstrongly condemn[s] any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin\u2019s name or image,\u201d noting that the character represents kindness and inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.<\/p>— Sabrina Carpenter (@SabrinaAnnLynn) December 2, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>
