It’s pretty clear Ariana Grande would like to “Thank U, Next” the Trump administration.
On Thursday, the pop star left a savage message on the White House’s TikTok page after it posted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement propaganda video using her 2024 song, “Bye,” Reuters reports.
The White House’s TikTok — which as of Friday is completely silent on the platform — featured the chorus in which Grande croons “Bye-bye, boy, bye” while footage rolls of ICE arrests.
“please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. fuck ICE,” Grande wrote in a now-deleted comment for the video, per a screenshot published by TMZ.
It is unclear why the Grammy winner’s comment was deleted, who deleted it, or why the “Into You” singer’s song no longer plays in the video on the platform.
HuffPost has reached out to Grande for comment. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, however, did respond to the “Wicked” star’s earlier words, telling HuffPost in a statement:
“We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens,” Jackson said.
