Kesha Condemns White House TikTok Using Her Song Over War Footage

Her objection highlights recurring disputes over political use of music without artists’ consent.

Overview

  • The TikTok clip posted in mid-February shows combat jets and a missile striking a warship as the lyric “This place about to blow” from Kesha’s “Blow” hits.
  • Kesha called the pairing “disgusting and inhuman” and said she does not agree to her music being used to promote any violence.
  • She wrote that the White House used her track “to stoke violence and threaten with war,” and reports say the song was used without seeking her permission.
  • Her posts included the phrase “Love always trumps hate” and a pointed reference to President Trump tied to mentions of the Epstein files.
  • Coverage notes no legal action filed or official White House response reported at this time.
