Ariana Grande's 'ICE OUT' pin at the 2026 Golden Globes is being seen in a new light after the singer publicly blasted the White House for using her music in a pro-immigration enforcement video, shortly after unveiling her Brighter Days Ahead Foundation to support migrants and other vulnerable groups. The row began when the White House posted a TikTok using her track 'Bye' over footage of immigrants being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, prompting Grande to accuse the administration of linking her work to 'barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense.'
The clash between Ariana Grande and the White House is playing out against a familiar backdrop in the United States, where immigration enforcement and the role of ICE remain bitterly contested. The video, which the White House shared with the caption 'President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history', attempted to showcase tough border measures, using the pop star's song without permission as its soundtrack.
