Sabrina Carpenter has become the latest pop star caught in a political firestorm after publicly criticising the Trump White House for using her song 'Juno' to soundtrack a video celebrating ICE deportation. Carpenter described the video as 'evil and disgusting,' telling officials not to use her music to promote 'inhumane' policies.
The White House responded aggressively, defending the footage as a tool to highlight the removal of 'dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles,' while questioning Carpenter's intelligence. The dispute quickly became a trending topic on X, fuelling debate around music licensing, immigration, and the broader culture war.
