Katy Perry slams White House over 'Firework' use in military strike video

"I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments," Perry said. "To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for."

She said her music is "for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare."

The dispute is the latest in a series of objections from musicians over the White House using their songs in social media content. Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter have previously objected to the use of their music in immigration-related content. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
