Just days after Katy Perry called out the Trump Administration for using "Firework" in a video, Noah Kahan has shared his disapproval of the inclusion of one of his songs in a White House social media post.

What Noah Kahan Song Did the White House Use?
On Monday, July 27, President Donald Trump came to Milford, Michigan, to visit the General Motors proving ground.
A clip of the event was posted on social media by the White House. In it, the world leader is seen signing a Corvette to Kahan's song "American Cars."
The song's inclusion seemingly took Kahan by surprise. The 29-year-old then wrote in the video's comments, "Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration."
The song's co-writer, Gabe Simon, also shared a similar sentiment in his own separate comment.
Since Kahan's remarks, the song has been removed from the Instagram post. However, it currently remains on TikTok.
The White House Clapped Back at Kahan
Kaelan Dorr responded to Kahan's comments on X. He is the deputy assistant to President Trump and the White House's deputy communications director.
Dorr wrote in the post, "Symptoms of TDS apparently include having a northern attitude."
TDS is an acronym for the term "Trump derangement syndrome."
In addition to Kahan, other celebrities apparently afflicted with TDS include Rosie O'Donnell, John Leguizamo, Whoopi Goldberg, Edward Norton, Robert De Niro, and Julia Roberts. Earlier this month, President Trump posted an AI-generated video of him as a doctor. He promised a cure to the above celebrities that often criticize him and his policies.
"The treatment is simple," explained AI Trump. "Turn off fake news, say your prayers, and if you ever feel anxious, just have a Diet Coke like me, and you're going to see a remarkable difference in your life."
Other artists, including Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, have disapproved of the White House using their music in its videos. Yesterday, we shared that Perry disapproved of the White House for using "Firework" in a video highlighting military strikes.
"I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments," she wrote on X. "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."
