Kesha Slams White House for Unauthorized Use of Her Song in Military TikTok

Kesha, the singer behind the hit song 'Blow,' has taken to social media to express her outrage over the White House's unauthorized use of her song in a military TikTok video. The video, which was posted last month, features the song 'Blow' and is meant to promote the military's efforts in a war-torn region.

In a scathing social media post, Kesha called the White House's use of her song 'a blatant disregard for human life.' She also accused the White House of trying to 'make light of war' and 'incite violence and threaten war' with the video.

This is not the first time that the White House has faced criticism for using a celebrity's song without permission. In 2025, Sabrina Carpenter rebuked the White House for using her song 'Juno' in a video promoting ICE without her permission.

Kesha's song 'Blow' was released in 2010 and has since become a popular anthem for those fighting against oppression and injustice. The song's lyrics speak to the struggles of those who are marginalized and oppressed, and Kesha's use of the song in this context is a powerful statement against the White House's actions.

The White House has yet to respond to Kesha's criticism, but the incident has sparked a heated debate on social media about the use of celebrity music in government propaganda.
