## Resource

Zara Larsson is speaking out after her song “Midnight Sun” was used in a White House video about immigration arrests — calling it dehumanizing and at odds with the track’s original message of nature and connection. She joins a growing list of artists, including Ariana Grande and SZA, who’ve clashed with the Trump administration over unauthorized political uses of their music, sparking demands for removal and even legal battles as artists fight to protect their creative intent from politicized exploitation.
