“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” the “Espresso” singer, 26, wrote in an X message, on Tuesday. December 2.
On the previous day, the White House posted a TikTok video set to the tune of Carpenter’s 2024 hit off her album Short n’ Sweet. The TikTok video features clips from protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and footage of people getting chased and handcuffed by agency officials.
“Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,” reads the TikTok caption, which references the “Juno” lyric: “Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?”
During Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet tour, which concluded in November, the pop star would playfully “arrest” concert-goers with handcuffs, for looking “hot” during her performance of “Juno.”
Carpenter is not the only singer who has protested the Trump administration’s use of their songs.

In November 2025, Olivia Rodrigo called out the White House and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for including her song “all-american bh” in an Instagram video that urged people to self-deport. According to USA Today, Rodrigo 22, wrote in a now-deleted comment under the post, “don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda” and the song is no longer featured in the video.
DHS responded to Rodrigo by telling USA Today on Friday, November 7: “America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe. We suggest Ms. Rodrigo thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.”
