Episode Details

Noah Kahan and Katy Perry are leading a growing chorus of artists slamming the White House for using their music in political contexts — Kahan over “American Cars” at a Michigan event, Perry over “Firework” in a video on military strikes. Both say their songs aren’t meant to endorse war or power, sparking a wider debate about artists’ rights and whether legal use can ever feel like a betrayal. From Springsteen to Rihanna, musicians are standing firm: their music shouldn’t be weaponized — even if it’s technically allowed.
