White House Pushes Back After Noah Kahan’s Critique of Trump Song Use

The White House defended Trump’s use of Noah Kahan’s song “American Cars” in a video, prompting a reply from Kahan who wrote, “Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration,” a comment that gained thousands of likes. Deputy White House communications director Kaelan Dorr responded on X with a jab, hinting at “Trump derangement syndrome” and referencing Kahan’s hit “Northern Attitude.” The report also notes other celebrities who have criticized Trump’s use of their music and that artists can sometimes lose control of their songs once publicly posted; Kahan is currently touring on The Great Divide Tour.
