Noah Kahan hits Trump over use of song in social post: ‘Would never approve’
Kahan said he would never approve the song’s use as the White House kept it on TikTok after fans flagged the post.
- On Tuesday, singer Noah Kahan criticized the White House for using his song "American Cars" in a social media post depicting President Donald Trump's visit to a General Motors flagship test site in Michigan.
- After fans tagged him, Kahan responded on Tuesday afternoon with disapproval: "Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration." Co-writer Noah Levine added, "You fat fuck this song isn't for you."
- While the track was removed from Instagram following the backlash, it remains featured on the White House TikTok post. Representatives for Kahan and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- Kahan joins a growing list of artists, including Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter, who have publicly condemned the administration for using their music in unauthorized political and military-related social media content.
