Katy Perry 'Deeply Appalled' Over White House Using Her Song in Iran War Video The White House's latest TikTok video, featuring Katy Perry's hit song "Firework" over footage of US military strikes on Iranian targets, has sparked outrage among music fans and raised questions about the ethics of using popular culture to promote war.
Perry herself condemned the move, stating that she never approved the use of her song in this context.
The irony is not lost that a song meant to be an anthem of hope and inner strength was used to accompany footage of destruction and violence.
