Zara Larsson has become the latest artist to have their hit song hijacked by the White House for an offensive TikTok video showcasing ICE.
On Thursday, the Swedish singer blasted the Trump administration’s social media team for using her “Midnight Sun” to soundtrack clips of ICE agents arresting people alongside the caption “Never ending deportations.”
“I’m just sad. My heart is heavy seeing that, because I wish I could speak to whoever made that video,” Larsson said in a video response posted on TikTok. “I wish I could talk to you, and I wish I could help you remember that you and I, we aren’t that different at all. And we’re not that different from the people in the video, either. The biggest difference between us is that we were dealt a different hand in life.”
The singer continued, “I consider myself so lucky with the life that I’ve been dealt. The fact that I’m born in Sweden, I’ve had an education and I’ve had all these opportunities just sort of laid out in front of me. I can travel and get to do all these amazing things. That’s luck. There are people out there who are not that lucky, and they want to have a better life for their families or for themselves and their children. I just don’t understand how it could be the worst thing in the world to be an undocumented immigrant.”
