I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
Kicking my feet because I’m performing at the @FIFAWorldCup 2026 Opening Ceremony in Los Angeles on June 12th! Stay tuned for more info - don’t let this be #TheOneThatGotAway ⚽️
The world’s game reaches its biggest stage in the USA 🇺🇸
The United States takes centre stage as football, music, and culture ignite the #FIFAWorldCup 🏆🎶🎆
In the vault for 15 yrs, and you’ve given it a reason to come out and play. I hope you enjoy Floria Sigismondi’s Director’s Cut as much as I’ve enjoyed watching your stories of what TOTGA means to you. ♥️
