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.

🌳 Happy Park & Recreation Professionals Day! 🎾
Today, we celebrate the professionals who create welcoming spaces where communities can play, connect, and thrive.
Let’s be clear about what this speech was: a desperate attempt by a failing president to attack our elections ahead of midterms he is going to lose.
No matter how outrageous, Trump’s lies won’t silence the millions fed up with reckless war, rising costs, and ICE lawlessness.
I’m listening to the CDC presser about Ebola right now.
This is an absolute embarrassment.
This is SO non-transparent.
@CDCDirector and @HHSGov—this is NOT okay. Let our CDC folks speak and share what we know.
This is going to explode in your face if you don’t.
