Kesha is pushing back after her 2010 hit “Blow” appeared in a video shared by an official White House social media account. The post, which featured the song playing in the background, quickly caught the singer’s attention. She responded publicly, stating that she did not approve the use of the track and had not granted permission for it to be included.
In a statement shared online, Kesha made it clear she does not support the message tied to the video. Her response centered on artist control and the right to decide how and where music is used. The White House video has since drawn attention across social media, with fans weighing in on the situation.
Disputes like this are not new. Over the years, several musicians have objected when political campaigns or government entities used their songs without authorization. Artists typically retain rights that allow them to challenge unapproved uses, particularly when the music appears to signal endorsement.
For Kesha, the message was straightforward: her work should not be used without consent.
