5 Artists That Want Trump to Stop Playing Their Music

In This Article:

Half way through Trump's reign as president, it is not a surprise that there are a lot of people who do not like Trump, including celebrities. Many musicians have spoken up about Trump's use of their music at political rallies and events, often to say - don't use it!

Rihanna

The most recent celebrity to speak out about Trump's use of her music. Rihanna made her anger towards Trump known on twitter, after it was made known to her that Trump was using "Don't Stop the Music" to hype of crowds during his political rallies, stating: "Not for much longer..me nor my people would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies". Following her public response, Rihanna has sent a cease and desist letter, one of many received by The President lately, banning Trump from using her music at political rallies and events.

The Rolling Stones

Trump's favorite genre to play at many of his rallies are classic rock bands, but many of these bands, like the Rolling Stones, do not appreciate their music being used to promote a cause they do not believe in. The Rolling Stones have released the following statement: "The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately".

Queen

Again, President Donald Trump took it upon himself to use Queen's "We are the Champions" at many political rallies in 2016. However, Trump failed to obtain the proper license, and when Queen found out, they sent him a cease and desist letter, which he promptly ignored.

Adele

Adele may be the "first" to really ban trump from using her music. During the 2016 election, even though she is unable to vote in US, UK native Adele greatly advocated for Hillary Clinton, and promptly banned Trump from using any of her music at any events.

Pharrell

After Trump's inappropriate use of Pharrell's song 'Happy" following the tragic events at the Pittsburgh synagogue, Pharrell follow suit with other bands, like Queen and The Rolling Stones, and released an official cease and desist letter, banning Trump from using his music at any political events.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
