Katy Perry during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Far-left singer Katy Perry is going viral after throwing a tantrum over the Trump White House using one of her songs in a TikTok video.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Trump White House on Thursday shared footage of CENTCOM launching strikes against Iran for the 13th consecutive night.

On TikTok, they posted a nine-second clip of Perry’s 2010 hit song “Firework” playing in the background while Iran is getting lit up.

“Iran has been warned,” the post description reads.

WATCH:

@whitehouseIran has been warned. 🎆

♬ original sound – The White House

After seeing the footage, a livid Perry took to X and lashed out.

“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,” she whined. “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.”

Shut up lol what an entitled/elitist loser you are.

If you don’t want people “using” your music then don’t release it. Keep it to yourself, and don’t make money.

Your opinion has never been wanted, and your music is mediocre at best these days.

You should be honored they did.

You don’t even own your own music. Which makes this post even more pathetic. You’re a prisoner of the system getting mad that other ppl don’t want to be prisoners too.

I’m deeply disgusted that you released the song Watch It Burn. Is there anyway we can get that taken down off the platforms. It’s not problematic, it’s just a horrible song.
