The Trump administration implemented a social media strategy that, at times, was at odds with famous musicians for using their music in political advertisements. While some singers and songwriters let the copyright use slide, others spoke out against the administration.

Nancy Wilson

Nancy Wilson of the band Heart took issue with her song “Barracuda” playing during President Donald Trump’s military parade in June. She addressed the parade in an Instagram post that included a photo of herself wearing a “No Kings But Us” hat, in reference to the protests. Wilson claimed the parade did not have her or her sister Ann’s “permission or authorization” to use the song.
