Taylor Swift Is Not Alone: 8 Artists Who Banned Donald Trump From Using Their Music

A growing list of musicians says it won’t tolerate Donald Trump using their music in political posts and campaign content, and Taylor Swift is the latest name in the mix. The article points to similar actions across the industry, including cease-and-desist letters, demands for removal, and legal steps, raising questions about artists’ rights to control how songs are used. Swift has reportedly avoided major public statements while tracking Trump-linked social media uses, including “August” and “Father Figure,” which were muted or removed. It also highlights objections by Olivia Rodrigo over “All-American Bitch,” Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” ABBA, and Neil Young.
