Katy Perry condemned the White House for using her 2010 hit Firework in a TikTok video depicting military strikes, saying she didn’t approve it and that it misrepresents the song’s message of hope and unity. Her objections sit within a broader outcry from other artists over unauthorized use of music by the administration, reflecting a wider backlash against politicized licensing of songs.
Katy Perry’s Lifetimes Tour – Live From Paris will get a limited worldwide theatrical run starting September 2 in 70 countries, with IMAX screenings and 150 UK cinemas, filmed over two Paris nights with 60 cameras and including behind-the-scenes footage and a fan-favorite setlist. The release follows its Tribeca Festival premiere, supports charitable causes tied to Perry’s Firework Foundation and the Music Venue Trust, and is distributed by Trafalgar Releasing.
