Digital Phablet — Noah Kahan has added his name to the growing list of artists who refuse to be associated with the Trump administration.
On Monday, President Donald Trump and the official White House social media channels shared a carousel of photos and videos celebrating his recent visit to a General Motors plant in Michigan. Among the media was a clip featuring Kahan’s song “American Cars.”
“Nothing beats American cars,” the White House captioned a TikTok video of Trump signing a Corvette at the facility.
After some fans voiced concern over the use of Kahan’s song to promote Trump’s visit, the singer swiftly withdrew his approval.
“Would never endorse my music being used to support you or this administration,” Kahan commented under Trump’s post.
Kahan’s guitarist and co-writer of the track, Noah Levine, responded sharply, saying, “You fat f—, this song isn’t for you.”
Their social media remarks certainly drew attention from the Trump team, with Kaelan Dorr, deputy assistant to the President and White House deputy communications director, mocking Kahan on X (formerly Twitter): “Symptoms of Trump derangement syndrome apparently include a northern attitude,” referencing another of Kahan’s songs.
Despite the controversy, “American Cars” was removed from Trump’s Instagram post, though the TikTok video remains active as of now.
When approached for comment, the White House declined further explanation.
Kahan and Levine’s comments continue a tradition of artists publicly condemning the White House for unauthorized use of their music. Recently, Katy Perry criticized the White House after her 2010 hit “Firework” was used in a social media clip depicting military strikes on Iran.
“I did not authorize this, I wasn’t asked, and I absolutely do not condone it,” Perry stated publicly. “My song was meant to be an anthem of hope, healing, and resilience for those facing their darkest moments. Seeing it weaponized to endorse violence and destruction is a stark violation of its intent.”
Perry emphasized, “My music aims to unite people, not promote warfare.”
Beyond Kahan and Perry, many other artists including Olivia Rodrigo, Queen, Nickelback, Rihanna, R.E.M., Steven Tyler, Neil Young, and others, have called on Trump to cease using their songs at rallies, events, or social media campaigns.
