美国流行歌手凯蒂·佩里25日公开谴责白宫未经其授权在展示美军军事打击伊朗的视频中使用了她的歌曲《Firework》[1]。该视频的配文为"伊朗已被警告"[1]。
佩里在声明中表示"我并未批准这样做，也无人征询过我的意见，我绝对不纵容这种行为"[1]，对这一举动感到深感震惊和愤怒。她指责白宫将自己的音乐"武器化"[1]，违背了歌曲的本意。佩里强调，创作《Firework》的初衷是"关于希望、治愈和内心力量的歌"[1]，而"我的音乐是为了将人们团结在一起，而不是为了颂扬战争"[1]。
Katy Perry publicly denounced the White House on July 25 for using her song "Firework" without permission in a video showcasing U.S. military strikes against Iran.[1] The video, captioned "Iran has been warned," incorporated the track without the artist's consent or consultation.[1]
Perry expressed that she felt "deeply shocked and angered" by the decision, arguing that the White House had "weaponized" her music in a manner that contradicted its original message.[1] In a statement, she declared: "I did not approve this, nor was I consulted, and I absolutely do not condone this action."[1] Perry emphasized that her composition was intended to unite people rather than glorify warfare.[1] She noted that "Firework" was originally conceived as "a song about hope, healing, and inner strength,"[1] purposes fundamentally at odds with its deployment in military promotional content.
