"The spat began on Monday when the White House shared a 21-second clip to its official X account, which stitched an edited version of Carpenter's Juno to scenes of immigration officers handcuffing and pinning migrants to the ground. Each repetition of the lyric Have you ever tried this one? cued a new detention shot, prompting the White House to caption the reel: Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye."
"Soon after the post went live, Carpenter clapped back: This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda, she wrote, collecting more than 1.7 million likes. this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. Sabrina Carpenter (@SabrinaAnnLynn) December 2, 2025"
The White House posted a 21-second clip on X that stitched an edited version of Sabrina Carpenter's "Juno" to footage of immigration officers detaining migrants. Each repetition of the lyric "Have you ever tried this one?" was paired with a new detention shot and captioned "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye." Carpenter responded on social media calling the video "evil and disgusting" and demanded that her music not be used to "benefit your inhumane agenda," which gained widespread attention. The White House initially defended the post through spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, but the original X clip was later removed and the TikTok copy lost its audio, suggesting the administration withdrew the audio after Carpenter's objection.
