Here's How Team Trump Got Ariana Grande to Have a Complete Meltdown

Team Trump knows exactly which buttons to push, and this week it went straight for one of Ariana Grande's own songs to do it.

And it was pretty epic.

On Thursday, the Team Trump TikTok account, which has 14 million followers and has been running since before the 2024 election, posted a video of Trump walking to a rally podium set to Grande's 2024 song "We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)." Text overlaid on the video read, "Me and my truth we sit in silence...Men can't have babies and should never compete in women's sports." The caption made the point even plainer: "This shouldn't be controversial! #trump #arianagrande #maga."

It really shouldn't be.

Gallup's most recent survey on the subject backs that up completely. The polling firm found that 69% of Americans oppose letting men who "identify" as women compete in women's sports. The same survey found 69% believe transgender athletes should compete only on teams that match their biological sex, not their gender identity, and 66% say documents like passports and driver's licenses should reflect birth sex rather than gender identity. Those are landslide numbers. Other surveys have found similar numbers.

Make no mistake about it, this was never the 50-50 issue a few terminally online corners of the internet and apparently, Hollywood, like to pretend it is.

Of course, Grande did not see any of that as up for debate. She commented on the Team Trump post, demanding that the account stop using her music and pushing back against the claims made in the video. "Never use my music again," Grande wrote. "Also, your truth is false."

Weird, because the left used to say that personal truth mattered more than biology.

But I digress.

Her comment has since disappeared, and the song itself has been pulled from the post by the copyright owner. Anyone in the U.S. who pulls up the video now gets a message reading, "The copyright owner hasn't made this sound available in your country."

This is not exactly new territory for her. Back in June, Grande objected to the White House using her song "Bye" in a post promoting ICE arrests, calling the video "barbaric." That post was captioned, "Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history," with on-screen text reading, "Mood because it's August and Donald Trump is your president."

"Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense," Grande commented at the time. “F**k ICE." Her representatives confirmed she posted it, even though it was no longer publicly visible by the time anyone looked for it, and that the copyright owner pulled the song as well.

Grande is welcome to her own opinion, but the fact is she is on the fringe on this issue. I know part of her brand is being some unflinching LGBTQ ally or whatever, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is wrong. And the best part is the way Team Trump tagged her in the post. They were fishing for a reaction, and Grande’s little meltdown just drew even more attention to Trump’s post.

So congratulations, Ariana, why don’t you eat a steak or something?
