Zara Larsson slams US president Donald Trump over ‘Midnight Sun’ use

The Swedish icon recently slammed the Trump administration over using her song ‘Midnight Sun’ as a soundtrack for one of their latest videos. Taking to their social media page, the video clip that has been posted with her song playing in the background is comprised of compiled clips of ICE agents arresting people.

The video was posted along with the caption "Never-ending deportations.”In her lengthy reply that she shared in a video on TikTok, she condemned their usage of her song and said, “I’m just sad. My heart is heavy seeing that, because I wish I could speak to whoever made that video.” She continued, saying, “I wish I could talk to you, and I wish I could help you remember that you and I, we aren’t that different at all. And we’re not that different from the people in the video, either.

The biggest difference between us is that we were dealt a different hand in life.

”She continued in the post, sharing, “I consider myself so lucky with the life that I’ve been dealt. The fact that I’m born in Sweden, I’ve had an education, and I’ve had all these opportunities just sort of laid out in front of me. I can travel and get to do all these amazing things. That’s luck. There are people out there who are not that lucky, and they want to have a better life for their families or for themselves and their children.

I just don’t understand how it could be the worst thing in the world to be an undocumented immigrant. This video is so dehumanizing. These people in the video are real people.”

Zara Larsson said that her song ‘Midnight Sun’ does not stand for this kind of message

In the video she also explained that the song is meant to be about “nature, the universe, and people.” She added, “It’s so crazy how everything is so meme-ified, especially ‘Midnight Sun,’ which is about feeling connected to nature, the universe, and people, essentially.

And this just creates this massive divide between people. I just don’t get it. It’s so fucking uncool… You guys are such fucking losers, like it’s crazy.
