In a dramatic yet all-too-common scenario, Swedish pop legends ABBA have joined the ranks of artists trying to silence President Donald Trump’s use of their music at his rallies. Known for their iconic 70s disco hits, ABBA has demanded that Trump cease playing their songs, alleging that the use is “unauthorized.” This incident highlights a growing trend of musicians attempting to control how their art is used in the political arena, particularly when it involves the former President.
However, the Trump campaign has firmly rejected ABBA’s claims, asserting that they have all the necessary licensing agreements to use the music at their events. “The campaign had a license to play ABBA music through our agreement with BMI and ASCAP,” a Trump spokesperson clarified in a statement to the Associated Press. This rebuttal underscores the complexity of music licensing and the potential for misunderstandings or misrepresentations by artists or their representatives.

As a result, ABBA and its representative has promptly requested the removal and deletion of such content. No request has been received; therefore, no permission or license has been granted,” the statement read.
