ABBA Requests Trump to Cease Using Their Music at Campaign Rallies
Swedish supergroup ABBA has asked Donald Trump to stop using their music at campaign rallies, stating that no permission was granted. Despite the Trump campaign's claims of having a license, ABBA joins other artists like Beyoncé and Celine Dion in objecting to the unauthorized use of their work.
Swedish supergroup ABBA has formally asked former President Donald Trump to cease using their music at his campaign rallies. The band claims no permission was granted, despite the Trump campaign's assertion of having the necessary licenses.
A statement from ABBA to The Associated Press revealed their discovery of unauthorized use of their music and videos at a Trump event. The band's hits include classics like "Waterloo," "The Winner Takes It All," and "Money, Money, Money."
ABBA join a growing list of artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, and Beyoncé, who have objected to Trump's use of their music without explicit permission. Music licenses obtained through agreements with BMI and ASCAP typically cover such usage.
