White House used Noah Kahan's 'American Cars' in Trump GM visit post; Kahan objects

The White House soundtracked an Instagram post about President Trump's visit to a General Motors test site in Michigan to Noah Kahan's 'American Cars.' Kahan objected in the comments: 'Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration.' Rolling Stone, reporting on 29 July 2026, said representatives for both parties did not immediately respond. No legal action has been announced.
