Olivia Rodrigo told Dazed magazine in a new interview ahead of the release of her third studio album that she was “enraged” last fall when she was scrolling on her phone and discovered that Trump’s Department of Homeland Security was using her song “All-American Bitch” to promote ICE deportations.

“It was so deeply disturbing to see that propaganda, and the fact it was my song in there made me feel even more enraged,” Rodrigo said. “What they’re doing is so awful and barbaric and cruel. I am really sad to be in a country that thinks that’s okay.”
