Swedish supergroup ABBA has asked Donald Trump to stop using their music at campaign rallies, but the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign says it has permission.
“ABBA has recently discovered the unauthorized use of their music and videos at a Trump event through videos that appeared online,” said a statement to The Associated Press from the band, whose hits include “Waterloo,” “The Winner Takes It All” and “Money, Money, Money.”
“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.”
Trending on Billboard
A spokesman for the Trump campaign said it had obtained a license. “The campaign had a license to play ABBA music through our agreement with BMI and ASCAP,” the spokesperson told the AP.
ABBA joins a long list of performers who’ve objected to Trump using their songs. Ahead of the 2020 election, that included Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, Phil Collins, Pharrell, John Fogerty, Neil Young, Eddy Grant, Panic! at the Disco, R.E.M. and Guns N’ Roses.
This cycle, Celine Dion has asked the candidate to stop using “My Heart Will Go On” and Beyoncé blocked Trump from using her song “Freedom” in a campaign video. In 2016, Adele asked Trump to quit playing her songs at political rallies.
Campaigns don’t need an artist’s express permission to play their songs at rallies as long as the political organization or the venue has gotten what’s known as a blanket license from the performing rights organizations ASCAP and BMI.
Swedish daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet said its reporter in July attended a Trump rally in Minnesota where “The Winner Takes it All” was played. Universal Music in Sweden said videos had surfaced of ABBA’s music being played at at least one Trump event.
ABBA, who have scored 20 songs in the Billboard Hot 100, mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, released a comeback album, “Voyage,” in 2021.

In case you haven’t heard, Super Bowl winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is headed to the big screen. Adam Sandler confirmed last week that Kelce will have an unspecified role in the upcoming sequel to the comedian’s iconic 1996 sports comedy Happy Gilmore.
And on Wednesday (August 28), Kelce and his other brother, New Heights podcast co-star and retired Super Bowl champ Jason Kelce, teased the footballer’s cameo by recreating one of the iconic scenes from the golf goof. In the clip, Travis, 34, is on a golf course getting ready to haul off on a tee shot in run-up Happy fashion. “Hey Happy,” Travis says as Jason responds off screen with a quote from Sandler’s title character, “You too good for your home?”
Travis then takes a quick step-up to address the ball with maximum effort as the shot cuts to a scene from the original movie of the ball zooming through the air for way too long over a neighborhood before doinking an unsuspecting homeowner on the head as he shakes his fist, shouting, “you boys are gonna pay for that!”

After getting properly beaned and stumbling about, Jason — whose head is superimposed on the moving company worker played by actor Will Sasso in the original movie — shouts, “You hit that guy!” Then, with Travis’ head plopped onto Happy’s movie body, he shrugs and says, “He shouldn’ta been standing there.”
Last week during a visit to the Tonight Show, Sandler confirmed that Kelce would have some role in the anticipated sequel. “Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said of the gig that Kelce has publicly dreamed out. “He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.”
Kelce seemed to manifest the cameo in May on New Heights — which just scored a major nine-figure new distribution deal — when he said he was a “huge fan of the Sandman” and would do “anything” to get a role in the film.
Speaking to the brothers on New Heights this week, Sandler opened up about how the role came together. “The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis!… We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it literally like, six months ago,” Sandler said. “We were like, ‘Imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be.’” Travis also said he’s been working on the patented way Gilmore addresses the ball, promising that he thinks he’s “got the swing down” since going out to practice after seeing Sandler on the Tonight Show.
“The scene you’re doing is with so many great golfers,” Sandler teased. “It’s gonna be amazing. You’re gonna be funny as hell.”
Watch the clip and Sandler’s New Heights chat below.

Johnson, a longtime fan of Wrangler, personally chose the fabrics, patterns and details featured in the collection which are designed to be worn anywhere from the farmhouse to the stage and beyond.
“I put a lot of time into this collection. This is a shirt I designed specifically for you,” the Grammy winner shared in a statement on the Wrangler website.
Johnson is the latest country singer to partner with Wrangler joining fellow country stars Lainey Wilson and George Strait. Speaking of Wilson, Johnson teased a possible collaboration with the “Heart Like a Truck” singer during a recent interview.
“I’m going duck hunting with her boyfriend Duck [Devlin “Duck” Hodges]. I guess that’s how he got his name, because he’s really into hunting,” he explained. “I heard Loretta Lynn’s ‘Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.’ I called Lainey and said we should record that song together, and she agreed. But we haven’t done it yet.”
As for his solo music, the country crooner is currently embarking on The Leather Tour in support of his 2023 album of the same name. The tour stops in South Dakota on Sept 6, Oklahoma on Sept. 13, Montana on Sept. 14 and Louisiana on Sept. 14. Get tickets here.
