Swedish pop legends Abba have voiced their discontent after their iconic tracks were played at a recent rally for former President Donald Trump. The group's timeless hits, including "The Winner Takes It All," "Money, Money, Money," and "Dancing Queen," were used as part of the soundtrack for a campaign event held in Minnesota in July. This unexpected use of their music at a political rally has prompted a swift reaction from the band and their record label, Universal Music. In a statement provided to Reuters, the label confirmed that they, along with the members of Abba, were unaware of the unauthorized use of their songs at Trump’s events. They expressed their dismay, stating that they had taken steps to ensure that the music was removed from all such events, underscoring the band's desire to keep their artistry free from political affiliations that do not align with their values. The situation highlights an ongoing concern among artists regarding the appropriation of their music for political purposes without consent. Abba, known for their catchy melodies and lyrical themes of love and heartbreak, has always maintained a focus on universal themes rather than political ones. Their concern reflects a broader sentiment in the music industry, where many artists seek to assert control over how their work is utilized in public spaces, particularly in contexts that may not resonate with their personal beliefs or brand. This incident is not the first time musicians have expressed discomfort with their music being used in political campaigns. Various artists from diverse genres have previously made headlines for disapproving of their songs being associated with certain candidates or political agendas, underscoring the complex interplay between art and politics. As the 2024 presidential race heats up, it remains to be seen how other artists will react to the use of their work in similar contexts. For Abba, their music continues to evoke joy and nostalgia for fans worldwide, and their request to disassociate from political events serves as a reminder that the world of music is deeply intertwined with personal and societal values.
