We’re one day in and Trump has already put even more people offside. And this time it has to do with the music selection at his Inaugural Freedom Ball.
I’m sure you remember Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” as the catchy theme song for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. It was the nifty little tune that had you secretly punching the air and singing it to yourself in the bathroom mirror.
Well it turns out an instrumental version of “Fight Song” was played by the Utah-based Piano Guys, at the Inaugural Ball on Friday night, without Platten’s permission.
“While I respect the office of the President and the peaceful transfer of power, I want to make clear that at no point did the Piano Guys ask for permission, nor did I or anyone on my team know of, approve or endorse their decision to play Fight Song tonight,” the singer-songwriter tweeted after witnessing the mashup of her song with “Amazing Grace”, at the Inaugural Ball.
