Abba star Ulvaeus indignantly: Trump abuses our music!

Stockholm, Schweden - Stockholm-In a surprising statement, ABBA legend Björn Ulvaeus has made it clear that he strictly rejected the use of Abba music at Donald Trump campaign events. "I don't like that at all!", The 79-year-old told the Swedish broadcaster SVT. Ulvaeus emphasizes that the band has never agreed to use their iconic melodies in a political context. "It's terrible!" He added, and left no doubt that Abba's music should not be misused for political purposes.

But not only the rejection is remarkable. Ulvaeus also finds the situation extremely amusing. He refers to the hit "The Winner Takes It All", which deals with loss and pain. "The song describes someone who has lost and stands as a loser," he explains. With a smile undertone, he questions whether Trump understood the meaning of the song. "So he could not have paid attention to the lyrics," the musician speculates.

reactions to Trump's musical use

During the election campaign, Trump had repeatedly used ABBA songs and music videos, which already led to an outcry with the fans and the music label Universal. Both the label and ABBA itself had asked to stop these practices immediately. Despite these claims, Trump's campaign team claimed that they had the right to play ABBA music publicly. However, Ulvaeus has expressed his doubts about this legal basis and remains skeptical about the demands of the campaign team.
