“So just found out an Olympic figure skater used one of my songs without permission for their routine. It aired all over the world … what? Is that usual practice for the Olympics?” McKinnon posted to X after the competition Sunday.
By Monday night, the tweet had gone viral, with more than 15.6 million views.
