On the final night of the Republican National Convention (RNC) after President Donald Trump concluded his speech, there was a fireworks display over the Washington Monument that spelled out ‘Trump 2020’. During the fireworks, Tori Kelly’s version of Leonard Cohen’s 'Hallelujah' was heard along with Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless the USA’. Cohen fans were miffed and vented their anger on Twitter.

Some users also questioned Kelly about the usage of the song. She replied on the micro-blogging site, saying, "Seeing messages about my version of 'Hallelujah'." All I know is neither myself nor my team received a request," as per Variety. But the tweet has now been deleted. Cohen had released 'Hallelujah' as part of his 1984 album ‘Various Positions’.
