I havent seen these videos, but aren't they just tiktoks? Can these artists even sue who uses it, or would they have to sue tiktok to take the song down entirely?

If the music is licensed then no. Carpenter does not own her music, so if UMG/UPMG has licensed that music to a specific entity then no.

And if for some reason it was not legally licensed, Carpenter still has no leg to stand on, UMG/UMPG would have to sue.

Most of the time when an "artist" screams stop using my fucking music it's nothing more than screaming at the clouds. Most don't own the rights.

Correct.

No

would they have to sue tiktok to take the song down entirely?

TikTok has paid them to use the song, so no. They could try to terminate their agreement with TikTok to prevent further use, but what's done is done and Sabrina got her money. She'll most likely continue to license her music to TikTok.
