Some fans of the pop star have declared their support for former President Donald Trump ahead of November’s election.
Taylor Swift is one of the most famous people on the planet, and it’s been argued that her political endorsement could turn tides, so many in the United States are keenly watching the pop star in the run-up to November’s election.
In 2020, Swift backed the campaign of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and there is certainly no love lost between her and former President Donald Trump, whom she has accused of «stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism.»
On August 18, Donald Trump shared a series of images on Truth Social that suggested the country singer and a group of her followers called «Swifties for Trump» had endorsed him ahead of the presidential election on November 5. He wrote in the caption, «I accept!»
Many of the images, including one of the singer-songwriter dressed as Uncle Sam with the caption «Taylor Swift Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump», appear to have been generated by artificial intelligence.
On X, formerly Twitter, users expressed their outrage, with one calling Trump «pathetic» and another urging Swift to have her legal team respond to the «use of AI to spread misinformation.»
Newsweek contacted Taylor Swift’s representatives and Donald Trump’s campaign for comment by email.
The Republicans Against Trump X account posted a screenshot of Trump’s post, adding: «OMG. Trump is so desperate. He just posted AI-generated pictures about swifties for Trump.»
However, there is evidence that some of Swift’s fans support the prospect of returning Trump the White House.
