Donald Trump is at it again, and this time he’s shared AI-generated images that falsely suggest that he has Taylor Swift’s backing for the upcoming elections.
Last night, the former President shared a series of posts on his Truth Social account, including screenshots of AI images of Swifties wearing shirts with the slogan “Swifties For Trump”.
One of the images depicts a photoshopped picture of Swift dressed in an Uncle Sam-style outfit, with the text reading: “TAYLOR WANTS YOU TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP.”
He shared the collage of Swift fans, that’s clearly labelled “satire”, captioning with the words: “I accept!”
Additionally, Trump shared a fake news article that falsely claimed Swift’s fans are “turning to Trump” following the recent terror plot targeting her concerts in Vienna.
These moves to make his followers believe that the pop superstar is advocating to vote Trump have been viewed as ludicrous and a desperate bid for Trump to prop up his ailing campaign, with some fans clamouring for legal action.
Swift has not officially endorsed any candidate for president in the 2024 election.
She has broadly maintained a calculated silence over her political views, and has recently been criticised for her lack of comment over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
She had been rumored to be a Republican during the 2016 election cycle, before publicly sharing her political views for the first time when she endorsed two Democratic party candidates back in 2018 for the US mid-term elections.
“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country.”
She went on to support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020, taking aim at Trump in the wake of the George Floyd protests that same year.
Swift criticized Trump for “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism” and for defunding the US Postal Service in 2020, a move she described as choosing to “blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power.”
Earlier this month, a photo shared on Swift’s Instagram account triggered speculation that she was about to endorse Kamala Harris. However, this was easily debunked.
Trump also commented on Swift earlier this year.
In an interview with Variety editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh for his book, "Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass", he questioned whether the pop singer was actually a liberal.
“She is liberal, or

When Los Angeles–based designer Clare Vivier began decorating the 19th-century house she'd bought in her husband's hometown of Saint-Calais, in France's Loire Valley, she had a particular aesthetic in mind. “I love color and patterns but wanted something peaceful, so the intention was to create a dialogue between those two things,” she says. She wanted the house to have a blend of contemporary pieces, antiques, and textiles from heritage maisons to create a space that, much like her namesake handbag and fashion label, channeled both California fun and French sophistication. She also knew that she wanted her longtime friend Kate Berry, a designer and creative director, to help her make it happen.
April Gargiulo, the founder of the San Francisco-based beauty brand Vintner’s Daughter, first considered making a fragrance two years ago, when she connected with Loreto Remsing, a perfumer who’s also based in Northern California. Gargiulo and Remsing talked about how they might work together to bottle the landscape they both know well. Gargiulo’s creative prompt was “a magical liminal world between earth and sky, under the redwoods.” Remsing, Gargiulo says, “took this thing that was pretty esoteric and created something that was a perfect reflection of it.” Understory, a perfume oil with notes of violet, jasmine and moss, was released in 2022. This month, Vintner’s Daughter will debut Understory Vol. 2, which Gargiulo describes as a “new vintage” with subtle differences from its predecessor — the violet notes are stronger while the moss is softer in this iteration. The brand will release a limited run of 500 bottles of perfume oil, this time featuring illustrations by the artist MarSha Yi Robinson. “I love the idea of [Understory] being something that comes and goes, almost like scent itself,” Gargiulo says.
