Taylor Swift has made it clear she does not back the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump, as she publicly pledged her support for former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris last September.
Since the recent election results which saw a significant win for Trump, Swift has stayed silent, leading fans to speculate about her views on the matter.
Recently, an AI-generated video that depicted Trump and Swift singing a parody of her hit song “Love Story” gained considerable attention. Titled “Trump Story,” the video was so popular that even the owner of X (previously Twitter) shared it with a laughing emoji.
This AI creation, first shared by user JonC Memes, amassed 17.6 million views, showcasing Trump playing guitar while Swift listens. In the video, they appear together at the White House, with an AI version of Swift at a Trump rally sporting the iconic red hat associated with the Make America Great Again movement.
Swift’s Political Involvement
Swift’s history of political activism is notable, as she has encouraged her fans to be active in civic matters.
Her endorsement of Harris on Instagram last September received significant media coverage, although it did not have the anticipated effect. Additionally, she addressed a misleading AI video that falsely portrayed her endorsing Trump.
“I recently learned about an AI-generated video of ‘me’ mistakenly endorsing Donald Trump‘s campaign. This raised my concerns regarding AI and misinformation, leading me to realize that I must clearly communicate my intentions for this election. The most effective way to combat falsehoods is by sharing the truth.”
“For the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, I will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I support @kamalaharris because she champions the rights and issues I believe in.”
