Donald Trump has posted a series of what appears to be AI-generated images on his Truth Social account falsely claiming that Taylor Swift has endorsed him for president.
On Sunday night, Trump shared several screenshots of X posts showing women wearing “Swifties for Trump” shirts. Several of the photos appear to have been doctored, and one screenshot is of a satire news article claiming that the cancellation of Swift’s shows in Vienna due to a thwarted terrorist plot led Swifties to turn to Trump. Another screenshot is of Taylor Swift photoshopped as Uncle Sam next to the message: “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.” Update: Two photos are real and from the same Swiftie.

Representatives for Swift did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
The pop star has yet to put her name behind a presidential candidate for the 2024 election, but endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and took aim at Trump in a tweet that year following his response to the George Floyd protests.
“After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’???” Swift wrote. “We will vote you out in November.”
Trump previously mused about Swift in Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh’s book “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass,” calling her “beautiful” but “liberal.”
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented,” he said. “I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!”
As the Democratic National Convention commences in Chicago this week, it is expected that Vice President Kamala Harris will accept the party’s nomination with the help of plenty of celebrity guests. Confirmed to host the event are Mindy Kaling, Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn and Ana Navarro, with other high-powered stars sure to appear throughout the event.
