Convicted felon and former US president Donald Trump has posted a series of AI-generated and doctored images of Taylor Swift and her fans endorsing his 2024 run for President, drawing the ire of actual Swifties. Posting to TruthSocial, Trump shared the images which included a number of women wearing ‘Swifties for Trump’ shirts, a tacky satirical headline about Swift’s concert that was cancelled due to a terrorist attack , and a completely generated photo of Swift that said: “Taylor Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump.” He captioned the images “I accept!” Donald Trump shares AI-generated images of Taylor Swift and her fans, falsely implying her endorsement.

The move has been met with both bewilderment and outrage by fans of Swift, many earnestly dumbfounded that Trump would even attempt to court the popstar or her fans to his camp through such means. Furthermore, Taylor Swift has a clear history of supporting the Democratic Party; she endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020, and tweeted out against the former POTUS at the time of the George Floyd protests . This fact has obviously irked Trump as he stays on the campaign trail, considering he suggested that it would be disloyal of Swift to endorse the Demo.
