(NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump shared AI-generated images on Truth Social that suggested pop star Taylor Swift fans support his 2024 presidential reelection campaign.
On Sunday, the former president shared several screenshots of AI-generated photos of women wearing “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts. The post also included a poster of Swift photoshopped in an Uncle Sam outfit next to the message “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.”
“I accept!” Trump captioned the post of the deepfakes.
The images were originally posted on X on Friday and Saturday by a pair of accounts that post conservative political content.
Additionally, Trump shared a video of a woman stating, “The Swifties are waking up,” following the terror plot that led to the cancellation of Swift’s concerts in Vienna, Austria.
Swift, who has notably criticized Trump in past years, has yet to endorse a presidential candidate for the 2024 election. However, she backed President Joe Biden in 2020. Before Biden dropped out of the race, Trump said in February that “there’s no way” Swift would endorse Biden’s reelection campaign.
Meanwhile, Swift fans are hopeful that she’ll appear at the Democratic National Convention this week in Chicago, CNN reported, although sources said that big name speakers are still being finalized.
