Former President Donald Trump has shared a series of AI-generated photos depicting a fake presidential endorsement from Taylor Swift.
Trump posted the images on Truth Social on Sunday afternoon.
One of the pictures shows Swift in an Uncle Sam outfit with the caption “Taylor wants YOU to VOTE for DONALD TRUMP.”
The former president captioned the photos with “I accept!”
Other images in the post show individuals wearing shirts that say “Swifties for Trump,” falsely claiming that Swifties are supporting Trump after a foiled terror plot affected Swift’s shows in Austria.
The images were all screenshots from other social media accounts.

Swift has not endorsed any candidate for the 2024 presidential election but publicly supported the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020.
In a 2020 interview with V Magazine, Swift stated, “I will proudly vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”
In the same year, Swift criticized Trump on Twitter for his response to protests over George Floyd’s killing.
Swift continues to be a target of AI-generated content, including deepfakes falsely portraying her support for Trump.

Trump has criticized the use of AI in creating fake images, making unfounded claims about his opponent Vice President Kamala Harris. He alleged that Harris created fake images of crowds at her speeches, calling it “ELECTION INTERFERENCE.”
A poll conducted this year revealed that a majority of Americans believe fake news is a problem in the presidential election, with half reporting encountering fake election news.
