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

Swift has not endorsed any candidate for the 2024 election but publicly supported the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020.
During an interview with V Magazine in 2020, Swift stated, “I will proudly vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”
In 2020, Swift criticized Trump on Twitter for his response to protests following the police killing of George Floyd.
Swift has been the target of AI-generated images in the past, including fake endorsements of Trump.

Trump has criticized the use of AI in politics, accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of creating fake images of her crowds.
Despite Trump’s claims, photos and news coverage have disproved his allegations.
A poll by Ipsos and Project Liberty revealed that a majority of Americans believe fake news is a problem in the presidential election.
Half of American adults have encountered election news they believed to be fake or fabricated in the last year.
