Taylor Swift has yet to endorse any presidential candidate this election cycle. However, former President Donald Trump recently posted on his Truth Social account, claiming to accept the superstar's non-existent endorsement. Trump shared a carousel of images, some of which appear to be AI-generated. One of the manipulated photos depicts Swift as Uncle Sam with the text, 'Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump,' while others show fans wearing 'Swifties for Trump' T-shirts.
A representative for Swift has not responded to requests for comment regarding this matter. It is important to note that one of the posts shared by Trump is satire, featuring fake AI-generated photos of 'Swifties for Trump' in reference to a thwarted planned terrorist attack at Swift's Vienna concerts.
Swift's fans, known as Swifties, have become politically active this election cycle. Following President Joe Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, a group of Swift's fans formed 'Swifties for Kamala,' which is not officially affiliated with the singer. This group has mobilized Swift fans to support Harris and other Democratic candidates, amassing over 60,000 followers.
While there is no official 'Swifties for Trump' group, Swift does have conservative, pro-Trump fans who express their support for the former president on their individual social media accounts. Trump's campaign spokesman mentioned that 'Swifties for Trump' is a growing movement.
In the 2020 election, Swift endorsed Biden and Harris in their bid for the White House.
