Taylor Swift and Donald Trump’s feud is only escalating. The pop star has always maintained a politically neutral public face, as that is the most profitable choice to make. Nonetheless, the undertones of her Democratic leanings are not hard to decipher. Recently, amid the US election season, the former president invited trouble by sharing a false endorsement of Taylor Swift that was reportedly AI-generated.

Even though they were just some reshared social media posts, a Tennessee law still grants Taylor Swift the right to sue Trump for the false claims. However, the Republican Party politician now seems to be backtracking from the drama.

Donald Trump was recently asked by Fox Business Network journalist Grady Trimble if he was worried about getting sued by Taylor Swift. In response, Trump completely distanced himself from any direct involvement in the controversy and the AI-generated images, saying, “I don't know anything about them.” He added, “Somebody else generated them.” The politician then went on to highlight the dangers of AI and how he himself has been a victim of it. 

Donald Trump explained how people make AI videos of him speaking and endorsing other products. The recent scandal stemmed from Trump sharing AI-generated images of Swifties on his Truth Social with the caption “I accept!” The images were part of the ‘Swifties for Trump’ social media movement, hinting at the songstress’ support for the US politician. Nonetheless, many had already smelled something suspicious as soon as the trend emerged for one very strong reason.

The reason being, Taylor Swift, though not very politically vocal this year, has made her support clear for the Democratic Party.

Taylor Swift has had an undeniable impact on voter registration numbers. Last year, she urged her followers on social media to register to vote through Vote.org, and the group saw more than 35,000 new registrations that year. Therefore, for the Democratic Party, having support from someone like her is a big win. During the 2020 election, Swift showed her support for Joe Biden with a social media post saying, “Gonna be watching and supporting @KamalaHarris by yelling at the tv a lot”.  

Not just that, Taylor Swift even baked custom cookies for Joe Biden as part of her first presidential endorsement. She also spoke to V Magazine’s Thought Leaders Issue, hoping her vote for the Biden-Harris ticket would heal the nation. Even though she has not weighed in on the 2024 election yet and probably will not attend the Democratic National Convention either, her influence is sure to make a big impact on the US political scene this time around.
