Taylor Swift and Politics: Amidst Donald Trump’s AI Drama, Major Democratic National Convention and the Singer Get Clarity

Published 08/19/2024, 10:25 PM EDT

Taylor Swift has always been outspoken about her political views. From baking "Biden 2020" cookies to rallying her followers to vote blue, the pop star has made her endorsement of the Democratic Party and Joe Biden as clear as day. And given her star power, there is no doubt that she can sway the 2024 US presidential elections and its electoral landscape. On the other hand, Donald Trump, who is evidently not in Swift’s favor, has recently tried to start a 'Swifties for Trump' movement, which did not have much of a foundation.

Seeing Taylor Swift’s involvement in the presidential elections, fans now wonder if she will take the stage at the Democratic National Convention to back Democratic Party politician, Kamala Harris, who is ready to go toe-to-toe with former President, Donald Trump.

Will Taylor Swift be present at the DNC to support the VP?

Vice President Kamala Harris has now taken over from Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate and will give her acceptance speech on Thursday. While several high-profile guests will be present on this historic day, Taylor Swift’s profile might be a bit too high, which could potentially "overshadow everything," a DNC insider revealed to Deadline. “No one would remember a word the Vice President said in her acceptance speech,” said the insider, should Swift be present at the Democratic National Convention, let alone performing.

Taylor Swift has only one more show on the European portion of her Eras Tour before she heads back to the US. However, it is unlikely she will attend the DNC, especially since she has not endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate this election. That does not mean she is backing Donald Trump, despite the former president trying his best to spread some wild rumors about her support on social media.

Taylor Swift is no stranger to the horrors of AI, and Donald Trump has yet again faced her off with the same challenge. On Sunday night, Trump shared a series of images on Truth Social that appeared to show Taylor Swift fans sporting "Swifties for Trump" T-shirts, which was surprising given the 'Cruel Summer' singer has always had a strong stand against the Republican politician. While two of the images featured a real Trump supporter, most of the women shown were not real.

At least 15 of them were AI-generated, according to reports. The images Trump posted were originally shared on X by some very popular pro-Trump accounts. Nonetheless, even though Swift is keeping her political cards close to her chest this election, it is clear that having the pop sensation in their corner would be a huge win for any party.
