Donald Trump has stirred controversy by sharing AI-generated images on his social media platform, Truth Social, suggesting that pop star Taylor Swift and her devoted followers, known as "Swifties," are supporting his presidential campaign. The former US president has posted altered photos featuring women in "Swifties For Trump" shirts and a poster of Swift dressed as Uncle Sam, urging her fans to vote for him.

Trump shared these manipulated images, which seem to have been created using AI technology and sourced from right-wing social media accounts known for spreading misinformation. Alongside the images, Trump posted a message that read, “I accept!” implying Swift’s endorsement.

However, Taylor Swift's representatives have firmly rejected Trump's claims. According to sources cited by the Daily Mail, Swift has made it clear that she does not endorse Trump’s presidential bid. "If she didn't support him last time, she's not going to support him now. He's clearly lost it. In more ways than one," the insider commented.

Despite Trump's efforts, only a few genuine images have surfaced, such as one of a young supporter, Jenna Piwowarczyk, wearing a "Swifties for Trump" shirt at a rally in Wisconsin. The concept of a widespread "Swifties for Trump" movement appears to be largely a jest rather than a serious political endorsement.

A recent Newsweek poll involving 1,500 voters suggests that Swift's influence could potentially impact the 2024 election. The survey found that 22% of Biden supporters from 2020 might switch to a Republican candidate if Swift endorsed Trump. Support for a Republican endorsed by Swift has increased by nine percentage points since January. Nevertheless, the majority of respondents—55%—believe that Swift’s endorsement would not sway their voting decision.

Taylor Swift, a known critic of Donald Trump, previously expressed her disapproval of his presidency. Before the 2020 election, she took to social media to condemn Trump, accusing him of fueling racism and threatening violence, and vowed to vote him out of office.
