Recently, former U.S. President Trump posted a series of content on his social media platform, which attracted widespread attention. He claimed his campaign had support from Taylor Swift fans and posted an AI-generated image to back it up. Meanwhile, Trump also lashed out at US Vice President Kamala Harris and suggested she was a communist. The remarks spread quickly on social media, sparking heated debate.
According to Forbes, on Sunday, former President Trump posted a series of content on his social platform Truth Social, claiming that his campaign was winning the support of Taylor Swift fans. In addition to the photos, he also launched a blistering attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning her political record and suggesting she was a communist.
Among the content Trump shared were AI-generated images showing women wearing "Swifties For Trump" T-shirts, as well as a photo of a real woman wearing a similar T-shirt. "I accept it," Trump wrote in the post, which included an AI-generated poster of Taylor Swift dressed as Uncle Sam urging her fans to vote for Trump.
Hours later, Trump pushed further to connect with Swift fans, sharing a video of a woman talking about how "Swift fans are waking up," a reference to Austria's death over terror plots Said this when the concert was cancelled.
Over the weekend, Trump also posted on Truth Social and the X platform suggesting Harris was a communist. He shared a New York Post cover criticizing the vice president's economic policies, calling them "Camu Doctrine." The day before, Trump also shared an AI-generated image on the X platform showing Harris speaking at a crowd in Chicago, with the sickle and hammer symbols appearing in the background.
It should be pointed out that Taylor Swift has not yet publicly supported any candidate, although she supported Joe Biden in 2020. Just at the beginning of the month, a photo posted by Swift on her account sparked speculation that she might support Harris because the silhouette of a woman in the photo resembled that of the vice president. However, the speculation was quickly proven to be a misunderstanding and the woman in question was actually one of Swift's backup dancers.
Meanwhile, some Swift fans have formed a group called "Swifties for Kamala," which has attracted more than 40,000 followers on Instagram and 60,000 fans on the X platform. Last week, the group told the Guardian that more than 5,000 people had signed up for a Zoom launch meeting on August 27, the day after their announcement. In 2019, Swift expressed criticism of Trump and his presidency, arguing that "we are a democracy — or at least it should be — where you can express different opinions and dissent and debate. I think he really thought that was the case." It’s a dictatorship.”
There has been speculation in the media that Taylor Swift or Beyoncé will perform at this week's Democratic National Convention, although this has not yet been confirmed. Meanwhile, Swift will perform at London's Wembley Arena on Monday and Tuesday.
