Yahoo Lifestyle Taylor Swift Finally Addressed Those Images Of Her 'Endorsing' Trump
Taylor Swift addressed the AI generated images of her “endorsing” Donald Trump that had been circulating online in recent weeks while actually endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” she said Tuesday in her endorsement post on Instagram.
“It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth,” she said, adding that she will be voting for Harris and Tim Walz in November.
Last month, the former president shared screenshots on Truth Social from social media accounts of women wearing “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts, which appeared to be AI-generated. Another AI photo depicted Swift dressed as Uncle Sam with text that read, “Taylor wants YOU to VOTE for Donald Trump.”
“I accept!” Trump wrote on Truth Social in his post with screenshots of the “endorsements.”
Swift had not addressed the AI endorsements until Tuesday, when she officially announced she plans to vote for the Harris-Walz ticket. The pop star had previously criticized Trump, including his handling of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Swift had endorsed Joe Biden for president over Trump in the 2020 election.
