Taylor Swift has not endorsed any presidential candidate in the current election cycle. However, former President Donald Trump has humorously accepted a non-existent endorsement from the superstar. Trump made this declaration on his Truth Social account, sharing AI-generated images that depict Swift endorsing him.
One of the manipulated photos shows Swift as Uncle Sam with a message urging people to vote for Trump. Other images feature fans wearing 'Swifties for Trump' T-shirts. It's important to note that some of these posts are satirical in nature, including references to a thwarted terrorist attack at one of Swift's concerts.
Swift's fan base, known as Swifties, has become politically active. Following President Joe Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, a group called 'Swifties for Kamala' was formed by fans to support Democratic candidates. While there is no official 'Swifties for Trump' group, individual fans have expressed their support for Trump on social media.
In the 2020 election, Swift endorsed Biden and Harris, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and representation for marginalized communities. Despite not endorsing Harris in the current election, Swift has been vocal about her support for Democratic causes.
In her documentary 'Miss Americana,' Swift expressed regret for not speaking out on political issues sooner. She has openly criticized Trump's policies and rhetoric, stating her commitment to standing against discrimination and injustice.
Trump's recent comments about Swift suggest he acknowledges her liberal views and unlikely support for him. Swifties have responded to this by urging Trump to 'stay away' from the singer.
