Swifties Erupt in Fury After Donald Trump Uses AI to Fake Taylor Swift Endorsement

Donald Trump posted fake images of Taylor Swift and her fans endorsing him for president. A lot of Swifties — a feared group! — are mad.

    So sick of clickbait articles based on tweets. This article rehashes how Trump used AI/Swift imagery to imply Swiftie support, then quotes tweets from three Swift fans saying they didn’t like Trump. That’s it. That’s the whole ass article.

      But but they erupted by saying “Swifties for Trump’ obviously don’t know who Taylor Swift HATES” and “Oh i just know [Tree Paine] is writing up a GOOD lawsuit”. The absolute fury of the eruption came through when some random person said “Real Swifties hate Donald Trump btw”.

      An absolute and unmitigated ERUPTION of FURY!

    You know she wants to see Harris elected, but I think all the conservative attacks earlier in the year may have convinced her just stay out of the fray. Now she has to come out for Harris because staying silent after this fake endorsement will lead dumbasses to assume she really does endorse the turd.

      Of the stars that could afford to do this, it’s Swift. She has security as well as loyal fans, the type of fans that you know Trump wishes he had.

      She should fully come out and endorse Harris.

    To be clear, Swift has yet to endorse either candidate in the 2024 race, but backed the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020 via cookies.

    On today’s episode of “Is this slang I don’t know or literal” (I’m not clicking the Instagram link to find out.)

      She baked (or had baked) actual Biden/Harris themed cookies in 2020 that she showed on Instagram.

      Maybe most of them do, but still:

      It’s one thing to silently hate him. It’s another thing to form an army to destroy him publicly.

      Yes, but now they might hate him enough to register to vote and keep him out.
