The White House and Donald Trump's campaign team have scrubbed Taylor Swift's music from their social media videos. This move comes after Trump's vocal dislike for the pop superstar, particularly after she endorsed his rival, Kamala Harris, during the 2024 election cycle.
I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT
During the 2020 campaign, Swift publicly stated her opposition to Trump's presidency. Following her endorsement of Harris, Trump reportedly posted furious messages on social media, including "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT." He also questioned her public image, asking if she was still "SEXY" after he made his feelings known.
This isn't the first time Trump's campaign has used Swift's music. In June, they posted a clip featuring her new song for "Toy Story 5," "I Knew It, I Knew You," with a caption praising Trump's love for America. This was the third such post, which had previously drawn requests from other artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, for the Trump administration to stop using their songs.
Has anyone noticed that since I said โI HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,โ she is no longer โSEXYโ?
The campaign has also creatively used Swift's song titles to make political points, ironically referencing her albums and songs like "Red" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" to comment on border policy and the Biden-Harris administration.
Nobody loves our country and the American people more than President Donald J. Trump
