Showbiz EXCLUSIVETaylor Swift breaks silence after Donald Trump shares AI generated images claiming singer is endorsing him for 2024 election

Taylor Swift has hit back at Donald Trump’s apparent acceptance of her ‘support’ in his race for the White House, with insiders claiming she believes the Republican has ‘lost it.’

The Presidential candidate, 78, shared AI-generated posts on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday night suggesting he has gained the support of the Grammy-winner, 34, and her fans, known as ‘Swifties.’

Trump wrote ‘I accept’ alongside deepfake images showing women wearing shirts emblazoned with ‘Swifties For Trump,’ as well as a poster of the singer dressed like Uncle Sam and urging her fans to vote for the GOP nominee.

Although she has yet to publicly endorse a candidate ahead of this year’s election, a source close to Swift confirmed, unsurprisingly, that she will not be supporting Trump.

‘If she didn’t support him last time, she’s not going to support him now,’ they told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘He’s clearly lost it. In more ways than one.’
It is unclear if Trump’s comment is referring to the AI-generated crowd of ‘Swifties’ or the fake endorsement from Swift.

Two of the photos in Trump’s post are reportedly legitimate, Wisconsin Right Now reported.

Jenna Piwowarczyk, a 19-year-old Trump supporter who is also a fan of the singer, did allegedly wear a ‘Swifties for Trump’ t-shirt during a campaign rally in Wisconsin.

However, there does not actually appear to be a huge ‘Swifties for Trump’ following, as depicted in the AI-generated photos, which were clearly labelled ‘satire.’

Trump later doubled down on the claim that he was gaining the support of Swifties, sharing a video of an apparent MAGA fan saying the ‘Swifties were waking up’ after a failed terror plot resulted in the cancellation of the Austrian leg of the Eras Tour. It is unclear if the video is authentic.

Swift has previously criticized the GOP nominee and vowed to ‘vote [him] out’ ahead of the 2020 election after being left ‘completely blindsided’ by his 2016 victory.

Ahead of his defeat of Hillary Clinton, Swift kept quiet on her political leanings leading some to suspect she was actually a secret Republican.

But during the 2018 midterms, she voiced strong support for Tennessee Democrats including Senate candidate Phil Bredesen and House candidate Jim Cooper.

She explained in an Instagram post: ‘In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.

‘I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country.’

In 2020, the Blank Space singer came out in full support of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

‘I will proudly vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in this year’s presidential election,’ she said. ‘Under their leadership, I believe America has a chance to start the healing process it so desperately needs,’ she said in an interview with V Magazine ahead of the election.’

She also tagged Trump in an X post blasting him: ‘After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? “When the looting starts the shooting starts”??? We will vote you out in November.’

In her documentary, Miss Americana, which came out in 2020, Swift addressed her decision to speak publicly about politics further saying: ‘I need to be on the right side of history.’

Swift has been a close ally of the LGBTQ community. She also slammed the United States Supreme Court after it overturned Roe v Wade ending the constitutional right to an abortion in 2022.

The Anti-Hero hitmaker is suspected to be among the Hollywood A-listers who could appear at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago this week, CNN reported, with rumors she could also perform.

The Swifties have mobilized to throw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris with the ‘@Swifties4Kamala’ X account already attracting 60,000 followers.

The Democratic National Committee has also already seemingly paid homage to Swift by announcing there will be stations where DNC attendees can make friendship bracelets – which are traded by Swifties at concerts and fan meet-ups.
The New York Times reported earlier this year that Joe Biden’s campaign had been actively seeking Swift’s endorsement.

Trump has previously questioned whether Swift is ‘legitimately liberal’ or if it’s all an act.

The former president discussed the megastar in an interview with Variety co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh for his book Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass which was released in June.

‘She is liberal, or is that just an act?’ Trump asked. ‘She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act?’

He added: ‘It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.’
