Donald Trump has posted a fake social media image of pop superstar Taylor Swift asking people to vote for him in the election.
A Sunday entry by the Republican candidate on Truth Social showed Swift dressed in red, white and blue with a caption that said “Taylor Swift Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump.”
“I accept!” Trump wrote.
Swift has not publicly endorsed a candidate in the 2024 race but has supported Democrats in the past.
The singer backed President Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris in 2020. Swift also criticized Trump in a 2020 documentary.
Trump also posted photos of young women wearing “Swifties for Trump” shirts, and a satirical article with the headline “Swifties Turning to Trump After ISIS Foiled Taylor Swift Concert.”
Swift canceled three shows in Vienna this month after authorities foiled a planned attack. Local officials arrested a 19-year-old man inspired by Islamic State.
Several Swift fans and watchdog groups said many of the images posted by Trump appeared to be deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence.
Advocates in the music industry, Hollywood and Washington have been pushing for federal legislation and other measures to fight the explosion of fake AI images online.
Trump’s post was “yet another example of AI’s power to create misinformation,” consumer group Public Citizen said.
“The potential harms to our society that could result from such misinformation, including abuses of our elections,” the group added.
At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Swift fan Rebecca Goff handed out friendship bracelets, a common practice among the singer’s fans, at a Nevada Democratic Party breakfast.
