Donald Trump has falsely claimed that Taylor Swift has endorsed him for the 2024 presidential election. On Truth Social, Trump posted doctored images suggesting Swift and her fans were supporting his campaign, including fake "Swifties for Trump" T-shirts and AI-generated photos. One image featured a satirical article alleging Swift's fans had turned to Trump following a canceled tour due to a terrorist threat. Another depicted Swift dressed as Uncle Sam with a pro-Trump message.
Swift has not responded to these claims and has not yet endorsed a candidate for the 2024 election. In the 2020 election, Swift supported Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, criticizing Trump on social media for his presidency's stance on racism and violence. This marked her first endorsement of a presidential candidate.
