Taylor Swift songs removed from White House, Trump campaign posts
Some Taylor Swift songs have been removed from social media videos posted by President Donald Trump's campaign and the White House, which has used two of the American superstar's songs over the past week.
The White House and a representative for Swift did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Swift has not spoken recently about Trump, although she endorsed his Democratic rival, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, in 2024. During the 2020 campaign, Swift posted on social media that Trump was "WELL AWARE we do not want him as our president."
Trump has repeatedly criticized Swift. After she endorsed Harris, the Republican said on social media, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" Last year he wrote: "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she’s no longer "HOT?”
Dozens of artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, have called on the Trump administration not to use their songs.
The Trump campaign used two Swift songs over the last week on its TikTok page. One, playing on her lyrics, featured the caption: "Red . Red . Donald Trump. Everything Has Changed . Donald Trump. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Donald Trump. The Last Time ." It referenced famous songs by the pop star.
In June, Trump's campaign posted a video on the short-video platform with Swift's new "Toy Story 5" song "I Knew It, I Knew You." The short video was captioned "Nobody loves our country & the American People more than @President Donald J Trump." It showed him interacting with children at the White House, dancing at a UFC match and appearing at a rally.
