Several songs by Taylor Swift have been taken down from social media videos shared by U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign and the White House. These entities had utilized two of the popular American singer’s tracks in the past week.
Neither the White House nor a representative for Taylor Swift has responded to requests for comments at this time.
Although Taylor Swift has not recently addressed Donald Trump directly, she did endorse his Democratic opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, in 2024. During the 2020 election season, Swift made it clear on social media that she did not support Trump as the president.
Trump has been vocal in his criticism of Taylor Swift. Following her endorsement of Harris, the Republican leader expressed disdain for the pop star on social media, stating, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” He further commented, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?'”
Many artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, have urged the Trump administration not to use their music in any capacity.
