Former President Donald Trump is continuing to show his wildest dreams, sharing a series of images created using artificial intelligence on social media that show Taylor Swift and her fans supporting him.
In the images, fans can be seen wearing T-shirts that read “Swifties for Trump,” while others depict a parody of the iconic “Uncle Sam” poster with Swift’s face and a tagline that says “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.”
Trump shared the photos on his Truth Social page, writing, “I accept!”
Two of the images shared by the former president did show real women who support Trump, but most of those depicted in the photos were not real.
The images Trump shared were also first posted on X by two pro-Trump accounts that are heavily followed. In a post on X, the account acknowledged that Trump’s photos were AI-generated.
While Swift has not come out and endorsed either candidate at this time, she did support Trump’s opponent in the 2020 election.
“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,” Swift wrote on X in May 2020.
Despite the pop star remaining quiet about who she will be voting for this election, it hasn’t stopped conspiracy theories from popping up involving her.
During the Superbowl, one theory said that the game would be “scripted” for her boyfriend, Chief’s tight end Travis Kelce, to win so she could go on stage and endorse President Biden.
The conspiracy grew so large that a February poll from Monmouth University found that a third of Republicans thought she was involved in a covert government effort to help Joe Biden win reelection.
The poll also found that, at the time, 46% of respondents were familiar with and had heard of the conspiracy, though only 18% of all adults believed it to be true. Among Republicans, that number grew to 32%.
“The supposed Taylor Swift PsyOp conspiracy has legs among a decent number of Trump supporters,” Patrick Murray, the director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement earlier this year. “Even many who hadn’t heard about it before we polled them accept the idea as credible.”
