Taylor Swift Endorses Kamala Harris In Response To Fake AI Trump Endorsement

After tonight's ABC presidential debate, Taylor Swift announced her support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election after AI-generated images falsely depicted her endorsing Donald Trump. 'Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,' Swift wrote in an Instagram post. 'It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.' The Verge reports: Her post references an incident in late August, in which Trump shared a collection of images to Truth Social intended to show support for his presidential campaign. Some of the photos depict 'Swifties for Trump,' and another obviously AI-generated image shows Swift herself in an Uncle Sam-type image with text reading, 'Taylor wants YOU to vote for Donald Trump.' The former president captioned the post, 'I accept!'

This wasn't the first time AI images of Swift were circulated on social media. Earlier this year, nonconsensual sexualized images of her made using AI were shared on X. That incident prompted the White House to call for legislation to 'deal' with the issue.
