Several Taylor Swift tracks have been taken down from social media videos shared by the campaign of U.S. President Donald Trump and the White House. These entities had utilized two of the popular American singer’s songs within the last week.
Neither the White House nor a representative for Swift has promptly replied to requests for comments.
While Swift has not recently addressed Trump directly, she did endorse his Democratic opponent, then Vice-President Kamala Harris, in 2024. During the 2020 election, Swift expressed on social media her opposition to Trump being the president.
Trump has frequently criticized Swift. Following her endorsement of Harris, the Republican leader declared on social media, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” He also mentioned last year, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?'”
Various artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, have urged the Trump administration not to use their songs.
