Taylor Swift Gets Her Songs Muted On Donald Trump’s Troll TikToks
The TikTok account Team Trump was launched by Donald Trump's campaign in late July 2024 and has used audio of Taylor Swift tracks, among other popular songs, since at least last year. Now Swift's team appears to have finally taken action. The post Taylor Swift Gets Her Songs Muted On Donald Trump’s Troll TikToks appeared first on Stereogum .
Donald Trump's TikTok account, Team Trump, has been using Taylor Swift's songs in its videos since at least last year. Recently, Swift's team took action when the account posted an AI-looking clip of Donald and Melania Trump watching fireworks with music from Swift's "Folklore" track "August." The caption on the video was mocking, and Swift was not pleased.
On Friday, the audio was muted. The account subsequently used audio from a live version of "Red" in a post parodying Swift's album of the same name. This comes after a long-standing contentious relationship between Trump and Swift, including Trump sharing AI-generated images suggesting Swift had endorsed him for president and Trump responding to Swift's comment that she planned to vote for Kamala Harris by calling her "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"
In addition to Swift, other popular artists like Noah Kahan have had their songs muted on Team Trump's posts, with the latter responding by using the withheld audio in their own videos.
