President Donald Trump's campaign and the White House have been using songs by pop star Taylor Swift in their social media videos, despite Trump's history of criticizing the artist. The White House has used two of Swift's songs in recent weeks, while the Trump campaign featured her music on its TikTok page last week. One of the videos, featuring Swift's "Red (Donald Trump’s Version)," referenced lyrics about Trump and his policies.
In April, a White House video used Swift's "High Infidelity" during a montage of Trump at various events. Another TikTok video posted in November used "The Fate of Ophelia" from Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" album. The videos often paired images of Trump with lyrics from Swift's songs. Swift, who has not spoken about her relationship with Trump recently, did endorse his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, in 2024.
In 2020, Swift had criticized Trump on social media, calling him "WELL AWARE we do not want him as our president." Trump has also criticized Swift, stating he "HATED" her in response to her endorsement of Harris. Other artists have called for the Trump administration to stop using their music.
