Taylor Swift’s ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ Is Her Latest Song Removed From a Trump TikTok Post
The White House TikTok account affiliated with Donald Trump has posted another video, soundbedded with TayTay’s music. And that music has been quietly scrubbed.
On August 12, 2023, the White House's affiliated TikTok account with Donald Trump posted a video featuring clips of Trump engaging in various activities. The video's audio was Taylor Swift's "I Bet You Think About Me," a 2011 song written by Swift and Lori McKenna. The caption accompanying the video read, "We know you think about us," referencing the song's lyrics.
However, by Thursday, August 13, the sound had been muted from the TikTok post, though the song title remained tagged. "I Bet You Think About Me" was initially left off Swift's original Red album and later enjoyed a second life as a "From the Vault" recording with Chris Stapleton. The song debuted at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2021.
The latest instance of the White House trolling Swift involves the removal of her music from their TikTok posts, including "August" from her 2020 album Folklore, "Father Figure" from her 2025 album, and "The Fate of Ophelia" from her 2012 album Red. The White House's aggressive tactics seem to have escalated after Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, with Trump responding with personal attacks on social media.
