Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris for president during the presidential debate last night in an Instagram post, citing AI generated images of her that faked an endorsement for Donald Trump as the reason why she felt the need to speak up.
“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 a caption of a photo of herself holding Benjamin Button, one of her three cats. “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. I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.”
Last month, Trump posted images on his social media platform, Truth Social, showing AI-generated images of women wearing “Swifties for Trump” t-shirts and Swift in an Uncle Sam-style outfit, with the text “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.” Trump captioned his post, “I accept!”
