Donald Trump has shared AI-generated posts on his social media platform Truth Social suggesting he has gained the support of Taylor Swift and her fans.
Trump last night shared posts with deepfaked images of women wearing shirts that read 'Swifties For Trump',as well as a poster of the singer dressed like Uncle Sam and urging her fans to vote for the GOP nominee.
'I accept,' the former president,78,wrote on the platform,though it is unclear if his comment is referring to the AI-generated crowd of 'Swifties' - the term used to described the popstar's fans - or the fake endorsement from Swift.
Swift,34,has yet to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election,but it is highly unlikely she will support Trump,whom she has previously taken aim at. She said she was 'completely blindsided' by his 2016 victory and ahead of the 2020 election vowed that 'we will vote you out in November'.
The Anti-Hero hitmaker is also suspected to be amongst the Hollywood A-listers who could appear at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago this week,CNN reported. Two shows remain in the London leg of her Eras Tour,but Swift theoretically could make it to Illinois for the final nights of the convention.

But the Republican presidential hopeful suspected the admiration is not mutual. He said: 'I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump.'
During Trump's interview for the book he also questioned whether Swift really is liberal despite her public endorsements in recent years.
'She is liberal,or is that just an act?' Trump asked. 'She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act?'
He added: 'It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.'
