Taylor Swift songs removed from Trump and White House videos

Trump, in turn, has criticized Swift several times. After the singer declared support for Harris, he wrote on social media: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" Last year, he again attacked the artist by publishing: "Has anyone noticed that since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT', she is no longer 'HOT'?" Dozens of artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, have already asked the Trump administration not to use their music. Last week, the Trump campaign used two Swift songs on its TikTok page. One of the publications, which made references to the artist's song titles, had the caption "Red (Donald Trump's Version)", alluding to the album "Red (Taylor's Version)". The content associated Swift song titles with political themes and the president himself. Among the references were: “Everything Has Changed” (“Everything has changed”) — related to changes in the southern border of the United States; “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” — associated with the Biden-Harris administration; "The Last Time" — linked to the use of an automatic pen to sign presidential documents.

The post was captioned: "No one loves our country and the American people more than President Donald J Trump." The video showed Trump interacting with children at the White House, dancing during a UFC event and attending a rally. It was the third time in recent months that the Trump administration or its campaign used a song by the multi-Grammy-winning singer in social media posts. In April, the White House shared a video of the Artemis II mission team meeting with Trump, held the day before. The publication used "High Infidelity", by Swift, and highlighted an excerpt of the lyrics that references the date of April 29. In November, the White House also published a video on TikTok with "The Fate of Ophelia", from the album "The Life of a Showgirl", released the previous month. The content brought together images of the United States flag, monuments and several photos of Trump, including the photograph taken when he was booked by the police in 2023. The publication caused a wide repercussion on social media. At the time, a White House spokesperson told press outlets that the video had been produced because the government knew that the media "would amplify these videos with so much emotion." Trump's communications team, which maintains a strong presence on social media, has also used popular songs in videos about different government actions, including the immigration repression policy, United States military operations against Iran and the arrest of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro.
