The "Fate of Ophelia" singer endorsed Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 presidential campaign. The news came after Trump hadshared AI-generated imagesthat claimed Swift and her many fans supported him in the election. This despite the fact that Swift had previously backed Trump's 2020 opponent Joe Biden.
The former star ofThe Apprenticespoke about the images, which hesaid he didn't generate, and the potential threat of Swift's team suing.
"I don't know anything about them other than somebody else generated them, I didn't generate them," he told Fox Business in a moment that the network's Grady Trimble shared on X. "Somebody came out, they said, 'Oh, look at this.' These were all made up by other people."

The politician didn't take Swift's choice well, and it prompted him to declare, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" on social media.
In May, Trump, 79, declared that the looks of Swift, 36, had diminished since he expressed his hatred.
"Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'" he asked his millions of followers on his own Truth Social.
Still, Kelce said ahead of the Super Bowl in 2025 that he was honored to have Trump attend his team's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"It's a great honor, no matter who the president is,"Kelce said. "I know I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life, you know? And having the president there — it's the best country in the world, so, it'll be pretty cool."
After Kelce and the Chiefs lost, Trump made fun of them at an event.
