# Taylor Swift’s song removed from Trump team’s TikTok video 2026-08-08T08:01:31+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Taylor Swift's song 'august' has been removed from a TikTok video posted by the Team Trump account, after the post used the track with a caption that said: 'I'm sure @Taylor Swift is going to be super excited we used her song!' Fans noticed the audio had vanished by Friday evening, with a copyright notice appearing for US users. The removal follows a similar incident in November 2025 when a Trump team video using Swift's 'Father Figure' also went silent. It is unclear whether Swift or her camp requested the takedown, or if it is a licensing issue. Neither Swift's nor Trump's representatives have commented. The team's other videos using Swift's songs, including one with 'Red', remain intact. In September 2024, Trump said he 'hated' Swift after she endorsed Kamala Harris for president, and he had previously shared AI-generated images falsely suggesting her endorsement. ## Coverage - english.mathrubhumi.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: copyright, Donald Trump, social media, Taylor Swift, TikTok, US politics Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/taylor-swift-mutes-trump-tiktok-using-her-song-again/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
