# Taylor Swift songs vanish from Trump, White House social posts 2026-08-09T17:20:41+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Taylor Swift's music has been removed from several social media videos posted by US President Donald Trump's campaign and the White House, after her songs were used repeatedly in recent months. A TikTok video by the Team Trump account on August 3 featuring Swift's 2020 song "August" now plays without the track. Another campaign post that played on her album title "Red" has also gone silent, Entertainment Weekly reports. Dozens of artists, including Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter, have previously asked the Trump administration not to use their songs in social media posts. The removals follow a long-running political feud. Swift endorsed Trump's Democratic rival Kamala Harris in 2024 after Trump shared AI-generated images falsely portraying her as endorsing him. Trump responded by calling her "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" on social media and questioned whether she was still "HOT" in 2025. ## Coverage - ndtvprofit.com - ndtvprofit.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: copyright, Donald Trump, Music, social media, Taylor Swift, US politics Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-removes-taylor-swift-songs-from-posts-after-artist-backlash/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
