Swift Team Mutes 10 Songs on Trump, White House TikToks
3 articles · Updated · Paste Magazine · Aug 11
Summary
At least 10 Taylor Swift songs were removed over the weekend from TikTok posts by Team Trump and the White House after months of unauthorized use.
One muted post had paired Swift’s “august” with an AI-like clip of Donald and Melania Trump and a caption celebrating August and Trump’s presidency; the audio was later replaced.
Other affected posts included a parody of Swift’s 2012 album “Red” that recast song titles around Republican themes and the Biden-Harris administration.
The takedowns extend a broader pattern: Noah Kahan also had music removed from official Trump-account videos after saying he would never approve its use, while Trump and Swift have clashed since her 2024 Harris endorsement.
