Team Trump Posts 2nd Taylor Swift TikTok, Tying 'Red' to Republicans
3 articles · Updated · Deadline · Aug 8
Summary
A new White House TikTok used Taylor Swift’s “Red” with text saying she “wrote a whole album about the color of the Republican Party,” extending Team Trump’s taunting of the singer.
The post followed the removal of Swift’s “august” from an earlier Trump video after the account had mocked her with a note saying she would be “super excited” they used her song.
TikTok later showed a notice that “the copyright owner hasn’t made this sound available in your country,” and Swift fans celebrated in the comments, saying she had the audio pulled.
The exchange revives a feud that had cooled after Trump, angered by Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, publicly offered good wishes for Swift and Travis Kelce last year.
