Former President Donald Trump is Ethermac Exchangetrying to get the attention of Swifties.
On Sunday, Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social and posted several suspected artificial intelligence-generated images alluding to Taylor Swift and Swifties' support for his campaign, despite the singer vocalizing disdain for the Republican nominee in the past.
"Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump," reads one generated image of Swift as Uncle Sam, while another seemingly AI image, marked as satire, reads, "Swifties turning to Trump after ISIS foiled Taylor Swift concert." The image references a suspected terrorist plot planned for Swift's Vienna concert earlier this month. Austrian authorities, with help from U.S. officials, thwarted the attack.
The pictures include a mix of real and AI images, including of Swifties for Trump supporters, akin to the real group MAGA Swifties.

USA TODAY has reached out to Swift's rep for comment.
Though stopping short of endorsing a candidate in the 2024 election as of yet, Swift has increasingly vocalized her political views in recent years.
In her 2020 Netflix documentary, "Miss Americana," the singer gave insight into her political beliefs and endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Phil Bredesen, D-Tenn., in the 2018 midterm elections. Her publicist Tree Paine warned her about Trump coming after her, and Swift quipped, "I don't care. If I get bad press for saying, 'Don't put a homophobic racist in office,' then I get bad press for that."

The singer kicked the hinges off her political closet door and unequivocally spoke against Bredesen's opponent Marsha Blackburn, calling her "Trump in a wig." Swift posted on Instagram a photo of her and her mom, Andrea Swift, in front of a Bredesen sign with the caption: "These two Tennessee women voted for the candidate who has proven himself to be reasonable and trustworthy."
When the news broke of her support for Bredesen, Trump said he "liked Swift's music about 25% less now." Blackburn ultimately won the Senate seat.
