Several Taylor Swift tracks have been deleted from social media videos shared by the campaign of U.S. President Donald Trump and the White House, which had utilized two of the singer’s songs in the past week.
Requests for comment from the White House and a spokesperson for Swift were not immediately responded to.
Swift has not recently addressed Trump directly, but she did endorse his Democratic opponent, then Vice-President Kamala Harris, in 2024. During the 2020 election, Swift took to social media to express her disapproval of Trump as president.
Trump has been critical of Swift, particularly after she endorsed Harris, expressing his dislike for her on social media. He has made derogatory comments about her appearance as well.
Multiple artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, have urged the Trump administration not to use their music.
