Donald Trump would like his followers to believe that pop music megastar Taylor Swift advocates voting red. But that may just be in his wildest dreams.
“I accept!” the former President posted on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday, along with a collage of images from the internet—including some apparently generated by artificial intelligence—showing the TIME Person of the Year dressed as Uncle Sam and saying “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump” as well as numerous Swift fans expressing their support for the Republican presidential nominee

Taylor Swift has not officially endorsed any candidate in the 2024 election, though she previously backed the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020 and has criticized Trump for “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism” and for defunding the U.S. Postal Service in 2020, which she described as choosing to “blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans’ lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power.”
TIME has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment on a potential Swift endorsement, as the Democratic Party kicks off its convention this week in Chicago, where a number of celebrities are expected to speak and perform in support of the Harris-Walz campaign.
