Taylor Swift Pulls Music From Trump's TikToks After Unauthorized Use
The video used Swift’s 2021 vault track and was muted within hours, continuing a pattern of Trump-linked posts that use her music.
- On Wednesday, the official White House TikTok account posted a video of Donald Trump featuring Taylor Swift's 2021 track "I Bet You Think About Me," which was muted within hours of posting.
- Swift previously removed her song "August" from a Team Trump TikTok post on Aug. 8, escalating friction between the artist and Trump-affiliated accounts over unauthorized music use.
- The administration's social media strategy relies on popular music to frame Trump in a positive light; this tactic has become a core communication method since Trump took office during his second term.
- Swift has not issued a statement about the removals, mirroring Bad Bunny's silence after the White House employed his track "La Mudanza" in a video.
- Since the Bad Bunny incident, Trump-affiliated social media accounts have avoided using the Puerto Rican superstar's music, suggesting the contentious tactic may face diminishing returns with other artists.
