Taylor Swift said on Tuesday that she plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in November\u2019s presidential election \u2014 and that AI-generated images circulating of herself pushed her in part to make her support public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cRecently I was made aware that AI of \u2018me\u2019 falsely endorsing Donald Trump\u2019s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,\u201d Swift wrote in an Instagram post<\/a>. \u201cIt brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Her post references an incident in late August<\/a>, in which Trump shared a collection of images to Truth Social intended to show support for his presidential campaign. Some of the photos depict \u201cSwifties for Trump,\u201d and another obviously AI-generated image shows Swift herself in an Uncle Sam-type image with text reading, \u201cTaylor wants YOU to vote for Donald Trump.\u201d The former president captioned the post<\/a>, \u201cI accept!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In her endorsement post, Swift also mentioned LGBTQ rights, reproductive care, and IVF as specific issues she cares about. She also directed fans to her Instagram story, where she added a link to register to vote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
