<\/a><\/p>\nOne of the images in Trump\u2019s post\u2014of a woman in a white \u201cSwifties for Trump\u201d T-shirt\u2014is not fake. One image showed Jenna Piwowarczyk wearing the homemade T-shirt to a Trump rally in Racine, Wisconsin, in June. Piwowarczyk went on to explain her decision to start the movement in a YouTube video.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy focusing more on the AI photos than on the REAL person in the photos that Trump shared, I think the media are missing an opportunity to recognize that, of all the millions of Taylor Swift fans, of course there will be many who support Trump and conservative values and also love her music. We exist. We are real,\u201d Piwowarczyk wrote in a statement shared by Wisconsin Right Now, a Wisconsin-focused news platform, on X.<\/p>\n
There is also evidence of an online \u201cSwifties for Trump\u201d movement. In a TikTok video posted by user @trendyandspendy, a woman can be seen posing in a bright pink MAGA hat.<\/p>\n
In an emailed statement to Newsweek Monday night, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote, \u201cSwifties for Trump is a massive movement that grows bigger every single day. While [Democratic nominee] Kamala Harris is guilty as sin for all the hurt she has caused every American.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica Silbey, a professor at Boston University School of Law and an intellectual property and constitutional law expert, told Billboard Monday that Trump\u2019s fake endorsement post likely violates Swift\u2019s right of publicity, which controls how your name, image and likeness are used by others.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone enjoys a right of publicity,\u201d Silbey told Billboard. \u201cThis kind of use\u2014being made to say and seen as believing things you don\u2019t\u2014is at the core of the right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sibley also told Billboard that Swift could look to sue Trump or his campaign for defamation over claims that the false presidential endorsement harmed her reputation.<\/p>\n
Last month, a bi-partisan NO FAKES Act was introduced in the Senate that aims to protect individuals\u2019 voices and likenesses from AI-generated replicas. The act would \u201chold individuals or companies liable for damages for producing, hosting, or sharing a digital replica of an individual performing in an audiovisual work, image, or sound recording that the individual never actually appeared in or otherwise approved\u2014including digital replicas created by generative artificial intelligence (AI), according to a press release on Democratic Senator Chris Coons\u2019 website.<\/p>\n
In addition, 10 states, including Swift\u2019s home state of Tennessee, have enacted legislation to regulate deepfakes, which could give her additional room to sue Trump or his campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
