Some of Taylor Swift’s songs have been removed from videos posted on social media by Donald Trump’s campaign and the White House, silencing efforts to mock the singer. Notably, a video posted on August 3rd featuring the US president and first lady Melania Trump watching fireworks was shared on TikTok with Swift’s song "August." These removals followed rage-baiting posts linking Swift’s album "Red" to Republicans.

The actions mark a shift in the use of Swift’s music in political social media content associated with Trump and the White House.
