The Republican presidential candidate posted the message "I accept!" alongside the images, which were taken from other social media accounts. Many appear to have been created using artificial intelligence.

The post sparked a backlash among Swift's fans, known as Swifties, who accused Trump of spreading misinformation.

The singer has not endorsed a candidate in the 2024 election but backed the Democrats in 2020 and criticised Trump while he was president.

One of the photos shared by Trump depicted Swift fans wearing t-shirts that read: "Swifties for Trump".
