Several Taylor Swift songs removed from Team Trump and White House TikTok posts
Multiple outlets report that several Taylor Swift tracks used in TikTok videos by President Trump’s campaign and some White House accounts were later stripped from those posts. The Guardian and Variety say affected videos featuring songs such as "August" and tracks from The Life of a Showgirl showed notices saying the music was unavailable; ABC News also reports users saw audio removed from Team Trump and official White House videos. Coverage frames the removals as music-rights or copyright actions tied to the accounts' use of Swift’s recordings. (The Guardian; Variety; ABC News).
