Donald Trump’s campaign is being torn apart on social media after he released a “chilling” video featuring a song by an artist supporting his political rival.

“Team Trump” has a video on Instagram of Lara Trump – the former president’s daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee – political consultant Lynne Patton, sportswriter Sage Steele and other women, all wearing pink jackets, with Trump posted campaign logo.

The video begins with the group lip-syncing to Taylor Swift’s iconic hit “22”: “I don’t know about you, but I’m…” The song then cuts to the phrase, “Vote for Donald Trump, baby!” ”

“Women for Trump!” The caption of the video reads.

The short video is being torn apart on social media. Many are calling for Swift to sue for copyright infringement, and others are pointing out that Swift has supported Kamala Harris.

Former NBA player Rex Chapman reshared the video on X with the caption: “As my daughters would say… ‘cringe’.”

Others limited their criticism to even fewer words: “Barf,” one user wrote, while another wrote, “Eww.”

Many users are now calling on the musician to take legal action.

“Taylor Swift should sue,” said one X user.

“Hey @taylorswift13 – I think the term is ‘cease and desist,'” another user wrote.

Swift endorsed Harris for president after her debate against Trump last month. Shortly afterwards, the former president wrote on his Truth Social platform: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT.”

The music icon also criticized the viral AI-generated image of her supporting Trump – which the former president himself shared.

“It was recently brought to my attention that an AI was posted on his website showing that ‘I’ was falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s candidacy for president,” Swift wrote. “It really raised my fears about AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation.”

“I came to the conclusion that as a voter I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election,” she added. “The easiest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”

The Independent has reached out to Trump’s campaign and Swift’s representatives for comment.
