Lara Trump faces mockery for using Taylor Swift's song in 'Vote for Trump' video
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: While Taylor Swift may support Kamala Harris for president, that hasn't stopped Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, from using a snippet of her music to promote her father-in-law's campaign.
On Wednesday, Lara, who is married to Trump's son Eric and serves as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, shared a video on Instagram that repurposes Swift’s song '22' into a campaign ad.
Lara Trump's campaign ad faces mockery
The video, captioned “Women for Trump,” features former ESPN sportscaster Sage Steele and showcases a group of women, including Lara Trump and Steele, dressed in pink and lip-syncing the lyrics, “I don’t know about you, but I’m voting for Donald Trump, baby!” The video received significant mockery on social media, with many users finding it cringeworthy.

Donald Trump faces backlash for implying Taylor Swift's endorsement
On a related note, Donald Trump has previously faced criticism for seemingly suggesting he had Taylor Swift's endorsement before she expressed her support for Kamala Harris's bid for president last month.
He had posted altered images on social media showing the singer and her fans supposedly supporting him, accompanied by the message "I accept!"
Many of the images appeared to have been generated using artificial intelligence, prompting backlash from Swift's fans, known as Swifties, who accused Trump of spreading misinformation.
One of the images shared by Trump shows fans in t-shirts reading "Swifties for Trump," with a satirical headline that claimed, "Swifties turning to Trump after ISIS foiled Taylor Swift concert."
This post came after Swift canceled three concerts in Vienna due to a potential security threat, leading to police arrests related to an alleged attack inspired by the Islamic State group. Another photo Trump shared mimicked a World War One US army recruiting poster, featuring Swift's face and the slogan "Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump."
