"If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."

These manipulated photos misleadingly suggested that the pop superstar had thrown her support behind Trump, igniting significant outrage among Swifties.
"Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site.

"It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter."
"The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth," Taylor Swift added.
