A TikTok video featuring Taylor Swift’s song August on Donald Trump’s campaign account has had its audio removed, drawing fresh attention to the singer’s complicated relationship with the US president and his political campaign. The video, which featured Donald and Melania Trump, used Swift’s track from her 2020 album Folklore. The development comes after several instances in which musicians have objected to their music being used in Trump-related political content. While the reason for the latest audio removal has not been publicly confirmed, the TikTok video now displays a copyright-related message for US viewers.
