The White House and a representative for Swift did not immediately respond to requests for comment, Anadolu Agency reported.
The removals come despite Swift having previously endorsed Trump’s Democratic rival, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, during the 2024 presidential election. Swift has not recently made public comments about Trump.

Trump has repeatedly criticized the singer. After Swift endorsed Harris in 2024, Trump wrote on social media: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” He later questioned her popularity after making the remark.
The Trump campaign used two Swift songs during the past week on its TikTok account. One video referenced several of Swift’s well-known songs while pairing altered lyrics and titles with messages promoting Trump and criticizing the Biden-Harris administration.
Another video posted by the campaign in June used Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You,” a song from the soundtrack of “Toy Story 5.” The video showed Trump interacting with children at the White House, attending a UFC event and appearing at a campaign rally.
The use of Swift’s music is part of a broader pattern involving the Trump administration, which has featured popular songs in social media posts despite objections from some artists.
Artists including Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande have previously called on the administration not to use their music.
The White House also used Swift’s music in an April video showing the Artemis II crew meeting Trump. The video featured her song “High Infidelity.”
Another White House TikTok post in November featured “The Fate of Ophelia” from Swift’s album “The Life of a Showgirl,” alongside images of Trump, U.S. flags and national monuments.
That video generated widespread reaction online. A White House spokesperson later said the administration had created the post knowing that news organizations would amplify it.
Trump’s communications team has frequently used popular music alongside images of the president and his administration’s policies, including immigration enforcement, military operations and the arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
The latest removal of Swift’s songs adds another twist to the increasingly unusual relationship between the pop star’s music and Trump’s social media operation.
