- The official White House account attempted to troll Taylor Swift over the weekend during her highly publicized wedding to Travis Kelce.

- The so-called "America's Eras Tour" ripped off Swift's record-breaking tour to tell the country's story in historical chunks.

- The account also shared a doctored version of Swift and Kelce's Times Square wedding announcement that read, "Trump is your president."

"Trump Dergangement Syndrome" looks like a cold compared to whatever Donald Trump has against Taylor Swift.

Over the weekend, while the pop icon wed Travis Kelce, her footballer boyfriend of three years, Trump's official White House accounts launched a bizarre campaign across social media, appropriating imagery and lyrics from Swift's career to tell a stilted story of America's history.

Swift and Kelce's big wedding also coincided with the 250th anniversary of America's founding, which Trump has celebrated in his own way. But on Friday, as the couple tied the knot at Madison Square Garden in front of an estimated 1,000 of their closest friends and family members, the White House kicked off "America's Eras Tour" on Instagram, featuring images of Trump, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, the moon landing, Alfred Eisenstaedt's famous "V-J Day in Times Square," and more edited in the style of Swift's Eras Tour poster.

"It's been a long time coming" read the caption, a reference to the opening line of her 2019 song "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince," and the main motif behind the intro that played before each stop on the record-breaking Eras Tour.

More posts followed, purporting to chronicle the history of the United States in strange "eras," such as "The Founding Era." That post, captioned "America's greatest hits, one era at a time," featured AI-generated footage of revolutionary soldiers on horseback, and animated historical photos of George Washington and his pioneer compatriots.

More AI-indebted posts followed, such as "The Industrial Era," a black-and-white montage which many commenters likened to the visuals for Swift's 2020 album *Folklore. *Videos followed for "The Golden Era," "The American Era," which was set to the Queen song "Don't Stop Me Now," and "The Modern Era," which featured what many commenters pointed out was a *Speak Now*-style intro, was soundtracked to the Killers song "Mr. Brightside," included images from 2000s pop culture at the time, like *Shrek*, *High School Musical*, and even Swift herself.

Donald Trump posts A.I. images that falsely claim Taylor Swift endorsement

No one on team Swift has yet commented on the White House's blitz of posts.

* *has reached out to representatives for Swift and The White House for comment.

Trump has long maintained a complicated, often antagonistic relationship with Swift.

In 2012, he posted on the social media site formerly known as Twitter that he was "Glad to hear that [Taylor Swift] will be co-hosting the Grammy nominations special on 12.5. Taylor is terrific!" But two years into his first term as president, he snarked that he enjoys "Taylor's music about 25% less now" after she endorsed two Democratic candidates for elected office in Tennessee.

In 2024, he turned to AI to generate a false endorsement from Swift, and shared a cryptic post interpreted as Swift shade the following year after he was booed during Super Bowl 2025, which Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs competed in.
