Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong> fans were focused on what many believe is her wedding weekend<\/a> with Travis Kelce<\/a><\/strong>, but an unexpected White House post sent social media in a completely different direction.<\/p>\n Ahead of Independence Day, the White House shared two posts that have raised some eyebrows. One graphic was shared to Instagram<\/a> featuring President Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>on a version of Swift\u2019s Eras Tour poster, alongside the caption “It’s been a long time coming,\u201d (which is also a Swift lyric from the song \u201cMiss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince\u201d).<\/p>\n READ MORE: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Ditched Tradition With Their Unconventional Bridal Party<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The second was a TikTok<\/a> set to the same song featuring a countdown clock much like the one used at the opening of Swift\u2019s Eras Tour, which transitioned into moments throughout Trump\u2019s presidency and imagery from America\u2019s history. The caption read \u201cWelcome to America\u2019s eras tour \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8.\u201d<\/p>\n While much of the backlash was initially directed at the White House, some fans have turned their attention to Swift herself, wondering why the post remained online for over 18 hours when she has openly endorsed democratic candidates in the past.<\/p>\n \u201cOh I KNOW Taylor\u2019s gonna be pissed,\u201d one person wrote in the comments of the TikTok.<\/p>\n Another replied, \u201c\u2018Taylor\u2019s gonna be pissed\u2019 really? Where was she the 3 other times they used her music<\/a>? Hmm?\u201d<\/p>\n One user on Threads<\/a> wrote, \u201cNobody is saying she gave permission, but the fact that she hasn\u2019t denounced it, or that she hasn\u2019t sent her lawyers after it SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.\u201d<\/p>\n Many defended the pop star, noting that she\u2019s busy with her rumored wedding weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cGurl – she\u2019s in the middle of her wedding reception<\/a> and if you actually think she approves man you\u2019re deranged,\u201d another Threads user pointed out.<\/p>\n Another commented on TikTok, \u201cShe\u2019s getting married tomorrow, that\u2019s the only thing that should be on her mind .\u201d<\/p>\n After largely avoiding political endorsements early in her career, Swift publicly backed Democratic candidates in Tennessee’s 2018 midterm elections before endorsing Joe Biden<\/a><\/strong> and Kamala Harris<\/a><\/strong> in subsequent presidential races.<\/p>\n Speaking in her 2020 documentary Miss Americana, Swift explained why she ultimately decided to become more politically outspoken. “Back in the [2016] presidential election, I was in such a horrendous place that I wasn’t going to pop my head out,” she said. She later added, “I need to be on the right side of history.”<\/p>\n As of writing, both posts remain live, and neither Swift nor anyone on her behalf has spoken out.<\/p>\n Related: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Ditched Tradition With Their Unconventional Bridal Party<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Jul 3, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
