A TikTok video that included Taylor Swift‘s song “August” posted to the account for Donald Trump‘s campaign four days ago has now had the sound removed.
The caption on the TikTok video reads, “I’m sure @Taylor Swift is going to be super excited we used her song! #taylorswift #maga #august.” The video shows Donald and Melania Trump standing on a balcony watching fireworks with the text, “Mood because it’s August and Donald Trump is your president.”
Variety has reached out to representatives for Swift and Trump for comment.
The @TeamTrump TikTok account, which has 14 million followers, was set up ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. It has continued to post videos regularly since Trump was elected for a second term.
A Team Trump video that included Swift’s song “Father Figure,” posted Nov. 6, 2025, also has had the song removed. However, one posted a day ago with a version of Swift’s “Red” as of this writing still has the audio track available.
