Trump shares AI-generated image of Taylor Swift endorsing him for President
Los Angeles: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred controversy by posting an AI-generated image of pop icon Taylor Swift seemingly endorsing him for the upcoming November election. The image, which appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account, depicted Swift in patriotic colors with the caption, "Taylor Swift Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump."
Although Swift has a history of supporting Democratic candidates, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020, she has not publicly endorsed any candidate in the 2024 race. Trump’s post also included images of women wearing "Swifties for Trump" shirts and a satirical article suggesting that Swift’s fans are now supporting Trump after an ISIS-inspired attack was thwarted at one of her concerts.
Critics quickly pointed out that many of the images shared by Trump were deepfakes, raising concerns about the potential for misinformation in the election. Consumer advocacy groups and Swift’s fans have condemned the post as a misuse of AI technology that could have damaging consequences.
The Trump campaign defended the post, calling the "Swifties for Trump" movement "massive" and growing daily. However, Swift’s team has not commented on the incident.

B'luru woman files civil suit seeking ₹62 lakhs after alleged harassment by housing society members
Bengaluru: A 22-year-old woman in Bengaluru has made headlines after launching legal action against members of her housing society. She claimed trespassing, harassment, and intimidation at a private meeting at her apartment.
The incident was posted by the woman in detail in a series of posts on Reddit. It reportedly took place on a Saturday night when five of her friends visited her home. She stated that the gathering was quiet, with no music or party, and involved only cooking and conversation.
According to her account, a society member knocked on her door and objected to what he assumed was a gathering of tenants, allegedly stating that “bachelors are not allowed.” The woman claimed that she told him that she was the owner of the flat before closing the door. Soon after, four to five men entered her living room without permission, accusing her and her friends of consuming alcohol and drugs, and demanding that she leave the flat by the next day.

The woman said her friends intervened and forced the men out of the house. When members of the society contacted the police, the situation escalated. She claimed that the police requested her to prove ownership of the property, which she refused, claiming there was no disturbance and that the men had no right to enter her home. She also stated that CCTV cameras put in her living room captured the entire episode.
In a subsequent post, the woman said she served legal notices to the housing society and the individuals involved, accusing them of trespass, harassment and assault. She claimed the CCTV footage was shown to the builder and the society chairman, following which the accused board members were removed from their positions and fined ₹20,000 each.
She further stated that she had filed a civil suit seeking ₹62 lakh in compensation. She also demanded a permanent injunction restraining the accused from contacting her in the future. According to her lawyer, while full compensation may be unlikely, even partial damages would be significant.
The posts quickly went viral and received strong reactions on social media. Many users praised her decision to pursue legal remedies. Few others asserted that housing society members had no authority to enter a resident’s home without consent.
