The two women with very similar names offer a snapshot of the different surrogate pools for Trump and Harris.
The courting of celebrity endorsements is a long-running tradition in presidential politics and one that Democrats generally win.
Swift criticized the fake posting, saying it was part of the reason she is backing Harris’ campaign.
Even as he downplayed Harris’ level of celebrity endorsements, Trump has tried to use people with celebrity status to appeal to specific voter blocs.
Shortly after Swift backed Harris, Trump said she would “probably pay a price” for the endorsement, and five days later on Truth Social he made his bluntest and most direct attack on Swift.
