On January 25, the New York Post reported that photos created using deepfakes – synthetic media that have been digitally manipulated to replace one person’s portrait with another’s – show Taylor Swift in various sexually explicit positions during a Kansas City Chiefs game, following the “Country Music Princess’s” newly public relationship with football player Travis Kelce.

It is currently unclear who created the sensitive photos as well as who was the first to share them on platform X (Twitter). As of the morning of January 25 (US time), the keyword “Taylor Swift AI” has become a trend on the famous social networking site, with more than 58,000 posts.

This makes Swifties (Taylor Swift’s fan community) upset when their idol is used as entertainment. They shared a series of articles calling for justice and protection of the Safe & Sound singer :

“How is this not called sexual assault? We’re talking about a woman’s body/face being used for purposes she would likely never allow or feel comfortable with. Why is there no law to prevent this behavior?

“When I saw AI photos of Taylor Swift, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Those pictures are disgusting.”

“Protect Taylor Swift and stop sharing AI porn photos. The people who created them are sick.”

Besides, some people believe that although Taylor Swift’s case is wrong, it partly awakens people to the downside of artificial intelligence.

“I think we should be happy that Taylor Swift accidentally brought public attention to the dangers created by AI. It’s sad that it took a long time for people to pay attention to this situation.
