Taylor Swift again had a snippet of her song removed from a video posted by the White House's official TikTok profile: the audio of 'I Bet You Think About Me' was muted a few hours after publication.

The post carried the caption "We know you think about us 🤭" and, according to the platform, the audio stopped playing in that specific video, although it remains available in other clips and as a sound on TikTok.

Repeat removal: another song was removed days earlier

The episode is part of a recent sequence: days before, on August 8, Swift removed the song "August" from a video published by the Team Trump TikTok account. Subsequently, the singer also muted other tracks used in older videos from that same account.

Pattern among pro-Trump accounts and similar cases

Profiles linked to Trump have been using popular songs in provocative videos; the practice has already led to removals of audio from other artists — for example, a clip that used Bad Bunny's track was also silenced days after publication.

Current status and response

So far, Taylor Swift has not publicly commented on the latest removals. The videos and audio remain accessible elsewhere on TikTok, but the excerpts used in the White House posts were muted in that specific content.
