LOS ANGELES:- The audio has been removed from a video featuring Taylor Swift’s song “August,” which was posted on US President Donald Trump’s campaign TikTok account four days ago.

The video, posted on the official “@TeamTrump” TikTok account, showed Trump and Melania Trump standing on a balcony and looking out. It featured the caption: “The mood right now: Because it’s August and Donald Trump is your president.”

Its caption initially read, “I am absolutely certain that @TaylorSwift will be thrilled that we used her song! #taylorswift #maga #august”

Fans were surprised to discover that the song “August”—featured on Swift’s 2020 album ‘Folklore’—had been removed from videos. When viewing the post in the US, the following message appears: “The copyright owner has not made this sound available in your country.”
