Since being named "Person of the Year 2023" by Time magazine, pop singer Taylor Swift (Mildew) is now in full swing in the United States, and her romance with rugby star Travis Kells has made her status among American celebrities even more indestructible. The British media Daily Star even reported that the superstar is influential enough to influence the US election and could cause problems for presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The Daily Star quoted communications consultant James Haggerty as saying that the 34-year-old "has influenced pop culture, sports and the economy across the United States."
James explains, "Celebrities are becoming more influential in elections, and their own influence is growing, so in today's information world, it's the voices of celebrities that really resonate." ”
The expert also cited former US President Donald Trump as an example, further saying, "In a world where a reality TV star can become president, maybe even twice, it all makes perfect sense." ”
And a survey conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies found that there will be about 8 million new voters in this year's U.S. election, and many of the 41 million Gen Z voters have been influenced by celebrities and social media.
While 55 percent said they were neutral and would not waver, 18 percent of voters were "more likely" or "significantly more likely" to vote for a mildew-backed presidential candidate, the report said.
As for which team Mildew chooses, she reportedly vowed to kick Trump out of the White House when she voted in the 2020 election. The singer made her attitude clear on Twitter at the time, writing, "We're going to knock you (Trump) out in the November vote." ”
Although he did not publicly confirm who he voted for, with the successful inauguration of Democrat Joe Biden, perhaps the answer to the question has already been made.
However, there are many people who are popular. Recently, Mildew has also been embroiled in an AI scandal that has even alarmed the U.S. Congress, Congressman Tom Kean Jr. There are also calls for safeguards to be put in place to counter this "worrying trend".
According to the Daily Mail, Mildew is currently considering legal action against the source of the false photos, and her fans and even the White House have called for legislative action to address the growing problem.
On January 31, local time, the four senators included Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, Senior Congressman Lindsey Graham (Lindsey Graham), Republican Senator Josh Hawley (Josh Hawley) of Missouri, and Senator Amy Klobuchar, Republican of Minnesota A protest bill has been introduced to protect victims who have been victimized by false images and videos.
According to reports, the bill would allow "victims of apparently false images and videos generated through artificial intelligence and other technologies to file a civil lawsuit against anyone who makes, possesses the images, and intends to disseminate those images, or, in some cases, receives deepfake images without the victim's consent."
