Someone else penned: “’But she’s rich so it doesn’t matter’ You are making AI of her [sic] body and sexually harassing her it’s not ok no matter how rich anyone is its disgusting and should be illegal.”

“No matter your opinion on Taylor, there is no excuse EVER to create and share such violating, demoralizing, and predatory AI images of her. Our poor girl has done nothing to deserve this. It’s disgusting and dangerous, not even just for celebs.”

Thankfully, the hashtag seems to be working and people who have shared the horrifying pictures are being suspended from the platform after being reported, as well as the content they shared being taken down.

Taylor ‘might take legal action’

Tay Tay is also said to be “furious” about the AI images that were posted to X, a source claims. It has been reported she’s so unhappy the 34-year-old is considering legal advice.

A source told MailOnline: “Whether or not legal action will be taken is being decided, but there is one thing that is clear: these fake AI-generated images are abusive, offensive, exploitative, and done without Taylor’s consent and/or knowledge. 

“Taylor’s circle of family and friends are furious, as are her fans, obviously. The door needs to be shut on this. Legislation needs to be passed to prevent this, and laws must be enacted.

Celebrity Tidbit and GRV Media have approached Taylor Swift’s representatives for comment.
