By Samantha Putterman • August 30, 2024 Although Swift hasn’t responded publicly to the post, that hasn’t stopped social media users from sharing a doctored screenshot from X purporting to show her commenting. "Great! I’ll be happy to take Vivian and give her all the love and respect she deserves," read a screenshot shared in a Sept. 12 Threads post on the 34-year-old singer-songwriter’s purported reply. The post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.) No such post appears on Swift’s X account, with the most recent update, a post she shared June 22, 2024, wishing Prince William a happy birthday. PolitiFact found no evidence of a response to Musk being shared on any of Swift’s other social media accounts, including Threads, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. A similar fake response from Travis Kelce, Swift's boyfriend and a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, was ruled False by PolitiFact. The "Vivian" in the fake Swift post seemingly refers to Vivian Wilson, Musk's transgender daughter, whom the tech CEO said was dead to him after being "killed by the woke mind virus" following her transition. Wilson reacted to Musk's post on Threads, calling it "heinous incel nonsense." "I don't really have anything to add to it, it's just abhorrent," she said. "It's disgusting, it's belittling and incredibly sexist." There is no record of Swift responding publicly to Musk’s social media post, and we rate False the claim that she’s offered to raise his 20-year-old daughter. Read About Our Process
