Swift Fans Accuse 'The Life of a Showgirl' Promo Videos of AI Use as #SwiftiesAgainstAI Trends

Clips from a 12-city QR code campaign show visual anomalies that viewers say indicate AI generation.

Overview

  • A viral TikTok by @goojiepooj cataloged lighting mismatches, disappearing or flickering objects, and shifting fonts as signs of generative output.
  • Viewers highlighted the London clip’s blurring Ferris wheel spokes and a coat that appears to fuse two hangers into one as the camera moves.
  • The 12-city “Orange Door” QR trail led to short videos whose combined words formed the phrase, "You must remember everything but mostly this: the crowd is your king."
  • Newsweek reported that some clips were posted to YouTube reels associated with Swift’s account and later taken down, while versions remain on The Eras Tour account on X.
  • Neither Swift’s team nor Google has confirmed any AI use, as #SwiftiesAgainstAI trends and fans debate artistic ownership and environmental costs.
