The performer Lady Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has had an alliance with President Joe Biden that predates his presidency.
On Oct. 31, 2020, Lady Gaga tweeted a video in which she endorsed Biden for president, and she performed the national anthem at Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021.
But now viral posts on Twitter and Instagram have used altered images and a fabricated Truth Social post to falsely claim that Lady Gaga is endorsing Donald Trump for president in 2024.
The posts show Lady Gaga standing behind a “Trump 2024″ sign, with the text: “I am proud to announce my endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President of the United States! America is struggling, and we need someone who knows what they’re doing to help us back up.”
The Instagram post has received more than 15,000 likes and the Twitter post has nearly 400,000 views.
The photo used in the posts, however, was taken at a rally for Biden in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Nov. 2, 2020, and it shows Lady Gaga at a podium with a “Biden-Harris” sign.
