Khloe Kardashian or Taylor Swift?

Fans have resorted to playing 'Spot the Difference' between the two stars after the 38-year-old Kardashian sister shared some new photos on social media.

Taking to Instagram, the Good American co-founder, posted some glamorous shots from her recent Sorbet x Prada collaboration photoshoot but rather than keeping the attention on how amazing she looked, fans pointed out the alleged editing fail on the photos.

One picture, in particular, garnered a lot of negative attention for its intense photoshopping, with some even going as far as mistaking the reality TV star for Grammy-winning music artist, Taylor Swift.

Big yikes.

Have a look at the photo in question below:

It's clear that her 287 million followers were not impressed.

"I thought it was Taylor Swift lol," commented one user.

"Who tf is this," added another.

A third questioned their sanity, writing: "I just... I kno I’m not trippin tho..."

"They totally airbrushed you out of this photo."

If you're unaware of which Taylor Swift look people are referring to, it's most likely this one from September last year when she appeared at the Toronto International Film Festival for 'In Conversation With... Taylor Swift.'

I mean, it's nice to take inspiration from others, but this is just uncanny, right?

And some others pointed out that the vibe was also pretty similar to the 'All Too Well' singer's British Vogue Photoshoot.

Exhibit A:

In the wake of all the backlash, the youngest Kardashian sister spoke out, stating that it was her "bangs" that made her appear to look different.

"Fun fact: I wore clip on bangs for this shoot," she wrote on Instagram. "It was fun to give a different look and not be committed. I am surprised with how much I liked the bangs even though they changed the shape of my face. Would you ever get bangs?"

But it seems as though fans weren't convinced.

"No babe YOU changed the shape of your face," slammed this Instagram user.

"Millions of girls have body issues because of you and the lies your family perpetuate," another harshly added.

A third stated: "So many changes... for someone with a tv show that promotes loving yourself… it should be also practiced... just my point of view."

This user went as far as joking that the 38-year-old was still "appropriating" Swift - a pretty hilarious take if I do say so myself.

This isn't the first time the reality-star-turned-business-woman has been accused of photoshopping her pictures and getting more surgery.

Speculation around the star's cosmetic work has been a central theme of the past few years, but it became extremely prominent in 2022.

Khloe clapped back at the haters, reportedly responding in a comment (per UsWeekly): "I openly talk about my nose job and anyone who 'looks up' to me must know I’ve lost over 60 pounds over the years.

"So recently the only change is the bangs. I didn’t know I had to do a running list. Either way, attacking someone is sad in my opinion. Unprovoked is the saddest part.

"If you are offended or don’t like what you see, you simply don’t have to say anything. I hope you have a great first week of the new year. Thanks for making mine so jolly."

Taylor Swift is considering "taking legal action" following the circulation of explicit AI-generated images of herself on social media.

The controversy unfolded on X (formerly Twitter) when explicit deepfake images of the 34-year-old singer at a Kansas City Chiefs game began popping up.

Swift's frequent attendance at Chiefs games, particularly after publicly acknowledging her relationship with star player Travis Kelce, appears to have fueled this latest violation of privacy.

As reported by the Daily Mail, a source close to Swift commented on the situation, stating: "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."

"The Twitter account that posted them does not exist anymore," they continued. "It is shocking that the social media platform even let them be up to begin with. These images must be removed from everywhere they exist and should not be promoted by anyone.

"Taylor’s circle of family and friends are furious, as are her fans obviously. They have the right to be, and every woman should be. The door needs to be shut on this. Legislation needs to be passed to prevent this and laws must be enacted."

The issue is exacerbated by social media trolls reposting the images, prompting platforms like Meta to take action. A Meta spokesman told the Daily Mail: "This content violates our policies, and we’re removing it from our platforms and taking action against accounts that posted it."

In response to the circulating content, the hashtag "Protect Taylor Swift" quickly trended, showcasing the quick support of the singer by her fans. Swifties expressed outrage and disbelief at the explicit images, questioning the ethical and legal implications of creating and sharing such content.

Fans collectively condemned the creators of these deepfake images, labeling them "disgusting" and expressing concerns that such incidents could tarnish the reputation of AI technology.

Addressing the argument that Swift, as a celebrity, would be unharmed by such occurrences, one X user countered: "Claiming Taylor Swift is a billionaire doesn't excuse sharing inappropriate AI images of her. She's still a human being with feelings. Show respect."

Several states, including Texas, Minnesota, New York, Hawaii, and Georgia, have already made nonconsensual deepfake pornography illegal. Yet, incidents like these persist, as evidenced by recent cases in New Jersey and Florida high schools where deepfake images circulated, triggering police investigations.

In response to these growing concerns, US Representatives Joseph Morelle (D-NY) and Tom Kean (R-NJ) recently reintroduced the "Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act."

The proposed legislation aims to make the nonconsensual sharing of digitally altered pornographic images a federal crime, with penalties including jail time, fines, or both.

Taylor Swift fans - AKA Swifties - have united to defend the singer against a slew of lewd AI-generated deepfake images circulating on social media.

The controversy erupted on X (formerly Twitter) when explicit deepfake images of 34-year-old Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game began making rounds on the platform - a nod to her relationship with Travis Kelce.

These disturbing "deepfakes" have since highlighted the concerns about the misuse of AI technology and the potential harm it can cause, as well as led to people calling for legal action to be taken.

Overnight on Thursday (January 25), the hashtag "TaylorSwiftAI" began trending on X after users began sharing a number of images showing the 'Bad Blood' singer in provocative positions. It is not clear which accounts were the first to share the images.

Swifties expressed their outrage and disbelief at the explicit images and questioned the ethics and legality of creating and sharing such content.

One X user questioned: "Those Taylor Swift images need to be classified as a form of sexual assault, I think it is time lawmakers start creating laws to regulate AI before it's too late."

Fans united in condemning the creators of these deepfake images, labeling them "disgusting" and arguing that incidents like these could tarnish the reputation of AI technology.

Many supporters also argued against the narrative that Swift would be "fine" because she's a "billionaire celebrity".

"Claiming Taylor Swift is a billionaire doesn't excuse sharing inappropriate AI images of her. She's still a human being with feelings. Show respect," one X user tweeted.

Swift's publicist, Tree Paine, did not respond to The Post's request for a comment, but The Mirror has since reported that a source close to the singer has revealed that Taylor is "considering legal action" and that she and her loved ones are "furious" over the situation.

The order also called for enhanced oversight of AI technology used in various applications, the New York Post reports.

Several states, including Texas, Minnesota, New York, Hawaii, and Georgia, have made nonconsensual deepfake pornography illegal. However, these laws have not entirely prevented the circulation of AI-generated explicit content, as evidenced by incidents in high schools in New Jersey and Florida where deepfake images of female students were circulated by their male classmates and triggered a police probe.

In response to growing concerns, US Representatives Joseph Morelle (D-NY) and Tom Kean (R-NJ) recently reintroduced a bill known as the "Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act." This proposed legislation aims to make the nonconsensual sharing of digitally altered pornographic images a federal crime.

Penalties for offenders could include jail time, fines, or both. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, which will determine whether to pass it into law.

In addition to criminalizing the sharing of digitally altered intimate images, Morelle and Kean's bill would empower victims to pursue civil lawsuits against offenders, offering a comprehensive approach to address the issue.

Taylor Swift fans say that that singer is experiencing "every woman's worst nightmare" after graphic AI-generated images of the star were leaked online.

On Thursday (January 25), the hashtag 'TaylorSwiftAI' started trending on X (formerly Twitter) along with fake AI-generated images depicting the 'Bad Blood' singer in a number of graphic and sexually suggestive situations.

Many of the images showed Swift in red facepaint and/or in a football stadium - a lewd nod to her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.

At this time, it is not known for definite who created the images.

As reported by the Daily Mail, a source close to Swift commented on the situation, stating: "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."

"The Twitter account that posted them does not exist anymore," they continued. "It is shocking that the social media platform even let them be up to begin with. These images must be removed from everywhere they exist and should not be promoted by anyone.

"Taylor’s circle of family and friends are furious, as are her fans obviously. They have the right to be, and every woman should be. The door needs to be shut on this. Legislation needs to be passed to prevent this and laws must be enacted."

Shortly after the images went viral online, Swift's fans took to X to voice their support for the star - resulting in the phrase 'protect Taylor Swift' trending on the platform.

However, as well as voicing support, many social media users have also spoke out about the misuse of AI and how the 34-year-old singer was living "every woman's worst nightmare".

"Those taylor swift AI pictures are literally every woman's worst nightmare and the fact men [think] that it's okay to do it and they laughed about it makes it even crazier," one person tweeted.

Others also voiced their concerns about the evergrowing use and evolution of AI and how it can be misused to harm others.

"Taylor Swift's AI generated pics show how dangerous AI can be," one person wrote. "This serves as a reminder for individuals, especially girls, to exercise caution when sharing personal photos on social media platforms."

Another person added: "I feel so bad for Taylor Swift and the future of all women with these AI deepfakes. This s**t is harmful and dangerous."

And many others called for change. "Those Taylor Swift images need to be classified as a form of sexual assault, I think it is time lawmakers start creating laws to regulate AI before it's too late," one person wrote.

Taylor Swift's fans have come to her defense after critics slammed the singer's latest album cover.

The 35-year-old singer sparked both excitement and controversy after she announced her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

The new project features producers Max Martin, Shellback, and Swift herself, promising to deliver the same high-energy collaboration that has defined her past hits.

The album cover shows the 'Karma' songstress partially submerged in water, wearing a glittering diamonté brassiere adorned with intricate embellishments down her torso.

"My day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress," Swift explained on the podcast. "I wanted to glamorise all the different aspects of how that tour felt."

Despite the album's clear "showgirl" theme, the image quickly became the subject of online backlash. Many people targeted Swift's attire, calling it "inappropriate" and suggesting that she is not a suitable role model for young fans.

Some even accused Swift of trying to "bite" the style of other artists, with one fan claiming, "It's giving Britney's Circus," and another added: "She’s biting Chappell Roan," per Buzzfeed.

However, Swift’s devoted fanbase, affectionately known as Swifties, quickly rushed to her defense on social media platforms like Reddit. They called out the hypocrisy of parents who expect celebrities to act as role models.

“Celebrities are not meant to be your children's role models. Be a parent and explain to your child that adults have bodily autonomy,” one devoted fan wrote.

A second chimed in: "She is [a] 35-year-old woman... who is great businesswoman, amazing artist, and [a] seemingly kind person. Those are traits your child could look up to. She has also [the] right to pose however she likes, even if you don't like it."

A third user slammed: "Taylor has personally met hundreds of parents and their children that look up to her. She visited hospitals and gave nothing but kindness. She doesn't give a single f*** what some random people on the internet think of her."

"She's been in the business for... 20 years now? She knows she's got people who want to twist everything she does or says. She won't care," they concluded.

The album will feature a total of 12 tracks: The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite, Father Figure, Eldest Daughter, Ruin the Friendship, Actually Romantic, Wi$h Li$t, Wood, Cancelled!, Honey, and the title track 'The Life of a Showgirl' featuring Sabrina Carpenter.

Swifites will be able to explore the inspiration behind the album’s tracks when The Life of a Showgirl is released on October 3.
