Trump's attacks arranged Facebook posts in mid-May 2025 from accounts such as Rock N 'Roll Mania and Rock & Roll Universum, the claimed, Springsteen and Swift have come together in a performance in “Defiance” of his criticism. The contributions were specified:

When Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift entered the stage together, it wasn't just a duet – it was a statement.

The contribution about Rock & Roll Universe had more than 140,000 reactions and more than 7,000 comments at the time of this letter. In the comments for both contributions, the same accounts that are linked to articles on websites called Newchor360, and KARKPOST, which have automatically displayed us and have not diverted pages.

Swift and Springsteen have not put together a concert in response to Trump's criticism or for any other reason. The photos in the above article do not show a real concert, at the same time they were on stage, but the singers who appeared on separate occasions, including one of Swift, who appeared in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2023 and two of Springsteen in November 2022 and April 2023 as wrong.

A simple search for big newspapers and magazines showed that Springsteen and Swift did not meet after Trump's comments. If they had performed together as an act of the “defiance”, it would have made headlines of headlines. The claim came from a Facebook page that was known to publish false stories and a-generated pictures of famous musicians.

The articles about Newchor360 and Karkpost also did not provide video material of this so -called “performance”, which instead combine with various occasions with clips from Springsteen and Swift.

One of the clips came from Springsteen's concert of May 14, 2025 in Manchester, Great Britain. In it said Springsteen:

In my house, America, which I love, is the America that I have written about, which has been a beacon of hope and freedom for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treacherous administration. Tonight we ask everyone who thinks of democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, increase their voices against authoritarianism and to guide freedom!

The articles from Newchor360 and Karkpost were also connected to a Swift YouTube video that performed a cover of Springsteens “Dancing in the Dark”. The two artists have long admired for each other. As with Springsteen, Swift Trump has also criticized. Before the 2020 elections, she wrote about X: “After inspiring the fires of white dominance and racism in their entire presidency, they have the nerve to make moral superiority before threatening violence?” When the looting begins, does the shootout begin? “We will vote in November.”

On May 16, 2025, Trump wrote a post about the social calling in the truth of jumping steen “an intrusive, disgusting jerk” and a “dry chamber of a rocker (his skin is all remunerated)” and added that the rock star should hold his mouth until he penetrates the country again. In a separate contribution of May 16, he wrote: “Has anyone noticed that since I” hate Taylor Swift “, is she no longer” hot? “

On May 19, Trump Springsteen criticized again, this time for his support from Trump's democratic opponent in the 2024 elections, the former US vice president Kamala Harris: “How much did Kamala Harris Bruce Springsteen pay for his poor performance for his bad performance if he is a fan of her.

One thing that correctly reported the articles of Newchor360 and Karkpost was that the American union of the American Federation of Musicians was in view of Swift and Springsteen in view of Trump's conviction. The union wrote in a statement on May 16:

The American Federation of Musicians of the USA and Canada will not be silent because two of our members – Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift – are interpreted and personally attacked by the President of the United States.
