Fake nudes of Taylor Swift spread across social media, sparking outrage

The images, likely created by AI, spread rapidly across X and other social media platforms this week, with one image amassing over 45 million views. When X said they were working to take down the images, Swift's fan base took matters into their own hands, flooding the site with real images of the pop star along with the phrase "Protect Taylor Swift" to drown out the explicit content.
