In the realm of fan-made content, a fascinating yet contentious topic has emerged: deepfakes. These AI-generated videos, often featuring celebrities or public figures, have sparked both creativity and controversy. When it comes to deepfakes of artists like Taylor Swift, fans can create and share content that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.

The fans protect the simulacrum so fiercely that they have forgotten there is a real woman named Taylor locked in a penthouse in New York, writing songs on a wooden guitar.
