INSIDE a CELEBRITY DEEPFAKE: How I Made TAYLOR SWIFT 'Endorse' My Book (Educational Demo)
In this video, Perry Carpenter breaks-down the tools, methodology, and the WHY behind each step in how he created a deepfake of Taylor Swift to endorse his book.
This is an important behind the scenes look at how easily deepfakes can be created using readily available AI tools. In this educational demonstration, Perry walks through the entire process of creating a synthetic celebrity endorsement - from generating realistic dialogue with LLMs to lip-syncing and video manipulation.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This video is meant to raise awareness about AI-enabled deception. The Taylor Swift deepfake shown was created solely for educational purposes and was never published or distributed. ⚠️
Topics covered:
-- Using LLMs to generate celebrity-like dialogue
-- Voice synthesis and lip-syncing techniques

-- Ethical considerations and responsible disclosure
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER ⚠️
This video is an educational demonstration only. No association with or endorsement by Taylor Swift is implied. While I demonstrate how deepfakes can be created using publicly available tools, these specific tools and services are used purely for demonstration purposes. Bad actors may use different methods and tools to achieve similar results. This content is specifically created for security awareness professionals, red teams, and organizations who need to understand these threats to better protect and educate their staff. Bad actors already know these techniques - my goal is to help defenders catch up and stay informed.
