Yes.

Yes, still.

Now, if you are trading commercially on the appearance similarity in a way which presents, either explicitly or implicitly on your images as Swift’s, then you open yourself up to right of publicity claims in some jurisdictions, and the same may be true of revenge porn laws in some jurisdiction, even without the context being commercial.

If you genuinely believe that my kosher, not-Swift deep fakes would ever legally survive -- regardless of context/provenance claims -- then I have a bridge to sell you.
