Taylor Swift's Twitter account gets hacked
Taylor Swift's social accounts were hacked this week -- but not to worry, everything is under control. And no, there's no nude pics floating around, Swift says.
The 25-year-old singer wrote about the incident on Tumblr: "My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords. Never a dull moment."
Whoever got ahold of Swift's Twitter account posted a tweet about followig someone who claims to be the "leader" of Lizard Squad. The hackers also claimed to have nude photos of the pop star, which they would release for a small payment in Bitcoin, reports The Verge. Swift's Instagram account was hacked, too.
Swift took to Twitter later to tell her 51 million-plus fans that there are no real nude photos of her online -- so don't believe everything you see:
Swift seemed to be in good spirits about the whole thing, even referencing her hit "Shake It Off" in one tweet:
Last summer, several celebrities were victims of a major hacking endeavor, which resulted in nude images surfacing online.
