Taylor Swift Nudes Coming After Social Media Hack?
Taylor Swift nudes are among the most coveted of The Fappening-style hackers’ dream targets. Though Taylor didn’t ever appear in that celebrity sexting debacle, she might be facing down such a release for the first time. That’s if two hackers with the handles @lizzard and @veriuser are to be believed. The pair took over Swift’s Twitter early Tuesday morning to try to cash in on some of Taylor’s 51.4 million followers — the fourth highest behind Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Barack Obama.
Instead of flying into a tearful, indignant rage, Swift seemed to be quite unshaken by the announcement. Or at least gave the appearance of it. Taylor acknowledged the hack by adapting her infectious line from “Shake It Off.”
Cause the hackers gonna hack, hack, hack, hack, hack…

Swift appears to be calling the hackers’ bluff. She says rumors that nude Taylor shots exist are false, and that there is no way that these two – who claim to hail from “The Lizard Squad” group possibly linked to the recent Facebook crash, according to BBC – have anything in the way of sexy photos to deliver of Swift.
PS any hackers saying they have ‘nudes’? Psssh you’d love that wouldn’t you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING.

Whether or not there really are nude shots of Taylor that are going to begin floating around the internet, many of Swift’s friends and fans jumped to her defense. Taylor tweeted special appreciation to Hayley Williams from Paramore for being the first one to clue her in on what was happening on Twitter while she was sleeping.
I’d like to acknowledge the MVP of the day, @yelyahwilliams, for being the first to text me about the hack this morning. #FriendshipGoals — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) January 27, 2015
The two Twitter accounts associated with the Swift nude social media hack have been shut down. That wasn’t before several Taylor fans shamelessly asked for the two hackers to add them while they temporarily wielded control over Swift’s account.

Others think that maybe Taylor Swift’s Twitter hack was the hands of Katy Perry. The two have had a long-simmering rivalry that Taylor is rumored to have sung about about on her new album on “Bad Blood.”
