Taylor Swift has developed a new way of walking- she’s been spotted hiking backwards through a forest in Los Angeles.

But the Bad Blood star hasn’t adopted some new fangled fitness regime instead she’s ditched front-facing walking in an effort to stop paparazzi getting snaps of her.

Dressed in a pair of green tight shorts and a vest, the 25-year-old navigated her way along the path with directions from a burly security guard.

More news!

She revealed her new tactic of avoiding photographs after fans on Tumblr speculated she was trying to prove she wasn’t drunk with the weird walk.

She posted: ‘I saw the guy with the camera and wasn’t in the mood so I hiked the whole trail backwards and my security told me when to make turns,’ she explained. ‘Ah, the tranquility of the great outdoors -TAYLORCANYOULOOKOVERHEREGIVEUSASMILEAREYOUDATING..’

The singer, who is dating Calvin Harris, added the hashtags ‘evading paps’ and ‘the spice of life’

This isn’t the first time she’s shown off this skill having walked backwards out of her garage earlier this year.

Maybe this was the inspiration for her song, Are We Out of The Woods?
