The Twitter handle – which has now been suspended – was asking for bitcoin donations to leak the pictures, writing: “will post Taylor Swift nudes when this btc wallet hits 3btc”.
Earlier, the hacker posted on the _Shake It Of_f star’s page asking her fans to follow him.
The 25-year-old’s people have been working on the hack with Taylor writing on her 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.”
Tay's team worked their magic and she was back online quickly and took the time to have a laugh at the hacker's expense.
Good on you, Taylor.
There’s currently no evidence to show that any of Taylor’s personal information has been taken by the hackers but we will keep you updated as this develops.
We have contacted Taylor’s reps for a comment.
