Taylor Swift buys the rights to www.taylorswift.porn
Taylor Swift, the ever-savvy businesswoman, has just made a slightly unexpected purchase in a new industry; porn.
But before fans of the squeaky-clean starlet start smashing their beloved copies of 1989, please, hear her out. Taylor’s simply snapped up her own dot-porn and dot-adult web addresses to ensure that nobody else does in the future.
That’s right, a host of new internet domains ending in .porn, .sucks and .adult will go on sale on the 1st June this year and so Taylor (along with Microsoft and several other big brands) is protecting herself against potential future trolls.
Because, let’s face it, haters are always gonna hate (hate, hate, hate, hate) and the internet's worst would be especially keen to grab an opportunity like this. Surely it’s better for everyone if Taylor Swift has control over www.taylorswift.sucks, rather than some crazy hacker types?
When the famous nude photo-leak of 2k14 happened, Taylor was one of several stars threatened by hackers claiming to have stolen her private pictures. Her response? ‘Any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Pssh, you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping, 'cause you got nothing.’
At least by controlling the rights to her own name, Taylor can carry on posting happy Insta-snappy photos of her cat, Olivia Benson, in peace.
