Rebekah Werner Taylor Swift at the launch of her new perfume, "Wonderstruck". (NYC) This weekend, Celebrity Jihad posted a picture of a curly-haired blonde girl lying topless across a bed; doesnt sound too strange, as this thing seems to happen quite often. However, what Jihad did that set the 20-year old singer off was claim that it was a leaked photo of Taylor Swift. EW.com reported that shortly after the picture was posted, Swifts legal team sent him a letter asking that the photo be taken down and insisting that it wasnt Taylor. To the singers dismay, the photo still remains up at Celebrity Jihad. The next step will most likely be a formal lawsuit. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Swift is currently in the middle of her North American "Speak Now" tour and has issued no comment regarding the photo. This event follows a similar pattern to the Scarlett Johannson and Christina Aguilera hacker. However, the difference is the naked photo of Swift doesnt actually

Posted at 02:33 PM ET, 10/31/2011 Taylor Swift. (Royce DeGrie - GETTY IMAGES) Sweet-faced country singer Taylor Swift is the latest starlet to face rumors of a nude photo leak. The utterly bizarre site Celebrity Jihad posted a picture of a topless blonde woman with the headline, Taylor Swift Topless Private Pic Leaked? The post is still live on the site. The singers team sent a letter to the site requesting the removal of the photo, which does not appear to be authentic, TMZ reports . The letter reportedly said the post contains false pornographic images and false news. Celebrity Jihad is now offering to take the photo off if Swift agrees to convert to Islam. She will also be required to sacrifice a goat and devour its entrails, according to the site , which calls itself a satirical website that publishes fiction as well as factual information. This has been a dangerous digital year for Hollywood starlets. Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis, along with about 50 others, had compromi

When news spread that there were alleged nude photos of country singer Taylor Swift on the internet, fans were surprised that the seemingly wholesome singer would be involved in such a scandal. Swifts camp, however, has stated that the leaked photos are not of Swift, and have threatened to sue the website, Celeb Jihad, for trademark infringement if the "leaked" photo is not taken down. Taylor Swift PHOTOS: MTV VMAs Greatest Feuds Many weighed in on Twitter about the alleged photos of Swift, 21. Many felt that the images were not her, while others wondered why she was so determined to get them removed if they were not really of her.

Posted 24 minutes ago by Clutch Staff in Celebs , Ladies , News For better or worse, Americans have become experts on leaked nude photos of ourcelebrities. How could we not with so many out there? That's why we're not buying Celeb Jihad's latest bomb, a topless photo of Taylor Swift . The siteacknowledges they aren't certain it'sSwift in the photo, but "after careful examination" the writer is convinced it's her. While the girl does really look like our young country singer, the setting says otherwise. Swift has been famous since her teens and therefore rich with all the bling. This photo looks like it's taken in a trashy double-wide trailer, specifically in ahigh school boy's bedroom. Since Swift likes strawberries, Celeb Jihad argues that the strawberries on the girl's panties are a dead giveaway. What about the Chicago Bulls poster in the background? And what looks like a baseball next to it? When did the pop star become a sport enthus

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:17p.m. Taylor Swift has called in her lawyers after website bloggers wrongly identified a woman posing topless as the country superstar.

They're demanding the website bosses take the post down, and have threatened to sue for trademark infringement if they refuse, according to TMZ.com. WENN.com

Taylor Swift doesn't just look like a fairy or an adorable elf -- she's got to have some sort of magical powers. The super sweet singer just seems to have a mystical effect on guys -- her exes just can't seem to stay away from her, and other guys love surprising her with special songs and performances. Here's a rundown of some of the men she's recently enchanted: Taylor Lautner The cute country crooner's ex fell prey to the man magnet at the Teen Choice Awards earlier this month. The two Taylors were spotted laughing and looking adorable together, so maybe there's a chance that these crazy kids will get back together someday (in the meantime, the "Twilight" hunk is in danger of becoming the subject of a few more songs by reconnecting with his ex). Adam Young Perhaps Taylor is the real-life Bella Swan -- she certainly does have a lot of guys fighting for her affection. The blonde beauty was evidently smitten with this Owl City frontman for a short

Taylor Swift decided to lay down roots in Nashville earlier this year -- and she purchased a home in the capitol of country music to the tune of $1.45 million. The house features 4.925 square feet with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. Sounds perfect, doesn't it? Sure does, but Swift just put it back on the market -- just four months after closing. The country superstar apparently decided that Beverly Hills is the place to be and just finished purchasing a $3.975 million house on 1.37 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains. The California house is a 4 bedroom, 4 bath home in the Franklin Canyon area. Celebrities are always on the lookout for prime property that us mere mortals can only dream about.

You may be wondering what you're going to wear to the CMA Awards this year. As you should be. But to add to your endless style possibilities, I give you Glamour 's how-to guide on making your up-do look like Taylor Swift 's. It is that ethereal braided bun she's been wearing lately. And if you have a few hours, it can look gorgeous. (Maybe I'm exaggerating, but sometimes it seems like these hairstyles that look messy and thrown together at the last minute actually took ample time, concentration, mirrors, bobby pins and upper body strength.) So Glamour tackles it with one tiny change: regular braids instead of Swift's fishtail braids. Fishtails are actually easier to create than braids because they only involve two sections as opposed to three, but they aren't for rook

Taylor Swifts Speak Now World Tour is a complex production that Taylor, her band, dancers and crew make look effortless night in and night out. The tour was far from effortless to plan, however, and despite how easy Taylor makes it look, she spent nearly a year preparing for the show. Putting together this tour was something that took about a year, Taylor said. This tour is incredibly detailed and it took a while to really get all the pieces put together. That involved me learning how to be hoisted out of a pop up lift, like youre being launched out of a catapult, launched out of the floor and all those little things that just kind of elevated this show and made it special. It wasnt just Taylor who had to learn all of those little things. The dancers that travel with her had to memorize a significant amount of complex choreography. All of it had to be learn

Five years ago today, I was listening to a lot of Tim McGraw . So it was impossible to ignore this new girl, Taylor Swift , and her song about him. Her self-titled debut album with "Tim McGraw," the song, on it was released exactly five years ago. And a few months after that release, I covered one of her shows for the Chicago Tribune . She was on tour with George Strait and Ronnie Milsap , opening the show with a little four-song set. I said things in my review like, "She was barely on stage for a half hour, but she accomplished so much" and "She let everyone know just how young she was ('Just a year ago, I was sitting in high school')." I raved about her outfit: a bohemian handkerchief-hem dress, cowboy boots and Stevie Nicks hair. And I stood in line for her autog

Taylor Swift's fragrance Wonderstruck contains 'all kinds of stuff'. The pop star has collaborated with Elizabeth Arden to create her first perfume and says there is a wide ranging mix of notes in the scent.

The pop star has previously revealed inspiration behind naming the new scent - which launched last month and will be rolled out worldwide over two years -came from her song 'Enchanted' about meeting a special someone and the tune features in the promotional video. She explained: 'I share personal life experiences through my music, and my fragrance will allow me to share these experiences with my fans in a completely different and new way.

We're told Taylor Swift , who just won Entertainer of Year at the Country Music Awards, will play her first headlining stadium show in Foxborough. That's right, Swift, who's been playing arenas on this tour, jumps up to the big time with a show at Gillette Stadium in early June. (Tickets go on sale next month.) In winning Entertainer of the Year, the 19-year-old newcomer beat out old boys Kenny Chesney , Brad Paisley , Keith Urban , and George Strait . (The last solo female artist to win the award was Shania Twain 1999.) Swift, who's touring in support of her platinum-selling CD "Fearless," is an excellent bet to fill Gillette considering the success of the New England Country Music Festival, which is held annually at the stadium. Since 2006, Swift has had 11 tunes debut in the top 30, according to Billboard. Only the Beatles have totaled more top 30 starts in the Hot 100's archives. Swift isn't the only act who'll rev up the Razor next summer. Bi

Taylor Swift has already written 25 songs for her new album. The singer is currently working on her fourth record - the follow up to her huge 2010 breakthrough 'Speak Now' - and although she doesn't expect to have it ready before late next year, Taylor already has a large selection of tunes to choose from. She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I've written 25 songs so far, so it's coming along really well. I've been writing a lot, and I like to take two years to make a record. We're at the end of year one and I still have a year left to go to write. It's looking really great.' Taylor has previously told how she makes herself sit down and purposefully write about her most painful experiences as a way of coming to terms with them. She said: 'I write about everything that intensely affects me. The more intense, the more painful, the more of a shudder it is to think about, the more I know I need to write a song about it to get past it. She added this

There is no one nicer than Taylor Swift. The country pop starlet writes nice songs (even when theyre about mean boys), she wears nice clothes ( really nice clothes) and on Thursday night she brought her super nice Speak Now tour to Valley View Casino Center (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena). The 21-year-old, Grammy-nominated singer spent two hours and 15 minutes sharing stories, singing about heartbreak and acting out scenarios from her popular videos with a troupe of dancers, a 9-piece band, aerialists and lots of fireworks. There was everything from the rollicking Our Song country jamboree complete with a stuffed goat on wheels, to a wedding scene with gown and bridesmaid dresses for the sentimental Speak Now. And in return, the sold-out crowd that included best friends to dads and their daughters jumped and screamed and swayed for most of the dazzling extravaganza. What I remember is that San Diego is really bouncy, Swift said after popping out of the stage in a sparkly, gold-t

Swift, who has been linked to Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal in the past, replied, "I don't have one I for real don't have a boyfriend. I sit by myself and I watch 'Law and Order' I don't have like even kind of a boyfriend. I don't have someone that I'm texting that's a guy that might some day be my boyfriend. There's like nothing going on right now." To which DeGeneres teased her, "That's pathetic." Taylor Swift Is Too Busy for Boys But of course Swift has a lot going on right now.

As a singer who is famous for writing songs about relationships and boys, her bold statement about not having a boyfriend has come as quite a surprise. Swift told the world when on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she did not have a boyfriend. People reported that the 21-year old country crooner went into even more detail when saying I dont even have, like, kind of a boyfriend. I dont have someone that Im texting that is a guy that someday might be my boyfriend. Theres like nothing going on right now. For someone who has been constantly linked to men over the years such as Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, and Taylor Lautner, her adamant singleness is definitely a change.

"Youd know if I had a boyfriend. I sit by myself and watch Law & Order. I dont have someone who Im texting a guy who someday might be my boyfriend." she revealed. Taylor went on to state that she is not the kind of girl who always needs a man on her arm to feel happy.

I want to be the girl that, when she falls in love, its a big deal." she said. Taylor Swift recently paid tribute to Steve Jobs after the Apple CEO passed away earlier this month aged just 56.
