Country and pop superstar Taylor Swift has just confirmed that both her Twitter and Instagram social media accounts were hacked on Tuesday.
According to Us Weekly, the unauthorized entry to the accounts resulted in tweets instructing Swift's 50-plus million followers to follow members of the Lizard Squad, namely @lizzard and @verisuer. The hackers have threatened to release nude photos of the singer if she doesn't pay up in bitcoins.
Vulture reports that so far, the hackers have released screengrabs from Swift's Twitter account. The select chats posted online were pretty harmless and illustrate just how nice the 25-year-old really is.
In one conversation, the "Blank Space" singer innocently jokes with former child star and close friend Nick Jonas about "being bad kids now" while another shows bits of adorable discussions with musician BORNS.
Another partial DM between Swift and Felix Kjellberg (@pewdiepie) was released. Superfame notes that since 2013, the fanatic has reached out to Swift numerous times. Again, the conversation is very friendly with the "Shake It Off" singer being incredibly nice.
Nude Leaks Hitting the Web?
Taylor has also slammed any possibility of her nudes hitting the web. The singer's latest twet regarding the hack sets the record straight that any threats regarding nude photo are empty.
"PS any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING," said a post on Twitter.

Taylor's Shaking It Off
While the "Out of the Woods" singer was vacationing in Hawaii, hackers gained access to the blonde beauty's accounts. Once alerted of the hacking incident, Taylor quickly turned to her Tumblr page to announce what happened.
"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," she wrote over Tumblr.
"Never a dull moment," added the celebrity.
Immediately after, Swift's Tumblr posted, "Now instagram. This is going to be a long day." Swift added the hashtags "#THIS IS WHY I'M SCARED OF TECHNOLOGY #WHO'S PARANOID NOW??" subtly admitting her paranoia over internet security.
After about an hour or two, Taylor was back on Twitter poking fun at the situation by mimicking a line from her hit track, "Shake It Off."
