Taylor Swift goes blank on social media, sending fans into frenzy

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Taylor Swift, one of the most popular celebrities on social media, wiped all her accounts on Friday, sending fans into a frenzy over whether the pop singer had been hacked, was preparing to launch a new album, or was about to reinvent herself.

 

Swift, who has 85 million Twitter followers and 102 million Instagram followers, deleted all of her Instagram photos, her posts on Tumblr, and removed her avatar from her Facebook page where all postings prior to December 2015 were missing.

 

The "Blank Space" singer also deleted years of Twitter posts, and her official website showed just a black screen.

 

"I'm scared to go to sleep thanks to Taylor Swift like what if she drops a new song," tweeted an anxious fan called Anu using the handle @shadesoftaylor.

 

Taylor's publicist did not return calls for comment, but the development follows a busy two weeks for Swift, who earlier this month ended a six month absence from the public spotlight to testify at a high-profile groping trial in Denver, Colorado.

 

Swift, 27, was on Monday awarded the symbolic $1 in damages that she had sought after a federal jury in Denver found that a radio DJ had grabbed her bottom while posing for a photo with her in 2013.

 

Her unflinching testimony describing the incident was applauded by fans and women's rights groups for highlighting the issue of sexual assault. Swift later made a donation to the sexual violence campaign and support group Joyful Heart Foundation.

 

Some fans speculated on Friday that Swift, whose last album was the best-selling "1989" in 2014, may be clearing out her accounts before releasing new music.

 

Others wondered if she had been hacked, while some thought the country-turned-pop star might be planning an image makeover.

 

"I woke up literally 7 minutes ago what in the world is going on with Taylor Swift," wrote one fan, Jordyn, on Twitter.

 

"Is the new era coming or she has been hacked ??,." tweeted another confused fan, using the handle TaylorSwiftNow.

 

Usually ubiquitous on social media and red carpets, Swift largely dropped out of public view earlier this year after a highly publicized but short-lived 2016 summer fling with British actor Tom Hiddleston, and feuds with Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Katy Perry.

Almost too subtle, but I got it eventually.

I guess it´s going to be hard sleeping for some time now. For all that ain´t got something more important on their mind, that is.

They even have her age in the article! There's more info than I need to know about her in the article.
Can you read English?
You formulated a question in English. I suppose you can read it too.

Apparently she's a little more famous for anybody to be able to feign ignorance about who she is.
I haven't watched TV in over 20 years, don't listen to the radio, rarely watch American news, but know who she is. And even if I didn't the article provides more than enough info for any cave dweller.

[nausea]

I think it was a joke.

[Pdaz]

About time she released a sex tape

We're pretty sure she hasn't quit posting on TVF, but she is well hidden behind a proxy server and an obscure username.

I just fantasized about touching her lovely butt, .....but don't worry, I won't act on it.  Plus, I'm a world away.  Here's a cuter kid.  I found him looking at me, on a side street in Shan State, Burma.

But you seem to have enough interest to follow her on TVF!

 

[tryasimight]

We now know it's a dollar to grab her arse.

So we have determined the type of girl she is.

 

Wonder what the charge is for short time?

[boomerangutang]

Thanks for the reminder - of how my life is a smoother ride without ever using Twitter.  Similar for FB, tho I check in there for a few minutes every 4 months or so.   All the hours I could be staring at a hand-held device, I instead spend hiking outdoors, through whats left of forests in Thailand - though they're fast decreasing in size.  A 4-lane  hwy is going in near my rural home, and whole hills are being leveled.  There are tens of acres of red mud as far as the eye can see.  Truly sad to see Thailand destroying what bits of forest they have left.  Thais are to forests what Trump is to truth.  Evisceration. 

[Proboscis]

Why is it so different for me? I am actually a fan of Taylor Swift - I like her music and was really bowled over by her video, Blank Space. And yet, I am showing no symptoms of frenzy and am completely calm with no increase in blood pressure.

Up to you, Taylor Swift.

If the abomination in the WH was half as smart as you are he might last until Christmas. Thankfully he isn't.

[Somtamnication]

The end of the world as we know it. 

[over it]

I'd hit it....
