Country music singer Taylor Swift, who has always put forth a wholesome image over the course of her singing career, has threatened to take legal action over an alleged topless photo of her posted on the website Celeb Jihad. The woman in the photo is allegedly a Swift lookalike.
According to the October 30th celebs.gather.com article, “Taylor Swift Considering Legal Action Over “Leaked” Pic”, Taylor Swift’s legal team is threatening to file a trademark-infringement lawsuit, demand that the picture be removed from the website, which was posted several months ago. They claim the photograph represents “false news” and “false pornographic images” about Swift. The caption accompanying the post reads “Taylor Swift Private Pic Leaked?”.
Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989. She is a country pop singer-songwriter, musician and actress. She released her third album, entitled “Speak Now” on October 25th of this year. It sold over 1 million copies in one week. In 2009, she was named Artist of the Year by Billboard Magazine. She earned four Grammy awards following the release of her second album Fearless. This included Album of the Year at the 52nd Grammy Awards. The album was at the top of the Billboard 200 for 11 non-consecutive weeks.
Currently, she is promoting her Wonderstruck perfume throughout the U.S.
According to her “My Life” page at her website, Taylor Swift writes: “These days, I’ve been trying to classify my thoughts into two categories: “Things I can change,” and “Things I can’t.” It seems to help me sort through what to really stress about. But there I go again, over-planning and over-organizing my over-thinking! I write songs about my adventures and misadventures, most of which concern love. Love is a tricky business. But if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be so enthralled with it. Lately I’ve come to a wonderful realization that makes me even more fascinated by it: I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to love. No one does! There’s no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can’t plan for it. I can’t predict how it’ll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful. And even though there’s no way to feel like I’m an expert at it, it’s worth writing songs about — more than anything else I’ve ever experienced in my life.”
Clearly, with this type of open minded attitude, Swift will undoubtedly be able to overcome anything that is thrown at her – good or bad.
On November 11, 2009, Swift had the honor of becoming the youngest artist to be awarded the Country Music Association Award for Entertainer of the Year. She is one of only six women to be given the Country Music Association’s highest honor.
