Taylor Swift's personal Twitter account was hacked on Tuesday. Two tweets were sent out to her 51.4 million followers asking them to follow @veriuser and @lizzard, who claims to have ties to the Lizard Squad, a black hat hacker group. Both accounts have since been suspended.
For the past few months celebrities are frequent targets of hackers who have posted personal and embarrassing information online in previous high-profile hacks.
The publicist of Taylor Swift did not immediately respond to numerous queries about the details of the hacking incident while Twitter and Facebook-owned Instagram did not immediately respond for comment on whether Taylor Swift's account have been hacked.
The hacking of Taylor Swift's account also coincides with the recent outage experience by Facebook and Instagram throughout Asia, United States and some parts of Europe.
Swift is one of the most followed account on the social media site, fourth behind Katy Perry (64 million), Justin Bieber (59.7 million) and President Barack Obama (53.9 million).
Representatives from Twitter and Instagram declined to comment.
