Taylor Swift is the proud owner of many enviable items: gorgeous kitties, legs that go on forever, seven Grammy's and err, two porn site domains. The pop goddess has reportedly purchased the rights to two rather questionable websites, TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult so that no one else out there can make money off her name, or porn.
The Blank Space hitmaker, who was recently threatened by hackers claiming to have nude pics of her, made the purchase before .porn, .suck, and other domain suffixes become available to the public on June 1. According to CNN, the same goes for tech giants Microsoft who snapped up Office.porn and Office.adult. They don't come cheap, however, as the can domains cost up to $2,500 to register.
The move comes as nonprofit group Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers decided to expand the types of domains available, offering businesses the chance to create websites without the typical domains of .com and .net.
Of course, for squeaky clean stars like Taylor, 25, the idea of having your name attached to sites ending in .porn or .adult isn't exactly desirable, which is why public figures and companies have been offered the chance to register them before anyone else can. The general public will have access to the sites in just under three months, and unless Taylor and her team do something before then, the website TaylorSwift.sucks will be available. Though God knows what anyone would want to do with that!
It's great to see the Shake It Off hitmaker capitalizing on her name and making sure that no low-life attempts to use her fame, without her permission, to promote adult movies. As all stars know there is big money to be made in celebrity sex tapes or parodies for that matter, but T-Swift has made it pretty clear that is not the right career path for her. That hasn't stopped one particularly nasty piece of work from threatening the star, however.
Back in January, when the celebrity nude photo scandal was still fresh in everyone's minds, a hacker claimed he had some incriminating photos of Taylor. The perpetrator reportedly sent out a number of tweets on her account whilst she was vacationing in Hawaii, but as soon as she was made aware of the situation she shut the rumours down in the best way possible.
"Cause the hackers gonna hack, hack, hack, hack, hack..." she tweeted. She continued, “PS any hackers saying they have ‘;nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING.” As predicted, no photos of the star emerged.
