Taylor Swift is well-known not only for her infectious songwriting and
all-ages fan group, but also her reputation for ladylike behavior
and attire. Still, the 21-year-old superstar--like many big names
before her--has found herself the subject of some rather sordid gossip
over the weekend. According to TMZ, Swift has sicced her lawyers on a
tabloid site called Celeb Jihad, who has published what it claims to
be a "leaked" topless photo of her. Swift's legal team has reportedly
stated that the site contains "false
pornographic images and false 'news'" about the singer, and
threatens a lawsuit for trademark infringement if the photo is not
taken down. The site in question has not removed the photo yet; instead
choosing to put up a news item stating that Swift is furious with and
"waging war" against them. TMZ noted that Swift's camp had no comment
on the matter. (Our own request for comment was
unreturned as well.) If Swift is indeed furious over this incident,
she's doing a fine job of
hiding it. The singer appeared her usual stylish and unruffled self at a
Nashville-area launch for her new perfume, Wonderstruck, on Friday;
sporting a chic Ted Baker dress and black tights. Swift's currently in
the midst of her largely sold-out North American Speak Now tour (you
can check dates here). On November 9, she'll be in the running for
five trophies at the 2011 Country Music
Association Awards.
