Taylor Swift was on vacation in Hawaii Tuesday when her Twitter and Instagram accounts were hacked, and though the hackers originally claimed to have obtained nude photos of the 25 year old and threatened to release them, Swift is denying that they have any.
The hackers tweeted out from Swift’s account to her 51 million followers and told them to follow two accounts related to the hacker group Lizard Squad. Her account had been recovered and the tweets deleted within 15 minutes.
The user, whose handle was “@veriuser,” has now been suspended, but before had posted a picture showing he had access to Swift’s account.

Another user, under the handle “@lizzard,” said he had nude photos of Swift and would post them as soon as three bitcoins, about $800, had been paid to an account.

However, Swift denied that they had any nude photos at all. (RELATED: Nude Photos Released In HUGE Leak)
