PopUps: Taylor Swift Buys TaylorSwift.porn

Jason St. Amand READ TIME: 1 MIN.

According to a number of reports, Taylor Swift and her team recently bought a bunch of websites with her name that end with the domains .porn, .adult and .sucks.

No, it's not because T-Swizzle is a super freak or she's making a sudden change in her career: the "Shake It Off" singer and her team purchased the new sites as preventative measure, making sure that some creepsters out there on the World Wide Web don't buy the newly released XXX domains and load them up with sexy content.

The domains become available on June 1, as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers will release new top-level domain names to the public, including .coffee and .report, as CNN points out. Also available are .adult and .sucks. The agency will release more than 1,3000 new domains in order to be more helpful and descriptive and to make filtering easier.

Swift isn't the only big name snatching up the porny domain names in advance of the June 1 release - Microsoft recently acquired Office.porn and Office.adult.

So if you were hoping to get some naughty pictures of Taylor Swift think again, sicko! Swift and her team will probably do nothing with the websites.

In October 2014, it was reported that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers denied an application by DotGay LLC to exclusively own the rights to .gay because the LGBT community isn't made up only homosexuals.
