Is Taylor Swift Dead? Australia Seems to Think So

According to an Australian tag artist, Taylor Swift is dead. In Melbourne, a large mural in memory of Taylor Swift—captioned “In loving memory of Taylor Smith, 1989-2016”—has been painted to commemorate the life and supposed death of the incredibly famous pop star. 


While we all hope T. Swift is alive and well, many have suggested Kim Kardashian’s “Famous” reveal was merely the beginning of the end for Taylor’s career. This artist took the idea a bit too literally, though.

Taylor’s team has reportedly sent legal notice to the artist, but given the pretty significant typo and the fact that several others have already defaced the piece, we don’t think this will be a problem. Like Tay says, “Haters gonna hate.”
