Pop star Taylor Swift buys two porn websites

American pop sensation Taylor Swift has purchased two porn websites to prevent unscrupulous online profiteers from publishing fake nude photos.

Ms Swift has bought www.taylorswift.porn and www.taylorswift.adult, CNN has reported.

The purchase, which would have cost several thousands of dollars if she paid current market rates, is believed to be a tactic to block others from using the sites.

Along with other celebrities and well-known brands, the singer-songwriter was offered first dibs on these new adult-only website domains, which will be sold to the general public from the start of June.

Porn sites are not the only “.com” replacements for sale.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which oversees web names, will also introduce slightly more helpful suffixes such as “.healthy” and “.music”, as well as the quirky “.donuts” and “.pink”.
