Rumor has it that there is a Taylor Swift and Harry Styles sex video circulating somewhere on the internet. As interesting as it may sound, I did some digging and found that this entire thing was a hoax. By the way, a reporter from Huffington Post also covered this news recently, which means that there is a lot of credibility to the entire debacle being nothing more than something fabricated recently.

Taylor Swift Sex Video on Facebook? What’s the Big Deal?

A lot of users have been reportedly getting messages and Facebook posts, which are stated down as:

Taylor Swift’s iPhone Hacked – Sex Tape LEAKED!

The famous singer Taylor Swift had her iPhone hacked Monday and a sex tape between her and former boyfriend Harry Styles has been leaked on the internet. Taylor’s publicists are trying to take down all of the websites hosting it, but we found a working one! Watch the video before it’s taken down! CLICK HERE ———> 

Clicking the link is supposed to take you to some kind of steamy encounter. However, things take a turn towards those morbid survey websites. The user is asked to fill out a survey form. Okay, no biggie – it’ll just take 5 minutes so I might get done with it asap. Well, before you know it, there’s another survey form to be filled.

This time, the survey guys promise to take you to the Taylor Swift and Harry Styles leaked sex video but alas – you will be redirected to yet another survey. If three surveys are not enough, the chain will continue until exhaustion from users’ side.

Meanwhile, the scammers who started this entire rumor, end up making a considerable amount of cash from clicks and survey submissions. Anyhow, the Taylor Swift video is the not the first incident of its kind. There are other false alarms, such as;

• Vanessa Hudgens Sex Tape
• Osama Bin Laden Killing/ Murder Tape
• Miley Cyrus Sex Video
• “Spring Breakers” Cast Sex Video (I am assuming this one was an orgy)
• Something about Gangnam Style Secret Video – Might Be Pistachios Having Sex?
• Oh, a Justin Bieber Sex Tape?
• Your Sex Tape!!!!

So what did we learn today? It would be a good idea to follow such links discretely. Most of the times, the updates concerning your shady activities at Facebook, usually through these links, are posted automatically on your wall via status update. Someone from your friends list clicks them and the process continues to an infinitum…

Don’t forget that you are exposed to viruses while taking part in these activities. If you are still willing to pursue your curiosity, please go and watch porn movies. No one’s gonna judge you. At least not from ‘The National’s’ side. Take cares and have a great day.
