From consistently breaking Spotify records to having the highest-grossing tour of all time, Taylor Swift is arguably one of the most successful musicians in history.
The 'Cruel Summer' singer even beat out King Charles and Barbie to be named TIME's Person of the Year for 2023.
But such a high level of fame comes with a few drawbacks and over the years, Swift has been the subject of some pretty wild conspiracy theories.

According to the internet, the 34-year-old is at the centre of a military-driven plot to help Joe Biden get re-elected as President of the United States, and is a clone of a Satanic high priestess. And that's just for starters.
But one theory that's been circulating the web recently has been debunked after one of the parties involved spoke out.
Back in November of last year, Swifties did a double take when a Glamour Girls dolls advert from 1981 resurfaced online.
You see, one of the actresses in the ad looked just like the 'Blank Space' singer. With Swift not being born until eight years after it aired, this led some people to believe she's a time traveller.
One fan shared the ad on TikTok alongside the caption: "This 1981 commercial is proof that Taylor Swift is a time traveler."
And others commented below: "I was like wait is that Taylor," and, "Wow it does really look like her. Sounds like her too!"
But any hopes for a real life Back to the Future-type situation have been dashed after the real actress from the ad stepped forward.
Addressing the confusion during an appearance on Inside Edition, Toni Hudson, now 63, was quick to clear up the rumour.
"Right here in the flesh. I did that commercial," she said.
The Glamour Gals commercial was Hudson's big break, with her being just 19-years-old when it aired.
She has since had a successful acting career, making appearances in TV shows such as Knight Rider and The A-Team, and films like Just One Of The Guys (1985) and Assassin's Fury (2023).
Meanwhile, Taylor has just completed the first UK leg of her blockbuster 'Eras Tour,' which saw her perform at venues across Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London.
A number of famous famous joined thousands of Swifties at the gigs, including Paul McCartney, Nicola Coughlin and even the Royal Family.
The megastar is set to continue her sold-out tour tomorrow night in Dublin and will be back in the UK in August for more shows at London's Wembley Stadium.
