Swift responded to the cyberattack with a post to her official Tumblr page. "Well, now I'm awake…My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords. Never a dull moment."

Swift is one of the most followed accounts on the social media site, fourth behind Katy Perry (64 million), Justin Bieber (59.7 million) and President Barack Obama (53.9 million).

The pop singer's Instagram account was also hacked. A post was sent out to her 20.2 million followers with a photo asking them to follow @Trash.

Representatives from Twitter and Instagram declined to comment.
