Katy Perry's Twitter account hacked, tweets about feud with Taylor Swift surface

LOS ANGELES: Singer Katy Perry's Twitter account, which has a sizeable following of 89 million, was hacked. The hackers also posted some nasty and vulgar tweets.

The Twitter account of the "Dark Horse" singer was hacked on Monday, May 30, and it posted some random tweets including the one referring to her feud with the "Black Space" hitmaker, reported E! online.

At around 12:30 PM, the 31-year-old songstress retweeted Hillary Clinton's Memorial Day message along with her message and an America flag emoji.




Five hours later, the hackers gained access to her account and posted a series of random tweets on her timeline.

The hackers posted tweets including the one referring to her longstanding feud with Taylor Swift. The hackers wrote, "Miss you baby," while tagging the "Shake It Off" hitmaker's account.



All of the tweets were deleted from the "Dark Horse" singer's account fifteen minutes after they were posted. However, Twitter account @sw4ylol, which allegedly belongs to the hackers, shared Katy's new song called "Witness 1.3."

The official account later posted a screenshot of an email from the music sharing site, announcing they had removed the track under a copyright claim by Universal Music Group.
