![Taylor Swift is no "Scarlet Lady"](http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/71/e8/71e8df2e786f421b41ae3855e89898d0.jpg?itok=qzfAwGKU "Taylor Swift is no "Scarlet Lady"")
On Friday, Feb. 8, 'Swifties' are taking to Twitter to reassure Taylor Swift that they will always have her back. Following a new Facebook sex video scam baited with Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, Taylor fans who call themselves "Swifties," vowed to be there for her forever. One "Swiftie" tweeted, "Do you know that your Swifties will be here for you forever & always cause we will be! We are always defending you!"
Fans must be grateful that the latest Harry and Taylor scandal to make Taylor's haters slobber was handily exposed as a hoax almost before it could spread. They can keep cheering that their "Lady in Red," is no "Scarlet Lady." The Facebook link promised:
"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!”
The bogus link didn't deliver. Instead, according to Fox News, it's a repeat of a scam similar to the one that targeted Miley Cyrus a couple of years ago. Fox reported, "You'll be drawn into a morass of surveys and scams that may ask you for your email address, your mobile-phone number and your name and address, or offer you dodgy-looking games and browser toolbars."
Fox further warned fans and foes of Taylor to be wary of links that requested personal information. They added, "Providing any of the information required guarantees that you'll be at a higher risk for spam emails, fraudulent premium text-message services, identity theft or even malware."
Although her fiercely loyal fans created a hashtag, "#SwiftiesGotTaylorsBack," to defend her against "media hate" and "false rumors," it doesn't matter which hashtag they use. Under all of the Twitter "Swiftie" hashtags, especially the "#swiftieslovetaylor," there is only love for their teen icon, every tweet a Valentine for Taylor.
