Taylor Swift says she loves her fans more than anything in the world but, according to a recent finding, she may have no idea about how much some of these fans love her. One woman in Nashville found hundreds of letters from fans to Taylor thrown in the dumpster.

Kylee Francescan found the letters as she was disposing of her own garbage and immediately went to ABC News 2 with the story in the hope that they might help her send them back to Taylor.

Per her own words, there were hundreds of letters from fans from all over the world there, some opened, some not. Her conclusion was that they were discarded before Taylor even had a chance to read them.

“I was like, ‘That's weird.’ There were like hundreds of letters in there to Taylor Swift and I'm like, ‘Oh my gosh!’,” Kylee says for ABC News 2.

“I didn't know if they were stolen [or] discarded, so I threw them in a box. And I'm like, ‘Somebody needs to let Taylor know’,” she adds.

The network contacted Taylor’s management for a comment on the story, and what they got was a quasi-explanation about how the singer receives thousands of such letters every single day.

This could explain how these got lost (read: tossed to the dumpster before she read them) and no one knows how exactly that happened.

“Taylor gets thousands of fan letters everyday and they are delivered to her management office. After the letters are opened and read, they are recycled,” a spokesperson for Swift, Paula Erickson, says.

“The only explanation for any letters being unopened would be that a small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling center. We sincerely appreciate Channel 2 bringing this to our attention, and we plan to immediately pick up the mail,” Erickson adds.

The letters have already made their way to the singer, and will be “handled appropriately.”
