Even though X-rated photos allegedly belonging to celebrities across the world no longer reach the web at the same pace as they did as part of the famous Fapenning saga, several websites known for posting such content keep leaking new galleries which they claim were stolen from the stars’ own devices.

The latest that could be targeted by such a leak is Taylor Swift, with one of the websites threatening in a message that went live this week that a new set of pictures would be posted in the near future.

While it’s not clear if they’re indeed in possession of new adult photos with the American singer, the website also posted a preview of what they claim to be part of the stolen pic batch that could soon make its way online. Comparison photos posted by the same site seem to indicate that Taylor Swift is indeed the one in the images, though it goes without saying these could all be faked.

They could be fake

Swift hasn’t yet released a statement on this possible leak and the website isn’t asking for any compensation in exchange for not posting the images.

This wouldn’t be the first time Taylor Swift is involved in the Fappening scandal, as several websites posted earlier this year pictures which they claimed were stolen from the singer’s private collection. The photos eventually proved to be fake.

It goes without saying that all these alleged leaks should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism, especially because cybercriminals and websites known for posting such content could use them for other benefits, including more traffic and followers on social accounts.

The list of celebrities whose private pics were stolen and posted online as part of a reboot of the Fappening saga include WWE diva Maria Kanellis, Nicole Scherzinger, Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart, and Anne Hathaway. Several of them threatened with legal action against whoever posted the photos, but this hasn’t prevented a series of websites from leaking them anyway.
