Taylor Swift(ly) strikes down adult movie dealers

American sweetheart Taylor Swift is now the legal owner of TaylorSwift.porn.

That blonde is smart and has beaten porn peddlers as she has bought two domain names TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult.

The pop star's URL purchase is not part of an attempt to shake off her wholesome image. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

CNN reports that Swift's team is part of "a select group of people and companies" that have been given access to some of ICANN's more controversial new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) before they're released to the public.

Public figures and companies have been given advance access to register the new .porn, .adult and .sucks sites, which cost up to US$2,500 each.

Swift has made a habit of keeping an eye on domain names which reference her - last month, her representatives allegedly threatened to sue Ronnie Cremer, the guy who taught her to play guitar, over his itaughttaylorswift.com website.

CNN reported that Swift and Microsoft were among the parties who'd already registered domains on both gTLDs.

It has not been revealed how much Swift's team or Microsoft paid for the .porn and .adult domains.
