Taylor’s Photo Completely Innocent

A representative for Taylor Swift has explained a photo showing Taylor with her arm around a young man wearing a swastika on his shirt.

The photo was taken during pop singer Katy Perry’s birthday party in West Hollywood over the weekend. The picture showed up on the website, tmz.com, and has since circulated in other media. Taylor’s representative told TMZ, "Taylor took pictures with about 100 people that night. She doesn’t know who this guy is and she didn’t realize what was on his shirt.” The “JH” initials on Taylor’s dress likely stand for Julianne Hough, who was also at the party and was seen sporting “TS” (presumably for Taylor Swift) painted on her outfit.

 

The young man in the shirt, AJ English, says that he is sorry for dragging Taylor into the controversy and told TMZ that he did not know Taylor prior to the party. He explained that the swastika started out as an “X” but became "perverted" during the night as the party went on.

Anyone who knows Taylor realizes that she would have never deliberately taken this photo. Had Taylor noticed what was on the young man’s shirt, she would have nixed the photo altogether.

    She didn't realize what was on his shirt? Are you kidding me? I guess that's what happens when you ditch school when daddy buys you a record deal.

    get over it. Taylor is a very level headed girl and would not do anything to offend someone. The 3 of you others need to grow up and stop trying to stir up trouble.

    I really don't think she realized it either. She has more common sense than half of the artists out there.Rap or Rock. She has more talent in your words when you call her a nazi-skin head....you are all ignorant for even calling her a nazi.

    I rekon it was a party with loads of people & Taylor had her photo taken with loads of people & probably hadn't noticed what was on this guys shirt.
    It is extremely regretable, but I have no reason to think ms swift is a Nazi.
    I rekon this young guy needs to learn what thay symbol actually means

    Country weekly, stop being stupid as Taylor S. Guess big smile with a big red Swastika does not bother Taylor Swift and country weekly either. It is shame !

    No,taylor swift does not have common sense as other rock/pop artists. She only has fair tales stories. Other artists have awareness about society issues. If you think Taylor swift is level headed girl, that means she knows what she was doing at that party-- that means Swastika is cool and fun to her. Obviously that big red Swastika is insult to human life. maybe not to some people.
