Taylor Swift has beaten porn peddlers as she has bought two domain names TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult.

The 'Shake It Off' singer took the decision months before it would have been open for everyone as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, allowed public figures and companies to get ahead of the game and buy any domains before anyone else, TMZ.com reported.

In addition to the 21-year-old singer, Microsoft has also entered in the game and has bought porn domains named, Office.porn and Office.adult.
