The makers of adult animation show "Family Guy" dedicated an entire episode to singer Taylor Swift, taking a dig at her habit of writing revenge songs about her former boyfriends.

In the episode, Swift breaks up with fictional character Chris Griffin saying "just so I can write songs about heartbreak", reports metro.co.uk.

The episode titled "Chris Has Got A Date, Date, Date, Date, Date" from series 15, her habit of writing so-called 'revenge' songs was thoroughly ridiculed, as well as her squeaky-clean image.

After breaking up with Griffin, the animated version of Swift writes a cruel song about him behind his back. It is called "The boy in the giant tux". It has lyrics: "I know you're just blubber in a dress shirt".

Explaining why she would do such a thing, Swift later tells him: "I ruin relationships with nice guys and John Mayer just so I can write songs about heartbreak and moving on."

Griffin later goes on a rant at the singer, saying: "Taylor Swift, you are a spoiled, ostrich-legged, no-talent, big-footed freak. You pretend to relate to your fans but you make your bodyguards carry your purse! All your songs sound the same! And your cats aren't that cute."

The season of "Family Guy" will premiere in India on Star World Premiere HD on November 27.
