Singer Taylor Swift has blasted hackers after finding out that her Twitter and Instagram accounts were hacked.

"Cause the hackers gonna hack, hack, hack, hack, hack...," the 25-year-old, whose account was hacked Tuesday, tweeted, making a reference to the lyrics of her hit single "Shake It Off".

"PS any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING," she added.

Swift thanked her friend and singer Hayley Williams for alerting her that there was something off on her social media, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I'd like to acknowledge the MVP of the day, @yelyahwilliams, for being the first to text me about the hack this morning. #FriendshipGoals," Swift wrote.

Williams replied: "Here's to the proof that you can win an MVP award for just basically sitting on the Internet for too long. @taylorswift13."

Swift also wrote on her Tumblr: "My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords. Never a dull moment. This is going to be a long day. #This is why I'm scared of technology."
