Why Taylor Swift Is Buying Porn Site Domain Names

Mar 23, 2015  •  Post A Comment

Taylor Swift has bought Internet domains related to porn, and it may be part of a trend among celebrities. Time magazine reports that the singer’s publicity team purchased TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult as a precaution, to prevent other people from using the sites.

The domains were set to become available to the public June 1, with a batch of new suffixes on the way. The new domains are designed to be a more targeted version of the familiar .com and .org.

“From that date, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will release new top-level domain names to the public, ranging from the innocuous .coffee or .report, to more colorful suffixes like .adult or .sucks. The move is part of a plan, announced in 2011, to make domains more helpful and descriptive, and to make filtering easier,” Time reports.

The move by Swift’s people is aimed at preventing the opportunistic abuse of her name and image by adult content purveyors, the report notes. The article reports that other “top names” are making similar acquisitions, citing the example of Microsoft, which has reportedly bought Office.porn and Office.adult.
