Taylor Swift's representative denied the allegations that the 'Bad Blood' hit maker is doing cocaine.
A video entitled 'Taylor Swift Doing Coke?' has been circulating around the internet recently. It garnered 6,700 views before it was removed from the web. The clip showed that Swift was holding something near her nose while she was at the backstage of the MTV Video Music Awards.
After the video garnered its momentum, many viewers presumed that the 'Shake It Off' singer is possibly using drugs. The uploaded video in YouTube, shows that Swift was holding an object near her hose, while her assistants covered her from the cameras.
A nasal sound was heard as Swift covered her nose with a tissue. The video also shows that one assistant is checking her nose for any "errant boogies," Gawker claimed.
Tree Paine, Swift's publicist denied the allegations. Paine told Gawker that the singer was merely "blowing her nose" and warned the media outlet that they don't want that image to appear on MTV. She also threatened Gawker that they will take legal action against the company if they will release reports about it.
This is the second video that caused Swift controversy this week. Her latest music video was also slammed by many people for alleged white supremacy.
Taylor Swift's latest released video 'Wildest Dreams' set in 1950s Africa was criticized because most of the cast are white, and suggested that it showcased an "African colonial fantasy," according to the Guardian.
But the director of the video, Joseph Kahn, defended Swift against the attackers.
In a statement, Kahn said, "We collectively decided it would have been historically inaccurate to load the crew with more black actors as the video would have been accused of rewriting history. This video is set in the past by a crew set in the present."
"This is not a video about colonialism but a love story on the set of a period film crew in Africa, 1950," he said.
