Taylor Swift defended after being told to delete new album picture as offended men complain it's ‘disgusting’

Taylor Swift has been fiercely defended by fans after being told to delete her latest album pictures, as a bunch of internet trolls complained that they were 'disgusting'.

While, for the most part, there's been nothing but hype and praise online for the 35-year-old 'Bad Blood' singer ever since she released the cover art for her upcoming album, some people have taken it upon themselves to slam and shame her for allegedly being a 'bad influence' on her younger fans.

Now, in case you're not in the loop, Taylor's new album set to come out this autumn (3 October) is titled The Life of a Showgirl and it has the cover art to match the whole 'showgirl' theme.

Yep, that means bedazzled bodysuits, fur, headdresses, feathers and - shock horror - some skin on show - all of which are bang-on theme if you ask us.

In a new batch of photos, which were shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and released on Monday (18 August), Taylor could be seen wearing a glitzy red and black bodysuit and matching arm sleeves with nude fishnet tights arching forwards with her two hands against a wall with her right leg slightly in front of the left.

Needless to say, an avalanche of keyboard warriors absolutely lost their sh*t with one X user jabbing: "This is a family-friendly platform and this post is disgusting. There are children on here and you should delete this graphic post."

You're on Twitter, babes, it's not exactly 'family-friendly'.

"This is obscene and indecent," slammed a second, while a third piped up: "This is the role model for young girls? You need Jesus."

And a final troll declared: "You know she is failing when she starts exposing skin."

Fortunately, it didn't take long for fans to call out such rhetoric with many specifically hitting out over the final comment.

"Yeah, I bet we all wish we could 'fail' like she does," penned one fan.

A second sarcastically quipped: "Do showgirls normally dress conservatively?"

"Insert insecure male comment here," joked a third, while a fourth pointed out: "Lol she's at the peak of her career."

Another added: "She just finished the highest-grossing tour in history."

And a final X user highlighted: "She's a billionaire with the largest fan base in modern history and you're a troll."

And, thankfully, this isn't the first time Swifties have come out in full force to defend their beloved pop icon and hopefully it won't be the last!
