18-year-old Shropshire based student Xenna Kristian has revealed that she was recently attacked by classmates because she looks like country-pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Krisitian has been earning money from working as a Swift lookalike and told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper that she was targeted because of this fact and subsequently beaten up near to Walford and North Shropshire College:

"Some girls at college had started making nasty comments, but it escalated really quickly."

"The girl came up behind me and dragged me off my chair by my pony tail, then started kicking me in the face."

Swift, meanwhile, is currently touring the USA and performed a show in Dallas last night which she confessed was one that will stay with her and wrote on Twitter: "Dallas. Thank you for a memory I'll replay in my mind on rainy days."
