A cartoon version of Taylor Swift has appeared on the latest episode of Family Guy, with the comedy show taking aim at her penchant for break-up songs.

The singer is mocked on the episode Chris Has Got A Date, Date, Date, Date, Date, which aired in the US at the weekend.

She goes on a prom date with Chris Griffin, but they later go their separate ways. Swift, however, writes the song 'The Boy In The Giant Tux' about their encounter.

Swift - not voiced by the actual singer - says about her song: "I always do this. I ruin relationships with nice guys and John Mayer just so I can write songs about heartbreak and moving on."

The character of Swift previously appeared in the hit animation show back in 2012 when she bumped into Peter Griffin alongside Taylor Not-So-Swift at the Country Music Awards.
