Lookalike 'freaked out' after Taylor Swift mistook her for herself

A Taylor Swift lookalike has spoken out after her resemblance to the singer was noted by the star herself.

21-year-old student Morgan Jensen from Arizona featured on a picture-laden Tumblr post that was titled 'When your best friend looks like Taylor swift you have to take 100 selfies'.

Swift reposted the message on her own Tumblr, adding: "lol I thought that was me."

Jensen has now told BBC Newsbeat that she "freaked out" after seeing the tribute.

She said: "I am just shocked and in disbelief that Taylor Swift saw those photos of me.

"I just find that so funny 'cause she was so casual about it. I was freaking out for so long.

"I kept refreshing it and checking it on my computer and my phone again to make sure it was real before I acknowledged it and really realised what had happened."

The student added: "If I go an hour without mentioning Taylor Swift then something's probably wrong.

"I have been compared to Taylor Swift a lot because I'm tall like her and all it takes is sunglasses and red lipstick pretty much because we have the same hair colour."
