A box containing hundreds of envelopes addressed to country-pop superstar Taylor Swift was found in a recycling dumpster in Nashville, Tennessee over the weekend.

A woman named Kylee Francescan discovered the collection of letters, which turned out to all be hand-written fan mail from devoted admirers, in a bin at an elementary school in the area and reported the box to Swift's label, Big Machine.

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer's label then issued a statement about the incident, in which a spokesperson explained that Swift loves receiving mail from people who look up to her and they're unsure how the letters ended up in the trash:

"Taylor gets thousands of fan letters every day and they are delivered to her management office. After the letters are opened and read, they are recycled. The only explanation for the letters being unopened would be that a small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling center."
