London, Oct 30 : A representative for Taylor Swift has come out to defend the singer for posing with a male fan wearing a T-shirt with swastika sign.

The `Love Story' hitmaker found herself in the soup after she posed with a young man wearing the Nazi symbol at Katy Perry''s Hollywood birthday bash last weekend.

However, her spokesperson has distanced the star from the unidentified fan by claiming she didn''t even know him and she wasn't aware of what he was wearing.

"Taylor took pictures with about 100 people that night... She doesn''t know who this guy is and she didn''t realise what was on his shirt," the Daily Express quoted Swift's rep as telling TMZ. com. (ANI)
