Taylor Swift knew these domain names were trouble when they walked in.

The singer's team has purchased the web addresses TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult, prior to them becoming available to the public on June 1, according to CNN. It is unclear what she plans to do with them, if anything.

The move was prompted by nonprofit group Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers continuing to expand the number of generic top-level domains, beyond such popular ones as .com and .net.

A number of controversial domain names will be available in June, but public figures and companies are currently being given a window of time in which to register them before anyone else can.

This means that, in addition to Swift preemptively snatching up the sexy-sounding addresses, Microsoft Office has also registered Office.porn and Office.adult. The domains cost up to $2,500 to register, Ad Week reports.

By the way, another web suffix becoming available is .sucks, in case you were recently thinking to yourself that you just wish the Internet offered a little more negativity.

Considering she's such good friends with Kanye West, maybe Taylor's been taking career advice from his wife?

Defensive reg's for sure. Saves her the legal fees and other headaches she'd have if some a-hole registered them and put up a bunch of pix claiming they were her

Very wise move on her behalf.

Regardless, she still sucks.

It's really a shame that these defensive registrations are needed. It just casts a darker shadow around the domaining community.

The .sucks TLD opens such wide horizons. So many applications in the showbiz, no one can bear.

But seriously, .sucks must counterbalance somehow the existing .rocks !

That would be a bad move - her legal team would be all over you in a flash.

Probably not, but still a bad move to register someone's name in bad faith.

If it were a "top" 10 Taylor Swift fan page site, it may suffice. Though, I don't know how you could argue TaylorSwift.porn is a fan page.
