Taylor Swift VMAs 2015 cocaine rumours denied by publicist

TAYLOR Swift’s rep has been forced to deny she was caught using cocaine backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.

A video entitled “Taylor Swift does Coke?” was uploaded to YouTube, showing the 25-year-old holding an item near her nose while she is shielded by her minders.

Three of her entourage linked their arms and raised them around her to give her some privacy.

Closer inspection of the footage shows Swift is holding a tissue up to her face.

Gawker also reported the video shows an assistant shining a torch up her nose to check for any “errant boogies”.

But her rep was quick to insist she was simply blowing her nose and didn’t want to be caught on camera.

The video was not televised, but rather leaked by an unknown person.

It gathered 6,700 views on YouTube before a legal take-down notice was issued by Viacom, the owner of MTV.

Swift’s publicist Tree Paine threatened to sue Gawker if they reported Swift was doing cocaine.
