Taylor Swift's Twitter account is said to be hacked by a group of techies calling themselves the Lizard Squad. The unknown hackers have currently circulated screen shots said to contain private messages between the songstress and her contacts.

Screen shots posted in The Internet Gawker show what appeared to be conversations between the Shake It Off singer and former child star Nick Jonas who were talking about gambling and playing cards.

The singer closed the conversation about engaging gambling with Nick with a witty line saying, "Are we bad kids now?"

Other conversations that were revealed were those of Tay and singer-songwriter Garrett Borns, aka BØRNS whom the songstress has promoted on social media.

She also suggested  'brunch' with Youtube sensation Felix Kjellberg known as PewDiePie. The Youtube star has always promoted Tay for months now wanting Swift to be her BFF.

The Sydney Morning Herald, however, questioned whether the messages should be interpreted as they are or should be considered as euphemisms of something else.

Following the attacks, Twitter has temporarily shut down Taylor Swift's two accounts. The Blank Space singer also urged her 71 million followers to follow the Lizard Squad @lizzard and @veriuser on the social media group.

The hackers are said to be responsible in hacking the singer's Instagram. Further, there are more serious allegations raised against the group of hackers saying that they are also responsible in hacking the Sony Playstation and Xbox. Temporary shutdowns on Facebook  and Instagram this week have also been attributed to the online perpetrators, according to the New York Daily News.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is very confident in declaring that her private messages are wholesome and do not contain any nude pictures.

The Daily Mail quoted some posts from the singer saying, "Any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING."

In her Tumblr, she said, "Well, now I'm awake. My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords."
