Taylor Swift is the latest victim of online hackers.

According to a new report, the country singer's Twitter account was hacked on Tuesday afternoon by a group known as the Lizard Squad.

"Taylor Swift's social media was taken over by hardcore hackers who are now threatening to release nude pics of Taylor," TMZ reported shortly after the hack. "Multiple tweets went out from Swift's account this morning ... telling her 71 million plus followers to follow @lizzard and @veriuser -- both of whom claim to have ties to a group of hackers called the Lizard Squad."

In the last several months, celebrity nude photos have been leaked online in a number of hackings. Among the victims were celebrities, including Victoria Justice, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevingne.

In addition to Swift's Twitter account being compromised, TMZ reported her Instagram page displayed the hacker's message, as well.

"The Lizard Squad claims to have hacked major gaming systems -- such as Sony PlayStation and Xbox Live -- last year. They also claim to be behind Monday's Facebook and Instagram outage. Now, the hackers say they're planning to post naked shots of Taylor."

Days ago, Swift made headlines after sharing a photo of herself with friends on a boat. Although the group shot wouldn't normally have been newsworthy, the fact that Swift's belly button was seen for the very first time caused quite the stir online.

UPDATE: Swift has addressed the hacking on Twitter.
