Being mistaken for Taylor Swift is something Olivia Sturgiss knows all too well.
Hailing from New South Wales, Australia, Sturgiss is a 19-year-old serving corporal in the Swift Squad. She also looks a lot like her. Like, a lot.
Just chillen with @_kristy_lee_ at Channel 7... y'know, as you do. #coolkids #selfie #werkit A photo posted by Liv (@olivia_oblivious) on Nov 23, 2015 at 4:28pm PST
Meeting her idol for the first time when she toured Australia recently with her friend Kristy, Sturgiss told BuzzFeed Swift had helped her with grieving over the loss of one of her parents.
"I wanted to thank her for everything she's done and tell her that her song "The Best Day" helped me through my mum’s passing this October from uterine cancer," she said.

Sturgiss said she regularly gets mistaken for Swift, but it doesn't really sound like she's complaining.

She's even managed to get behind the merch stands at Swift's shows to fool onlookers, according to her friend Kristy's Instagram.

Seriously, this is a little unsettling. If there's a group of girls who can pass as lookalikes for the Haim sisters, you need to let Sturgiss know. She'll be waiting.
Liv freaking me out. @taylornation we will be in section D4 on the 10th, section 7, Level 1 [east] Aisle 6, Row P on the 11th and section 79 row A on the 12th!

This takes the term "pulling a swifty" to a whole new level.
