Melbourne mural in memoriam of Taylor Swift is brutal AF

If you've happened upon this article purely by chance and with no introduction to what has been dubbed 'watergate for millennials', TL;DR Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift are fighting and this week everything went nuclear and possibly illegal and everyone has an opinion on the matter.

In a move both brutal as it is a commentary on just how invested the world has become in shaming Taylor Swift online, Melbourne street artist @lushsux has brought into the world, a street mural in memoriam of her metaphorical passing.

Noticeably, the mural is "in loving memory, Taylor Smith", probably because defamation law suits aren't super fun. Plus, if you're a street artist a lawsuit from anyone let alone the top earning celebrity of 2016, is probably far away from you top 100 things to do before you die.

Lushsux first popped up internationally with a building sized mural interpretation of Kim Kardashian West's nude selfie which was promptly painted over by some a-grade douche bags and destroyers of art.

The Kim Kardashian mural was tagged over within days of its appearance.

When asked if they were concerned about council bodies acting with swiftness to remove the mural, @lushsux told Mashable Australia "It's just taking the piss, I think the City of Melbourne won't be the problem it will be some ice head graffiti goon that will ruin the fun, touch wood it lasts a little bit so people can come have their fun with it and pay respects to our fallen sweet princess Tay."
