Being the biggest name in music has its perks, but it’s not without a trade off. Unless Taylor Swift donned a brunette wig and a fat suit, she’ll be recognized in public (and even in disguise, we’d probably find out and her alter-ego would be a internet sensation all in itself). So when she goes for a casual hike, the cameras find her.

But, um, Taylor – you’re going the wrong way. Is hiking backwards the latest craze in fitness?
Nope, she just didn’t feel like smiling. (We all have those days, amiright?) Swift posted this response to the photos on Tumblr.

But this isn’t the first time T. Swift has used her security to blindly guide her while she stumbles backwards. Check out this video from March taken in Los Angeles.

Ironically, both times she walked backwards to avoid publicity, these stories are getting ten times more coverage because Swift chose to walk backwards. Is she looking for the funny pictures so she can giggle with Martha Hunt, Gigi Hadid, and Hailee Steinfeld about how the paparazzi fell for her calculated stunt? She certainly doesn’t hide from cameras when she’s holding hands with Calvin Harris.
All we know is that Taylor is going to have some killer calves if she keeps this avoidance tactic up.
