Grammy winning singer Taylor Swift has responded to rumours that her legs are insured for millions of pounds by posting a picture of her leg with a scratch from her cat Meredith.

The singer posted a picture of her leg with the caption: 'Great work Meredith. I was just trying to love you and now you owe me 40 million dollars.'

Many of her fans responded to the picture, posted up on Taylor's official Twitter and Facebook pages, with 'Why don't you just shake it off', referring to her hit song.

It comes after unconfirmed reports last week that the star's legs had been insured for $40m (£27m).

The singer's two cats Meredith and Olivia are regular stars of her page - with the celebrity regularly posting up pictures and video of the two Scottish Folds on her social media pages.
