AceShowbiz - While Katy Perry's celebrating Memorial Day, there's something that made her upset. On Monday, May 30, her Twitter account, which has 89 million followers, was hijacked and taken over by hackers, who posted some nasty and vulgar tweets.
At around 12:30 P.M., the singer retweeted Hillary Clinton's Memorial Day message along with her message and an America flag emoji. Five hours later, the hackers managed to gain access to her account and posted a series of random tweets on her timeline.

The first tweet read, "haha follow @sw4ylol #hackersgonnahack." The hackers then continued posting confusing tweets including the one referring to her longstanding feud with Taylor Swift. The hackers wrote, "Miss you baby," while tagging the "Shake It Off" hitmaker's account. Other posts, including one aimed at YouTube celebrity Keemstar, featured offensive language.
All of the tweets were deleted from the "Dark Horse" singer's account fifteen minutes after they were posted. However, Twitter account @sw4ylol, which allegedly belongs to the hackers, shared Katy's new song called "Witness 1.3." "Katy Perry witness (fresh leak) @katyperry," so read the tweet which came along with a link to SoundCloud.
The account later posted a screenshot of an email from the music sharing site, announcing they had removed the track under a copyright claim by Universal Music Group.
