Los Angeles, March 14 (IANS): Hundreds of sealed fan letters for singer Taylor Swift were found at the recycling bin centre by a worker.

Kylee Francescan was dumping some rubbish when she spotted the fan mails which were covered in hearts, sparkles and pictures of the singer. These were found in Swift's hometown here in Nashville, reports thesun.co.uk.

"I was like, 'That's weird.' There were like hundreds of letters in there to Taylor Swift and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh'," News 2 quoted Francescan as saying.

"I didn't know if they were stolen (or) discarded, so I threw them in a box. And I'm like, 'Somebody needs to let Taylor know. It did bother me because know how much her fans mean to her," he added.

Swift's spokesperson Paula Erickson says she will look into how they reached there and insists that it must have happened by mistake.

"Taylor gets thousands of fan letters everyday and they are delivered to her management office. After the letters are opened and read, they are recycled," Erickson said.

"The only explanation for any letters being unopened would be that a small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling centre," she added.
