Taylor Swift just might be a genius.In addition to being a 25-year-old multi-platinum millionaire singer with numerous awards to her name, the pop star also has a unique way of avoiding the paparazzi: She walks backwards.Earlier in May, a photo began to circulate on Tumblr that showed Taylor Swift on an LA hiking trail walking awkwardly while a man pointed at her.Fans were confused, comparing the photo to someone trying to pass a road side sobriety test.But then Swift, who is an avid Tumblr user herself, responded and said she walked the entire nature trail backwards to avoid her picture being taken by the paparazzi, reports celebrity blog Just Jared. Her security team - the man in the photo - was directing her where to go.
The singer wrote on her Tumblr:I saw the guy with the camera and wasn't in the mood so I hiked the whole trail backwards and my security told me when to make turns.Ah, the tranquility of the great outdoo-TAYLORCANYOULOOKOVERHEREGIVEUSASMILEAREYOUDATINGJYCGUCKVHKCTAYLORHEYTAYLOR

Back in March, video surfaced of the pop star walking backwards out of a garage in West Hollywood with her body guard guiding her the whole way.
Swift also isn't alone when it comes to celebrities using out-there methods to avoid paparazzi shots. Kim Kardashian famously used a body double on her honeymoon with Kanye West to try and trick the paparazzi and Daniel Radcliffe wore the same outfit after leaving a West End theater in London for six months during "Equus" so that the pictures always looked like they were from the same night.
