Taylor needs to leave a blank space in her squad for this girl.
You may or may not be aware, that Taylor Swift has a doppelgänger...
Her name is Keitra Jane, a junior at the University of Utah. She looks JUST LIKE the Grammy-nominated singer and Hollywood squad leader. Amirite?
Keitra is even a cat lady, just like T-Swizzle!
Her cat's name is Marissa Cooper, BTW. Apparently, she's also into naming her felines after TV show characters, just like Tay.
Obviously, she's stopped all the damn time for autographs.
“My favorite was at Disney World. I took pictures with a lot of younger children and parents asked me not to reveal that I wasn’t Taylor,” Keitra told BuzzFeed.
Because of her uncanny resemblance to the "Shake It Off" singer, she's managed to rake in over 17,000 Instagram followers...
...and in true T-Swift fashion, she's doing something worthwhile with all the attention.
“My goal is to work in the medical field with people who struggle with body dysmorphia and the behaviors that come with it,” Keitra said in an interview, admitting that she herself has struggled with body dysmorphia.
“I just want to help others. I recognize that I need to focus and get a good education if I want to be of the best help possible," she said. "Combined with my personal experience with disordered eating I think that I could be a powerful voice — and it’s nice to have a platform right now to do that!”
Unfortunately, Keitra was bullied by Internet haters, who called her a "fatter Taylor Swift." Rather than letting it get to her, though, she shut them down in the best way possible - all while raising awareness for disordered eating.
YAS GIRL.
But anyway, Keitra also enjoys the perks of her doppelgänger status, like crashing weddings and what not. She said: “I just got a message on Instagram from somebody who asked me to be in their wedding because their boyfriend loves Taylor Swift!”
Now we've got mad love for Keitra.
