Swifties may have noticed that there is now a Taylor Swift Bandcamp Page, but it's not at all what you'd expect. Instead of housing the pop star's discography, the website features music by Madison James, a member of the New Jersey rock bands Ogbert the Nerd and Not good with secrets.
There are currently three tracks on the page, titled “Taylor Swift 1,” “Taylor Swift 2,” and “Taylor Swift 3,” which were uploaded after James he tweeted jokingly last week about “starting a scream band” by getting taylorswift.bandcamp.com. stream the songs below.

In a new interview with Us weeklyJames (who uses they pronouns) explained that they didn't think much about starting the Bandcamp page under Swift's name.
“It doesn't have any bigger meaning other than a one-off joke I made and the way it turned into a larger discussion and something people are excited about has been both fun and interesting,” James said. “I mean no malice nor do I have any deeply held beliefs about the deeper meaning of any of this. “I'm just having a little fun to make my friends laugh and maybe learn to write better riffs.”
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time James has visited a famous musician's Bandcamp URL. they also own mychemicalromance.bandcamp.com, dualipa.bandcamp.com, daftpunk.bandcamp.comand nikkiminaj.bandcamp.comand each page allows them to explore different genres.
James is also preparing to release new music as part of No Good with Secrets. The band's second album, Other sidewill be released on May 10.
