POP star and American sweetheart Taylor Swift has revealed her deepest, darkest fear — and it’s a weird one.

The country-pop superstar tells all in a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres, revealing that her biggest fear in the world is sea urchins.

“The poor things are just minding their own business …” vegan animal lover Ellen told her guest.

“No they’re not! They’re like a GRENADE,” Swift countered. “They’re just sitting there waiting to completely injure you … You can’t see if a sea urchin’s right there, and then you step on one. It has barbs and it goes into whatever it touches. You have to go to the emergency room and have it surgically removed.

“You could lose your foot, you could lose your hand, you could lose your hand trying to get it off of your foot. I DON’T LIKE sea urchins.”

We sensed that, Swifty.

Ellen offered her guests some facts on the unassuming sea creatures to try and allay her deep-seated psychological terror:

“They can puncture and injure, causing swelling and redness. That’s not what you described. You just described losing your hand and your foot,” the talk show host informed.

“You could lose your hand and foot from swelling and redness,” Swift argued (we feel we should probably point out that Taylor Swift is not a qualified medical professional).

If a hysterical fear of death by sea urchin wasn’t enough, Taylor also shared her second-greatest fear with Ellen: being framed for murder.

“I’m scared off getting framed. They [no, we’re not sure who ‘they’ are either] could frame you for any crime you could go to jail for. Look at me, I wouldn’t survive in jail.

“I think it comes from — I could open up my phone at any time and see the most ridiculously untrue thing written about me. I could do nothing wrong, I could sit in my house with the cats all day, and there could still be an article about me buying a house in a place I’ve never been or dating a guy I’ve never met. Then you take it a step further, and in a nightmare world, it’s being framed for murder.”

We’re not conspiracy theorists, but this seems like the sort of thing you’d say in public to give yourself an alibi if you plan on murdering someone. Tay-Tay, we’re watching you.
