COUNTRY singer Taylor Swift’s fans have been left devastated after it was revealed hundreds of fan mail letters addressed to the singer were found unopened and dumped in a recycling bin.

The unopened mail was discovered by a teen in a neighbourhood in south Nashville.

The singer’s spokesperson Paula Erickson has denied that Swift or any of her team were aware the mail was being dumped.

She told a local TV station: "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.

“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.

"We sincerely appreciate Channel 2 bringing this to our attention, and we plan to immediately pick up the mail."
