A Taylor Swift lookalike gets stopped for selfies wherever she goes - and now gets paid to appear as the popstar at parties and events.

Kelley Thrasher, 40, has been told she looks like Taylor Swift for more than a decade - thanks to her blonde hair, fringe and fondness of a bright red lipstick.

People would rush up to her in the street and ask for selfies and autographs, thinking she was the real deal.

She brushed off the comments about their similarities for years - but finally decided in June to accept invitations to appear at parties, to see what would happen.

After the first booking, more requests came flooding in - for children's parties, corporate events and karaoke shows.
