Madonna has insisted she's a huge fan of singing sensation Taylor Swift.

The pop icon admires the "pretty dresses" and "catchy pop songs" that Taylor encompasses and admits that her tunes often get stuck in her head.
Speaking to Australia's Today show, Madonna explained: "It's good to have princesses [of pop]. It means there's lots of pretty dresses around.
"I like Taylor Swift. I think she writes some really catchy pop songs. I can't get them out of my head."
Thrilled by the comment, Taylor took to her Tumblr page to write: "Thanks now I'm dead."
Meanwhile, Madonna had recently wrote about the leak of an early version of her new album 'Rebel Heart' when it leaked online, saying it was the "ultimate violation".
She added: "To have your work taken before you're finished and put out into the world for people to hear and judge and experience... I can't begin to tell you how betrayed I felt."
Earlier this month a man was arrested in Tel Aviv for "breaking into" Madonna's computer, and the singer subsequently expressed her relief at the good news.
On Facebook she wrote: "I am profoundly grateful to the FBI, the Israeli Police investigators and anyone else who helped lead to the arrest of this hacker. I deeply appreciate my fans who have provided us with pertinent information and continue to do so regarding leaks of my music. Like any citizen, I have the right to privacy.
"This invasion into my life -- creatively, professionally, and personally remains a deeply devastating and hurtful experience, as it must be for all artists who are victims of this type of crime."
