Katy Perry is already the most followed person on Twitter, but her 89million follower strong account drew even more attention today when it started sprouting extremely random Tweets.

The hack became apparent with the tweet: "haha follow @sw4ylol #hackersgonnahack," before a string of mildly funny, but mostly offensive comments followed.

"Miss u baby @taylorswift13," the hacker wrote to Katy's pop nemesis, Taylor Swift. We're surprised they didn't send a tweet in the direction of new beau Orlando Bloom.

Racist and homophobic tweets were also sent out, with one aimed at the YouTube personality Keemstar.

Meanwhile, back at alleged hacker @sw4ylol's page, an seemingly new Katy song titled 'Witness 1.3.' had been shared.

"Katy Perry witness (fresh leak) @katyperry," was written next to a link that no longer works.

The whole thing lasted about 15 minutes before Twitter/Katy and/or her PR team cottoned on and deleted the tweets.

Naturally, Twitter was abuzz with critique and suggestions for the hacker:
