Taylor Swift received an unexpected visitor while updating her fans on her upcoming stadium tour.

The Shake It Off singer was telling fans about her plans for the stages when she takes her Reputation show round the world when she was interrupted by her mother’s dog Kitty.

In a video on her Instagram story, she said: “Hi, 12 days until tour. Basically I was thinking maybe today I would tell you a little bit about the stages.”

Swift then paused to say hello to her mother Andrea and became distracted as the huge dog began licking her face.

The singer can be heard saying: “It’s not a chew toy. It’s my face.”

She later resumed the video, saying: “On the tour there will be three stages.

“The reason why I want there to be three is because I want to be able to get to you as close as possible and see you guys.”

Her final video said: “This has been your 12 day update. Tomorrow, very surprisingly, there will be an 11 day update.

“Just numerically, I think that is what will happen next.”

The tour will kick off in Phoenix, Arizona, on May 8, arriving in the UK and Ireland in June.
