Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are BFFs.

And now they have something unfortunate in common.

Gomez faced numerous death threats when her relationship with Justin Bieber first went public – and now Swift is undergoing the same disturbing treatment.

Taylor was spotted getting cozy with Harry Styles backstage at The X Factor on Thursday. Are they an item? It’s possible. Is hand-holding a valid excuse for threatening the life of a stranger?

We don’t believe so, but a few One Direction fans have taken to Twitter and posted such unsettling messages as:

  • “I’ll murder Taylor Swift. She will not date my Harry.”
  • “If u dating my harry, I kill u.”

We’re guessing/hoping these are empty threats, but come on people. Access to a keyboard does not give you an excuse to sound like a psychopath.
