The pop princess Rihanna has five look alikes like her all over the world. So, it was no surprise that Grammy award-winner Taylor Swift has one named Ashely Leechin.
The year 2022 has been great for the ‘folklore’ singer. She released her most awaited album ‘Midnights’ in October 2022. When the album was released, it broke digital records making it the most streamed album on Spotify. She also had ‘All Too Well’ short film released which was highly acclaimed. In 2023, during Grammy Awards, Taylor won the Grammy for the short film ‘All Too Well’ in the category ‘Best Music Video’. However, other than her accolade, there was parallel drama ongoing with her doppelganger.

One of the most hated Swifties on the internet is none other than her doppelganger Ashley Leechin. She has been a nurse in Nashville, Tennessee since she moved there in 2020. Leechin has garnered 1 million followers on the video platform app TikTok.
The Swiftie community has accused her of the transformation. Ashley will wear the exact same red lipstick like Swift and she has the same bob hair like her.
However, during the recent Grammy Awards 2023 ceremony, she was invited to attend the Grammys by Sweet High. On her TikTok, the influencer posted, “I have partnered with the Grammys. Yes, the 2023 Grammys—I am headed there Sunday”.
Ashley was excited to be a part of the grand music event sponsored by Sweet High. However, when she landed in Los Angeles to head to Crypto.com, she got the news that the brand informed her there are no tickets left.
The news disheartened Leechin. She said, “I feel like it was whiplash”. The brand told her that apart from lodging and flight tickets, everything will be handled. They told her that the ticket prices are as high as $10,000. Leechin said, “I was like, maybe I don’t need compensation. Maybe this is just an experience”.
The brand and the influencer negotiated a contract wherein she has to produce 31 video content for TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Ashley never signed the contract and insisted for a +1 with her during the red carpet event. But, Sweet High did not respond to her demand. Nevertheless, she flew down to LA with her husband only to find that she got her tickets rescinded.
