- Taylor Swift used tsyt.ink as a redirect domain for QR codes linked to her YouTube shorts teasing 'Fortnight'.
- The domain tsyt.ink was only registered for one year, allowing the author to claim it after expiration.
- Bit.ly was responsible for the QR code campaign, but failed to secure the domain long-term.
- The author repurposed tsyt.ink into a Taylor Swift link shortener for songs and albums.
- Security risks highlighted: QR codes can lead to malicious sites if domains are hijacked.
- The author encourages Swifties to use the new link shortener and promises to maintain it.
