The viral campaign to get a Taylor Swift song to enter Triple J's Hottest 100 has turned ugly with fans of the pop star receiving death threats and being compared to the Islamic State. Eliza Day from Melbourne who helped kick start the campaign two weeks ago was targeted on her Instagram account on Thursday when a user told her: 'I hope you die a slow, painful death'. 'When I first saw those Instagram comments I just shrugged, turned Shake It Off on and danced around my house singing "haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate",' she told the Herald Sun.
