While recycling newspapers near her home in south Nashville this past weekend, Kylee Francescan] stumbled over a find in a dumpster that could break hearts the world over: hundreds of fan letters addressed to Taylor Swift, many of them unopened.

"I didn't know if they were stolen, discarded. So I threw them in a box. And I'm like, 'Somebody needs to let Taylor know.'"

Apparently, letters addressed to the star frequently show up at an address on Main Street in Hendersonville, Tennessee -- a P.O. box in a strip mall -- where a rep for the star frequently picks up the caches of correspondence. It's not known why these particular letters wound up in the dumpster, but Paula Erickson, a rep for the star, says she wants to get to the bottom of it.
