Dead pilot unknown to Taylor Swift leaves everything to her

A pilot, who mysteriously crashed the plane he was flying 800 kilometres from his planned destination, has left everything he owned to Taylor Swift, it has been revealed.

Michael Callan’s single-engine Cessna plane crash-landed in thick fog at Nashville airport where it lay undiscovered on the runway for up to seven hours, News.com.au reported.

Callan’s plane took off from the Canadian town of Windsor on a short 50-kilometre hop to nearby Pelee Island, but veered wildly off its route, crossing the US border and heading south until it reached Nashville – which also happens to be Swift’s hometown.

According to The Tennessean, the 45-year-old Canadian circled Nashville airport for two and a half hours without coming to the attention of authorities before crashing.

As investigators discovered that the pilot had listed the ‘Love Story’ hitmaker as his next of kin, who has reportedly had never heard of the dead man.
