Singer Taylor Swift is reportedly insuring her legs for $40 million.

It is believed that the 25-year-old's team looked into how much her legs were worth in case anything happened during her routines.

"It seems like a ludicrous sum, but if something was to happen to her legs, Swift wouldn't be able to give her signature stage performances," said a source, reports mirror.co.uk.

"Her $200 million career would be in big trouble," added the source.

The singer, who had showed off her legs in a short suit at The Brit Awards last month, was believed to be "embarrassed" once she found out how much her legs were worth.

"She thought her legs were possibly worth a million. But $40 million shocked her. She's even a little embarrassed about it," said the source.

Her team is now said to be completing the paperwork in time for her world tour, which begins in May.
