Taylor Swift has countless Grammys and American Music Awards, but this new honor will be a first for the global pop star.
A newly discovered species of millipede was named after Swift, according to a study published in the journal ZooKeys. It's called Nannaria swiftae, or Swift twisted-claw millipede.Lead study author Derek Hennen is a self-proclaimed Swiftie and wanted to honor the singer. He was a doctoral candidate at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg at the time of the research.
"It's funny because when I started, it's like 'Wow! A new species!' but after we'd been at it a couple years, it's like 'We got another new species of millipedes, throw it in the pile,'" Hennen said. Millipedes are one of the more lesser-known creatures because they are not as flashy as butterflies or dragonflies, which is why so many new species are being discovered, he said.
