There's some serious witchcraft happening on this woman from England's Instagram right now. Her name is Laura Cadman, she's a 20-year-old student from Newcastle, and she's 100 percent not Taylor Swift. Like, there's only one Taylor Alison Swift in this world; we know she's 27 years old, a pop star, and likes vodka–Diet Cokes. Laura Cadman has none of those tributes, and that's OK—not everyone can be Taylor Swift.

But look at this photo Cadman posted of herself on June 29, 2016:

If I didn't explicitly say this woman is not Taylor Swift, you'd absolutely think she's Taylor Swift. The resemblance is so strong that some magical sorcery must be afoot. The Sanderson Sisters, Hermione Granger, and those girls from The Craft obviously combined their powers 20 years ago to create a Swift twin so eerie that even people on Tumblr with handles like "~TaYlOr'S AnGel~" are shaking in their boots.

OK, fine, that's probably not what happened. Instead, Cadman is just another Swift doppelgänger, but she's arguably the most convincing one yet. In fact, Cadman is such a dead ringer for the "Gorgeous" singer that she's routinely mobbed—yes, mobbed—by fans.

Cadman spoke to The Mirror and recounted the time Swifties wouldn't leave her alone at the 1989 World Tour. "So many people approached me and asked for pictures…. I took pictures with a bunch of people and they were so cute," she said.

Not all the fan interactions were pleasant, though. One Swiftie literally chewed Cadman out because she felt deceived by her appearance. "She said she hated me because she thought I was Taylor, then heard me talk and realized I wasn't her," Cadman said. "She said that I shouldn't do that because it was tricking people, but this confused me because everyone at the concert was dressed up as Tay."

To be clear, that type of response is truly insane. Cadman can't control how she looks. She was born this way, and she says she doesn't intentionally try to mirror Swift. "Nothing prompted me to have this look. I am naturally blond, reasonably tall, and reasonably slim," she said. "The rest of my 'Taylor Swift look' just consists of classic red lipstick and eyeliner, which I personally think is the most flattering makeup on me."

Uncanny, right? Swift could've saved millions on CGI in the "Look What You Made Me Do" video had she just hired Cadman.
