Taylor has inspired many people throughout her career but this has to be a new one. A new species of millipede was discovered by entomologist Derek Hennen, and look what his love for her made him do.

The name was inspired by Taylor's famously long and beautiful legs related to the millipede's genetics and crazy legs. According to NPR, Derek's favorite songs by Taylor Swift are "New Romantics," and "Betty."
