Canadian pilot Michael Callan died in a plane crash in Nashville three weeks ago, when it was discovered that he listed Taylor Swift as his next of kin.

According to the Tennessean,the Federal Aviation Administration claims that the 45-year-old pilot listed Taylor Swift as his next of kin, but no one from Swift's security team has ever heard of the man.

"The first we heard of this was when the appropriate authorities contacted Taylor's management about the crash," Paula Erickson, Swift's publicist reported. "Taylor does not know this person."

Callan's plane crashed on October 29 at the Nashville International Airport, which was 500 miles from his intended destination. Although the details of the crash are unknown, his plane circled the airport for over two hours before he tried to land the Cessna 172R.

Fox News reports that the 23-year-old "Red" singer lives in a three bedroom duplex in Nashville. Swift recently won the Nashville Songwriters Association International's Songwriter/Artist of the Year for the sixth year.
