Legendary radio presenter Ken Bruce refuses to play Taylor Swift songs

'I'll play her on my station when she writes something that isn't about her ex-boyfriends'

The 73-year-old, who presents a show on Greatest Hits Radio, said he will only consider playing Swift's music when she stops writing about her ex-boyfriends.

He told the Daily Mail: "All her songs are the same. I'll play her on my station when she writes something that isn't about her ex-boyfriends. Great radio songs have three beats and then they're straight into the song, not these long intros that she does."

This summer, the country was gripped by Swiftie fever as the popstar brought her record-breaking Eras tour to the British shores.

But whilst she's probably the most famous singer on the planet at the moment, she's not won over Bruce.

He pointed out that the core audience of his radio show is older, so he largely plays music from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

However, he did admit to occasionally playing clips of her songs as part of his hugely popular PopMaster quiz segment.

Bruce said: "For our audience, we do 70s, 80s and 90s music. We do early noughties and 2010s not very many but we expect people to know things from recent and current music, only the biggest names though."
