Legendary radio host Ken Bruce has acknowledged that he is not rushing to play any of Taylor Swift’s songs on his program.

About Ed Sheeran, nobody makes that claim. At the time, she asserted, “No one says that about Bruno Mars,” and went on, “I have a really strict personal policy that I never name names.” Hence, anyone claiming that a song is
The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor’s eleventh studio album, was released earlier this year. It is commonly believed that the record was influenced by her breakups with Matty Healy and Joe Alwyn.
She is currently touring the world on her record-breaking Eras tour, which will make a comeback to the UK later this month with a series of performances at London’s storied Wembley Stadium.
