Greatest Hits Radio presenter Ken Bruce refuses to play Taylor Swift songs on his show until 'she writes something that isn't about her ex-boyfriends'


The 73-year-old broadcaster said that Ms Swift's songs had intros that were too long for radio, adding that her music was too young for his 'older' core audience.

The 73-year-old broadcaster took his PopMaster Quiz show from the BBC to Greatest Hits Radio last year and attracts 3.8 million weekly listeners. His comments come as the Shake It Off singer left the UK for the European leg of her $1 billion Eras Tour before she returns for five more shows at Wembley Stadium in August. But Mr Bruce has conceded only to playing very short clips of her music occasionally on his PopMaster Quiz show to maintain a variety of genres.
