Pet Shop Boys star Neil Tennant says Taylor Swift has 'no stand out hits' as he questions the singer's popularity after the release of her new album


The 68-year-old said: 'She fascinates me as a sort of phenomenon because she is so popular.'

Pet Shop Boys lead vocalist and 80s icon, Neil Tennant, is not convinced by Taylor Swift, 34, and argued she has no stand-out hits such as Micheal Jackson’s Thriller and Billie Jean (pictured in June 2022) Previous albums have referenced the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles and Taylor Lautner but her latest project makes thinly veiled references to her six-year-long relationship with Joe Alwyn and her brief fling with the 1975 frontman Matty Healy. Tennant met his musical partner Chris Lowe, 64, randomly in a hi-fi shop on London’s King’s Road in 1981 and they’ve remained dedicated to holding pop to a higher standard ever since.
