Ken Bruce, a radio presenter, recently received backlash after making remarks about Taylor Swift during an interview with The Mail On Sunday. Bruce, who now hosts a show on Greatest Hits radio, said he would only play Swift’s songs when she writes something that isn’t about her ex-boyfriends.

Bruce went on to say that his core audience is older and that his radio show focuses on music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. He added that they do play some songs from the 2000s and 2010s, but only from the notable artists. The comments caused an uproar amongst Swifties, who accused Bruce of being out of touch and misogynistic.
Swift recently described the experience of pulling a crowd of 50,000 outside of her Eras Tour in Munich as “magical”.
