00:00Can't say I'm the biggest Swifty out here. I've definitely listened to a few bits and bobs of her music.
00:0622, I like that one. In the gym, Weirdly is really good. I mean, Leeds is a great city, it's an up-and-coming city.
00:13It's very similar to Manchester, so I don't see why you wouldn't. You know what I mean?
00:17Like, realistically, I'm sure she's got a lot of Swifty fans here. And yeah, I think it would obviously sell out.
00:24But yeah, definitely come to Leeds, Taylor. Big T, come on. You know you want to. Come down to Yorkshire.
00:29I wasn't a fan until probably last year when she released Cruel Summer. I really like that song.
00:38I like the bridge, like everybody else. But altogether, I wasn't that much of a Swifty.
00:45But I can be. And if she was to play in Leeds for the right price, I will come see her.
00:50I don't see why not, right? I mean, there's a lot of... I know I've got a lot of mates in Leeds who are big Taylor Swift fans.
00:55I certainly would be more intrigued to buy a ticket if she was playing in Leeds.
01:00I know the prices of tickets are quite steep for Taylor Swift, especially.
01:04But at the same time, I think it could potentially be worth it.
01:08I mean, she's one of the potentially the most successful female artists, especially like my generation.
01:16Big fan of Taylor Swift. Love a lot of her songs.
01:21And I would be... I don't see why she wouldn't play in Leeds, really.
01:25I don't think there's too many negatives for her playing in Leeds.
01:29But at the same time, I mean, it's probably up to her tour manager.
01:32And, you know, she'd probably not have too much of a say on it.
01:35But at the same time, why not? It's a big city.
01:39Tay Tay. I can be a fan. So, yeah. Get down to Leeds. We'll see you.
01:45Maybe not in the arena. Maybe in the bigger place.
01:48Because, you know, if you go see in the arena, the traffic in Leeds gets so bad.
01:53So maybe play somewhere else.
01:55Maybe the Leeds United Football Stadium. That would be a much better venue.
