5SOS on Taylor Swift: 'She's a strong female influence and guys like her because she's pretty'

Australian pop-punk band 5 Seconds Of Summer have revealed that they think Taylor Swift is a 'strong female influence' and has a global appeal that most artists would kill for

Speaking to reporters at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball over the weekend, the heartthrobs gave their opinions on Taylor Swift and confessed that she's a strong female artist who they have a lot of respect for:

"I think she started off appealing to one of the biggest markets in the world, which is country music and then transferred over to mainstream pop and stuff like that... she's a strong female influence as well and I think the girls like that. And guys like her because she's really pretty as well."

The lads also joked that in guitarist Michael Clifford's absence, they decided to ask Ed Sheeran to fill in as he has red-hair although he wasn't too excited about the suggestion: "Ed has red hair like Michael, so we would like him to join us on stage. We already asked him but he didn't respond positively."
