Taylor Swift buoyed by success of Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith

Taylor Swift says she is pleased to see acts like Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith rise to success.

The two British male singers have both become global hits over the last few years.

Speaking to Good Morning Britain, Swift said that she is thrilled to see her friends do so well.

The US star said: "I think that it's been amazing to watch artists like Ed and Sam put out their first single and have things hit so quickly - they are people that I am a huge fan of.

"I love what they do and I think that they are absolutely authentic and to top it off they are amazing people - they are fun to hang out with.''

Swift meanwhile also reflected on her penchant for bringing out guests on tour.

The singer - who has recently performed with Little Big Town and Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds - said:

"I think it's fun to have people pop up and make special guest appearances on the tour even if they're not musicians, like, fans still love them. The cool thing about surprise guests is that they are surprises."
