Culture secretary calls out Sky News presenters for attending Taylor Swift concert

The culture secretary called out Sky News presenters for attending Taylor Swift’s Wembley concert during a heated interview. Lisa Nandy appeared on the programme’s breakfast show, hosted by Kay Burley, on Wednesday (9 October). She denied reports that Labour “intervened” to provide a blue-light escort for the singer during her Wembley tour dates. The conversation then turned to a discussion over politicians attending the concert as Ms Burley confronted her over the prime minister going to the show twice. Ms Nandy replied: “Most of Sky News was at these events in the same boxes to be fair.” The Sky presenter asked: “Who from Sky was there?” “You were,” the culture secretary replied. Ms Burley responded: “I paid for my tickets. I paid for my tickets eight months earlier, so don’t say that.”
