Sirius Radio Channeling Taylor Swift for One Month Starting Sunday as Tie-in to “Tortured Poets”

Share

This was something always coming but now it’s here.

Taylor Swift is getting her own channel beginning this Sunday, for a month. Of course it’s Channel 13, her favorite number.

The channel is a tie in to the launch of Swift’s new album, “Tortured Poets Department,” which drops later this month.

Swiftes will get all kinds of interview and historical information about Swift, her music, her life, and football.

Will the channel go beyond May 7th? If it pays for itself, I guess, there will be a sudden announcement of a continuation. Makes sense. Meantime, I’m paying $25 a month for Sirius. Yikes! But now I couldn’t live without it. Regular radio — FM mostly — is a massive disappointment. AM Radio, I’m addicted to, particularly here in New York.
