The statement read: “As sorry as we are to disappoint the Swiftes in our fanbase, we’re going to have to shake this story off,’ the owners responded,
“There’s certainly no bad blood between ourselves and Taylor but, at such an exciting time for us and the club, she surely couldn’t have believed in her wildest dreams that we would relinquish our control,
“We’ll leave a blank space in tomorrow’s pre-match playlist for a track from her newly re-released 1989 album as a gesture of gratitude for her interest.”
The oldest club in the UK took the joke a step further, as they posted an edited image of Taylor Swift donning a suit and holding the National League play-off trophy – a sight many fans would have been keen to see.
