Notts County Owners Deny Taylor Swift Purchase Rumor

Rumors about the pop star purchasing the English football club surfaced from a spoof newspaper; Club owners Chris and Alex Reedtz dismiss the reports, leaving no room for doubt that the football team is not for sale, but invite a possible future collaboration with Swift.

• Notts County F.C. owners, Chris and Alex Reedtz, have issued a statement denying the rumors that pop star Taylor Swift was interested in buying the League Two soccer club.
• The initial reports stemmed from a spoof newspaper that suggested Swift may follow in the footsteps of Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who own English fourth-tier club Wrexham.
• Despite denying the rumors, the Reedtz brothers have not entirely ruled out a potential future collaboration with Swift, offering a symbolic gesture of goodwill by leaving a 'blank space' in the pre-match playlist for Swift's music.
• The denial of sale comes at a significant time for the club, which has seen recent success including a promotion to League Two and currently residing in second place in the league.
• The rumors have gained additional traction as Swift has been seen with Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham, in recent times.
