Taylor Swift and Liam Payne for Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball

Taylor Swift, Liam Payne and more will perform at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball on Sunday December 10.
The 27-year-old pop megastar releases her hotly-anticipated sixth studio album ‘Reputation’ on November 10, and will no doubt treat her fans – known as Swifties – to songs from the record at the music event, which is sponsored by Coca-Cola, at London’s The O2 arena next month.
Also joining the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ hitmaker on the Sunday is One Direction’s Liam Payne, who can’t wait to share the same stage as bandmate Niall Horan who is performing the night before.
Speaking to Roman Kemp on Capital FM on Tuesday morning (07.11.17), the ‘Bedroom Floor’ singer said: "It feels amazing to be part of the Jingle Bell Ball this year, it’s going to be really great.
"I have done it a lot of times, I’m a regular you could say! I’m one of the regulars which I love, it’s great. I can’t wait to get out there and obviously I have some new great songs to perform."
Asked if he’ll be catching up with the ‘Slow Hands’ hitmaker backstage, Liam said: "We did a gig in America a while ago and watching each other perform is a really nice thing, you want to get up and join in! He’s doing great, he’s gone for his style of music which I absolutely love, super chilled, super relaxed so I can’t wait to get out there and watch him and I’m sure there will be a bit of hanging out and fun backstage."
The Chainsmokers, Louisa Johnson, Stefflon Don, Mabel, James Hype and Matt Terry, Irish pop rock group The Script and ‘Came Here For Love’ DJ Sigala are also set to perform on the Sunday (10.12.17).
Meanwhile, on the Saturday (09.12.17), Rita Ora will grace the stage, with Major Lazer, Dua Lipa, Craig David also on the star-studded bill along with Jax Jones, James Arthur, Jonas Blue and Anne Marie.
