Swift, who currently dates English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, is keen to be included on guest lists for the Prince’s royal state visit to the US next month, according to British newspaper The Sun.

A source said: "Taylor’s desperate to get her name added on to the VIP lists of stars being lined up to meet Harry. She loves everything about him - especially his ginger hair and English accent"

Swift has previously dated actors Jake Gylllenhall and Taylor Lautner, plus One Direction singer Harry Styles and John F Kennedy descendent, Conor Kennedy.

Prince Harry is thought to have a ‘type’ - blondes - and perhaps Swift does, too. Sheeran has told how he was mistaken for the prince by Harry’s own cousins Beatrice and Eugenie, while performing at a wedding in the Caribbean.

The prince already has meetings lined up with other US celebrities, including Vanessa Hudgens, Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence at parties in Washington and New York.

Swift will be taking her 'Red' tour to Washington in May, with Sheeran as her support act. They also sing together in the show.
