JAKARTA - Former One Direction member, Niall Horan, has openly revealed his most dreamed-of musical ambition, which is to collaborate with world pop megastar, Taylor Swift.

The 32-year-old singer placed Swift at the top of the list of musicians he most wanted to invite to the recording studio in the near future.

The big desire was expressed directly by Horan on the sidelines of the Capital's Summertime Ball held at Wembley Stadium, London, England, recently.

Besides Swift, the talented American singer and songwriter, Gracie Abrams, is also a priority name that he wants to work with.

"I really like Gracie Abrams or Taylor Swift. I don't know how much of that might be realized, but working with both of them would be something really amazing," Horan said in an interview with BANG Showbiz backstage at Capital's Summertime Ball.

However, Niall admitted that he was still overwhelmed by his doubts and did not know the right strategy to convince Taylor Swift to be willing to collaborate with him.

Furthermore, the singer who has just released his fourth solo studio album talked about some sacred objects that he must carry and must not be left at home during the tour.

"Doing a world tour and carrying my golf clubs are two things that go hand in hand. Those things always have to go with me. It's a death penalty," he said.

Not only sports equipment, the comfort of resting inside the tour bus that runs between cities is also a major concern for this musician born on September 13, 1993. He always carries personal sleeping equipment to maintain the quality of his rest so that it remains maximum before going on stage.

"I always carry a personal pillow to put on the bunk bed in the tour bus, it's very crucial for me. In addition, I also carry a thick blanket that always reminds me of the warmth at home," he added.

Of the many countries he has visited, Japan is the destination he misses the most because of its unique culture and culinary delights. However, he also admitted that he really enjoyed every moment of his appearance when visiting Australia and spent a lot of time in the United States.
