The Little More Time singer says The Fate of Ophelia hitmaker is top of his list of artists he wants to record a song with, as well as American singer/songwriter Gracie Abrams.
Although Taylor – who once dated his One Direction bandmate Harry Styles – is top of his wish list, Niall, 32, isn’t sure how he would go about convincing her to get in the studio with him.
When asked who his dream collaborators are, he answered: “I love Gracie Abrams or Taylor, I don’t know how doable that is, but those two would be great.”
Niall has just released his fourth solo studio album Dinner Party and is heading out on a world tour in September in support of the record.
The former One Direction member is a veteran of life on the road now, and he has some tour essentials that he won’t leave home without.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard on Saturday (06.06.26), he said: “Touring and my golf clubs go hand-in-hand, they have to come with me, they’re a definite.
“I have my own pillow in the bunk on the bus, that is very important. And a duvet that reminds me of one from home.”
Niall began touring with One Direction in 2011 and he still loves jetting around the globe performing for his fans.
The End of an Era singer loves to visit one country more than any other because he just loves the culture and the cuisine.
He said: “I love going to Japan, I love the culture, the people, the food. The food is number one. Japan is good.
“I love going to Australia and I spend a lot of times in the States, America is great.”
Niall was among of host of artists to perform to 80,000 fans at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Other acts to step on stage included Take That, Jason Derulo, Bebe Rexha, Lola Young, Fatboy Slim, Robyn, December 10 and Sienna Spiro.

The trio, Alesha Dixon, Sabrina Washington and Su-Elise Nash, delivered an epic set of the band’s nostalgic hits, including Why?, One Night Stand, All I Want and Scandalous to the sold-out crowd.
Speaking about the surprise performance, Alesha said: “Surprise! What a way to return, on a stage like Wembley Stadium and as the Barclaycard Out of the Blue performer! After 20 years, looking out to see the crowd enjoying our songs was magical. The energy was insane!”
Sabrina added: “This was the best welcome back to the stage! We have missed performing together so much and it just feels so right to be back celebrating the music we created. Having an audience of over 80,000 people of all ages sing along to Scandalous was a memory I’ll never forget.”
