Hope noted, "As soon as my husband goes away, I listen to Taylor Swift. That’s just when I get my little fill — just a little fill, just a couple of songs, get it out of my system, and then it’s done."

She disclosed the information after reading a comment from a listener, who said that they listen to "all the tunes" their partner detests while they aren't around.
