Taylor Swift recently tackled rumors suggesting that her music career might come to a halt following her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The speculation arose shortly after Swift revealed her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” which was released on October 3.
In a recent interview with BBC Radio 2, Swift reacted to questions about the implications that her upcoming marriage could mark the end of her recording and music-making journey.
Host Scott Mills asked, “Taylor, don’t tell me this is your last album?” to which Swift expressed her confusion and disbelief at the notion.
Mills noted that fans seemed worried about the potential of Swift stepping back from music after marriage and potentially starting a family.
Swift responded emphatically, referring to the insinuation as a “shockingly offensive thing to say,” emphasizing that marriage is not a reason for someone to abandon their career.
She clarified that getting married does not equate to quitting one’s job, stating, “That’s not why people get married, so that they can quit their job.”
Mills acknowledged that the fans were acting out of concern, hinting that the rumors likely stemmed from a place of panic among her fanbase.
Swift agreed, mentioning that sometimes “they love to panic.”
Despite the rumors, Swift assured her fans that marriage would not slow her down, particularly because of the strong support she receives from Kelce regarding her music career.
She expressed appreciation for her fiancé, stating, “I love the person that I am with because he loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music.”
One of the highlights of her relationship with Kelce, according to Swift, is their shared passion for their respective professions.
She elaborated, saying that their careers are intertwined in a unique way, despite the obvious differences.
In her words, “We both, as a living, as a job, as a passion, perform for three-and-a-half hours in NFL stadiums … to entertain people.”
For her, being in those stadiums is about performing in a dressing room, while for him, it’s about practicing in a locker room.
Swift made a clear distinction: “For him, it’s practice. For me, it’s rehearsal. For him, it’s a game. For me, it’s a show.”
The duality of their experiences in these stadiums connects them in a way, as they both work hard to entertain fans.
Swift also noted how competition between them is fun and supportive, rather than harmful.
As she puts it, they are “both competitive in fun ways, not in ways that eat away at us, but just like, we just love it.”
The promotion for her album “The Life of a Showgirl” continues, with Swift appearing on multiple media platforms, including “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and potentially making a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” as her friend Sabrina Carpenter performs.
A representative for Swift did not provide a comment following her latest interview.
