Shockingly Offensive: Taylor Swift Slams Rumors She’ll Quit Music After Marriage, Calling Them “Shockingly Offensive”

The singer, who is engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce, released her 12th studio album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ on Friday, Oct. 3

Taylor Swift is setting the record straight

During an appearance on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, host Mills, 51, asked the “Opalite” singer, 35, about some of her fans saying they think her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, is her last and that she will retire from making music once she and fiancé Travis Kelce tie the knot.

Taylor, don’t tell me this is your last album?” Mills asked.

“What? No,” Swift responded, to which Mills explained, “I just saw some fans going, ‘Well, she’s going to get married and then she’s going to have children and then she’s going to be the last album.’ ”

Swift laughed, noting that the sentiment is “a shockingly offensive thing to say.”

“It’s not why people get married,” she continued. “So that they can quit their job. It’s also like music for me is…”

“I think the fans were just panicking,” Mills added.

Oh, I know they love to panic sometimes, but it’s like 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,” Swift explained.

That’s the coolest thing about Travis, like he’s so, he is so passionate about what he does, that me being passionate about what I do, it connects us. There’s no point in time where he’s gonna be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making the music. The music thing that I signed up for that I knew you love, I thought you were gonna stop doing that.’

The pop superstar went on to share that it is “the most fun thing in the world to be able to support each other” despite the pair’s different career paths. She also pointed out the similarities in her job as a musician and 35-year-old Kelce’s as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

We both, as a living, as a job, as a passion, perform for three and a half hours in NFL stadiums,” she said. ‘We both do three and a half hour shows to entertain people. When I’m in those stadiums, it’s a dressing room, but when he’s in those exact same stadiums, it’s a locker room.”

For him, it’s practice. For me, it’s rehearsal. For him, it’s a game. For me, it’s a show. We just call them different things. It’s a very similar thing. We both have teams,” she went on. “And we’re both competitive, like in fun ways, not in ways that eat away at us, but just like we just love it.”

Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce announced their engagement on Aug. 26, sharing photos from the beautiful backyard proposal on Instagram.

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show on Friday, Oct. 3, the day her latest album was released, Swift revealed that Kelce “crushed” the proposal. She also shared that her man hired her Eras Tour photographer to hide in some hedges he had had erected in his backyard to capture the moment he popped the question.

Mills also quizzed Swift on wedding planning and asked her which event would have the “biggest production value” between her Eras Tour and her forthcoming wedding.

“Oh my gosh, it’s, you know what? I’m doing one thing at a time. Right now I’m doing this,” Swift said, adding that she “doesn’t know” if she’s going to hire a wedding planner.

“I think that right now, I’m just like really stoked about the idea that I get to marry this person. And so I’m like, I’m gonna think about that and then I’m gonna put out this album and then I’m gonna think about other things after that.”

On its release day on Friday, The Life of a Showgirl became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day this year, reaching the milestone in less than 11 hour
