Taylor Swift Responds to Online Theories About Her Career
Taylor Swift is clearly not a fan of a certain online theory about how marrying Travis Kelce will hurt her career. The singer was asked during a BBC Radio 2 interview with Scott Mills about her record-breaking new album, and whether it would be her last after she got engaged to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
Addressing the Rumors
When asked if the new album would be her last, Swift replied, "What? No…" She seemed taken aback by the question. The interviewer explained that some fans were saying that she would get married, have kids, and then stop making music. Swift laughed and called the statement "shockingly offensive." She explained that people don’t get married to quit their jobs, and that for her, music is something that brings her fulfillment.
Support from Her Partner
Swift went on to say that she loves the person she’s with because he loves what she does and supports her passion for creating art and music. She said that Travis Kelce is passionate about his own work, and that this shared passion connects them. She also mentioned that there’s never a time when Kelce would ask her to stop making music, and that the two of them are both passionate about performing.
The Debate About Happiness and Creativity
The question also sheds light on the debate about whether Swift’s happier life is conducive to making great music. Some music critics and fans have wondered if Swift’s happiness would affect the quality of her music. Swift’s new album, however, has been praised as a significant step forward from her previous album, which was criticized for being too melancholic.
The Pressure to Create
Swift also talked about the pressure to create music, and how it can be affected by her personal life. She said that her last album was written during a time when she was miserable, but by the time it was released, she was happy. This made it feel strange to talk about the album, because she couldn’t identify with the person she used to be. She also mentioned that her new album, Showgirl, was written during a time when she was in a similar state of mind, which makes it feel more authentic.
Keeping the Album a Secret
Swift was also asked if she would keep the album a secret, even though she repeatedly flew to Sweden to record it with producers Max Martin and Shellback. She explained that her friends are loyal and don’t reveal her secrets, which is why there weren’t many stories about the album before its release.
The Album’s Success
Showgirl has broken several records since its release, selling 2.7 million copies on its first day and becoming the most streamed album on Amazon Music in a single day. This puts it on track to become the best-selling album of all time in a single week. Swift’s fans are clearly excited about the new album, and it’s clear that she’s still got what it takes to make great music.
