Taylor Swift made it clear she isn’t planning to become a tradwife.
The Grammy-winning singer and billionaire, whose 12th studio album dropped on Friday, shot down rumors that she’s considering quitting the industry after she gets married to Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
The throwback question came from BBC Radio 2 host Scott Mills, who said during an interview, “Taylor, don’t tell me this is your last album.”
Swift responded, “What? No.”
Mills continued, “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 called the assumption “shockingly offensive.”
“It’s a shockingly offensive thing to say,” Swift said, laughing during the interview. “It’s not why people get married, so they can quit their job.”
Swift continued that she knows her fans “love to panic sometimes,” but they can rest assured that The Life of a Showgirl, her follow-up to last year’s The Tortured Poets Department, will not be her swan song — or swan album, as the case may be.
“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,” she said.
She and Kelce announced their engagement in August, setting the Internet on fire with speculation on everything from her custom-designed ring to whether she’s stepping away from the spotlight. Swift has also said she has no intention of touring again anytime soon after her record-breaking Eras tour, which set off more questions.
But she insisted that her fans have nothing to be concerned about once she’s a married woman.
“That’s the coolest thing about Travis – like, he is so passionate about what he does, that me being passionate about what I do, it connects us,” she said. “There’s no point in time where he’s gonna be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making the music.’”
