Taylor Swift is shutting down speculation that she plans to hang up her guitar when she marries Travis Kelce.
In a Monday, October 6, interview with the U.K.’s BBC Radio 2, interviewer Scott Mills asked Swift, 35, about fans worrying that she’ll stop making music once she gets married.
“Don’t tell me this is your last album?” Mills asked the singer.
Swift responded, “What? No.”

Mills then said, “I just saw some fans going, ‘Well, she’s going to get married, and then she’s going to have children and [it’s going to be her last album].’”
The “Fate of Ophelia” singer swiftly shut down that idea.
“That’s a shockingly offensive thing to say. It’s not why people get married, so they can quit their job,” she said. “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.”
She continued, “That’s the coolest thing about Travis; he’s so passionate about what he does that me being passionate about what I do, it connects. There’s no point in time where he’s gonna be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making music.’ Imagine [him saying], ‘The music that I signed up for, that I knew you love, I thought you were going to stop doing that.’”
Swift also opened up about her dynamic with Kelce, 36, with whom she announced her engagement in August. The star said that despite their jobs being vastly different, there are also some similarities between her career as a pop star and his as a football player.

“It just is the most fun thing in the world to support each other, and the polarity of how different our jobs are,” she said. “But there’s a lot of similarities, too. We both as a living, as a job, as a passion, perform for three and a half hours in NFL stadiums. We both do three and a half hour shows to entertain people. … 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. We both have teams. It’s a very similar thing.”
Swift spoke to BBC Radio 2 to support her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which released on Friday, October 3, and has already broken records. Billboard reported on Saturday, October 4, that Swift’s 12th studio album sold an estimated 2.7 million copies within 24 hours of its release in the U.S.
