Speaking to the Hits Radio Breakfast Show team of Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr Taylor Swift talked Travis, her new album Life of a Showgirl, whether good friend Ed Sheeran would sing at her wedding, advice on touring from Stevie Nicks and preferring baking over doom scrolling...
Taylor Swift on her fiancé Travis Kelce:
‘He's a blast. He's just the most fun person, life of any party, even when it's just us. That’s the goal, isn't it? Find a best friend who you think is hot.’
Taylor Swift on whether Ed Sheeran will be performing at her wedding:
‘I mean it would be hard to keep him from it I think! That's the thing he's like 'I'm always being asked to sing at weddings' and you're like 'Ed if there's a stage you know that you'll be on it!' He knows what people want and he wants to give people what they want. That's the fun thing about our friendship is we both love performing and we love writing and we love singing. It's actually not that hard to talk either of us into performing at anything!'
Taylor Swift on The Life of a Showgirl:
‘One thing about this album that I think is really exciting is that oftentimes when I make a record there's like a lag time between when I made it and when it enters the world.
Like for example, my last album, Tortured Post Department, by the time that album came out, I was in a completely different point in my life. With this one I would say that this album is a complete and total snapshot of what my life looks like right now.'
Taylor Swift on life on the road with the Eras tour and advice from Stevie Nicks:
‘It was a blast, it was so fun but it was also so many other things - when you're on tour for two years and every night is a three and a half hour show. I think one of my favourite things like anyone, a mentor has said, Stevie Nicks always said, when it came to anything in her personal life, she was like, ‘just don't threaten my show’. Don't get sick, don't let any outside noise in to your head, focus on only this one thing.'
Taylor Swift on social media:
‘I am really not much of a scroller at all, I don't have the apps on my phone or else. It's really effective right? They know what I want to see and they're going to show it to me so I'd rather just spend like those hours doing something else or baking. I have a lot of hobbies and I didn't really have as many hobbies when I spent a lot of time scrolling. It's been so much fun mandating a different relationship with social media when there's so much of any type of opinion about me, it's like, don't put that in my brain.'
