Swift Confirms Engagement, Defends Career, Rules Out Space

Taylor Swift appeared on BBC Radio 2 with Scott Mills to promote The Life of a Showgirl, her 12th studio album released last week. She firmly rejected a circulating fan theory that she would stop making music after marrying Travis Kelce, calling that suggestion shockingly offensive and saying Kelce supports her continuing to make music. The couple announced their engagement on Aug. 26. Swift also said she has no interest in space travel, describing the idea as cold, scary and unnecessary. Reports said the interview and engagement rekindled discussion about Swift’s past relationship with Joe Alwyn, and that Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole, has faced a wave of negative social‑media comments and is avoiding direct messages to protect her mental health.
