She also offered Mills a "window into the psyche," adding that her wedding and the release of her album were currently occupying her mind at the moment.When Mills asked her if The Life of a Showgirl was intended to be her last album, Swift instantly rejected that notion. The BBC radio host further explained that he had seen some fan theories positing that Swift might be retiring from music after her marriage, to which the singer responded:“It’s a shockingly offensive thing to say. It’s not why people get married, so they can quit their job. Oh, I know they [her fans] love to panic sometimes, but it’s like I love the person that I am with because he [Travis Kelce] loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music."According to NME, Taylor Swift further added that her fiancé was not the type of person to be upset about her music career, saying:“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. There’s no point in time where he’s gonna be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making the music’."Pop Crave @PopCraveLINKTaylor Swift shuts down theories that she’ll stop making music after getting married:“It’s a shockingly offensive thing to say.
