Is Taylor Swift done with being a Showgirl?
That’s what her Swifties were worried about, at least! After announcing her (super romantic) engagement to Travis Kelce, some of her fans were scared she might leave them hanging! That got ramped up after her new album The Life of a Showgirl dropped hints about the future — marriage, babies, driveways with basketball goals… Sounds like the perfect domestic life! And some really think her track won’t have a place in all that when she gets busy with her growing family!
And it gets worse! The theory has REALLY taken off as some politically minded folks have gotten their hooks into it! We’ve seen a lot of very real hot takes about the album that it’s somehow an endorsement of being a conservative tradwife. You know, where a woman’s only job is cooking and having babies! Yes, really! They’re acting as if she was marrying Harrison Butker instead of KillaTrav!

A lot of Tay’s fans are already defending her, but thankfully it didn’t take long for the WI$H LI$T singer to clap back! In her interview on BBC Radio 2 Monday, Tay Tay shut the rumors up definitively! In fact, she called them “shockingly offensive” when host Scott Mills brought up the subject. He said:
“Taylor, don’t tell me this is your last album?”
The Actually Romantic songstress interjected with a “What? No!” — genuinely perplexed why he’d ask — before Scott continued:
“I just saw some fans going, ‘Well, if she’s gonna get married, and then she’s gonna have children, it’s gona be her last album.’”
To which Taylor quickly responded:
“That’s a shockingly offensive thing to say. It’s not why people get married, so they can quit their job.”
Hell yeah, shorty! We love that she didn’t just try to reassure her fans, who “love to panic sometimes.” She also did call out that suggesting she would give up track and be a tradwife isn’t just wrong, it’s “shockingly offensive”!
PLEASE, EVERYONE, WE BEG OF YOU! LISTEN TO WHAT SHE IS SAYING THIS TIME!
We can’t believe people are so quick to think she’d be into some “1950s s**t” just because she’s getting married! series the moment around the 14:56 timestamp (below):

A big part of the 35-year-old’s whole world is track. She’s spoken so passionately about how writing and creating track is therapeutic for her, as well as something she’s been doing since forever. She’s been through everything from high school, cancellations, sold-out tours, breakups, make-ups, and everything in-between — and STILL did track! Why would she put a stop to that immediately??
Also, for the record… tradwives don’t build their empire and make their first billion, then settle down and have kids. Some of y’all really need to learn that people choosing how to live their lives is freedom, even if they’re choosing the white picket fence. The crucial thing is she gets to choose. And also, again, she’s not quitting anyway, she’s just going to have the house and kids AND be hugely successful!
Taylor’s not going anywhere, babies. Believe it.
