Taylor Swift Has Confirmed That This Album Will Not Be Her Last, Despite "Getting Married And Wanting Kids," And That The Idea Is Shockingly Offensive
Taylor went on the radio to speak with Scott Mills, a host in the UK and the following conversation just came up:
Scott: Taylor, don't tell me this is your last album.
Taylor: What? No.
Scott: I just saw some fans going, "Well, she's going to get married and then she's going to have children and then she's going to be the last album.”
Taylor: It's a shockingly offensive thing to say (Taylor laughs)
Scott: Absolutely. It is not the last album.
Taylor: It's not why people get married.
Scott: No, exactly!
Taylor: So that they can quit their job. It's also like music for me is…
Scott: I think the fans were just panicking.
First of all, I hate this conversation. Not Scott for bringing it up; I actually am glad he did so she could announce how bizarre it is to think that just because she isn't depressed living in misery, and is entering a new chapter of her life, that she won't work anymore. Bro, WHAT? What a stupid fucking thing to consider. This isn't just some girl looking for a man to pay the bills, this is Taylor Fucking Swift. Be real. This 1950's shit you want from her - SORRY BOZOS!!!!
Of course she's offended. I know that some people talking about this are making jokes - like, yea, wouldn't we all run off into the sunset with our Hall of Fame football husbands and billions of dollars, hypothetically? Of course. But that isn't reality - that's vacation! Women all over the world are both in loving relationships with families, AND work their asses off. Not to mention, this is Taylor's creative outlet! What, is she just going to channel all of this genius into her Sourdough until the end of time? I don't think so!
This is why she only trusts the most loyal of her besties with the REAL stuff going on in her life:
Scott: So you were doing this while you were on the tour, so you'd do a three hour live show, then you'd pop to Sweden and record an album. And nobody blabbed. It stayed secret. How big is the circle of trust? How do you manage to keep that secret?
Taylor: My friends don't rat. They do not rat.
Scott: Clearly.
Taylor: And you can tell by the amount of stories about me that are out there that are absolutely not true, because all of my friends had heard the music a year ago. They know about my life. They know what's going on. They do not snitch. It is phenomenal. I've got a really good circle of friends. It takes a while to get there.
Scott: You have chosen your friends well.
Taylor: Well, thank you! I feel so proud about that. But yeah, my friends know everything just like anybody's friends know everything. And they, the thing is that they just don't.
Scott: So the label knew and your friends knew?
Taylor: The label didn't know at all. Until we had, until the record was done and we had made and we'd shot all of the art, we'd done everything, we do keep that close to the vest because, you know, I think it's fun to surprise them, honestly, it's really fun.
Scott: Yeah, I bet it is.
Oh, to be the secret keeper for Taylor Swift! They're a lucky bunch and we're lucky she has them. Nothing in life is more important than a trustworthy group of besties!
