Taylor Swift Reveals Travis Kelce’s Reaction to ‘The Life of a Showgirl’

Taylor Swift‘s biggest cheerleader is her fiance!

During an interview with BBC Radio 1 on Friday, Oct. 3, the 35-year-old pop superstar opened up about playing her new record, The Life of a Showgirl, for Travis Kelce and his reaction.

“I would play it for him as soon as I would come back from Sweden,” Swift told Greg James of working with Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback. “As soon as I got back I would play it. I knew that this was the kind of album that he was going to love the most, he’s so supportive of all it, but he’s a real vibes guy.”

Her appearance coincided with the release of her hotly anticipated 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl.

The “Shake It Off” singer first announced her new release at 12:12 am on Aug. 12 with Swift teasing, “Can I show you something?” in a video clip shared on Instagram. 

The Grammy winner revealed more details about her new record during her Aug. 13 appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his 37-year-old brother Jason Kelce’s podcast, New Heights. 

Excitedly sharing that the album would be called The Life of a Showgirl, Swift shared that her “upbeat” new record would reflect her life during her record-breaking Eras Tour.

As well as sharing the release date, Swift shared the orange and mint green-themed cover art, which features her lying in water wearing a bejeweled dress.

“This represents the end of my night,” she explained to Travis and Jason. “My show days are the same every single day; I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub,” although she conceded she didn’t generally wear a “bedazzled dress” in the tub!

As for the album itself, the musician shared that it is about “the life beyond the show,” and “everything that was going on behind the curtain.”

The “Champagne Problems” hitmaker went on to note that she wrote the album while on the road for her Eras Tour and would frequently return to Sweden to work with collaborators Max Martin and Shellback during her tour’s European stint. 

“I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating,” she said, adding that the whole process was “exhausting,” with Travis adding, “Literally living the life of a showgirl.”

Travis, 35, went on to note that the new record was “upbeat” and a “180-degree turnabout from her last album, The Tortured Poets Department.”

“Life is more upbeat,” Swift explained in response, smiling and looking at her now-fiancé, to whom she announced her engagement to on Aug.26, sharing the happy news that she and Travis were set to wed on Instagram.

“I’m so proud of it, and it just comes from, like, the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life, and so that effervescence has come through on this record,” Swift enthusiastically added, noting that The Life of a Showgirl is the record she’s been wanting to make for “a very long time.”
