Pop superstar Taylor Swift recently opened up about her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce during her appearance on *The Graham Norton Show*. She revealed that Travis surprised her with a memorable proposal in August, right after they recorded his *New Heights* podcast.

### Wedding Plans on Hold for Album Promotion
Taylor appeared on the show in a stunning black bejeweled mini dress, proudly displaying her engagement ring. However, she emphasized that her main focus remains on promoting her new album *The Life of a Showgirl* before diving into wedding planning.
“I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning. I think it will be fun to plan,” she said.
The album was officially released last Friday to widespread acclaim.

### *The Life of a Showgirl*: A Secret Passion Project
Swift also revealed that *The Life of a Showgirl*, featuring 12 tracks including a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, was a secret passion project. It helped her endure the physical strain of last year’s Eras Tour.
“Last year on the tour I was physically exhausted, sick, and worn down, so to spark me up I had the album as a secret passion project behind the scenes. It stopped me from hitting a wall,” she explained.

### Artistic Growth and Confidence
Reflecting on her artistic evolution, Taylor shared her new perspective on songwriting and performance.
“In recent years, I have a different perspective and like storytelling at a little bit of a distance, so it isn’t like doing a complete autopsy of myself. I think my wheelhouse is bigger now,” she said. “I feel I can do anything now while running in heels. I am confident to write higher choruses, jump an octave, and do falsetto stuff.”

### Finally Owning Her Master Recordings
Taylor also spoke candidly about achieving a longtime dream—purchasing the master recordings of her back catalog.
“A lifelong dream came true. I was able to buy my entire back catalog,” she said. “I don’t respond to stuff generally, but not owning it really pissed me off. I didn’t think I should be given it—I was happy to pay and at a premium. I’m glad I spoke publicly about it and my fans got behind it and championed it.”
