“I said to him, ‘I want to be as proud of an album as I am of the Eras Tour.’ And he was like, ‘Do you understand what kind of pressure that is?’”: Taylor Swift on how she threw down the creative gauntlet to Max Martin for new album The Life Of A Showgirl

Taylor Swift and Max Martin.

Given that it was conducted by her boyfriend and his brother, Taylor Swift’s interview with NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce on their New Heights podcast was never going to be the toughest of her career, but it still managed to deliver some big revelations.

Swift’s appearance marked the start of her doubtless all-encompassing marketing campaign for her upcoming 12th album The Life of a Showgirl. Teased earlier this week, we now know that this will be released on 3 October.
