Oct. 6, 2025, 1:11 PM EDTBy Rebecca CohenThe life of a showgirl is, and always will be, for Taylor Swift. Days after her latest album release, Swift addressed what she called an “offensive” fan rumor that implied she would be done recording and releasing new music after her impending nuptials to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The pair’s August engagement announcement followed closely behind Swift’s reveal on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast that her twelfth studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” would be released on Oct. 3. As part of the album’s promotion, Swift spoke with BBC Radio 2 host Scott Mills in an interview that aired on Monday, during which Mills asked her about the rumors. “Taylor, don’t tell me this is your last album,” Mills asked.The “Opalite” singer immediately looked confused, shaking her head. He clarified that he has seen fans discussing the possibility of the end of Swift’s music career, citing her upcoming marriage and a future that could include her having children. “That’s a shockingly offensive thing to say,” Swift responded. “That’s not why people get married, so that they can quit their job.” Mills clarified that he thinks “the fans were just panicking,” implying that the rumors actually came from a good place, and that her beloved Swifties were just fearful this would be the end of the music they know and love. “They love to panic sometimes,” Swift admitted. But slowing down after marriage is not in Swift’s cards, namely because she said her fiancé supports her in her career.”I love the person that I am with because he loves what I do and he loves how much I am fulfilled by making art and making music,” Swift said of Kelce. She added that one of the “coolest” things about him is that he, too, is “so passionate about what he does that me being passionate about what I do — it connects us.” “There’s no point in time where he’s going to be like, ‘I’m really upset that you’re still making music. The music thing that I signed up for, that I knew you love, I thought you were gonna stop doing that,'” Swift continued.She said that it’s the “most fun thing in the world” that she and Kelce can support each other in each of their larger-than-life careers, and noted the differences and similarities of what they do. “We both, as a living, as a job, as a passion, perform for three-and-a-half hours in NFL stadiums … to entertain people,” Swift said. “When I’m in those stadiums, it’s a dressing room. But when he’s in those exact same stadiums, it’s a locker room. For him, it’s practice. For me, it’s rehearsal. For him, it’s a game. For me, it’s a show,” Swift said. Even though they “call them different things,” both stars are surrounded by teams, making their careers “a very similar thing,” Swift said. She added that they’re both competitive “in fun ways, not in ways that eat away at us, but just like, we just love it.” Swift will continue her media tour for “Showgirl,” which has already broken records, on Monday night with an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Later this week, she will also join “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” Fans have speculated she’ll keep the NBC appearances alive with a surprise spot on “Saturday Night Live” when Sabrina Carpenter — who is featured on the album’s title track and is a good friend of Swift’s — performs double duty on Oct. 18.

Sept. 27, 2025, 6:00 AM EDTBy Denise ChowA small city in South Texas is scrambling to find alternative sources of drinking water as severe drought grips the region and threatens to dry up its main supply.The city of Mathis typically pumps its drinking water from Lake Corpus Christi, but worsening drought conditions are expected to plunge water levels too low to safely extract usable water, according to Mathis City Manager Cedric Davis.“It’s not that we’re running out of water or we’re going to be completely dry,” Davis said. “It’s going to be difficult to pull clear water out of the lake because we’ll be pulling up mud with the water.”All that mud could damage the city’s filtration and water treatment systems, he added. Mathis has a population of around 4,300 people, according to 2020 data from the U.S. Census Bureau.The situation in Texas highlights a growing problem in drought-prone parts of the country — and the world — as climate change alters precipitation patterns, intensifies drought and saps the availability of safe drinking water.In 2023, the city of New Orleans faced a drinking water crisis after abnormally low levels in the drought-stricken Mississippi River caused salt water to encroach upriver into water intake facilities.Last year, persistent drought and years of low rainfall pushed reservoirs in Mexico City to historically low levels, triggering a severe water shortage in the most populous city in North America.South Texas has been in the grip of a yearslong dry spell, with much of the region in “moderate” or “severe” drought, as classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor, which releases weekly color-coded maps to show the extent and intensity of drought nationwide.The unusually dry conditions have caused Lake Corpus Christi’s water levels to fall.“We’ve not had enough rain to replenish the lakes and reservoirs of South Texas,” Davis said, adding that several cities and smaller communities in the area are now having to look for emergency solutions.Davis said current projections suggest that the lake’s levels could be too low by late December. As such, the city is attempting to dig two emergency wells to keep drinking water flowing into Mathis.The project hasn’t yet broken ground, but Davis said he is hoping to fast-track the permitting process and leasing agreement with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. If all goes according to plan, digging could begin by the end of October, he said.“If everything matches up and we can get the wells in by the end of December, we’re going to be fine,” Davis said.Still, city officials are considering other backup measures just in case, including costly desalination plants and the possibility of treating and reusing wastewater.“We’re leaving no stone unturned,” Davis said.Denise ChowDenise Chow is a science and space reporter for NBC News.
