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.

Puerto Rican musical sensation Bad Bunny returned to hosting duties amid conservative outcry at his selection as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show performer.The cold open took viewers to Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s meeting Tuesday with senior military officers from across the globe at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia.Hegseth, played by “Weekend Update” co-host Colin Jost, was introduced by a colleague saying, “You will now be yelled at by a former Fox News host.”Jost’s Hegseth criticized the nation’s military branches for being out of shape. “Our military will now have the same rules as any good frat party: No fat chicks. And if you’re a fat dude, goddamn it you better be funny as hell,” he said.Trump, reprised by James Austin Johnson, said he showed up to the sketch to supervise the show.”I’m just here keeping my eye on ‘SNL,’ making sure they don’t say anything too mean about me,” he said, a seeming reference to Jimmy Kimmel’s briefly being taken off the air.Noting last season’s 50th anniversary celebrations, Johnson’s Trump said, “They should have called it at 50, right? So sad to see something get old and confused, and yet still demand your constant attention.”The 51st season, he said, was “off to a rough start.””Seventeen new cast members and they got the ‘Update’ guy doing the cold open,” Trump said.The night’s host, Bad Bunny, addressed the controversy over his scheduled performance at the 2026 Super Bowl.”I’m very happy and I think everyone is happy about it, even Fox News,” he said during the show’s opening monologue. The line was followed by a quick cut of Fox News hosts and commentators each saying one word that, in a sentence, stated, “He should be the next president.”Bad Bunny’s scheduled halftime performance has drawn the attention of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He is a U.S. citizen. Some right-wing commentators have criticized the NFL’s halftime curation by noting Bad Bunny performs predominantly in Spanish, the country’s second most-spoken language.The performer, who recently wrapped up a residency in Puerto Rico, chose not to include U.S. locations for this concert tour this year, explaining in September that he feared they would draw immigration agents.Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Friday on a podcast that ICE agents would be “all over” the Super Bowl, scheduled for Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California.During the monologue, Bad Bunny included some words in Spanish on his choice as halftime performer, words he dedicated to “all the Latinos and Latinas in the entire world and here in the United States.””More than being an accomplishment of mine, it’s an accomplishment for everybody, demonstrating that our mark and our contribution to this country will never be able to be removed or erased by anybody,” he said in Spanish.He added, in English, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.”Bad Bunny’s hosting duties Saturday marked a milestone for the show. He helped “SNL” wrap its 50th season by appearing as its musical guest, and NBC said it was the first time an artist had been billed on the last show of a full season and the first show of the next.NBC said Bad Bunny first appeared on “SNL” in a Kenan Thompson sketch about baseball legend David Ortiz in 2020 before performing music on the show the next year.The artist also connected with global K-pop fans. A sketch about friends catching up at a restaurant after years apart featured a surprise cameo from some of the singing stars of “KPop Demon Hunters,” the hit animated Netflix movie about a K-Pop group who are undercover demon hunters. They performed part of their song “Golden,” which has topped Billboard charts for 11 weeks.“It’s actually not for kids,” he says of the trio. “It’s for smart adults.””SNL” had big shoes to fill after that 50th season, which included an anniversary special, a docuseries on the show’s history and a look back at its musical guests throughout the years.For Season 51, “SNL” welcomed five new performers with comedic or improvisational comedy background: Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson, Veronika Slowikowska, and Ben Marshall, an “SNL” writer for three seasons and member of comedy group Please Don’t Destroy.Several cast members did not return for the new season, including Ego Nwodim, Heidi Gardner, Devon Walker, Michael Longfellow and Emil Wakim.Doja Cat made her debut as an “SNL” musical guest. The show also featured Hollywood heavy-hitters Jon Hamm and Benicio del Toro.Hamm (or, as Bad Bunny put it, “Juan Jamón”) showed up as a Bad Bunny fan and later as Profesor Jirafales in a parody of the classic Mexican comedy series “El Chavo del Ocho.”Del Toro made a cameo in a sketch set in 900 A.D. about the origins of Spanish, asking, “What if we made it harder to learn?”He also suggested the letter “R” should last “a long time,” and said, “I think we should take a nap in the middle of the day.”“SNL” airs on NBC, a division of NBCUniversal, which is also the parent company of NBC News.Dennis RomeroDennis Romero is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.
