""Jay-Z has always been very good to me," she explained, adding that their business teams are close but there has not been "an official offer or a conference-room conversation." She goes on, "We're always able to tell him the truth, which is that I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field. Like, [football] is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous ....""
"The Life of a Showgirl has already broken the post-1991 U.S. record for the most vinyl copies sold in a single week-a record Swift herself set with 2024's The Tortured Poets Department. The album is now vying for the overall sales week record, a distinction long held by Adele for 2015's . Over the weekend, Swift dropped a deluxe version of The Life of a Showgirl, featuring acoustic versions and demos from the album, on iTunes."
Taylor Swift appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote The Life of a Showgirl and explain the themes behind several songs, including the controversial track "Wood." She discussed her friendship with Selena Gomez, the last film she saw, and her engagement to Travis Kelce. She denied rumors that she declined the Super Bowl halftime show over footage ownership, noting close business ties with Jay-Z but no official offer. She described being in love with an NFL player and compared football to "violent chess." The album set a post-1991 U.S. vinyl sales record, is vying for an overall sales-week record, received a deluxe release with acoustic versions and demos, and premiered a music video at theatrical screenings compiling lyric videos and behind-the-scenes footage.
