Taylor Swift thankful for 'hot best friend' Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift has praised Travis Kelce as her "hot" best friend.

The Cruel Summer singer recently got engaged to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end after more than two years of dating and she thinks he's the ultimate "goal" in what she was looking for in a partner.

Speaking to Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show, she said: "He's a blast. He's just the most fun person, life of any party, even when it's just us. That’s the goal, isn't it? Find a best friend who you think is hot."

The 35-year-old singer is close friends with Ed Sheeran and admitted it is likely he will perform at her and Travis' wedding because he loves performing so much.

Asked if Ed will be her wedding singer, she said: "I mean it would be hard to keep him from it I think! That's the thing he's like, 'I'm always being asked to sing at weddings', and you're like, 'Ed, if there's a stage you know that you'll be on it!'

"He knows what people want and he wants to give people what they want. That's the fun thing about our friendship is we both love performing and we love writing and we love singing.

"It's actually not that hard to talk either of us into performing at anything!"

Taylor has no social media apps on her phone because she hates to waste time "scrolling" when she has so many hobbies and knows she will eventually see anything important anyway.

She said: "I am really not much of a scroller at all, I don't have the apps on my phone or else. It's really effective right? They know what I want to see and they're going to show it to me so I'd rather just spend like those hours doing something else or baking.

"I have a lot of hobbies and I didn't really have as many hobbies when I spent a lot of time scrolling. It's been so much fun mandating a different relationship with social media when there's so much of any type of opinion about me, it's like, don't put that in my brain."

Taylor's first radio interview since 2019 marked the release of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Friday (03.10.25) and she believes the record offers fans a "complete and total snapshot" of her life right now.

She said: "One thing about this album that I think is really exciting is that oftentimes when I make a record there's like a lag time between when I made it and when it enters the world.

"Like for example, my last album, Tortured Post Department, by the time that album came out, I was in a completely different point in my life.

"With this one I would say that this album is a complete and total snapshot of what my life looks like right now."
