Don\u2019t let any outside noise into your head. Focus on only this one thing,\u201d Swift said. \u201cIf you do get sick, you\u2019re doing the show anyway. If you\u2019re sore, you\u2019re injured, you\u2019re hurt, you\u2019re pretending you\u2019re not and doing the show anyway. So that was a really, really astonishing challenge, and I\u2019m really proud of how we all handled it \u2014 not just me but also my band and my crew and my amazing fellow performers onstage. Every one of those people has to be at the top of their game and operating with the same mentality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The hosts joked asking her if she \u201cdoomscrolls\u201d on social media, and Swift shared how she doesn\u2019t spend much time on social media because she devotes that time to her hobbies like baking. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s been so much fun mandating a different relationship with social media,\u201d Swift said. \u201cI\u2019ll get sent things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">When talking about \u201cWi$h Li$t,\u201d one of the hosts mentioned the lyric, \u201cJust give me a best friend who\u2019s hot\u201d and asked if she\u2019s achieved that with Kelce. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">And Swift flashed her ring saying, \u201cLook what I\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">She talked again about \u201cOpalite\u201d and how when we go through something that doesn\u2019t work out that it\u2019s an opportunity to \u201ccatapult you forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cOpalite is kind of about forgiving yourself for having gone through something that didn\u2019t pan out the way you wanted it to,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">She continued, \u201cIt\u2019s giving yourself permission to like not have it all figured out and to not marry the first person you ever dated.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"dn-article-body__oembed dn-article-body__embed-responsive youtube \" data-chromatic=\"ignore\">\n<div>\n<p><iframe title=\"Taylor Swift On The Life Of A Showgirl, The Eras Tours &amp; Her Engagement!\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/exz62D28ymw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"lessa-href&quot;https:www.youtube.comwatchvitJar4sOKGc&quot;-target&quot;_blank&quot;-rel&quot;noreferrer&quot;-title&quot;https:www.youtube.comwatchvitJar4sOKGc&quot;greaterTaylor-Swift-fangirls-over-Spice-Girl-Emma-Bunton-on-Heart-Radiolessagreater\" class=\"dn-article-body__h3\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=itJar4sOKGc\" title=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=itJar4sOKGc\">Taylor Swift fangirls over Spice Girl Emma Bunton on Heart Radio<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Jamie Theakston and Spice Girls member Emma Bunton hosted Swift on Heart Radio where Swift started the interview out revealing she had the Baby Spice doll when she was younger and how she and the other girls would fight over who got to play Baby Spice. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Theakston praised Swift and Bunton and said they\u2019re the type of artists who \u201cput the fans at the front of everything you do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s really fun as a fan to feel known and to feel like the artist cares about what you want from them,\u201d Swift said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Swift shared how fun it was to have The Eras Tour be a cross-generational family affair. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re just seeing people having these shared moments together as families, and it feels like a huge honor to be a part of that,\u201d Swift said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Speaking of family, Theakston asked to see Swift\u2019s engagement ring, and she revealed Kelce really did design the ring himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cHe listened to me,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what I\u2019d want, but he did somehow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">When referring to \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl, she said, \u201cI love this era.
