Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement has quickly become the hottest pop culture moment of 2025, but let’s set aside speculation about the wedding dress and what kind of ring found its new home on Swift’s finger, and focus on what interests the lifelong Swifties like myself – the future of her music. 

Swift's discography has been a diaristic documentation of her dating life. The trials and tribulations she wrote have connected with millions of fellow hopeless romantics, such as myself.

Since she reached this long anticipated finish line, what can her millions of fans expect to hear in her future music? Fans agree that her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl seems to revolve around her life as the current queen of pop.

The engagement also appears to have taken place after her upcoming album was announced, so we shouldn't expect much of a shift there. With the next unannounced album we should find out how she will approach writing in a fully committed relationship. It will be her thirteenth album, a fitting number to close this chapter as it's Swift's favorite.

Witnessing  how she's approached long term relationships in the past, I think she could address married life on the thirteenth album, and then drop the curtains and focus on writing either more fiction-based songs as found in folklore and evermore, or focus her writings on new topics in her life.
