Taylor Swift has a simple answer to critics who say it’s time for her to step out of the spotlight.

During an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Wednesday, the 35-year-old singer talked about the people she can turn to for advice in the industry, saying she’s “one of those things she looks up to.”[s] The most important thing in people is career length.”

“Career longevity, friendship longevity, relationship longevity,” he said. “‘How do you keep a good thing going?’ “I think there are some in our society that really love it and respect longevity.”

He continued: “Also, ‘Give someone else a chance. Can’t you just walk away so we can talk about how good you are?’ There are also corners like. I said, ‘I don’t want it’.”

Swift went on to say that there are three people she can turn to for advice: Singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks, record producer and songwriter Max Martin, and her fiancé, professional football player Travis Kelce, and “I can talk to him about all that.”

The “Anti-Hero” singer also noted what a “good year” 2025 was for her, saying she felt “so grateful” after getting engaged to Kelce and getting her masters back that same year.

“The two things you just mentioned, getting engaged to the love of my life, getting my music back, are two things that will never happen,” she told Colbert. “These things might never have happened. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, it’s just a matter of time.’ Both of these things might have never happened in my life. I’m so grateful that those two things happened.”

He later cited his fans as the reason he was able to get his masters back.
