Taylor Swift Jokes About Her Secret Spy Skills
Taylor Swift never misses a chance to surprise fans, and this time it is not with a breakup song or hidden Easter egg.
Instead, she joked about having the perfect skills to become a spy.
The pop superstar is fresh off releasing her latest project, The Life of a Showgirl, and while fans are busy streaming the new tracks, she had a playful moment during a radio interview that quickly went viral.
In classic Taylor fashion, she turned an ordinary conversation into something unforgettable.
Taylor Swift’s Spy Jokes on the Radio
During a recent appearance on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Scott Mills, Swift was asked about her ability to keep secrets. The “Opalite” singer, who is now 35, had just dropped her highly anticipated new album The Life of a Showgirl on October 3, but the conversation with Mills quickly shifted to the world of espionage.
Mills, 51, explained how much prep work he did before speaking with her. “So some of these may be odd because some of them will be in the middle of the night, but bear with,” he said. Then came the question that sparked the viral moment.
“Question from my notes app: Gloria Estefan was once asked by the CIA to become a spy. Have you ever been asked because you’d be a great spy. Think about all the secrets you have to keep.”
Without missing a beat, Swift replied with her signature wit. “Yeah, but that’s classified, unfortunately,” she quipped, setting the playful tone.
The Hilarious Garbage Can Comment
When pressed about which part of spying she would be best at, Swift confidently answered. “I think the entering and exiting buildings without being seen,” she said.
But her next line is what fans could not stop laughing about. “Just put me in a garbage can and roll me. I don’t care, honestly no…I can fit in like a purse.”
Mills then asked if the 14-time Grammy winner was picky about how she traveled. Swift admitted she often takes unusual approaches. “No. Look here’s the thing sometimes. I just can’t deal with it. Yeah, and in those times I won’t deal with it. So yeah, I’m just digging tunnels under every building I go into.”
It was a moment of pure Taylor Swift humor that instantly became one of the standout soundbites from her press tour.
Taylor Swift Has Actually Pulled Off Spy Moves
As silly as her spy comments sounded, Swift has real-life experience sneaking into places unnoticed. Fans already knew about her creative entrances during the Eras Tour, but she finally confirmed one of the biggest rumors herself.
Yes, Taylor Swift was actually transported to the stage in a cleaning cart during the record-breaking Eras Tour. She shared proof in an Instagram post last December, and she even included photos in her Eras Tour book. In one shot, she can be seen sitting on a stool inside the cart, which was decorated with pictures of her cats Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button.
She even referenced the stunt in her I Can Do It with a Broken Heart music video, showing fans that she is not afraid to laugh at her own clever tactics.
Looking Back on the Eras Tour
Aside from joking about her spy skills, Swift also opened up about the impact of the Eras Tour during an October 3 BBC Radio 1 interview. The tour became one of the biggest live music events in history, breaking records and dominating headlines.
“For me it feels like such an honor that the fans made it into what it was, because it was truly astonishing for all of us who were on that tour. We were like, what is going on? It turned into something very quickly that exceeded any of our expectations for what the tour could have been,” Swift reflected.
She continued, “I knew it was crazy what was happening. We have never had anything happen like that. I’ve been with my band for a very long time. My tour, my crew, my touring family, my team…we’re all very close and have been forever and none of us have ever had anything like that happen.”
Why Taylor Swift Isn’t Touring Again Soon
While fans may be eager for another round of live shows, Swift admitted she needs time to rest.
“I’m gonna be really honest with you. Like, I am so tired when I think about doing it again because I would want to do it really, really well again,” she confessed.
Her honesty only added to her relatability. After performing countless shows across the globe and giving her all to her audience, taking a break feels more than deserved.
What’s Next for Taylor Swift
Even though she is stepping back from the stage for now, fans can dive into her newest music with The Life of a Showgirl, which is available to stream everywhere.
The album adds another chapter to her ever-evolving career, and her ability to mix humor, honesty, and storytelling continues to keep her at the top of the pop culture conversation.
And while her jokes about garbage cans and tunnels were all in fun, it is hard not to picture her as a real-life secret agent. If anyone could pull off a double life as a chart-topping pop star and a sneaky spy, it would be Taylor Swift.
