Taylor Swift Is Taking A Break From Music, Might Learn How To Change A Tire

As the seventh – seventh! – single rolls of the 1989 production line, Taylor Swift considers a short break from music.

Speaking to Vogue for a new cover story, Tay has revealed she wants to step away from the spotlight and see what it’s like to be a normie for a little while. (Good luck with that.)

“I just decided that after the past year, with all of the unbelievable things that happened ... I was going to live my life a little bit without the pressure on myself to create something,” she said.

“I would really like to take a little time to learn things. I have lots of short-term goals.”

If you were hoping those “short-term” goals included either conflict resolution (which could be handy), or, you know, mastering the art of Muay Thai (which is just awesome), well, they don't. Instead, she wants to learn CPR, figure out how to change a tire and, time permitting, start a fashion line.

Though Swift didn’t say how long her hiatus might be, she noted that it might not last more than a fortnight.

“The thing is, with me, I could very well come up with three things in the next two weeks and then jump back into the studio, and all of a sudden the next record is started,” she added.

“That’s an option, too.”

Squad-faithful Lorde reckons the latter is the more likely option, telling Vogue, “Tay is a big fan of taking time off until about month two — and then she gets this look in her eyes, and I know all the Dateline and frozen yogurt and mooching around is about to go out the window.”

Until then, fro-yo providers should be on high alert.
