Swift admitted that her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was a huge creative force behind "The Life of a Showgirl."

On the show, the "Cruel Summer" crooner explained how writing songs kept her motivated during her grueling Eras Tour.

"I was physically exhausted — sick and worn down — so to spark me up, I had the album as a secret passion project behind the scenes. It stopped me hitting a wall," Swift said.

The album, her 12th, was released on October 3 and has already been praised for its bold, playful sound.

Unlike her more introspective records, Swift said this one was about storytelling from a different perspective.

"I think my wheelhouse is bigger now," she explained. "I feel I can do anything now while running in heels. I am confident to write higher choruses, jump an octave, and do falsetto stuff. I have more confidence after the tour."

Many tracks, from "Opalite" to the daring "Wood," are inspired by her relationship with Kelce.
