Between her Eras Tour and awards show domination, it’s not like Taylor Swift has been in hiding for the past half-decade or anything — but her broadcast interviews had become few and far between.

That’s why it was so notable when she made her podcast debut back in August alongside her now-fiancé Travis Kelce and his brother Jason on New Heights, and she’s continued the press tour during The Life of a Showgirl release week since Friday, doing radio interviews across the U.K. and U.S. and sitting down with Graham Norton, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers for trans-continental late-night chats.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about some of the reasons why Swift might be more comfortable fielding questions about this particular project, and the one answer that she gave Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that exemplified why it was the right call.

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Mariah Carey scores her 19th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the arrival of Here for It All, while the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack slices its way back to the top of the chart. Meanwhile, on the Billboard Hot 100, Tate McRae’s “Tit for Tat” storms in at No. 3, while rising star Olivia Dean surges 25-12 with “Man I Need,” while her new album debuts in the top 10 on the Billboard 200.
