Taylor Swift is officially in her sourdough era. The Love Story singer, who has been vocal about her passion for baking, said her hobbies around the house have been in full swing since she wrapped up her Eras Tour in December, 2024.
“I’d say all my hobbies could be categorized as, like, hobbies you could have had in the 1700s, you know? Like, I get all my granny s***,” she said on her fiancé Travis Kelce’s podcast New Heights last year .
“We’re very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life,” she added.

“The sourdough’s taken over my life in a huge way. I’m really talking about bread 60 percent of the time now,” she went on to say.
“I’m just, like, always baking bread and texting my friends and being like, ‘Can I send you some bread? I need some feedback,” she continued. “Do you like this one better than you liked the other one? Like, I did the rise a little differently.’”

One said, “The small business thing comes off in such poor taste especially when she’s known to be the most wealthy woman in the world.”
“A literal billionaire calling their PR quirky hobby a ‘small business’ is wild work,” another wrote.
“Unpopular opinion but I don’t find anything wrong with that phrase, I just don’t think Taylor is entitled to use it,” one said. “It should be used by people who are NOT billionaires who can’t just snap their fingers and make their problems go away, thus they bake as stress relief.”
