0:02 Hi, and welcome to Taylor Swift Today a short roundup of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, movies, and life. Taylor clearly got caught up in the moment when she left lipstick all over her rumored boyfriend Travis Kelcey's face after a steamy backseat makeout session. In response to images of the new couple arriving to SNL's after party on Saturday, eagle eyed Swifties were quick to point out her signature red lipstick, which is typically perfectly lined, was notably smudged. As if it wasn't obvious enough that the lovebirds couldn't keep their hands off each other. From the singer's rubbed off foundation and smeared makeup, Kelsey seemingly spotted traces of her lipstick on his mustache. Many fans have speculated on social media that the lipstick on his face was the result of them locking lips en route to their PDA filled date night, where they were spotted kissing and getting handsy. On Saturday, a source revealed that the duo partied into the early hours of the morning before leaving the SNL season premiere after party together around two holding hands Travis and Taylor seem to be really enjoying the night and each other, even kissing throughout the night. The insider told Page six anyone looking to approach Taylor at a restaurant or club might want to pay attention to the six foot five, two hundred and fifty pound NFL player on her arm.

1:29 Travis opened up about his romance during his latest episode of New Heights, admitting to brother Jason that he feels protective of Taylor when they've been out on dates together. Of course, Swift already has a team of security guards protecting her, one of whom was brushed off by Travis on Saturday. Alex Rodriguez thinks Taylor Swift has hit a home run with Travis, this from E Online. In fact, the retired Yankees baseball player is the latest star to weigh in. Alex exclusively told E newschief correspondent Kelty Knight. I love it. I think it's great. It brings a little bit more energy to the NFL. It's cool. Having dated his own fair share of a list celebrities during his decades long career, from Cameron Diaz to Jennifer Lopez, the sports star knows what it's like having your relationship scrutinized in the media. Another way, he can relate to Travis, understanding the added pressure he must feel when Taylor is cheering him on from the stands. In high school, if there's a girl you have a crush on, you want to put on a good show, he explained. We're all showmen. Taylor has a gift that might have fans grinning like a devil. On Wednesday night, she released two new versions of Cruel Summer, the first Cruel Summer Live from ts the Airas Tour and Cruel Summer LP joby remix. What a truly mind blowing thing you've turned the arastur concert film into, she posted on Instagram. One of my favorite things you've done was when you supported Cruel Summer so much I ended up starting the Aras Tour show with it. For old time time's sake, I'm releasing the live

3:01 audio from the tour so we can all shriek in the comfort of our homes and cars. Cruel Summer was her pride and joy and her favorite song off her twenty nineteen album Lover. If Taylor ever decides to run for president, Grimes is ready to join her on the campaign trail. The Canadian musician recently took to x to unofficially endorse Taylor as the leader of the United States Executive Branch should the pop star ever choose to run for the job. In many ways, Taylor Swift is the only presidential candidate who can unite the country. Grimes proclaimed it wouldn't be the first time a celebrity with no prior political experience stepped into the Oval office as the Oblivion singer who shares three children with ex owner Elon Musk pointed out, Trump versus Swift is totally occurring in a parallel universe. She added, as fun as it is to imagine a white house decorated with pictures of Swift's cats, Meredith, Olivia, and Benjamin were a fleet of secret service bodyguards wearing Aristour Friendship bracelets. Taylor isn't actually logistically able to run for the top job for the next presidential election, besides her touring commitments planned through twenty twenty four. The law states that the US president must be at least thirty five years old to hold office. Swift turns thirty four in December. More, Taylor, in just a moment Taylor dominated the box office in America this past weekend as her concert film, Taylor Swift The Era's Tour launched as the top movie in the country. The title raked in just

4:33 under ninety three million in ticket sales in its first four days in theaters, making it a resounding success. But just how massive was the concert picture, Well, it didn't face any real competition. This from Forbes, Taylor Swift the Aris Tour had no issue going right to number one and ruling the box office, as no other title could compete with the concert film. The number two movie this wee weekend in America was The Exorcist Believer. The scary title earned another eleven million at the box office. According to box Office Mojo, that's just one eighth of what Swift's production managed. The Exorcist Believer actually opened earlier than expected, as it moved to avoid competing directly with her movie.

5:19 After the singer announced her release date, several movies changed theirs, with the horror flick being perhaps the highest profile to change course. Since opening on October sixth, the title has earned forty five million at the box office, less than half of what Taylor managed in one weekend. Looking at the top ten highest grossing movies this weekend in America, it becomes even clearer that Swift really owned the box office this time around. The combined grosses of the top ten titles excluding Taylor is just under thirty six million. That's less than half of what Swift's concert movie pulled in. Taylor Swift The Airas Tour actually outsold the rest of the time fifty grossing movies in America this past weekend. Combined with room to spare, that list includes quite a few relatively unknown titles such as Carlos Santana's documentary Santana, Liam Neeson's Retribution, as well as ongoing blockbusters that are still in theaters like Oppenheimer and Barbie. And there you have it.
