00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:06.759
Hi, and welcome to Taylor Swift
Today a short roundup of all the headlines

2
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:14.759
around Taylor's music, tours, movies, and life. Taylor clearly got caught

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:19.079
up in the moment when she left
lipstick all over her rumored boyfriend Travis Kelcey's

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.879
face after a steamy backseat makeout session. In response to images of the new

5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:29.640
couple arriving to SNL's after party on
Saturday, eagle eyed Swifties were quick to

6
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:34.840
point out her signature red lipstick,
which is typically perfectly lined, was notably

7
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.640
smudged. As if it wasn't obvious
enough that the lovebirds couldn't keep their hands

8
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.439
off each other. From the singer's
rubbed off foundation and smeared makeup, Kelsey

9
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.799
seemingly spotted traces of her lipstick on
his mustache. Many fans have speculated on

10
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:54.880
social media that the lipstick on his
face was the result of them locking lips

11
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.119
en route to their PDA filled date
night, where they were spotted kissing and

12
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.040
getting handsy. On Saturday, a
source revealed that the duo partied into the

13
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.519
early hours of the morning before leaving
the SNL season premiere after party together around

14
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.680
two holding hands Travis and Taylor seem
to be really enjoying the night and each

15
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.319
other, even kissing throughout the night. The insider told Page six anyone looking

16
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.079
to approach Taylor at a restaurant or
club might want to pay attention to the

17
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.319
six foot five, two hundred and
fifty pound NFL player on her arm.

18
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.239
Travis opened up about his romance during
his latest episode of New Heights, admitting

19
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.200
to brother Jason that he feels protective
of Taylor when they've been out on dates

20
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.040
together. Of course, Swift already
has a team of security guards protecting her,

21
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.040
one of whom was brushed off by
Travis on Saturday. Alex Rodriguez thinks

22
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.159
Taylor Swift has hit a home run
with Travis, this from E Online.

23
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.959
In fact, the retired Yankees baseball
player is the latest star to weigh in.

24
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.200
Alex exclusively told E newschief correspondent Kelty
Knight. I love it. I

25
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.519
think it's great. It brings a
little bit more energy to the NFL.

26
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.439
It's cool. Having dated his own
fair share of a list celebrities during his

27
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.960
decades long career, from Cameron Diaz
to Jennifer Lopez, the sports star knows

28
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.159
what it's like having your relationship scrutinized
in the media. Another way, he

29
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:22.719
can relate to Travis, understanding the
added pressure he must feel when Taylor is

30
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.080
cheering him on from the stands.
In high school, if there's a girl

31
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.240
you have a crush on, you
want to put on a good show,

32
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.039
he explained. We're all showmen.
Taylor has a gift that might have fans

33
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.879
grinning like a devil. On Wednesday
night, she released two new versions of

34
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.840
Cruel Summer, the first Cruel Summer
Live from ts the Airas Tour and Cruel

35
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.960
Summer LP joby remix. What a
truly mind blowing thing you've turned the arastur

36
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.919
concert film into, she posted on
Instagram. One of my favorite things you've

37
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.039
done was when you supported Cruel Summer
so much I ended up starting the Aras

38
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.159
Tour show with it. For old
time time's sake, I'm releasing the live

39
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.599
audio from the tour so we can
all shriek in the comfort of our homes

40
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.560
and cars. Cruel Summer was her
pride and joy and her favorite song off

41
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.560
her twenty nineteen album Lover. If
Taylor ever decides to run for president,

42
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.080
Grimes is ready to join her on
the campaign trail. The Canadian musician recently

43
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.680
took to x to unofficially endorse Taylor
as the leader of the United States Executive

44
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.719
Branch should the pop star ever choose
to run for the job. In many

45
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.479
ways, Taylor Swift is the only
presidential candidate who can unite the country.

46
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:37.759
Grimes proclaimed it wouldn't be the first
time a celebrity with no prior political experience

47
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.199
stepped into the Oval office as the
Oblivion singer who shares three children with ex

48
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.159
owner Elon Musk pointed out, Trump
versus Swift is totally occurring in a parallel

49
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.879
universe. She added, as fun
as it is to imagine a white house

50
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.840
decorated with pictures of Swift's cats,
Meredith, Olivia, and Benjamin were a

51
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.919
fleet of secret service bodyguards wearing Aristour
Friendship bracelets. Taylor isn't actually logistically able

52
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.759
to run for the top job for
the next presidential election, besides her touring

53
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:11.800
commitments planned through twenty twenty four.
The law states that the US president must

54
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.800
be at least thirty five years old
to hold office. Swift turns thirty four

55
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:25.319
in December. More, Taylor,
in just a moment Taylor dominated the box

56
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.959
office in America this past weekend as
her concert film, Taylor Swift The Era's

57
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.720
Tour launched as the top movie in
the country. The title raked in just

58
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.839
under ninety three million in ticket sales
in its first four days in theaters,

59
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.160
making it a resounding success. But
just how massive was the concert picture,

60
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:48.680
Well, it didn't face any real
competition. This from Forbes, Taylor Swift

61
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.720
the Aris Tour had no issue going
right to number one and ruling the box

62
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.079
office, as no other title could
compete with the concert film. The number

63
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.680
two movie this wee weekend in America
was The Exorcist Believer. The scary title

64
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.199
earned another eleven million at the box
office. According to box Office Mojo,

65
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.399
that's just one eighth of what Swift's
production managed. The Exorcist Believer actually opened

66
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.079
earlier than expected, as it moved
to avoid competing directly with her movie.

67
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.040
After the singer announced her release date, several movies changed theirs, with the

68
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.879
horror flick being perhaps the highest profile
to change course. Since opening on October

69
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.040
sixth, the title has earned forty
five million at the box office, less

70
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.639
than half of what Taylor managed in
one weekend. Looking at the top ten

71
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:43.079
highest grossing movies this weekend in America, it becomes even clearer that Swift really

72
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.040
owned the box office this time around. The combined grosses of the top ten

73
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.680
titles excluding Taylor is just under thirty
six million. That's less than half of

74
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:59.360
what Swift's concert movie pulled in.
Taylor Swift The Airas Tour actually outsold the

75
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.279
rest of the time fifty grossing movies
in America this past weekend. Combined with

76
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:08.120
room to spare, that list includes
quite a few relatively unknown titles such as

77
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:14.240
Carlos Santana's documentary Santana, Liam Neeson's
Retribution, as well as ongoing blockbusters that

78
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.639
are still in theaters like Oppenheimer and
Barbie. And there you have it.

Please follow us on Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts, or your app of

81
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.560
It really helps us out. My
thanks to Mark Francis and John McDermott.
