Calarugashawk Media.

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.080
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.839
and We've got so much to talk about in today's episodes,

4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.480
from baby fever with Travis to an incredible business book

5
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.120
all about Taylor, plus some wild Kanye drama and a

6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:24.239
special merch drop.

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:25.399
Let's dive right in.

8
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.480
First up, let's talk about what everyone's been whispering about.

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.479
Are Taylor and Travis thinking about starting a family. According

10
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.799
to Life and Style magazine, Travis has babies on the brain.

11
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:39.719
Sources say he's eager to speed up their.

12
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.039
Relationship timeline and wants to marry Taylor and start a

13
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.280
family soon. Apparently, Travis's fatherly instincts kick in whenever he

14
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.840
spends time with his nieces, and now he has a

15
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.520
brand new niece to dote on. Speaking of which, Travis

16
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.960
just met his newest niece, Finley, Finn and Kelsey on

17
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.439
the New Heights podcast. Jason showed off baby Finn during

18
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:05.680
their recording and Travis was absolutely adorable with her, calling

19
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.400
her little muffin and asking if she had a name yet.

20
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:09.400
How sweet is that?

21
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.400
According to reports, Taylor and Travis sent the family a

22
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.959
huge assortment of flowers and other little gifts to celebrate

23
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.359
the new arrival. Sources say that Taylor and Travis have

24
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.640
definitely talked about how cute their babies would be, which

25
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.200
I am absolutely living for. And while they're not officially

26
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.879
engaged yet, they both apparently have babies on the brain.

27
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.120
As we mentioned in a previous episode, Taylor's been showing

28
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.439
her support for the growing Kelsey family by liking Kylie's

29
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.239
Instagram posts about baby Finn.

30
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.079
It's all so precious.

31
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.319
The couple has been keeping a low profile lately, with

32
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.879
sources saying they're keen to experience a more normal life

33
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.760
after the whirlwind of the Aras tour and Super Bowl.

34
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.000
They're taking a break from the public eye while still

35
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.680
being very much together and in love. As we discussed

36
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.719
last time, Travis reportedly wants to foxocus on having a

37
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.560
better NFL season without so much spotlight on their relationship.

38
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.280
Now for some exciting news for all the Fearless fans

39
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.680
out there, Taylor just surprised everyone by bringing back her

40
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.919
iconic Fearless Taylor's Version cardigan, the special golden brown button

41
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.680
down sweater with black striped design and star embroidery. Was

42
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.840
released for just seventy two hours this week to celebrate

43
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.840
the fourth anniversary of Fearless.

44
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:26.919
Taylor's version.

45
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.719
If you've been collecting Taylor's cardigan since the original Folklore

46
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.840
one dropped in twenty twenty, you'll definitely want to add this.

47
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:34.479
To your collection.

48
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.800
What's cool is that it comes in gender neutral sizes

49
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.199
from extra small slash small all the way to three

50
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.240
extra large slash four extra large, and they even featured

51
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.159
male models in the promo materials. This is a great

52
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.319
reminder that Taylor's still working through her re recordings with Fearless,

53
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.280
Red Speak Now and nineteen eighty nine already completed. That

54
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.400
just leaves reputation and her debut album, Taylor Swift to go.

55
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.039
And we know from last time that fans are spotting

56
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.080
all those twelve references that might hint at TS twelve

57
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.240
coming two. In some incredible business news, Harvard Business Review

58
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.120
is publishing a comprehensive book about Taylor's business acumen called

59
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.479
There's Nothing Like This. The author, Kevin Evers, spent two

60
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.479
years researching Taylor's career and was completely impressed by her

61
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.520
strategic mind and determination since she was just thirteen years old.

62
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.240
The book goes through each era of Taylor's career, highlighting

63
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.680
the challenges she faced and how she overcame them. Evers

64
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.759
notes that Taylor's success wasn't a shoe in She faced

65
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.120
significant obstacles breaking into country music as a female artist

66
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.240
when the genre was dominated by men. He also details

67
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.599
how her groundbreaking decision to re record her masters after

68
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.400
her split with Big Machine Records paid off tremendously. Evers

69
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.120
even compares Taylor's impact to Beatlemania, but argues that she's

70
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.639
had a steeper hill to climb because of all the

71
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.680
industrydisruptions she's navigated, from digital streaming to jumping across genres.

72
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.520
When asked to sum up Taylor's career in one word,

73
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.719
the author chose anti fragility, which is like resilience, but

74
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.639
even stronger. It means not just withstanding pressure, but actually

75
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.920
growing stronger from it. He points to albums like Reputation

76
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.600
after her public cancelation in twenty sixteen, and her literary

77
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.600
prowess in folklore and evermore as examples. The book's title,

78
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.000
There's Nothing Like This is a lyric from Miss Americana

79
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.639
and the Heartbreak Prints, and Evers believes it perfectly captures

80
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.399
how there will never be another artist quite like Taylor

81
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.959
in some sweet friendship news. Ed Sheeran recently opened up

82
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.560
about his decade long friendship with Taylor on the Call

83
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.879
Her Daddy podcast. He got all nostalgic about the time

84
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.279
he served as Taylor's opening act on the Red Tour

85
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.360
back in twenty thirteen, remembering how they used to fly

86
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.800
two and from gigs together and spent almost every day

87
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.959
together for about six months. While they don't see each other,

88
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.240
there is often anymore about four times a year. Ed

89
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.120
says when they do meet up, they have proper, sit down,

90
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.120
six hour catchups. He explained last year that their conversations

91
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.800
feel like therapy because Taylor is one of the only

92
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.319
people that actually truly understands where I'm at.

93
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.399
Their friendship is such goals.

94
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.839
Speaking of Taylor's past, there's a really cool story about

95
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.360
the Dark Horse Estate in Tennessee, where Taylor recorded music

96
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.680
as a teenager. The owner, Robin Crowe, shared his memories

97
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.040
of meeting Taylor when she was just fifteen years old.

98
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.040
He said he met her once or twice during the

99
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.639
couple of weeks she was recording there, but never gave

100
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.639
it a second thought now he's amazed that she's the

101
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.600
biggest artist in the world. He called Taylor's success magic

102
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.199
and said everything kind of lines up for her in

103
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.000
a way he hadn't seen with other artists, even ones

104
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.639
with huge record company backing.

105
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.240
More in a moment.

106
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.000
In some less pleasant news, Kanye West is back to

107
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.759
his problematic behavior. He recently posted some absolutely disgusting comments

108
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.639
about Taylor on x I won't repeat what he said

109
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.519
because it's truly vile, but he made inappropriate sexual remarks

110
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.079
and joked about serious allegations against him. This comes after

111
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.439
he also made offensive comments about Jay Z and Beyonce's children.

112
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.120
His ex wife, Kim Kardashian is reportedly appalled by his behavior,

113
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.160
especially when it involves children, and feels no matter what

114
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.399
feud Kanye has going on with Jay and Beyonce, kids

115
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.519
are off limits. After everything Taylor's been through with Kanye

116
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.279
over the years, this new attack is just more proof

117
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.040
that she was right to distance herself from that whole situation.

118
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.680
On a totally different note, there's a really interesting legal

119
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.959
case going on right now. A Florida artist named Kimberly

120
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.319
Morasco is suing Taylor Jack Antonoff Aaron Dessner, Universal Music Group,

121
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.759
and Republic Records for alleged copyright infringement. This is actually

122
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.560
Morasco's second lawsuit against Taylor. She filed one last year

123
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.079
that partially got dismissed. She's claiming that various songs and

124
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.399
music videos from albums like Lover, Folklore, Midnights and The

125
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.639
Tortured Poets Department contained creative elements that copy her work

126
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.839
without permission. The lawsuit also mentions other celebrities like Beyonce,

127
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.439
Chaka Khan, and even Elon Musk as references in her

128
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.600
arguments about similar expressions in different works. Finally, let's talk

129
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.959
about the economic impact of the Eras tour. When Taylor

130
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.000
performed in Indianapolis last November, it was obviously amazing for fans,

131
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.839
but it also came with some significant costs for the city.

132
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.240
According to records obtained by a local news station, the

133
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.759
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spent over five hundred forty thousand

134
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.800
dollars in overtime for taylor Swift Weekend. The police chief

135
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.079
defended the expense, saying that when hundreds of thousands of

136
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.800
people come to our city, they enjoy the event, and

137
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.279
they go home the way they came safely, then it

138
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.959
is worth every dime. The department had hundreds of officers

139
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.759
working the event, providing security inside and outside the stadium

140
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.879
and directing traffic. They even exchanged friendship bracelets with fans.

141
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.600
Economists predicted the Heiress Tour would provide a one hundred

142
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.759
and fifty million dollar economic boost to the Indianapolis area,

143
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.480
so that over time cost was just a tiny fraction

144
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.399
of the overall economic impact. And that's all for today's

145
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.000
episode of Taylor Swift Today, what do you think about

146
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.600
Travis having babies on the brain? Did any of you

147
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.919
grab that limited edition Fearless cardigan? Are you excited to

148
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.320
read the Harvard Business Review book about Taylor's business strategies?
