0:03 Calarugashawk Media. Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali, and We've got so much to talk about in today's episodes, from baby fever with Travis to an incredible business book all about Taylor, plus some wild Kanye drama and a special merch drop. Let's dive right in. First up, let's talk about what everyone's been whispering about. Are Taylor and Travis thinking about starting a family. According to Life and Style magazine, Travis has babies on the brain. Sources say he's eager to speed up their. Relationship timeline and wants to marry Taylor and start a family soon. Apparently, Travis's fatherly instincts kick in whenever he spends time with his nieces, and now he has a brand new niece to dote on. Speaking of which, Travis just met his newest niece, Finley, Finn and Kelsey on the New Heights podcast. Jason showed off baby Finn during their recording and Travis was absolutely adorable with her, calling her little muffin and asking if she had a name yet.

1:08 How sweet is that? According to reports, Taylor and Travis sent the family a huge assortment of flowers and other little gifts to celebrate the new arrival. Sources say that Taylor and Travis have definitely talked about how cute their babies would be, which I am absolutely living for. And while they're not officially engaged yet, they both apparently have babies on the brain. As we mentioned in a previous episode, Taylor's been showing her support for the growing Kelsey family by liking Kylie's Instagram posts about baby Finn. It's all so precious. The couple has been keeping a low profile lately, with sources saying they're keen to experience a more normal life after the whirlwind of the Aras tour and Super Bowl.

1:51 They're taking a break from the public eye while still being very much together and in love. As we discussed last time, Travis reportedly wants to foxocus on having a better NFL season without so much spotlight on their relationship. Now for some exciting news for all the Fearless fans out there, Taylor just surprised everyone by bringing back her iconic Fearless Taylor's Version cardigan, the special golden brown button down sweater with black striped design and star embroidery. Was released for just seventy two hours this week to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Fearless. Taylor's version. If you've been collecting Taylor's cardigan since the original Folklore one dropped in twenty twenty, you'll definitely want to add this.

2:33 To your collection. What's cool is that it comes in gender neutral sizes from extra small slash small all the way to three extra large slash four extra large, and they even featured male models in the promo materials. This is a great reminder that Taylor's still working through her re recordings with Fearless, Red Speak Now and nineteen eighty nine already completed. That just leaves reputation and her debut album, Taylor Swift to go. And we know from last time that fans are spotting all those twelve references that might hint at TS twelve coming two. In some incredible business news, Harvard Business Review is publishing a comprehensive book about Taylor's business acumen called There's Nothing Like This. The author, Kevin Evers, spent two years researching Taylor's career and was completely impressed by her strategic mind and determination since she was just thirteen years old.

3:30 The book goes through each era of Taylor's career, highlighting the challenges she faced and how she overcame them. Evers notes that Taylor's success wasn't a shoe in She faced significant obstacles breaking into country music as a female artist when the genre was dominated by men. He also details how her groundbreaking decision to re record her masters after her split with Big Machine Records paid off tremendously. Evers even compares Taylor's impact to Beatlemania, but argues that she's had a steeper hill to climb because of all the industrydisruptions she's navigated, from digital streaming to jumping across genres. When asked to sum up Taylor's career in one word, the author chose anti fragility, which is like resilience, but even stronger. It means not just withstanding pressure, but actually growing stronger from it. He points to albums like Reputation after her public cancelation in twenty sixteen, and her literary prowess in folklore and evermore as examples. The book's title, There's Nothing Like This is a lyric from Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prints, and Evers believes it perfectly captures how there will never be another artist quite like Taylor in some sweet friendship news. Ed Sheeran recently opened up about his decade long friendship with Taylor on the Call Her Daddy podcast. He got all nostalgic about the time he served as Taylor's opening act on the Red Tour back in twenty thirteen, remembering how they used to fly two and from gigs together and spent almost every day together for about six months. While they don't see each other, there is often anymore about four times a year. Ed

5:03 says when they do meet up, they have proper, sit down, six hour catchups. He explained last year that their conversations feel like therapy because Taylor is one of the only people that actually truly understands where I'm at. Their friendship is such goals. Speaking of Taylor's past, there's a really cool story about the Dark Horse Estate in Tennessee, where Taylor recorded music as a teenager. The owner, Robin Crowe, shared his memories of meeting Taylor when she was just fifteen years old. He said he met her once or twice during the couple of weeks she was recording there, but never gave it a second thought now he's amazed that she's the biggest artist in the world. He called Taylor's success magic and said everything kind of lines up for her in a way he hadn't seen with other artists, even ones with huge record company backing.

5:51 More in a moment. In some less pleasant news, Kanye West is back to his problematic behavior. He recently posted some absolutely disgusting comments about Taylor on x I won't repeat what he said because it's truly vile, but he made inappropriate sexual remarks and joked about serious allegations against him. This comes after he also made offensive comments about Jay Z and Beyonce's children. His ex wife, Kim Kardashian is reportedly appalled by his behavior, especially when it involves children, and feels no matter what feud Kanye has going on with Jay and Beyonce, kids are off limits. After everything Taylor's been through with Kanye over the years, this new attack is just more proof that she was right to distance herself from that whole situation.

6:44 On a totally different note, there's a really interesting legal case going on right now. A Florida artist named Kimberly Morasco is suing Taylor Jack Antonoff Aaron Dessner, Universal Music Group, and Republic Records for alleged copyright infringement. This is actually Morasco's second lawsuit against Taylor. She filed one last year that partially got dismissed. She's claiming that various songs and music videos from albums like Lover, Folklore, Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department contained creative elements that copy her work without permission. The lawsuit also mentions other celebrities like Beyonce, Chaka Khan, and even Elon Musk as references in her arguments about similar expressions in different works. Finally, let's talk about the economic impact of the Eras tour. When Taylor performed in Indianapolis last November, it was obviously amazing for fans, but it also came with some significant costs for the city.

7:40 According to records obtained by a local news station, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spent over five hundred forty thousand dollars in overtime for taylor Swift Weekend. The police chief defended the expense, saying that when hundreds of thousands of people come to our city, they enjoy the event, and they go home the way they came safely, then it is worth every dime. The department had hundreds of officers working the event, providing security inside and outside the stadium and directing traffic. They even exchanged friendship bracelets with fans. Economists predicted the Heiress Tour would provide a one hundred and fifty million dollar economic boost to the Indianapolis area, so that over time cost was just a tiny fraction of the overall economic impact. And that's all for today's episode of Taylor Swift Today, what do you think about Travis having babies on the brain? Did any of you grab that limited edition Fearless cardigan? Are you excited to read the Harvard Business Review book about Taylor's business strategies?
