00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.519
Calarugu Shark Media. Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift today.

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.560
I'm Livy filling in for Ali. It's Sunday, January twenty fifth,

3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.480
and we have some explosive revelations, including private text messages

4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.480
between Taylor and Blake Lively showing their friendship rift and reconciliation,

5
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.000
Kim Kardashian shocking everyone by praising Taylor, Taylor making history

6
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.879
at the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Travis being clueless

7
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:34.200
about his own podcast reference in Wood. This is huge news,

8
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:39.000
so let's dive in the biggest story. Court documents from

9
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.039
Blake Lively's case against Justin Baldoni have revealed private text

10
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.280
messages between Blake and Taylor showing their friendship went through

11
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.119
a rough patch, but they worked it out. These texts

12
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.759
were submitted as evidence and unsealed Monday, confirming what we

13
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.359
suspected about their relationship cooling off. It was Blake who

14
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.359
reached out first on December fourth, twenty twenty four, to

15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.960
save their friends. She wrote, I have no reason to ask,

16
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:04.959
but I don't know. I've been feeling like I should.

17
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.120
Is everything okay? I felt like a bad friend lately

18
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.439
because I was such a sad sack who only talked

19
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.760
about my own for months. Blake continued, you were generous

20
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:16.640
to not only be the key person there for me

21
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:18.799
during all of it, but also to let me off

22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.920
the hook for being so in it. I felt so

23
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.560
stupid and like it sounded needy and awkward for everyone.

24
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.840
I always want the opportunity to be a better friend

25
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.519
if there's something I unintentionally did. Taylor's response was so

26
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.280
honest and mature. She admitted Blake was not wrong about

27
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.319
their friendship, but said it was also not a big deal.

28
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.560
Taylor explained, I think I'm just exhausted in every avenue

29
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.640
of my life, and in recent months had been feeling

30
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.040
a little bit of a shift in the way you

31
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.599
talk to me. Here's the key part, Taylor said, your

32
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.120
last view, it's felt like I was reading a mass

33
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.959
corporate email sent to two hundred employees. It feels awful

34
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.000
to be critical, but I just kind of missed my funny, dark,

35
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.280
normal speaking friend who talks to me as herself. This

36
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.959
is so relatable. When friends go through trauma, sometimes they

37
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.199
lose their authentic voice trying to protect themselves. Taylor recognized this.

38
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.960
I know you feel attacked from all sides for ridiculous reasons.

39
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.479
So you're feeling like you have to overly explain things,

40
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.240
but it's me. Blake's response showed her wit even in

41
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.159
a serious moment. She joked, thank you for your feedback.

42
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.120
We at headquarters are reviewing your concerns and we'll get

43
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.120
back to you in a timely manner, then immediately added

44
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.680
for real, though you're right. Blake explained she'd become digitally

45
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.520
paranoid because of the lawsuit. I've been texting like I'm writing,

46
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.360
not like me talking. I'm overpackaging simple things because I've

47
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.520
felt so deeply misunderstood that I don't trust my judgment

48
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:48.400
of myself anymore. She apologized. Point is, I'm being a stupid,

49
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.360
paranoid weirdo and felt it but didn't know where or

50
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.800
how or when. So thank you for telling me and

51
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.960
for not making it a big deal. But I am

52
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.759
sorry to you. Taylor diffused the tension by playing along

53
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.199
with the corporate joke first paragraph took me out. This

54
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.520
exchange shows exactly why they're such good friends. They can

55
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.680
be honest, work through issues, and still maintain their humor.

56
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.879
The texts also revealed Blake called Baldoni the dufist director

57
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.759
of my movie, and a clown to Taylor. Swift reportedly

58
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.199
called Baldonni a bog, saying I think this board knows

59
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.639
something is coming because he's gotten out his tiny violin.

60
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.360
Taylor also told Blake I'll do anything for you when

61
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.199
she asked for help after a script meeting. Blake texted, Taylor,

62
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.719
you were so epically heroic today, you making swore up

63
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.680
about me and lenses and referring to yourself as my doll,

64
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.000
this clown. Falling for all of it but also resisting it.

65
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:44.879
You are the world's absolute greatest friend ever. Taylor's team

66
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.319
emphasized she had no creative involvement in the film beyond

67
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.159
allowing use of my tears ricochet. They stated Taylor never

68
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.840
set foot on the set, was not involved in any

69
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.599
casting or creative decisions, never saw an edit, was traveling

70
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.400
around the globe headlining the biggest tour in history. This

71
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.599
friendship drama shows how external pressures can affect even the

72
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.840
closest relationships. Blake was dealing with sexual harassment allegations, lawsuits,

73
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.240
and public scrutiny. Of course, that changed how she communicated,

74
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.560
but Taylor recognized the shift and addressed it directly instead

75
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.399
of letting resentment build. Now for shocking news, Kim Kardashian

76
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.920
praised Taylor on Chloe's podcast. When asked if people would

77
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.040
be surprised she listens to Taylor, Kim said, I think

78
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.879
I've said it. I've always thought she's like a super talented,

79
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.160
great artist. She has some of her older songs in

80
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.839
my playlist. This is wild. Considering their twenty sixteen feud

81
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.560
over Kanye's famous lyrics and the edited phone call footage

82
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.879
Kim released. Kim said they all moved on in twenty nineteen,

83
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.720
and Taylor reflected in twenty twenty three that it took

84
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.560
me down psychologically to a place I've never been before.

85
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.560
The timing is interesting given thank You Amy from Tortured

86
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.800
Poets Department, which fans think references Kim, but Kim calling

87
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.160
Taylor super talented and admitting she listens to her music

88
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.079
character development, we love to see historic news. Taylor is

89
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.879
being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at age

90
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.279
thirty six, making her the second youngest inductee ever. Only

91
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.360
Stevie Wonder was younger at thirty three when inducted in

92
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:26.800
nineteen eighty three. She joins Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins and Kisses,

93
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.439
Paul Stanley, and Gene Simmons. The ceremony is June eleventh

94
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.000
at the Marriott Marquees in New York. This honour requires

95
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.560
twenty years since first commercial release and a notable catalog

96
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.160
of songs. Taylor more than qualifies fourteen Grammys four Album

97
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.720
of the Year wins, owning all her master's record breaking sales.

98
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.199
She's literally written the soundtrack to Our Lives the Funniest Story.

99
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.680
Travis and Jason completely missed the New Heights of Manhood

100
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.639
reference in Wood. A fan suggested merchandise called New Heights

101
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.079
of Manhood Ye, and Jason was confused, What's that mean?

102
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.439
What's a manhoodie? Producer Brandon had to explain, it's a

103
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.319
life of a showgirl reference. Boys. Come on the lyric

104
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.160
New Heights of Manhood. It's the time we were referenced

105
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.279
in the album. Travis was speechless. I didn't understand that

106
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.079
Taylor's going to kill me for not knowing that. Jason admitted,

107
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.240
We're not as good with the Easter eggs as these swifties.

108
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.160
Travis added, they sure know how to plant them and

109
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.360
call them out. The fact that Travis doesn't even realize

110
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.839
when his fiance references their podcast in a song hilarious.

111
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.399
Donna Kelcey understood taylor references better than her sons. She

112
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:42.639
used vigilante escoch lyrics on the traitors, changing don't get

113
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.439
sad Get even to don't get mad Get even though eliminated.

114
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.600
In episode three, Travis said it was so fun to

115
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.680
see her living out her dream. Sweet detail. Selena Gomes

116
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.120
has a framed photo of her and Taylor from their

117
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.360
early friendship days, visible in her life latest Instagram story.

118
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.120
This shows their seventeen year bond remains strong despite Selena

119
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.920
declining to be a bridesmaid. The photo appears to be

120
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.120
from around two thousand and eight, when they met through

121
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.079
dating Jonas Brothers. Taylor told Fallen about Selena's wedding, I've

122
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.839
never seen anything so beautiful as her on her wedding day.

123
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.120
She deserves all this happiness. She joked about light teasing

124
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.120
about the way we used to dress in two thousand

125
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:34.839
and eight during her speech more in a moment, looking

126
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.199
at all these stories together, Taylor's ability to address friendship

127
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:43.240
issues directly with Blake shows incredible emotional maturity. Kim acknowledging

128
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.199
her talent demonstrates how time heals feuds. The songwriter's Hall

129
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.360
of Fame recognition validates her artistic legacy, and Travis being

130
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.959
clueless about his own reference pure comedy gold. The Blake

131
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:59.199
situation proves that even celebrity friendships face challenges but can

132
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.399
survive with honor communication. Taylor didn't let things fester. She

133
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.399
spoke up about feeling like she was getting corporate emails

134
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.680
instead of authentic friendship, and Blake adjusted, that's real friendship.

135
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.279
Kim's compliments feel genuine and show growth from both sides

136
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.000
after years of bad blood. Recognizing each other's talents publicly,

137
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.720
that's mature reconciliation we can respect. The songwriter's Hall of

138
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.399
Fame induction is massive validation that Taylor belongs among the

139
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:31.639
greatest songwriters in history. At thirty six, She's already achieved

140
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.039
legendary status that most artists never reach. Taylor Swift Today

to recognize his own podcast references. The June wedding and

00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.480
June Hall of Fame ceremony timing is perfect. This is

147

Livy living for authentic friendship communication. Shocked by Kim's character

growth and laughing at Travis missing his own Easter eggs,

149
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.279
Stay honest, stay mature, and stay fearless. Swifties,
