Calarugashock Media.

2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.720
Hey Swifties, I'm Ali filling in for the vacationing analyst

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.960
with critical updates about the Vancouver finale, record breaking achievements

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.920
and some incredibly touching insights about our girl's impact. Let's

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.879
start with important information for fans heading to Vancouver. Canadian

6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.079
border regulations are causing some serious concern. Their laws restrict

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.719
entry for anyone with certain criminal records, including DUIs, and

8
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.079
many Swifties are just discovering this could affect their travel plans.

9
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.799
While temporary resident permits are available for around one hundred

10
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.280
and seventy dollars, having an Heiress Tour ticket isn't guaranteed

11
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.960
to satisfy entry requirements. Some fans have reported being turned

12
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.719
away immediately at the border, while others who've successfully crossed

13
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.280
recommend being extraordinarily courteous to border agents.

14
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.960
The rehabilitation period typically.

15
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.439
Requires five years without any additional legal issues, and each

16
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.400
case is evaluated individually. Fans are strongly advising each other

17
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:10.439
to consult immigration lawyers before attempting the crossing. Speaking of records,

18
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.719
tailors dominating the publishing world in an unprecedented way. The

19
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.599
Eras Tour book sold an astonishing eight hundred fourteen thousand

20
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.640
copies in just its first two days at Target just

21
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.760
two thousand copies, shy of Barack Obama's record, and she

22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.640
achieved this through a single retailer in less time. Target

23
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.319
ordered two million copies of the two hundred and fifty

24
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.719
six page hardback, and many stores saw fans lining up

25
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.439
pre dawn on Black Friday.

26
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.200
To secure their copies.

27
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.200
The book's success is running parallel to massive sales of TTPD,

28
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.480
projecting three hundred eighty eight thousand units this week, making

29
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.079
it the third best week of the year for the album,

30
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.280
after its two point six million debut and four hundred

31
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.879
thirty nine thousand second week. Some lucky friends received special

32
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:59.400
copies with personalized notes. Vanessa Bryant shared her gift on Instagram,

33
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.400
which in included the same heartfelt message Taylor wrote to

34
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.359
Ava Hunt, daughter of Chief's owner Clark Hunt, about sharing

35
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.520
her proudest moments with close friends. This gesture was particularly

36
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.159
meaningful given that Vanessa and her daughter Bianca attended the

37
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.000
La Show, where Bianca received the twenty two hat during

38
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.439
the performance. The streaming numbers are equally mind blowing, Taylor

39
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.000
claimed twenty twenty four's most streamed artist title on Spotify,

40
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.599
with over twenty six point six billion streams, outperforming the weekend.

41
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.039
Bad Bunny Drake and Billie Eilish TTPD dominated as the

42
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.960
year's most streamed album, breaking records with over three hundred

43
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.080
million streams in one day and more than one billion

44
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.919
in its first week. Women artists claimed an unprecedented eight

45
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.159
of the top ten album spots, including Eilish's hit Me

46
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.080
Hard and Soft, Carpenter's Short and Sweet, and Taylor's nineteen

47
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:57.759
eighty nine, Taylor's Version and Lover. Spotify celebrating by adding

48
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.639
special Easter eggs for swifties of many animations for different

49
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.800
eras on the play button, and ar friendship bracelets through

50
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.080
Snapchat in cities worldwide. Rob Sheffield's comparison of Taylor to

51
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.120
the Beatles is particularly fascinating. He told people that her

52
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.759
magic lies in making deeply personal songs universally relatable. She's

53
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.800
so completely transformed pop music, he explained. This insight is

54
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.639
backed up by cinematographer Rodrigo Prierro, who's worked with Taylor

55
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.280
on four music videos, including Fortnite. He shared that from

56
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.879
their first meeting for The Man he was struck by

57
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.199
her preparation. You might think that someone with that level

58
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.520
of success might be jaded or may just rely on

59
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.319
others to feed her ideas.

60
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:40.360
But she puts in the work.

61
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.520
He particularly noted how Travis's presence during the Fortnite shoot

62
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.919
seemed to energize her, saying she felt very supported by

63
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.759
his presence and probably also proud to show him what

64
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.840
she does and the kind of leader she is. Speaking

65
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.599
of Travis, we got the most entertaining moment on New

66
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.240
Heights when Kylie suggested Love Actually for their movie club,

67
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.080
despite it being one of Taylor's favorite Christmas films.

68
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.199
Travis's reaction was priceless.

69
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.120
He quickly googled it before declaring, Yeah, don't effing torture me.

70
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.879
Torture your husband, but the Kelsey Swift love story is

71
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:18.879
clearly resonating Paul Mark's Holiday touchdown. A Chief's Love Story

72
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.519
just premiered to an impressive three million viewers, with both

73
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.000
Donna Kelcey and Andy Reid making cameos.

74
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.600
Read even joked with reporters, I.

75
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.480
Didn't have a real big part in it, thank goodness,

76
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.680
or the movie probably wouldn't have been as good as

77
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:43.160
it was more in a moment. One Tree Hill star

78
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.720
Tyler Hilton offered perhaps the most touching insight into the

79
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.560
Swift family dynamic. As a longtime family friend whose watch

80
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.439
shows from the VIP tent with Andrea and Scott. He

81
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.480
shared that they still treat her like she's just killing

82
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.000
it at a talent show. They're so excited for her.

83
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.000
Still earnestness as a family is so real. This genuine

84
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.920
family support has been evident throughout the tour, with her

85
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.319
parents and brother Austin regularly mingling with fans and managing

86
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.439
the VIP area. As we approach these final three Vancouver shows,

87
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.480
marking the end of a one hundred and fifty two

88
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.199
tour dates that have literally changed the music industry, Taylor's

89
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.879
left us with an intriguing tease in the Era's tour book,

90
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.759
See You Next, Era Preato believes there's much more to come,

91
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.480
saying she has so much energy and love for creativity.

92
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.120
I am certain there is much more where that came from.

93
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.600
She is unstoppable and her enthusiasm for her craft is contagious.

94
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.519
I know she will keep giving us wonderful music, but

95
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.480
surely she will continue branching out into other areas of

96
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.680
creative output. It's remarkable to think about how much has

97
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.199
changed since the tour began. Taylor's become the first musician

98
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.560
billionaire based solely on performing and songwriting, found love with Travis,

99
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.560
and created what she calls the most exhausting, all encompassing,

100
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.759
but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has

101
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.519
ever happened in her life. From reintroducing friendship bracelets to

102
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.759
global culture to inspiring the highest grossing concert film of

103
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.319
all time, the impact of this tour will be felt

104
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.759
for generations. This has been ali with Taylor Swift today,

105
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.639
as we prepare to celebrate these historic final shows in Vancouver,

106
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.279
remember Swifties. Whether you're navigating border crossings, hunting down that

107
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.000
last copy of the tour book, or just cherishing these

108
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.040
final moments of this era, it's the love and support

109
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.879
of this community that makes everything magical. Until next time,

110
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.720
keep spreading that Swifty love.
