00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.560
Calarugashawk Media, Kay Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.160
I'm your host, Ali, and we have breaking news to

3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.960
start today's episode. Taylor has just been officially subpoened in

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.960
the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni legal battle. Plus we've got

5
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.480
updates on the met Gala copyright lawsuits and that Cape

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.920
Cod mansion. So much to cover, Let's dive right in

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.479
first the breaking news that just dropped. Taylor has been

8
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.359
officially served with a subpoena as a witness in Blake

9
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.039
and Justin's legal war over the movie.

10
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:38.880
It Ends with Us.

11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.240
This is a major development that comes literally just days

12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.240
after Blake's lawyer suggested this wouldn't happen. Taylor's camp has

13
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.799
issued an absolutely blistering response, saying that she never set

14
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:52.880
foot on the set of this movie. She was not

15
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.159
involved in any casting or creative decisions. She did not

16
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.679
score the film, she never saw an edit or made

17
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.960
any notes on the film. She did not even see

18
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.439
It Ends with Us until weeks after its public release,

19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.200
and was traveling around the globe during twenty twenty three

20
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.920
and twenty twenty four, headlining the biggest tour in history

21
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.840
her rep emphasized that Taylor's only involvement was licensing her

22
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.200
song My Tears Ricochet from her twenty twenty album Folklore

23
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.840
for the film, just like nineteen other artists did. The

24
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.640
statement concluded with a direct shot at Baldoni's legal team, saying,

25
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.280
this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift's name

26
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.040
to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of

27
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.079
focusing on the facts of the case. That's some serious

28
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.680
fire from Taylor's team. This major update comes just after

29
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.799
Blake's attorney, Mike Gottlieb, told People magazine that Blake herself

30
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.439
will be a witness at her trial and that the

31
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.200
ultimate moment for a plaintiff's story to be told is

32
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.280
at trial. Despite just recently questioning why celebrities like Taylor

33
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.599
would be subpoenaed, claiming they had no relevance to the case,

34
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.599
Baldoni's lawyer has gone ahead and served Taylor anywhere. Baldoni's attorney,

35
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.719
Brian Friedman, defended the decision by claiming Blake was the

36
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.439
one who brought her high profile friends into the situation

37
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.039
without concern for their own personal or public backlash, and

38
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.199
that she used her dragons to manipulate Justin at every turn.

39
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.599
That dragon's comment once again references those alleged text messages

40
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.960
where Blake compared herself to Callisi from Game of Thrones

41
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.680
and called Taylor and Ryan her dragons who protect what

42
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:27.439
she fights for.

43
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.560
We'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this story

44
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:31.360
as it develops.

45
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.159
The trial for this whole legal mess is scheduled for

46
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.000
March twenty twenty six, but with this latest escalation, who

47
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.039
knows what could happen next. Now back to our regularly

48
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:45.960
scheduled stories. Speaking of Taylor and Travis, they were noticeably

49
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.879
absent from this year's Met Gala, and now we know why.

50
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.840
According to sources, the couple did receive invitations to Fashion's

51
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.240
biggest night, but had to decline due to their respective schedules.

52
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.240
Both have been enjoying some downtime following the end of

53
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.000
the NFLC and the Eira's tour, with sources saying they

54
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.439
have been traveling NonStop and very much enjoy it and

55
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.479
are making the most of their time off together. This

56
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.840
would have been Travis's first ever Met Gala, while Taylor

57
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.199
hasn't attended since twenty sixteen.

58
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.719
For those fashion history buffs out there.

59
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.000
Taylor has attended the met Gala six times since her

60
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.639
debut in two thousand and eight. Her looks have evolved

61
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.599
dramatically over the years, from her shimmering gold baggy Mishka

62
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.080
gown in two thousand and eight during her Fearless era,

63
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.639
to a white Ralph Lauren collection gown with that classic

64
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.759
red lip for her Speak Now era in twenty ten.

65
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.360
Her most memorable MET moments include that gorgeous j Mendel

66
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.439
gown in twenty eleven, her silky pink Oscar de la

67
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.000
Rent address in twenty fourteen, and of course, her most

68
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:52.120
polarizing look, that metallic Louis Vaton mini dress with ultra

69
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.759
dark lip and platinum blonde hair in twenty sixteen, which

70
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.680
many fans believe set the stage for her reputation era.

71
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.759
While we miss seeing Taylor on the metsteps this year,

72
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.319
it seems the couple is prioritizing their private time away

73
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.479
from the spotlight. Remember how we talked about Travis keeping

74
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.840
a lower profile this offseason compared to last year, instead

75
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.479
of filming TV shows like Are You Smarter Than a

76
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.279
Celebrity and Ryan Murphy's horror series grotesqueree. He's been focusing

77
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.279
on rest and recovery after that tough Super Bowl loss.

78
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.040
He was criticized for that dinner date with Taylor during

79
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.000
Super Bowl Week in New Orleans, and then performed below

80
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.279
his usual standards in the game, catching just four passes

81
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.839
for thirty nine yards as the Chiefs lost forty to

82
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.800
twenty two to the Eagles. In more legal news, there's

83
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.000
an update on that copyright infringement case we've been following.

84
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.720
Kimberly Morasco, the Florida artist suing Taylor for allegedly plagiarizing

85
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.120
creative elements from her poetry, is now turning to police

86
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.120
to help serve Taylor with legal documents. The case is

87
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.519
stalled because Morasco claims Taylor's location is unpredictable and she's

88
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.199
having trouble delivering the summons. Judge Aileen Cannon has warned

89
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.160
Morasco that failure to properly serve Taylor could lead to dismissal,

90
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.319
which is exactly what happened with her previous lawsuit. Morasco

91
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.720
has detailed her multiple attempts to serve Taylor, which involved

92
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.959
contacting sheriff's offices in California, Tennessee, New York, and Rhode Island.

93
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.759
In California, a process server visited a property link to

94
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.240
Taylor but couldn't verify her presence, and a sheriff made

95
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.199
three attempts but was denied.

96
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.000
Access past the gates.

97
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.800
In Tennessee, a sheriff determined that while Taylor owns property

98
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.079
at the address, she doesn't actually live there. The Rhode

99
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.519
Island Sheriff's office received the legal documents after a security

100
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.800
guard told a process server to turn them over to

101
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.639
the nearest police station and warned the server would be

102
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.879
arrested for trespassing if they returned.

103
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:46.680
Morasco is asking.

104
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.839
The court to extend the May twenty ninth deadline to

105
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.800
serve defendants and to allow alternative forms of service. She's

106
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.040
even requesting reimbursement for the six hundred thirty one dollars

107
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.040
and thirty cents she spent on sheriffs and process servers.

108
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.560
In much lighter news, there's a fascinating new book out

109
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.560
called There's Nothing Like This The Strategic Genius of Taylor

110
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.399
Swift that's currently topping Amazon's Music Business Books chart.

111
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:13.759
Written by Harvard Business.

112
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.519
Review editor Kevin Evers, it details Taylor's strategic rise up

113
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.519
the charts and through the entertainment industry. We actually touched

114
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.199
on this book in a previous episode, but now it's

115
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.720
officially out and making waves. The three hundred four page

116
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.639
book breaks down Taylor's success over nine chapters, each tied

117
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.480
to a key album in her career. It explores how

118
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.160
she's managed to scale her success through targeted marketing campaigns

119
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.480
and artistic decisions, and how she's managed to master the

120
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.480
constant disruption in the music business that has made it

121
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.319
so hard for others to adapt and endure. Evers ultimately

122
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.399
concludes that Taylor is the Beatles of her generation and

123
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.879
a trailblazer whose career will be hard to match. What

124
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.360
an incredible testament to her business acumen.

125
00:06:58.360 --> 00:06:59.079
More in a moment.

126
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.560
Finally, let's revisit that Cape Cod mansion we talked about

127
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.079
last time. We now have more details about Taylor's former

128
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.519
Hyanna's Port home that's on the market for fourteen point

129
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.920
five million dollars.

130
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:20.639
The listing agent, Robert B.

131
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.279
Kinlin, confirmed that Taylor did indeed purchase the property when

132
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.480
she was dating Connor Kennedy, son.

133
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:26.879
Of Robert F.

134
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:31.199
Kennedy Junior, back in twenty twelve. According to Kinlin, who

135
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.879
facilitated the original sale, Taylor lived at the twenty seven

136
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.800
Marchin Avenue address for about six to eight months while

137
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.199
dating Connor. Fun fact, Kinlin never actually met Taylor herself.

138
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.680
He worked directly with her dad, Scott Swift, who handled

139
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.360
the negotiations on her behalf. The five thousand, sixty four

140
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.199
square foot waterfront property has eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a sunroom,

141
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.240
outdoor pool, guest quarters, circular driveway, and a three vehicle garage.

142
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.439
The home, located in the heart of Hyanna's Port, offers

143
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.079
panoramic views across Nantucket Sound and is within eyesight of

144
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.759
the famous Kennedy compound. While the current owners have remodeled

145
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.319
it since Taylor's time there, the property maintains its quintessential

146
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.040
Cape Cod charm from when it was built in nineteen

147
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.800
twenty eight. According to Newsweek, Taylor and Connor dated from

148
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.639
July to October twenty twelve, and they.

149
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.680
Reportedly split due to distance.

150
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.759
The late Ethel Kennedy, Connor's grandmother, once described Taylor as

151
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.120
spectacular and sensational inside and out in an interview with

152
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.320
The Cape Cod Times, and that's all for today's episode

153
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.879
of Taylor's Swift Today. What do you think about Blake's

154
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.080
lawyer saying Taylor shouldn't be subpoened? Are you disappointed we

155
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.399
didn't get to see Taylor at the Met Gala this year?

156
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.279
And would you shell out fourteen point five million dollars

157
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.159
for Taylor's former Cape Cod mansion?

158
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:53.440
