00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.640
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. It's Sunday,

3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.359
our regular weekly episode, and we have some shocking wedding news.

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.519
Selena Gomez has turned down being Taylor's bridesmaid multiple times,

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.039
plus Travis claims they've never argued, mystery LA pop up spotted,

6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.920
Spotify rapped results, and the chiefs explain why Taylor's never

7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:28.879
on the JumboTron.

8
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:30.800
Let's dive into everything.

9
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.159
The most surprising news this week, Selena Gomes has reportedly

10
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.000
said no to being Taylor's bride'smaid. According to Daily Mail insiders,

11
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.640
Taylor has asked her best friend of seventeen years multiple

12
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:48.920
times and Selena keeps politely declining. This is absolutely unprecedented

13
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.399
in Taylor's carefully planned world. The reason Selena reportedly told

14
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.320
Taylor that being a bridesmaid could take too much of

15
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.799
the focus away from her on her big day. With

16
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.799
four hundred sixteen million Instagram followers, that's one hundred and

17
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.480
thirty five million more than Taylor, Selena's worried about overshadowing

18
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.359
the bride. One source said, Taylor's gotten a no, but

19
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.359
I love you response multiple times. This is especially shocking

20
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.959
because Taylor gave a beautiful speech at Selena's September wedding

21
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.079
to Benny Blanco. Taylor even made sure not to mention

22
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.079
her own engagement during the speech, turning her ring around

23
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.799
so it wouldn't distract. She told Jimmy Fallon, nobody wants

24
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.760
you to be like, hey, I know this is your

25
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.040
wedding day. But I was like, don't mention it. Maybe

26
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.840
turn it around. But here's the sweet part. Selena's already

27
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.159
working on her speech for Taylor's wedding. A source revealed

28
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.319
Selena's already working on her speech, which she's confiding is

29
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.799
a tough job after the beautiful one Taylor did at

30
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.599
her wedding. So while she won't be in the bridal party,

31
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.840
she'll still have a special role. Their friendship goes back

32
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:54.599
to two thousand and eight when they met through the

33
00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:00.560
Jonas Brothers. They've supported each other through everything, breakups, albums, tours,

34
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.920
major life changes. Taylor even offered to be Selena's flower

35
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.520
girl at Selena's wedding. Taylor flew in alone and kept

36
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.199
her appearance completely off social media except for photos Selena shared.

37
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.759
Now for relationship revelations, Travis Kelcey claims he and Taylor

38
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.840
have never had an argument in their two and a

39
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.879
half years together. During Wednesday's New Heights with guests George Clooney,

40
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.680
when Clooney said he and a Maal never argue, Travis

41
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.719
jumped in, well, it's only been two and a half years,

42
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.120
and you're right, I haven't gotten into an argument.

43
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:34.000
Never once.

44
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.159
George Clooney explained his philosophy, neither of us are going

45
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.759
to win the argument, so why get in. I've met

46
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.960
this incredible woman that is beautiful and smart, and she

47
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.840
stands for all the most important things that I believe in.

48
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.280
What am I going to fight about? Travis responded, I

49
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.960
am for sure. I'm just taking notes this whole time,

50
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.159
big guy. This aligns with what Taylor said on BBC

51
00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:00.280
Radio about their passions connecting them. That's the coolest thing

52
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.280
about Travis, Like he is so passionate about what he

53
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.919
does that me being passionate about what I do.

54
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:07.520
It connects us.

55
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.639
There's no point in time where he's going to be like,

56
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.280
I'm really upset that you're still making the music. Travis

57
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.599
told GQ their romance was so organic. We fell in

58
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.560
love just based off the people. We were sitting in

59
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.599
a room together with no arguments in over two years.

60
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.960
That's either relationship goals or they're really good at keeping

61
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.439
things private. Mystery Alert in La, a Taylor Swift branded

62
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.759
pop up installation has appeared at eight seven six zero

63
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.879
Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. It's covered with an opaque perimeter,

64
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.599
but visible elements include Aris Tour cutouts and the Disney

65
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.080
Plus logo. The location houses recording studio Mutato Musica. Taylor's

66
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.800
pop up events like this are known to hide Easter eggs,

67
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.560
and the day after the film and documentary series premieres

68
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.360
is her birthday, so that whole weekend something crazy could

69
00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:01.000
be happening. December thirteenth is Taylor's thirty sixth birthday. Fans

70
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.719
are speculating wildly. Could it be a premier event, an

71
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.840
intimate concert, a promotional installation. One fan in the Taylor's

72
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.800
Swift Vault Facebook group wrote, it's set up to look

73
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.159
like the Aras Tour stage and the lights point down

74
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:15.120
at her toward the street.

75
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.000
Another responded, but what's inside?

76
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.079
The timing with the Disney Plus releases on December twelfth

77
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.720
can't be coincidental. This could be a major birthday surprise

78
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.160
or launch event. Keep your eyes on La Swifties. The

79
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.759
Sweetest holiday tradition continues. Brian and Amy Scott in Naperville,

80
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.279
Illinois are creating their Taylor Swift Christmas House for a

81
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.959
third year. What started in twenty twenty three after Amy

82
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.959
saw the Arastour movie has become legendary in Chicago's suburbs.

83
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.959
This year's theme is End of an Era, and it's

84
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.959
their most ambitious yet. They've now recreated ten albums across

85
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.560
their yard over three years. New editions include Lover, Midnights

86
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.519
and the Life of a Showgirl. Brian joked, we never

87
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.199
did Midnights and it's one of our favorites. Travis Kelcey

88
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.519
remains a constant feature. This year, he's on the roof

89
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.639
on one knee, depicting the proposal. Previous years had him

90
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.519
in his chief's uniform and aristoor tuxedo. Their daughter Becca

91
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.319
is creating a midnight rain light display cascading down an

92
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.360
arch with a Neon meet me at Midnight sign.

93
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.959
The house went so viral that Google Maps changed the

94
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.800
label to Swift Miss House.

95
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.800
They use QR codes to direct visitors to donate to

96
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.480
Little Friends, a nonprofit supporting people with autism and developmental disabilities.

97
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.639
Becca hilariously said, hopefully she doesn't think it's creepy. I

98
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.079
just imagine if someone made an entire house of me.

99
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:54.199
More in a moment, Sabrina Carpenter opened up to Variety

100
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.240
about collaborating on the Life of a Showgirl. She revealed

101
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.000
Taylor reached out with the idea ten year old me

102
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.600
for so many reasons, could not believe it. To hear

103
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.480
our voices together, Sabrina explained, I would have never been like, hey, bestie,

104
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.240
put me on a song. She was so gracious to

105
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.439
think of me for a song that spoke to our

106
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.399
life experiences in such a real, genuine way. It really

107
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.800
sums up what so many young women in this industry

108
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.040
go through. The track samples audio from Sabrina's aristour appearance

109
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.040
and features haunting lyrics about the dark side of fame.

110
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.360
They ripped me off like false lashes and then threw

111
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.279
me away, Sabrina posted, I know someone who's freaking out,

112
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.480
and it's me. When the collab was announced, Chiefs President

113
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.399
Mark Donovan revealed why Taylor is never shown on the

114
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.639
stadium JumboTron. On The Up and Adams podcast, he explained

115
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.519
its intentional respect. We're gonna treat you and your relationship

116
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.839
with the same respect that we treat any other player

117
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.079
and coach's relationship.

118
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.720
We're not gonna monetize it.

119
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.519
All those shots you see of Taylor in the stadium,

120
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.920
we never showed Taylor on our big boards in our

121
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.720
stadium never. It was respectful. We're not taking advantage of

122
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.040
this relationship. They also don't play Taylor's songs because it

123
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.319
would feel awkward for Travis. Travis's mindset is when we're

124
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.480
playing a game, when we're in that stadium, it's about us,

125
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.360
and I want it to be about us. Donovan called

126
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.959
Taylor a special kind person and said their experience has

127
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.839
been nothing but good. Taylor told Time she has no

128
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.360
idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast

129
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.439
and doesn't know if I'm being shown seventeen times or once.

130
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.759
She added, I have no awareness of if I'm being

131
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.000
shown too much and pissing off a few dads.

132
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.879
Brads and Chad's.

133
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.600
Spotify rap dropped and Bad Bunny dethroned Taylor. Globally, He's

134
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.199
number one with nineteen point eight billion streams, making this

135
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.199
his fourth time at the top. Taylor is number two globally,

136
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.040
followed by The Weekend Drake and Billie Eilish, but in

137
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.560
the US, Taylor remains number one, followed by Drake, Morgan Wallen,

138
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:06.279
Kendrick Lamar with Bad Bunny fifth Taylor sent personalized video

139
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.160
messages to her top Spotify listeners. Wearing a festive red

140
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.000
sweater by a Christmas tree. She said, if this is

141
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.720
popping up on your phone, then chances are you listen

142
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:16.360
to a lot of.

143
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:17.480
My music on Spotify.

144
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.720
Thank you for all your support with the Life of

145
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:24.199
a Showgirl, she reminded fans about December twelfth, We actually

146
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.240
have a lot of reminiscing that we could do coming

147
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.199
up because I have a docuseries and a concert film

148
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.840
on Disney Plus coming out. She wished everyone a wonderful

149
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.480
holiday season and blew a kiss, saying I'm so grateful

150
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.440
for you. Looking at this week, Selena's bridesmaid rejection shows

151
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.840
even best friends set boundaries. Her concern about overshadowing Taylor

152
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.919
with those follower numbers is actually considerate. The no arguments

153
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.519
claim from Travis is either incredible or their masters at privacy,

154
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.720
the LA pop up mystery right before Taylor's birthday, and

155
00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.120
Disney Plus releases something Big is Coming the Naperville crisis.

156
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.840
Smith's house keeping the tradition alive for year three is

157
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.960
pure dedication, and the Chief's respectful approach to not exploiting

158
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:12.279
Taylor is refreshing in the Monetize Everything NFL. Taylor Swift
