00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.720
Calarugashawk Media, Hi, and Welcome
to Taylor Swift Today. A short roundup

2
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:20.000
of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, movies and life. Taylor

3
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:25.800
Swift is joining in the celebration with
Chiefs fans worldwide. Tonight, Swift's boyfriend

4
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:31.879
Travis Kelcey and his Kansas City Chiefs
emerged victorious in their Super Bowl clash against

5
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.399
the San Francisco forty nine Ers,
in a game that had Swift showcasing her

6
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:42.520
best sideline enthusiasm. With the game
tied at nineteen heading into overtime, the

7
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.200
Chiefs secured a game winning touchdown in
the final seconds, sealing the victory.

8
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.240
With a final score of twenty five
to twenty two, it marked the seventh

9
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.240
longest game in NFL history. Swift
was visibly overwhelmed with joy after the win,

10
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.759
engulfed in a celebratory embrace that unfolded
in the sweet way she watched the

11
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:06.560
game. Following the trophy presentation,
the couple shared a tender moment, embracing

12
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.560
and kissing on the field. It
was a tense night for Chiefs fans,

13
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.760
including Swift herself. As the game
remained deadlocked, Swift was captured on camera

14
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:21.000
nervously biting her nails when the Chiefs
surged ahead after a crucial play. Late

15
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.359
in the third quarter, Swift shared
an excited group hug with actress Blake Lively

16
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.040
and recording artist Ice Spice, her
companions at the game showcasing her infectious enthusiasm

17
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.159
as momentum shifted in favor of the
Chiefs. The broadcast captured Swift high fiving

18
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.040
and clapping rallying behind the team during
the third quarter. Fewer shots of Swift

19
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.359
occurred during the second half, possibly
due to the team's on field struggles until

20
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.159
their first touchdown. Before that pivotal
moment. In the second quarter, during

21
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.239
a promising Chiefs play, Swift was
seen cheering passionately, only for the team

22
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.000
to face an immediate turnover. In
the first quarter, Swift appeared tens swaying

23
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.719
nervously while intensely focused on the game, which remained scoreless at that point.

24
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:12.039
Footage from inside the stadium posted by
the NFL's official account captured moments of Swift

25
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:16.719
loosening up, including her scene chugging
her drink on the JumboTron. During the

26
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:23.039
pre show performances, Swift and Lively
were spotted swaying together to Post Malone's rendition

27
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.719
of America The Beautiful on CBS's broadcast. Post Malone is a featured artist on

28
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.960
Swift's upcoming album, The Tortured Poet's
Department, set to release on April nineteenth.

29
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.080
Amid much anticipation and meticulous planning regarding
Swift's travel from Tokyo to Las Vegas,

30
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.120
the superstar singer arrived at Allegiance Stadium
for the Super Bowl approximately two hours

31
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.439
before kickoff, sporting an all black
outfit accented with a red jacket and a

32
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:54.080
necklace bearing a number eighty seven charm, a tribute to Kelsey's jersey number more

33
00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:07.199
in a moment, accompanied by Lively
Ice, Spice and her parents Andrea and

34
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:13.039
Scott Swift. Swift was later joined
by singer Lana del Rey and friends in

35
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.000
their suite Swift's attendants at the game
followed the conclusion of her record breaking Eiris

36
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.560
tour in Japan, where she performed
four sold out shows at the Tokyo Dome.

37
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.840
Thanks to a seventeen hour time difference, Swift managed to return to the

38
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.960
US after her final Tokyo show on
Saturday night, with ample time before kickoff.

39
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.800
The relationship between Swift and Kelsey began
after Kelsey revealed on his New Heights

40
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.280
podcast in July that he tried to
give Swift his phone number during one of

41
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.719
her Airas Tour concerts by offering a
friendship bracelet. Since then, the couple

42
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:53.319
has quietly begun spending time together,
and by Swift's attendants at her first game

43
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.479
in September, they were already a
couple between breaks from her tour. Swift

44
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.639
has frequently attended Kelsey football games since
September. The Super Bowl marked Swift's thirteenth

45
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:10.520
game attended since then, fittingly aligning
with her self proclaimed lucky number thirteen.

46
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.800
This game marked the Chief's fourth Super
Bowl appearance in five years and their second

47
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.839
consecutive Super Bowl victory. The key
to accessing Taylor Swift's exclusive Super Bowl fifty

48
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:27.680
eighth suite might just be Jason Kelsey, as demonstrated by Shaquille O'Neil's successful entry.

49
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.040
Initially turned away by security during the
first half, O'Neil didn't give up,

50
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.079
returning after the half, he found
his way in thanks to Jason kelce

51
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:42.000
brother of Travis Kelcey and a recently
retired NFL player himself, Jason Donning,

52
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.680
Vibrant chiefs Attire, and his wife
Kylie were outside the suite when Shaq made

53
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.120
his second attempt. After a brief
exchange and a warm greeting, Shaq was

54
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.480
escorted inside by Jason in a bustling
moment. Elon Musk, carrying a child,

55
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.920
hurried past Swift's suite without a pause, adding to the ray of celebrities

56
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.800
near the suite. Following Musk,
Kanye West, known for his infamous interruption

57
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.759
of Swift's MTV via MA speech in
two thousand and nine, also passed by,

58
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.680
masked and uninvited to Swift's gathering.
As the game progressed, Lebron James

59
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.959
drew attention near Swift's Sweet. Despite
calls from fans, James continued on his

60
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.680
way without stopping. The narrative around
Swift's Sweet wasn't just about arrivals, but

61
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.680
also timely departures. Ed Kelsey made
a Swift exit to the restroom just as

62
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.519
overtime was commencing, managing to return
in time for the game to resume.

63
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.879
This series of celebrity movements around Swift's
Sweet added an extra layer of intrigue to

64
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:46.519
the Super Bowl festivities. Cetaphil is
bridging the gap between football fans and pop

65
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:51.439
star enthusiasts in their latest Super Bowl
commercial. Inspired by Taylor Swift's regular appearances

66
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.399
at Kansas City Chiefs games, the
ad features a genuine father daughter duo from

67
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.519
New York navigating their differing interest.
In the commercial, a father's attempt to

68
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.120
share something on his phone with his
daughter falls flat, leaving him feeling disconnected

69
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.680
and disheartened. Meanwhile, the daughter, uninterested, takes her snacks and heads

70
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.639
to her room for a skincare routine
featuring Cetophil products. The turning point comes

71
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.680
when she overhears the TV announcer downstairs
highlighting the most famous fan of the game.

72
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.040
Intrigued, the daughter joins her father
in the living room, ready to

73
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.360
engage in the football experience, as
he eagerly turns up the volume, knowing

74
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.680
this shared moment has brought them closer. Swift and Kelsey's names are subtly omitted,

75
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:42.000
and no actual NFL footage is displayed
in the advertisement. Moreover, the

76
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.959
jerseys worn by the father and daughter
are not official Chiefs gear, but are

77
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.439
unmistakably read aligning with the team's colors. A notable detail in the ad is

78
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:57.160
the father's wrist adorned with friendship bracelets, a nod to Taylor Swift's iconic symbol

79
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.240
of camaraderie and connection, resonating with
her fan base. On Sunday, Donald

80
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:09.079
Trump reached out to Taylor Swift,
the acclaimed Grammy Award winning artist, asking

81
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:13.040
her not to back Joe Biden in
the upcoming twenty twenty four presidential election.

82
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:18.000
Trump, in a post on truth
Social reminded Swift of the Music Modernization Act,

83
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:24.279
a piece of legislation he signed during
his tenure which revamped copyright law and

84
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.000
streaming rights to benefit artists. Trump
claimed Joe Biden didn't do anything for Taylor

85
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.720
and never will, arguing that Swift
endorsing Biden would betray Trump's contributions to her

86
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:40.959
financial success. He also mentioned,
besides that I like her boyfriend Travis,

87
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.959
even though he may be a liberal
and probably can't stand me, referring to

88
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.920
Travis Kelsey of the Kansas City Chiefs, who was playing in the Super Bowl

89
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:54.279
that Sunday. While Kelsey has faced
scrutiny from conservative quarters, he has largely

90
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.959
stayed away from political discussions. Taylor, who publicly supported Biden and Vice President

91
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.199
and Kamala Harris in the twenty twenty
elections. Has been a vocal critic of

92
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.480
Trump and his Republican allies. She
has expressed regret over not being more politically

93
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.120
active during the twenty sixteen elections,
which saw Trump's rise to the presidency.

94
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.759
In her twenty twenty documentary Miss Americana, Swift did not hold back her criticism

95
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.519
of Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, likening
her to Trump in a wig. Trump,

96
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.600
responding to Swift's political expressions at the
time, humorously noted that his appreciation

97
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.639
for her music had diminished by about
twenty five percent. As of now,

98
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.159
she has not declared her endorsement for
the twenty twenty four election. However,

99
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:45.919
reports from The New York Times last
month indicate that Biden's campaign team is keen

100
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.720
on securing Swift's endorsement in the near
future. Swift's influence was evident last ball,

101
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.600
when her encouragement led over thirty thousand
individuals to register to vote in just

102
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:03.600
one day. This weekend is poised
to be a big one for Taylor.

103
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.639
Her global presence is undeniable. She's
a figure whose every move and word are

104
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.039
analyzed for deeper meanings, particularly hints
at new music or insights into her personal

105
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.200
life. However, a recent statement
Swift made during a concert in Tokyo shines

106
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.159
a light on her meticulous approach to
music and her deep commitment to her fans.

107
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.840
Currently on the international leg of her
groundbreaking Eras Tour, Swift performed four

108
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.840
nights in Tokyo this week. At
one of these shows, she discussed her

109
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.960
upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, which she had announced at the Grammys.

110
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.840
She revealed to the audience that she'd
been working on this album for two

111
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:48.159
years, refining it amidst a hectic
schedule that included a US tour, re

112
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.919
recording an album, releasing new music, and supporting Kelsey at football games.

113
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.360
What stands out from Swift's discussion isn't
just the timeline, but her dedication to

114
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.120
perfection for her fans sake. She
emphasized that the album had to reach a

115
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.320
level of perfection that she believed her
fans deserved. This perspective underscores Swift's unique

116
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.559
connection with her audience. She strives
to meet a high standard that both she

117
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.639
and her fans set This philosophy of
ensuring her work is good enough for her

118
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:26.759
fans reflects a broader challenge determining when
something meets that elusive benchmark. Swift's approach,

119
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:33.120
focusing on her audience's satisfaction highlights her
as not just a savvy businesswoman,

120
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.519
but as someone deeply in tune with
her fan base's desires. Swift's success can

121
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.480
be attributed to her ability to deliver
precisely what her fans want, earning their

122
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.720
affection and loyalty. Her live performances, for example, are marathon events that

123
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:54.879
feature a wide array of her songs, ensuring fan delight. This commitment has

124
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.000
seen fans willingly invest in her music, whether it be live shows, movie

125
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.360
theater screenings, or digital rentals.
This raises an interesting question, why does

126
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:09.720
Swift seem to outperform even Hollywood studios
in pleasing her audience. The answer lies

127
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.960
in her relentless focus on fan satisfaction, proving that making your fans happy is

128
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.440
not only good for the relationship,
but also for business. And there you
