1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.839
Calarogu, Shark Media, Kay Swifti's welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.

2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.839
It's Sunday, March eighth, and we have some absolutely massive revelations,

3
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.280
including Selena Gomes confirming Dorothea is about her and revealing

4
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.320
an unreleased song called Family, wrestling legend, Jeff Jarrett sharing

5
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.760
how Taylor helped his family after tragedy, the viral moment

6
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.320
of Travis chatting with Kai Trump at a golf event,

7
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.159
retirement speculation heating up, plus Swifty officially being added to

8
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.960
the dictionary. This is going to be an incredible show,

9
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.359
so let's get started. The biggest bombshell this week, Selena

10
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.560
Gomes finally confirmed what we always suspected on Benny Blanco's

11
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.280
podcast Friends Keep Secrets. She casually dropped, well, Dorothea's about

12
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.920
me one of her songs. After nearly two decades of friendship,

13
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.439
Selena is opening up about how they're bond inspired Taylor's

14
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.359
Beautiful ever More track. But that's not even the most

15
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:09.040
emotional part. Selena revealed Taylor wrote an unreleased song about

16
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.719
their friendship called family over a decade ago. The lyrics

17
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.920
apparently said things like you have these amazing dreams. You

18
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.120
want to be in movies about Selena, and you believe

19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.439
in my stupid dreams like playing stadiums about Taylor, Selena said,

20
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.000
now when I listen to that song, both of those

21
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.159
things have happened for us. It makes me want to cry.

22
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.359
This is so beautiful because it shows Taylor was writing

23
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.560
about their friendship dreams when they were still teenagers figuring

24
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:40.200
everything out. Selena explained, I was fifteen and Taylor was eighteen.

25
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.400
We didn't really know what was going on, and so

26
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.400
we've never seen each other any differently. The fact that

27
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.760
Taylor captured their aspirations in song form over ten years ago,

28
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.519
and now they've both achieved those dreams, I'm literally crying.

29
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.560
Selena described family as Taylor saying, I just wrote this

30
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.120
song about us and it was just our story. The

31
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.280
fact that Taylor has been documenting their friendship in unreleased

32
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.040
music for over a decade shows how much their bond

33
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.719
means to her. We need this song to see the

34
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.039
light of day. Can you imagine the vault tracks potential

35
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.759
about Dorothea? Selina said, When I listened to Dorothea, I'm

36
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.280
so impressed how it's eloquently put the song's lyrics about

37
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.479
enduring friendship despite fame. But it's never too late to

38
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.199
come back to my side. And if you're ever tired

39
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.479
of being known for who you know, you know you'll

40
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.199
always know me perfectly capture their relationship that started when

41
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.000
they were dating Jonah's Brothers members. In two thousand and eight.

42
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.800
Now for an incredible story that shows Taylor's heart, WWE

43
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.759
Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett revealed that teenage Taylor essentially

44
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.560
helped raise his daughters after his wife died. Jeff told OutKick,

45
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.800
she was very good to my girls. When my first

46
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.599
wife passed away, Taylor would come around and was really

47
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.199
good with the girls. The details are heartbreaking and beautiful.

48
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.520
Jeff's wife was battling breast cancer and died about five

49
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.800
months later. It was Christmas two thousand and six, and

50
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.680
Taylor had just started breaking locally in Hendersonville, Tennessee. A

51
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.360
friend suggested she visit, and when she came over, the

52
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.520
girls wanted her to sing. She actually ran back home

53
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.080
that day to get her guitar and played about three

54
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.639
hours for what ended up being thirty five to forty

55
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.840
five people. Jeff joked, she was my babysitter. I can

56
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.479
assure you this, she has never been on my payroll.

57
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.240
His daughters even appeared in Taylor's twenty ten Mine music video.

58
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.280
The fact that teenage Taylor was spending hours entertaining grieving

59
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.879
children and supporting a widowed father. That's the Taylor Swift

60
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.199
we know and love, using her gifts to heal others

61
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.759
during their darkest moments. Now for the drama that has

62
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.599
Swifties divided. Travis was caught on video chatting with Kai Trump,

63
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.280
Donald Trump's eighteen year old granddaughter at a TGL golf

64
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.599
event in Palm Beach Gardens. The video shows them having

65
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.360
what appears to be a friendly conversation about golf on

66
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.560
the turf, with Kai smiling and adjusting her necklace while

67
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.800
talking to Travis. This is complicated because of Trump's ongoing

68
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.719
attacks on Taylor. Remember he posted I hate Taylor Swift

69
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.479
on truth Social after her Kamala Harris endorsement, shared Ai

70
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.360
generated fake endorsement images, and continued targeting her even after

71
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.639
winning the election. He's mocked her popularity and tied the

72
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.720
Chief's losses to her presence. Swifties are torn on this.

73
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.639
Some are upset posting things like Travis chatting with Kai

74
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.040
Trump after all the hate from her grandpa. This feels off.

75
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.920
Others are defending it as basic politeness at a public event,

76
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.240
pointing out that Kai isn't involved in politics and is

77
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.959
just a talented golfer trying to qualify for LPGA events.

78
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.199
The irony is that Jason was there interviewing Travis for

79
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.199
ESPN about his golf swing. What should have been a

80
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.879
simple sports content moment exploded because of the family connections.

81
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.399
Travis hasn't commented publicly, but this shows how every interaction

82
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.759
gets scrutinized when you're engaged to Taylor Swift. Speaking of

83
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.879
wedding timing, there are reports that Taylor and Travis's June thirteenth,

84
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.000
Rhode Island wedding might happen just weeks before her ex

85
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.600
Matty Healy marries Gabriette Bechtel. Sources told Radar Online this

86
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.040
certain sense of irony has the industry talking because both

87
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.680
of them occupy such a huge place in pop culture.

88
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.040
The insider worried this timing could make Taylor furious because

89
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.920
she might not want her wedding overshadowed by ex chatter.

90
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.959
They noted the timeline alone invites headlines about fate, awkwardness,

91
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.639
or unfinished chapters, even if in reality both couples are

92
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.839
simply planning their own lives independently. Honestly, this feels like

93
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:43.199
manufactured drama. Taylor and Mattie dated briefly in twenty twenty three.

94
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.360
She's clearly moved on and is planning her dream wedding.

95
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.279
The idea that she'd be upset about coincidental timing seems

96
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.480
ridiculous when she's marrying the love of her life. Major

97
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.000
retirement update. Travis gave what sounds like a farewell speech

98
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.920
on New Heights. When Randy Moss asked what he'll miss

99
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.319
most about football, Travis said, I think it's just those

100
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.879
moments in the big games. The feeling of having to

101
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.639
rise to the occasion, be there for seventy thousand that

102
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.319
are counting on you. That's a feeling I know I'll

103
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.680
never get again. He continued. Those are the things you

104
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.720
cherish the most. The satisfaction that you get and the

105
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.000
successful feeling of all the hard work you put in

106
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.279
is finally paying off. That will be one of the

107
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.720
things I miss them most, for sure. The way he

108
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.279
talked about missing these feelings, suggests he's already mentally preparing

109
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:34.240
for retirement. But wait. ESPN insider Nate Taylor reported on

110
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.439
Kansas City Radio, He's coming back, guys. Every indication I've

111
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.040
gotten is that Travis Kelsey is looking forward to coming

112
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.720
back with free agency starting March eleventh. We should know soon.

113
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.079
The conflicting signals are confusing. Is he giving sentimental farewell

114
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.519
speeches or genuinely planning to return More in a moment

115
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.160
In lighter news, swifty is now officially in dictionary dot com.

116
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.879
The winter update added over one thy five hundred new entries,

117
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.680
with swifty defined as a fan of the music of

118
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.120
Taylor Swift. It joins other fandom terms like beehive, janieite,

119
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.399
and trekky. Remember Taylor trademarked swifty in twenty seventeen and

120
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.639
got full registration in twenty twenty two. Lexicographers only add

121
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.519
words that are widely used, widely understood, likely to stick around,

122
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.959
and useful to a general audience. The fact that swifty

123
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.879
met all these criteria shows our cultural impact. Director of

124
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:46.839
Lexicography Steve Johnson noted English has historically expanded during periods

125
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.079
of significant scientific and cultural change. This legitimizes what we've

126
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.079
always known. Swifty's aren't just fans, We're a cultural movement

127
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.160
that's literally changing language. The Dictionary editors even noted they

128
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.319
might add more Swift decolloquialisms since we speak our own

129
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:07.079
secret language. Our Easter egg hunting and lyric analysis have

130
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.519
created an entire vocabulary. Looking at this week's stories together friendship, revelations,

131
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:19.040
childhood kindness, political complications, wedding timing, drama, retirement confusion, and

132
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:24.279
dictionary recognition, it shows how Taylor's influence spans personal relationships,

133
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.800
charitable actions, political discourse, cultural events, sports decisions, and literal

134
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:35.279
language evolution. The Selena revelations prove Taylor's been documenting meaningful

135
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.919
relationships in song for decades, while Jeff Jarrett's story shows

136
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:43.559
how compassion extends far beyond fame. The Kui Trump situation

137
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.480
demonstrates how political divisions affect even casual interactions, but Travis's

138
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.679
potential retirement speech suggests he's prioritizing his future with Taylor.

139
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.679
Taylor Swift Today has an official Facebook community share your

140
