Calarugashawk Media.

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.080
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,

3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:14.880
and wow, do we have a lot to catch up

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.800
on this week. Taylor's been making headlines for so many

5
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.800
reasons lately, and we're diving into all of it, from

6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.079
her incredible iHeartRadio wins, to some friend drama, and of

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.079
course all the sweetness with Travis.

8
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:27.160
Let's get into it.

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.600
So first up, let's talk about the amazing week Taylor

10
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:36.280
just had At the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Our girl absolutely dominated,

11
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.039
taking home Artist of the Year, pop Album of the

12
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.320
Year for the Tortured Poets Department, and awards for Fortnite

13
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.320
featuring Post Malone. She even won for fan voted categories

14
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.119
like Favorite Tour Tradition for those surprise songs we all

15
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.640
obsess over. Taylor couldn't be there in person, but she

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.799
sent the sweetest video message thanking her fans and team.

17
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.640
She said, this is amazing. Hi, thank you so much

18
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.920
to I Heart and thank you mainly to the fans.

19
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.120
I really can't tell you how much this means to

20
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.680
me because I accept this on behalf of all my

21
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.480
tour mates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who

22
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.959
toured with us, our crew, and if that wasn't enough,

23
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.879
just two days later, Billboard named her the top Woman

24
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.280
artist of the twenty first century. Like, are we even

25
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.000
surprised after claiming all top fourteen spots on the Hot

26
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.599
one hundred with Tortured Poets tracks and setting records with

27
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:34.120
the Aras tour, She's literally unstoppable. Right now, now, we've

28
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.480
got to talk about what everyone's been buzzing about.

29
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:37.879
Taylor and Travis.

30
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.319
I've got some tea about their relationship that you won't

31
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.640
want to miss. So after that whopping Eras tour finally

32
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.159
wrapped last December, Taylor was definitely looking forward to some

33
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.359
rest with Travis. They even took a romantic international vacation recently.

34
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.640
But now that they're back, things haven't exactly been peaceful.

35
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.640
According to sources, Taylor's been dealing with some personal stuff lately,

36
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.400
and she's kind of gone into hiding mode with Travis.

37
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.120
They're spending lots of quality time together, but she's apparently

38
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.959
cutting contact with many of her friends.

39
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.560
One of the big issues.

40
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.439
There's this nasty legal battle going on between Blake Lively

41
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.759
and Justin Baldoni I'm sure you've heard about the drama

42
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.639
surrounding It ends with us right well, Taylor's name has

43
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.840
been mentioned in legal filings, and sources say she feels

44
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:23.960
used by Blake.

45
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.199
Yikes. But that's not all.

46
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.520
There's also this heartbreaking situation with her godson, Leo. Taylor

47
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.800
is godmother to actress himI King's son, and they've had

48
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.599
this special bond for years. Taylor even dedicated never grow

49
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.439
up to little Leo after he was born. But now

50
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.400
Himi's going through a really difficult custody battle with her

51
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.479
ex husband, and Taylor's reportedly devastated by the whole situation.

52
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.360
Through all of this, Travis has apparently been her absolute rock.

53
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.680
Sources say he's desperate to protect Taylor and keep her

54
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.919
safe from any more drama. How sweet is that he's

55
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.879
making her his number one priority right now. The couple

56
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.000
is even taking some time away from hanging out with

57
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.599
Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, not because of any drama,

58
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.680
but just because they're focusing on their relationship and giving

59
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.800
them mahomes family space with their new baby girl. In

60
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.800
much lighter news, let's talk about Selena Gomez. So Selena

61
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.520
and her fiance Benni Blanco, recently shared this hilarious story

62
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.360
about showing up way too early to one of Taylor's

63
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.360
post award show parties. Isn't that so relatable? Selena said

64
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.879
she was mortified when they realized they were the first

65
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.199
guests to arrive, and Benny totally called her out, saying,

66
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.520
there the first people at every single party they go

67
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.520
to together. He joked that Selena shows up to parties

68
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:41.599
when his mother would arrive.

69
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:42.520
I'm dying.

70
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.439
What made it even funnier is that at the time,

71
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.039
they were still keeping their relationship secret, so they couldn't

72
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.759
even act like a couple at the party. Benny said

73
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.439
they didn't touch each other or like really look at

74
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.479
each other the whole time.

75
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.159
Can you imagine the awkwardness? Now?

76
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.080
Of course, they're in game and about to drop their

77
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.840
joint album, I Said I Love You First. This Friday,

78
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.759
Selena opened up about how Benny helped her reconnect with

79
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.199
music after she'd stepped away for a while because she

80
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.439
was unsure of her artistic direction. Now for a super

81
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.040
cute moment, Taylor got some love from Travis's mom, Donna

82
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.720
Kelsey after Taylor's Big iHeartRadio wins. Donna shared a screenshot

83
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.680
on Instagram highlighting all of Taylor's awards, including Artist of

84
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:27.079
the Year.

85
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:28.279
How sweet is that?

86
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.199
Fans went crazy in the comments celebrating this adorable show

87
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.360
of support. One wrote, congratulations to your family and of

88
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.399
course Taylor and Travis, while another said it was the

89
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.959
cutest thing I've seen on social media today.

90
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.160
And remember when Travis.

91
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.199
Made that iconic surprise appearance during Taylor's Era's tour at

92
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.399
Wembley Stadium. He joined her on stage during the I

93
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.759
Can Do It with a Broken Heart costume change skit,

94
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.120
and it won Favorite Surprise Guest at the awards. Taylor

95
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.759
posted on Instagram after that show, saying, I'm still cracking

96
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.240
up swooning over Travis's Era's tour debut. Never going to

97
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.800
forget these shows. Okay, here's something I found super interesting.

98
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.160
Did you know Taylor was actually involved in Travis's decision

99
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.600
about whether to retire from the NFL. Sources say they

100
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.000
definitely discussed this major life decision as a couple.

101
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.199
Apparently, Taylor made it.

102
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.439
Clear she didn't want Travis to retire, yet she wanted

103
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.800
him to go out on a high note rather than

104
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.160
ending his career after that tough Super Bowl.

105
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:29.920
Lost to the Eagles.

106
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.120
But of course, the final decision was Travis's to make.

107
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.800
He had to consider if his body could handle another

108
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.560
full season without risking injury. In the end, he decided

109
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.319
not to retire, texting Pat McAfee, I'm coming back for sure,

110
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.600
Gonna try and get to the best shape I've been

111
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.959
this off season and get back to the mountaintop. Travis

112
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.959
has been super open about how Taylor has been fully

113
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.959
encouraging him to keep playing football.

114
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:55.319
He said, I.

115
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.240
Got all the support in the world to keep chasing

116
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.920
these dreams. And yes, Taylor will of course be back

117
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.240
in the stands cheering him on for the upcoming NFL season.

118
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:16.199
More in a moment, Let's wrap up with some Gracie

119
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.519
Abrams news. Since she and Taylor are such good friends,

120
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.000
Gracy just earned Billboard's Women and Music Songwriter of the

121
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.560
Year honor. Her hit That's So True reached number six

122
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.759
on the Hot one hundred, which is amazing.

123
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.160
In a recent interview, Gracie.

124
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.000
Mentioned that Taylor is a great example of someone I've

125
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.120
been lucky enough to spend a lot of time around.

126
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.600
She said, every time they're together, she's like, tell me

127
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.120
everything you know, Please teach me how to be. These

128
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:48.399
two collaborated on us, which earned Gracie her second Grammy nomination.

129
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.160
How cool is that friendship?

130
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.319
And that's all for today's episode of Taylor Swift Today.

131
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.120
What did you think about Travis's decision not to retire?
