Taylor's been making headlines for so many reasons lately, and we're diving into all of it, from her incredible iHeartRadio wins, to some friend drama, and of course all the sweetness with Travis. Let's get into it. So first up, let's talk about the amazing week Taylor just had At the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Our girl absolutely dominated, taking home Artist of the Year, pop Album of the Year for the Tortured Poets Department, and awards for Fortnite featuring Post Malone. She even won for fan voted categories like Favorite Tour Tradition for those surprise songs we all obsess over. Taylor couldn't be there in person, but she sent the sweetest video message thanking her fans and team.

0:56 She said, this is amazing. Hi, thank you so much to I Heart and thank you mainly to the fans. I really can't tell you how much this means to me because I accept this on behalf of all my tour mates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew, and if that wasn't enough, just two days later, Billboard named her the top Woman artist of the twenty first century. Like, are we even surprised after claiming all top fourteen spots on the Hot one hundred with Tortured Poets tracks and setting records with the Aras tour, She's literally unstoppable. Right now, now, we've got to talk about what everyone's been buzzing about.

1:36 Taylor and Travis. I've got some tea about their relationship that you won't want to miss. So after that whopping Eras tour finally wrapped last December, Taylor was definitely looking forward to some rest with Travis. They even took a romantic international vacation recently. But now that they're back, things haven't exactly been peaceful. According to sources, Taylor's been dealing with some personal stuff lately, and she's kind of gone into hiding mode with Travis. They're spending lots of quality time together, but she's apparently cutting contact with many of her friends. One of the big issues. There's this nasty legal battle going on between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni I'm sure you've heard about the drama surrounding It ends with us right well, Taylor's name has been mentioned in legal filings, and sources say she feels used by Blake.

2:24 Yikes. But that's not all. There's also this heartbreaking situation with her godson, Leo. Taylor is godmother to actress himI King's son, and they've had this special bond for years. Taylor even dedicated never grow up to little Leo after he was born. But now Himi's going through a really difficult custody battle with her ex husband, and Taylor's reportedly devastated by the whole situation. Through all of this, Travis has apparently been her absolute rock. Sources say he's desperate to protect Taylor and keep her safe from any more drama. How sweet is that he's making her his number one priority right now. The couple is even taking some time away from hanging out with Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, not because of any drama, but just because they're focusing on their relationship and giving them mahomes family space with their new baby girl. In much lighter news, let's talk about Selena Gomez. So Selena and her fiance Benni Blanco, recently shared this hilarious story about showing up way too early to one of Taylor's post award show parties. Isn't that so relatable? Selena said she was mortified when they realized they were the first guests to arrive, and Benny totally called her out, saying, there the first people at every single party they go to together. He joked that Selena shows up to parties when his mother would arrive.

3:41 I'm dying. What made it even funnier is that at the time, they were still keeping their relationship secret, so they couldn't even act like a couple at the party. Benny said they didn't touch each other or like really look at each other the whole time. Can you imagine the awkwardness? Now? Of course, they're in game and about to drop their joint album, I Said I Love You First. This Friday, Selena opened up about how Benny helped her reconnect with music after she'd stepped away for a while because she was unsure of her artistic direction. Now for a super cute moment, Taylor got some love from Travis's mom, Donna Kelsey after Taylor's Big iHeartRadio wins. Donna shared a screenshot on Instagram highlighting all of Taylor's awards, including Artist of the Year.

4:27 How sweet is that? Fans went crazy in the comments celebrating this adorable show of support. One wrote, congratulations to your family and of course Taylor and Travis, while another said it was the cutest thing I've seen on social media today. And remember when Travis. Made that iconic surprise appearance during Taylor's Era's tour at Wembley Stadium. He joined her on stage during the I Can Do It with a Broken Heart costume change skit, and it won Favorite Surprise Guest at the awards. Taylor posted on Instagram after that show, saying, I'm still cracking up swooning over Travis's Era's tour debut. Never going to forget these shows. Okay, here's something I found super interesting.

5:09 Did you know Taylor was actually involved in Travis's decision about whether to retire from the NFL. Sources say they definitely discussed this major life decision as a couple. Apparently, Taylor made it. Clear she didn't want Travis to retire, yet she wanted him to go out on a high note rather than ending his career after that tough Super Bowl. Lost to the Eagles. But of course, the final decision was Travis's to make. He had to consider if his body could handle another full season without risking injury. In the end, he decided not to retire, texting Pat McAfee, I'm coming back for sure, Gonna try and get to the best shape I've been this off season and get back to the mountaintop. Travis has been super open about how Taylor has been fully encouraging him to keep playing football.

5:54 He said, I. Got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams. And yes, Taylor will of course be back in the stands cheering him on for the upcoming NFL season.
