00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.320
Cala Rocashawk Media. Welcome back to
another episode of Taylor Swift Today. I'm

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.920
your host annalise' idel and we have
some exciting news about the incredible success of

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.199
Taylor's latest album, as well as
some juicy gossip about her personal life.

4
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:26.800
If anyone ever doubted Taylor Swift's megastar
status, the reaction to her eleventh studio

5
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:32.399
album could not have been more emphatic. The Tortured Poets Department, Her surprise

6
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:37.840
double album, released on Friday,
broke streaming records across all the major platforms,

7
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.280
from Spotify to Apple Music. It's
the first album in Spotify history to

8
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.759
have over three hundred million streams in
a single day. It's the biggest pop

9
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.960
album of all time by first day
streams on Apple Music, and on the

10
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.840
day of its release, became the
most streamed album on Amazon Music ever,

11
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.560
which is probably why information on the
billionaire singer, however, in consequential,

12
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:06.400
is now a huge commodity step forward. Tyler Conroy, a self confessed superfan

13
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.719
who has been hired by ITVS This
Morning to be the show's first Taylor Swift

14
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.840
correspondent. According to Conroy, who
has followed her for sixteen years, Swift

15
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:22.079
remains determinedly down to earth despite her
immense stardom. Her biggest weakness monogrammed bath

16
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.840
towels monochrome with ts embroidered on them
to be precise. Conroy, a thirty

17
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.760
one year old Massachusetts born influencer,
has been following Taylor since two thousand and

18
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.159
eight. Aged fifteen, he began
having guitar lessons so that he could learn

19
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.519
to play every song from her second
album, Fearless. He penned the twenty

20
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.840
sixteen biography, Taylor Swift, This
is Our Song. The undoubted zenith of

21
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.519
Conroy's life, Tyler says, took
place when he was invited to spend the

22
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.280
day with his idol at her New
York home after putting on a musical in

23
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.400
her honor. There, he and
other select fans were given free reign over

24
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.879
the stars downstairs living quarters, using
her bathroom and those monogram towels, helping

25
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.319
themselves to anything from her giant fridge
that was filled to the brim, with

26
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.960
her beloved diet coke, eating pizza, and wandering around her library, where

27
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.879
Taylor likes to retreat to read Harry
Potter novels. Her protective father, Scott

28
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.280
was even there at the time,
relaxing in the TV nook and the music

29
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.240
in the background as the astonished super
fan made himself at home. Taylor's chart

30
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.560
topping hit Shake It Off. Of
course, Taylor bought the seven bedroom,

31
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.960
eighteen million dollar Tribeca townhouse from Lord
of the Rings director Peter Jackson in twenty

32
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.879
fourteen. When she was considering its
purchase, Sir Ian McKellen was lodging there,

33
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.000
as Tyler reveals, her father told
me when Taylor went to look at

34
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.039
her apartment, Ian McKellen was sitting
there at the dining table in his pajamas.

35
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.400
After McKellen moved out to make way
for her, Taylor then expanded the

36
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.039
property, snapping up three units in
the building next door for just under ten

37
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.280
million each, before combining the top
two floors TOI together to create one vast

38
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:08.319
space spanning eighty three hundred square feet. Today, the property is estimated to

39
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.759
be worth fifty million dollars. Inside, says Tyler, the decor is rather

40
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.039
rustic. Taylor is notoriously private when
it comes to sharing her life at home,

41
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.719
but in those few pictures of her
apartment on social media, you can

42
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.599
see her yellow walled kitchen has white
rather country style cupboard doors and wooden beams

43
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.719
that span the ceiling. A large
wooden dining table has pride of place.

44
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.199
Another room has a large TV hidden
in a wardrobe concealed behind some dainty looking

45
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.000
Laura Ashley style white curtains, red
walls, velvet couches, and neoclassical chandeliers

46
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.159
throughout also complete the look. Tyler
tells me more Taylor had the whole top

47
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.560
floor. Everything was brown. It
was in an old New York style with

48
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.719
a red sofa and a nook.
Her dad was sat there when I was

49
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.520
there and told me they had watched
Frozen a few weeks before. It was

50
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.280
so cute. I played with her
pet cats, and it was then I

51
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.439
noticed that there was a bird cage
with a broken Grammy award in it.

52
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.639
Taylor had broken it after dropping it
at the award ceremony, and she wanted

53
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.360
to look after it by putting it
in the cage. Unsurprisingly, awards litter

54
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.480
the house, says Tyler. They
were all over the place. There were

55
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.959
a couple on the fireplace. There
was even one on the top of the

56
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.839
toilet. I have never seen anything
like that before. Most people have some

57
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.879
potpourri or some flowers, but she
had a Grammy award on her loo and

58
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.240
the apartment's crowning glory was undoubtedly the
bathroom. To get to it, there

59
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:38.040
is a secret door behind a bookcase. It's a kind of speakeasy, reveals

60
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.079
Tyler. The singer also has a
polaroid camera on a cupboard in the lounge,

61
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.240
as she likes to take regular shots
off the cuff Indeed, her walls

62
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.519
are covered with many polaroid pictures of
her family. It's fitting for someone who

63
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.959
still tries to keep her feet on
the ground, according to her friends,

64
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.240
while she has been recently criticized for
using private jets to visit her boyfriend,

65
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.519
though those who work with her say
she always MUCKs in. Indeed, her

66
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.399
work ethic is said to be stupendous, for which her parents, Andrea and

67
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:14.079
Scott are credited. Taylor regularly insists
that her fans come first and she enjoys

68
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.639
engaging with them. There are no
airs and graces, unlike some, says

69
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.800
a member of her team. That
doesn't mean she shies away from confronting critics.

70
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:28.319
However, her new album has already
made headlines for seemingly criticizing her foes

71
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.759
in its lyrics. Fans claim Kim
Kardashian, with whom Taylor famously has had

72
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.680
a long running feud after a vicious
spat between the singer and Kardashian's ex husband

73
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.920
Kanye West, is the target of
acidic song thank You Amy, as the

74
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.160
letters k, I and M are
capped up to spell out her name,

75
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.439
the ultimate f you, wrote one
Taylor fan online, while another said,

76
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:55.240
Kim, your day of reckoning is
here. Others see Matt Healy, Taylor's

77
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.959
ex and lead singer of band The
nineteen seventy five, as a target of

78
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.680
her song The Small less Man who
Ever Lived with brutal lyrics that seemed to

79
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:08.240
refer to their short lived relationship last
summer. Meanwhile, So Long London seems

80
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.360
clearly aimed at her ex, British
actor Joe Alwyn and the end of their

81
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.240
six year relationship. Truly, when
Taylor speaks, her adoring fans listen well.

82
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.279
Indeed, Tyler Conroy insists she helped
me through my twenties when I was

83
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.240
working myself out. She has been
my professor over the years. When I

84
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.000
met Taylor, she just hugged me
so closely. She knew I had been

85
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.920
bullied, and she knew she had
helped me. I didn't want to let

86
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.800
her go. As well as this
tyler who is gay says she helped me

87
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.839
come out. She helped me speak
out. I was a freshman at college

88
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.439
in New York and was eighteen,
and I thought something deep was going on

89
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.759
and I had to do some deep
searching. Taylor helped me come out to

90
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.439
my family. It was scary,
but I listened to her Fearless album and

91
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.199
I just knew. The last time
I saw her, I asked Taylor to

92
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:56.000
write the word fearless in her handwriting
on a piece of paper. She was

93
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.519
so thrilled to do it, and
I then took it to get a tattoo

94
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.639
of it on my I left foot. I'm an advocate for her and I

95
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.680
know so much about her. I
feel like the luckiest Swifty in the world.

96
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.040
Speaking of Taylor's exes, it seems
the singer herself is not afraid to

97
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.040
throw a little shade their way.
Taylor Swift approved of a joke made at

98
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.639
her ex boyfriend Joe Alwin's expense while
scrolling on Instagram. After detailing the painful

99
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.759
end of their six year relationship on
the Tortured Poets department. On Friday morning,

100
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.199
the pop Star surprised fans by liking
a shady meme that showed a photoshopped

101
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.360
image of the British actor in a
scene from The Hunger Games with his face

102
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.360
projected into the sky, with the
label District BS indicating he had died.

103
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.040
Text above the picture read every time
we get a new lyric, the Hunger

104
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.600
Games canon goes off, which was
a crack at how her songs eviscerate her

105
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:54.560
former lovers. I can't believe Taylor
liked this. She is coming for Joe,

106
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.040
one fan wrote under the post,
which featured various other memes. Another

107
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.360
commented, Taylor liked this post and
I'm here for it. Taylor liking actually

108
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.959
has me so weak. Ha ha
ha ha. A third mused since the

109
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.160
quip about Alwin was the very meme
in the slide show, some speculated that

110
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.800
she may not have seen the diss
The first slide shared by the instagram account

111
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.600
Betch's read decoding Taylor swift Easter Eggs
feels like working two jobs, training for

112
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.519
a marathon, dating a man who
is emotionally unstable, and clocking in the

113
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.960
overnight shift at the FBI all at
once. After releasing her new album at

114
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.360
midnight, Swift took to Instagram to
announce her latest record was actually a surprise

115
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.799
double album, after sparking a flurry
of speculation by posting a countdown clock on

116
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.120
social media, and many believe that
she alluded to Alwyn cheating on her in

117
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.559
the song The Smallest Man who Ever
Lived, prompting her fans to unleash their

118
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.720
fury at the actor. The fourteen
time Grammy winner was in a relationship with

119
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.480
the Conversations with friend Starr for six
years before their shock split in early twenty

120
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.320
twenty three. In the song,
she belts out, and you'll confess why

121
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.879
you did it, and I'll say
good riddance, cause it wasn't sexy once,

122
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.279
it wasn't forbidden. You didn't measure
up in any measure of a man.

123
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.440
I would have died for your sins, but instead I just died inside.

124
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.200
You deserve prison, but you won't
get time. You will slide into

125
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.639
inboxes and slip through the bars.
She also jibes in plain sight, you

126
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.720
hid, but you are what you
did and I'll forget you, but I'll

127
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.240
never forgive the smallest man who ever
lived? In the fourth track, Swift

128
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.399
admits to breaking down crying at the
gym and how the end of hers and

129
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.879
Joe's six year relationship left her feeling
hollow. She sings, did you take

130
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.759
all my old clothes just to leave
me here naked and alone in a field

131
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.240
in my same old town that somehow
seems so hollow now? Swift later accuses

132
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.480
the past lover of abandoning her.
How dare you think it's romantic? Leaving

133
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.279
me safe and stranded? Enraged fans
queried lyrics and added to the cheating speculation.

134
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.519
X was flooded with responses, with
users writing the smallest man who ever

135
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.600
lived? So? Did he cheat
on her? Did he abuse her?

136
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:16.960
Both deserved? Who's the smallest man
who ever lived? For? Did Joe

137
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.039
cheat? I'll never understand how the
hell that pink faced, victorian looking man

138
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.600
dared to cheat on the Taylor Swift
the smallest man who ever lived? For

139
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.600
real? Imagine cheating on the Taylor
Swift. OMG, I'm furious my husband

140
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.120
is cheating. I want to kill
him. She's so real for this.

141
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.960
I love you, Taylor. Imagine
cheating on a beautiful woman like Taylor more

142
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:50.399
in a moment. Fans are also
convinced the title of her album is a

143
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.000
savage nod to the group chat that
Alwyn shared with pals Paul Muscaal and Andrew

144
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:00.559
Scott Swifti's remembered a crucial detail relating
to her ex and her pal Phoebe BRIDGERX.

145
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.519
Back in twenty twenty two, Joe
revealed a mutual friend created a WhatsApp

146
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.720
group with him and Paul called the
Tortured Man Club. They later explained to

147
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.840
Variety that Andrews started the group,
with Paul saying he's just on it every

148
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.799
day. He's just on it by
himself. Joe jokingly added, just messaging

149
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.120
himself good mornings. When a billionaire
music megastar suggests you join her somewhere where

150
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.600
we can be alone, you should
probably expect conditions. And no matter how

151
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.799
often Taylor Swift appears to have a
dig at ex boyfriends in her hits,

152
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.799
they rarely bite back. In fact, Harry Styles even thanked her after they

153
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.720
split up. I don't talk about
my personal life in great detail. I

154
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.200
write about it in my songs,
and I feel like you can share enough

155
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.240
about your life and your music to
let people know what you're going through,

156
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.480
the star said previously, and Taylor
appears to dedicate much of her new album,

157
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.399
The Tortured Poets Department to her breakup
with Joe Alwyn and her brief Rebound

158
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:00.799
dalliance with rockstar Matt Healy, but
neither Joe nor Matt have responded. Despite

159
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:07.200
disparaging lyrics on TTPD, including claims
of infidelity, broken promises and vanity that

160
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.799
fans believe must be aimed at them, It has led to speculation that she

161
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.559
may ask lovers to sign NDAs to
give her an ironclad assurance that they will

162
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.360
never speak about their relationship unless they
want to be sued for millions of dollars.

163
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.320
There may even be binding clauses to
delete pictures and control their posts on

164
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.240
social media, one leading British lawyer
told Mail Online Today. Emma Gill,

165
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.200
a leading British lawyer who represents high
value footballers and celebrities for Vardags, one

166
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.919
of the UK's top divorce firms,
said Taylor Swift has settled a number of

167
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:46.480
scores in song, yet cleverly insured
her ex lovers rarely become liabilities. The

168
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.879
silence of her a list xes doesn't
end with Joe and Matt Harry Styles and

169
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.360
Taylor were said to have split after
an almighty argument on holiday and claims he

170
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.240
kissed someone else, but the British
singer and One Direction star has only been

171
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.200
complimentary about Swift. One of her
earliest boyfriends, Jake Gillenhall, said he

172
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.879
does not resent Taylor Swift for expressing
herself in her music when he was apparently

173
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.879
subject to some of her cutting lyrics, and when asked about his relationship with

174
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.679
Taylor, British actor Tom Hittleston told
a journalist, I would rather not talk

175
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.799
about this, if that's all right. Only John Mayer has spoken of being

176
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.960
humiliated by Taylor in her song Dear
John. Superstar DJ and producer Calvin Harris

177
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.679
also hit out at her in a
series of tweets, but he then hastily

178
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.360
deleted them and has not mentioned it
since. Emma Gill told Mail Online Today

179
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.519
that the silence from Taylor Swift's ex
boyfriends suggests she may have got them to

180
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.480
sign non disclosure agreements. She said, by definition, we'll never really know

181
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.039
what conditions are imposed by non disclosure
agreements, but you can find templates for

182
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.480
relationship. NDA's online and the law
is there to protect your reputation and prevent

183
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:05.519
confidence information about you being used for
someone else's personal gain. NDAs have a

184
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.919
toxic vibe, but an honest conversation
among mature adults is always sensible, and

185
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.039
using a lawyer to capture that can
give both sides comfort as their relationship progresses.

186
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.200
These days, when so much is
shared in public, shrewd millennials are

187
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.960
also keen to set boundaries and expectations
for social media, not to mention more

188
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.720
intimate material, and a prenup will
now often specify how photos or videos have

189
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.200
to be deleted or returned, along
with the keys to the house or car.

190
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.639
She added, Chris Jenner apparently has
one hundred pages of dos and don'ts

191
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:41.559
for anyone dating her family, and
breaching the conditions imposed by another star can

192
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.679
cost you a million dollars. That's
all for this episode of Taylor Swift Today.
