0:03 Hi, and welcome to Taylor Swift Today. A short roundup of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, boobies, and life. On this podcast. You won't find any in depth analysis on the lyrics to her music, and we won't bine about the true meanings behind some of her lyrics. Well, there's dozens of other podcasts for that. We're here just to bring you the headlines. So if there's a Swiftie in your life, you'll be the cool one who knows what's happening in her life. From Billboard is Olivia Rodrigo's Vampire about Taylor Swift. Rodrigo commented on fan speculation that the lead ballad from Guts, on which he scathingly sings about an unnamed bloodsucker fame effort, is somehow about one of her childhood idols. How do I answer this, Rodrigo reportedly whispered to Guardian journalist Laura Snaps when the question about Vampire arose during an interview ahead of the September eighth release of Guts. I mean, I never want to say who any of my songs are about, said Rodrigo. I've never done that before in my career. And probably won't. I think it's better to not pigeonhole a song to being about this one thing. I was very surprised when people thought that she added in. The article was published last Saturday. Swift champion Rodrigo, who was a self proclaimed Swifty very early on.

1:19 I say that's my baby, and I'm really proud, she sweetly shared on social media. When Rodrigo's breakout smash Driver's License was first starting to appear on charts next to Swift's music, Swift gifted her a ring like the one she wore working on her Red album. She is absolutely the kindest individual in the whole world, Rodrigo gushed at the time, and the pair met in person and posed together for a cute photo at the twenty twenty one BRIT Awards. After Rodrigo's debut album Sour dropped, interpolations found in her work proved constantly, Rodrigo ended up retroactively sharing songwriting credits for Deja Vu with Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Annie Clark, also known Saint Vincent for its reminiscence of Swift's Cruel Summer. She also gave writing credits to Swift and Antonoff on one Step Forward, Three Steps Back before Saum's release for including an interpolation of Swift's New Year's Day on the song, Rodrigo and Swift seemingly haven't associated with each other since, at least publicly. In a recent New York Times profile, Rodrigo said she hadn't seen a show on Swift's Ears tour. Later, in the profile about Rodrigo and her sophomore album, Guardian writer Snaps in her own words, notes that Vampire is primarily about her romantic relationship with an older guy.

2:37 Many of its lyrical barbs do point towards this interpretation. There's a line directed at a cool guy, and one pointing out that every girl I've ever talked to told me you were bad bad news. In the tracks second verse, Rodrigo says went for me and not her, because girls your age know better. From Deadline, Meg Ryan was scheduled to return into her big screen romantic comedy Stomping Ground on October thirteenth. However, Taylor Swift spoiled it. The Ryan directed and starring holiday feature What Happens Later from Bleaker Street will now go on November third, the last weekend of AMC's Taylor Swift the Ears Tour concert movie. Hopefully by that time the Swifties will be interested in other movies.

3:23 What Happens Later reps the third movie to shift out of the October thirteenth frame due to the Swift concert after The Exorcist, Believer now moved to October six and lions Gate's Kingdom Stories Ordinary Angels, which is now to be determined. Ryan and David Dicovni play Willer and Bell, ex lovers who see each other for the first time in years, when they find themselves snowed in in transit at an airport overnight. Bleaker Street is calling Ryan's return to Romcom's the hashtag Megaisons. The movie reps her second feature as director after twenty fifteen's Ithaca. While the original top Gun at three hundred fifty seven million dollars worldwide, is Ryan's top grossing film her Tom Hank's romance picks You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle our second and third, respectively, with two hundred and fifty one million and two hundred twenty eight million in worldwide box office, respectively. From the Daily News, the designer behind three of Taylor Swift's now femed eras tour gowns, had no clue her creations would be showcased during the global phenomenon. Nicole plus Felicia designer and creative director Nicole Chang spoke to people about the really crazy experience. I remember we were just really nervous because we didn't know where or when she'd wear them, recalled the Taiwanese born Chang, who in twenty fifteen co founded the label with sister Felicia Cheng. The pair, whose mother and father worked in wedding gown manufacturing, only learned that Swift was donning their designs

4:53 on stage during the massive tour due to videos that surfaced online. I was so happy, said Chang, who noted the whole process was very smooth. We actually sent a few samples for Taylor to try on and just to get her feedback. We also created the dances dresses as well to match with gold and purple gowns. The sisters who worked with Swift on her I bet you think about me Taylor's version video in twenty twenty one, crafted the anti Heroes singer's bejeweled gold ball gown, her teared lilac gown, and the blue halted dress worn when announcing the release date of nineteen eighty nine Taylor's version. More of Taylor Swift today in just a moment from Vulture. She may be hitting a total of twenty countries on her globe spanning eras to her, but Taylor Swift is in high demand to add even more locations, including the Philippines, which two local fans dismayed wasn't part of the initial era's international leg announcement.

5:51 That meant the only way for a Filipino Swifties to see Tay in person is to travel to another country well that or go to a show starring Taylor. Shesh the now famous Taylor Swift drag persona from Mac Coronel after the twenty eight year old performer was hired for a midnights listening party. In twenty twenty two, he and Swifties Philippines, the country's largest fan group dedicated to Swift, began playing their own version of the Era's tour at crowded malls across the country, both to show Swift how much the country loves her and to get her to actually perform there. The group's biggest show to date at the Trainoma Mall in Manila was in front of ten thousand swifties, with some fans willing to snag obstructive view seats just to get a glimpse of Coronel. To put that number in perspective, that's the same amount of people who attended Swift's last official Philippines concert for the Red Tour in twenty fourteen. For each performance, Coronel recreates as much Earrors Tour and Taylor ephemera as possible. The enchanted ball gowns, reputation, snake replica costumes, I put the rhinestones on one by one, the fearless twirling dance moves, the planned viral moments by Swift. He even restages the bestowing of the twenty two hat and they have it. Please follow us on Spotify It, use Google Podcasts or your favorite app of choice.
