00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.359
Cala Rugashawk Media, Hi, and
welcome to Taylor Swift Today. A short

2
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:18.120
roundup of all the headlines around Taylor's
music, tours, movies and life.

3
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:25.160
Jack Antonoff abruptly ended a recent interview
with the Dutch news outlet NRC when questioned

4
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:30.960
about his involvement in Taylor Swift's upcoming
eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

5
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.520
You know, I don't talk about
that, the thirty nine year old

6
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.280
musician told the outlet. If you're
looking for clickbait, you've come to the

7
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.399
wrong place. Thank you for this
conversation. According to the post, Antonof

8
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.320
hung up the call after sharing his
response. While Antonov has not explicitly stated

9
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.600
whether or not he worked with the
thirty four year old Swift on her latest

10
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.960
project, The Los Angeles Times seemingly
confirmed his involvement in an interview published last

11
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.399
month. The outlet wrote that he
had completed work on TTPD, but stayed

12
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.799
mum when asked about the album.
Antonov has been a longtime collaborator of Swift's

13
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.959
since they first joined forces for her
twenty fourteen album nineteen eighty nine, in

14
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.319
addition to collaborating on her subsequent five
albums, Reputation, Lover, Folklore,

15
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.319
Evermore and Midnights. The producer also
worked on the first four of her re

16
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:27.560
recorded albums, Fearless, Taylor's Version, Red Taylor's Version, Speak Now Taylor's

17
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:34.840
Version, and nineteen eighty nine Taylor's
Version. Swift announced TTPD on stage at

18
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.200
the twenty twenty four Grammys last month, at which she took home two awards

19
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.959
for Album of the Year and Best
Pop Vocal Album for Midnights. In addition

20
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.400
to the Album of the Year,
win Antonoff also received the award for Producer

21
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.439
of the Year Non Classical. Fox
News Digital can confirm that Taylor Swift's father,

22
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.200
Scott Swift, was not charged after
an investigation into claims he attacked a

23
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.879
photographer whilehile in Australia for the pop
star's Heiress tour. Officers at the North

24
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.039
Shore Police Area Command conducted an investigation
into the incident that occurred at Neutral Bay

25
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:15.439
Wharf around two thirty am on February
twenty seventh, and concluded the alleged assault

26
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.479
warranted no further police action, a
representative for the New South Wales Police Force

27
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.199
told Fox News Digital. A representative
for Swift didn't respond to Fox News Digital's

28
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:30.159
immediate request for comment. Taylor and
her father were seen on video walking down

29
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:36.000
a jetty while holding hands. The
Midnight singer held a black umbrella covering her

30
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.680
face while being led by Scott to
a waiting car. As the two,

31
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.479
along with their security, approached the
car and the waiting photographers, a verbal

32
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.599
altercation began to break out, and
one of the photographers alleged Scott punched him.

33
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.960
Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way
towards Taylor, grabbing at her security

34
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.280
personnel, and threatening to throw a
female staff member into the water, a

35
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.759
spokesperson for Taylor told Fox News Digital
at the time. However, the photographer

36
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.520
Ben McDonald claimed there was no aggression. There was no situation where we were

37
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.080
aggressive, he told Fox News Digital
of the alleged altercation. You know,

38
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:16.960
I was not aggressive. They just
didn't call for it, you know what

39
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.840
I mean? He added, I
think that the security detail were annoyed by

40
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.319
the fact that we discovered where they
were getting her off their yacht. McDonald

41
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.240
explained that Swift's team was using umbrellas
to shield the pop star from photographers.

42
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.520
Here's what they do this time around, is they shoved it at us,

43
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.960
you know, like they're shoving the
umbrella at us, he said. I

44
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.080
couldn't see in front of me.
I didn't know what was going on behind

45
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.960
the umbrella. At one point I
tried to move the umbrella away from my

46
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.960
face. It was right up in
my face. I couldn't see. And

47
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.400
then the next thing, you know, they shoved harder. And then the

48
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.960
next her father has taken charged at
me and punched me in the face,

49
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.039
he alleged. After the allege ledged
assault, there was an exchange of words.

50
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.479
He said, So then they got
in the car and took off,

51
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:10.039
and then I went into the cop
shop and reported it. It was claimed

52
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.680
that Taylor and Travis shut down Dog
Pound Jim in West Hollywood, California for

53
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.879
a private workout session, allegedly leaving
other gym members waiting outside for two hours.

54
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:25.000
However, the gym has refuted these
claims. Swift had prepared for her

55
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.759
Heiress tour with rigorous workouts at Dog
Pound. The couple, now enjoying downtime,

56
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.959
plans to play house in Swift's mansion
after a romantic Bahamas getaway. Photos

57
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:39.759
obtained by a news outlet showed some
members outside the gym holding water bottles while

58
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.720
seemingly waiting to be let in.
However, a representative for Dog Pound who

59
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.879
spoke to Page six refuted the claim, stating, at dog Pound, we

60
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.160
value our members experience and have never
had anyone wait outside for two hours.

61
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.920
The Daily Mail article does not accurately
reflect the circumstances that day. We respect

62
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.439
privacy of our clients and have no
other comments to share. The spokesperson added.

63
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:16.839
More in a moment, festival organizer
Oscon Airtas recently revealed that Taylor Swift

64
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:23.959
and Jay Z are set to grace
Istanbul with monumental stadium concerts. As agreements

65
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:29.360
have been finalized to bring these iconic
performers to Turkish shores. Fans can mark

66
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.240
their calendars for February twenty twenty five, when these epic concerts are scheduled to

67
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:39.839
take place. Pre sale tickets for
these highly anticipated events will be available starting

68
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.399
November twentieth, giving fans ample opportunity
to secure their spots for what promises to

69
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.000
be an unforgettable musical experience. Airtas
had this to say about the concerts.

70
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.160
We aim to strengthen Turkey's music scene
on the international stage. And provide unforgettable

71
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.680
experiences to art lovers. By hosting
world stars such as Taylor Swift and Jay

72
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.519
Z in Turkey, we aim to
offer music enthusiasts a unique experience. We

73
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.800
will have two hundred trucks of equipment
coming from abroad for the stage. These

74
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.040
concerts will bring together Turkey's cultural richness
and musical diversity with the world, he

75
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:25.199
added. On Tuesday, Missouri lawmakers
discussed how to protect people against potential threats

76
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.319
from technology. The Special Committee on
Innovation and Technology will vote on the Taylor

77
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.959
Swift Act, which criminalizes the publishing
or the threat of publishing an AI generated

78
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.879
sexual image of someone. The bill's
nickname stems from an incident involving the pop

79
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:46.959
star, where fake intimate images of
her were widely circulated online. The bill's

80
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.040
sponsor, Saint Charles Area Republican State
reper Adam Schuadron, said he wants to

81
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:57.879
preemptively protect the average citizen who doesn't
have Swift's wealth of legal resources. They

82
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.360
were able to take it down for
her. However, common Missourians would not

83
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.040
have the same protections afforded to her, said State Repper Adam Schwadron, and

84
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.720
not everyone is Taylor Swift, and
by calling it that it is, I

85
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.560
think using her name to highlight the
problem that exists with AI generated sexual images.

86
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.160
Notably, the proposal empowers the victim
of a fake image attack to sue

87
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:25.800
the creator in civil court and collect
damages. Elon Musk has some new company

88
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.160
on the list of the world's Richest
people, Taylor Swift, who's now reached

89
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.839
her billionaire era. Buoyed by the
rise in Tesla stock and the surge in

90
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:40.240
SpaceX's valuation, Musk has reclaimed the
title of the world's richest person in an

91
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.839
annual ranking of billionaires. Musk's two
hundred thirty one billion US dollar's fortune catapulted

92
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.839
him above Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos
one hundred eighty five billion US dollars and

93
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:59.800
LVMHCEO Bernard Arnaut one hundred seventy five
billion US dollars, who ranked second and

94
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:05.879
third, respectively on the thirteenth Hurun
Global Rich Report. This year marked Musk's

95
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.160
third time in four years at the
top of the roster. Swift made her

96
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.360
debut on the list, her wealth
estimated at one point two billion US dollars,

97
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.720
propelled by her arestour and royalties from
re recording her albums. Mark Zuckerberg

98
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.480
one hundred fifty eight billion US dollars, CEO of Meta Platforms, Inc.

99
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.480
Trailed at number four, but added
more wealth than anyone on the list as

100
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:35.600
Meta shares more than doubled. The
report said. Miami based entrepreneur Ryan Breslow

101
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.559
one point three billion US dollars.
The thirty year old chairman of fintech platform

102
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:45.200
Bolt, entered the list this year
as its youngest self made billionaire. While

103
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.600
sixty six is the average age of
billionaires on the list, ninety three billionaires

104
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.000
ranked are forty or younger. The
list ranked three thousand, two hundred and

105
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.399
seventy nine billionaires, up from three
thousand, one hundred and twelve the previous

106
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.759
year. The number of billionaire increased
by five percent and their total wealth was

107
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.159
up nine percent. Harun said in
a news release. The Wealthiest hail from

108
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.559
twenty four hundred and thirty five companies
and seventy three countries. And there you
