Callarogashawk Media.

2
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.800
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.640
and we're continuing with our summer updates during this quieter

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:16.440
news period.

5
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:17.679
But don't worry.

6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.120
We've got some really sweet stories about Taylor and Travis's

7
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.000
romantic getaway's, Travis's potentially improving singing voice, and some interesting

8
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.719
family dynamics. Since it's still a slower news cycle, I'm

9
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.240
going to dive deep into all these stories because they're

10
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.200
giving us such great insights into Taylor's life. Right now,

11
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.359
let's get started. First up, and this is honestly so romantic.

12
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.520
Taylor made a major break with tradition over the July

13
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.359
fourth weekend. Instead of hosting her usual star studed bash

14
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.880
at her Rhode Island mansion, something she's been doing for years,

15
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.880
she opted for a romantic getaway with Travis to Montana.

16
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.439
According to Dumois, the couple spent the holiday weekend at

17
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.880
the ultra exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana.

18
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.799
Let me paint you a picture of.

19
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.560
Just how exclusive this place is, because it's honestly mind blowing.

20
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.040
The Yellowstone Club is a member's only resort that counts

21
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:13.359
bill gates justin Timberlake, Mark Zuckerberg and Tom Brady among

22
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.799
its members. We're talking about membership fees that reportedly top

23
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.879
seventy eight thousand dollars a year, plus a joining fee

24
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.560
that was around four hundred thousand dollars back in twenty eighteen,

25
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:25.799
and that's probably gone up since then.

26
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:27.280
But here's the catch.

27
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.359
Before you can even be eligible for membership, you have

28
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.920
to purchase a property within the club's community first.

29
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.159
What makes this story even more.

30
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.799
Interesting is that this isn't the first time Taylor and

31
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.480
Travis have visited the Yellowstone Club. Remember back in March

32
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.719
when we talked about them having a romantic getaway in

33
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.959
Montana with Aaron Andrews that was at this same place,

34
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.879
and Travis basically confirmed their July fourth trip when he

35
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.480
was spotted wearing a Yellowstone Club T shirt during a

36
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:54.959
recent episode of New Heights.

37
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:56.280
The shirt has this.

38
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.319
Distinctive logo with a mountain lion and the letters why

39
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.519
and sea fans are so observant, I love it. This

40
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.079
raises some really intriguing questions about whether Taylor and Travis

41
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.000
might be considering investing in.

42
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:09.719
A property there.

43
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.280
The club offers everything from plots of land to custom

44
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.520
mega mansions, and all the pricing is available upon request.

45
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.560
You know that means it's expensive.

46
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.879
In return for all that money, members get access to

47
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.000
a private ski resort, an eighteen hole golf course, concierge service,

48
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.560
and they're close to Yellowstone National Park.

49
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.159
It honestly sounds.

50
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.080
Like the perfect retreat for two people who are constantly

51
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.960
in the public eye. Now, why didn't Taylor do her

52
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.120
usual Rhode Island July fourth party? While there might be

53
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.360
a very practical reason for that. Her watch Hill mansion,

54
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.120
you know, the one she bought for seventeen point seventy

55
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.400
five million dollars in twenty thirteen and immortalized in the

56
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.759
Last Great American Dynasty, is currently undergoing some pretty extensive renovations.

57
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.840
The project will add an additional bedroom and turn one

58
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.479
existing room into an enlarged bedroom suite, adding about four

59
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.960
hundred square feet total to the property. The renovation plans

60
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.800
were actually drawn up back in November and December twenty

61
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.400
twenty four, right before her final Erastur show, with an

62
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.080
expiration date of December twenty twenty five. The work is

63
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.080
being done by Rhode Island based contractors led by someone

64
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.759
who specializes in high end residential and commercial construction, so

65
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.879
it makes perfect sense that she'd want to avoid the

66
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.520
chaos of construction during what should be a relaxing holiday weekend.

67
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.960
I also love that Taylor chose to spend the holiday

68
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.120
focusing on her relationship with Travis rather than hosting a

69
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.080
big party. Remember last year she couldn't do her usual

70
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.800
July fourth bash because she was touring, but she made

71
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.039
up for it in August when she hosted Blake Lively,

72
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.800
Ryan Reynolds, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis at the Rhode Island House.

73
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.599
This year, having the choice between a big social gathering

74
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.319
and intimate time with Travis, she chose romance that really

75
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.319
speaks to where their relationship is right now. Speaking of

76
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.240
their relationship dynamics, let's talk about George Kittle's adorable story

77
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.680
about hanging out with Taylor and Travis during tight End University.

78
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.639
George was interviewed by NBC Sports Bay Area and gave

79
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.479
us some behind the scenes details about that viral love

80
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.400
story moment we saw on social media.

81
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.040
George explained, we have a fun Monday night welcome.

82
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.360
Party at our hotel in Nashville for tight End university

83
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.439
and Taylor and Travis came and they're like, hey, do

84
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.639
you guys want to go to Broadway? And I was like,

85
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.000
I would love to go to Broadway with you guys.

86
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.319
Can you imagine being casually invited to hit Broadway with

87
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.079
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey.

88
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.800
What a life. But here's the really sweet part.

89
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.480
George said he was handing drinks to his wife Claire

90
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.839
and to Taylor when he decided he just had to

91
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.160
tell her that Love Story is one of his favorite songs,

92
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.120
definitely his favorite Taylor Swift song, and right as he

93
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.600
was telling her this, the song came on the speakers.

94
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.560
He said, I was like, I'm not going to miss

95
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.319
this opportunity. You don't get to sing love Story with

96
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.920
Taylor Swift very often, and it was just an app

97
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.680
salute riot and something I'll probably remember forever. What I

98
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.879
love about this story is how spontaneous and genuine it was.

99
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.800
George could have played it cool, but instead he was

100
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.079
like a fan meeting his idol, which is so relatable,

101
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.839
and Taylor clearly embraced the moment and sang along with him.

102
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.439
It shows how down to earth she is and how

103
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.759
she makes people feel comfortable around her. George mentioned that

104
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.639
since he spends his off seasons in Nashville and Taylor

105
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.560
moved there when she was fourteen to pursue music, they

106
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:29.680
had that connection.

107
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.519
To bond over too.

108
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.399
Now let's talk about something that has fans absolutely buzzing,

109
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:41.079
Travis's potentially improving singing voice. At the American Century Championship

110
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.879
golf tournament, Travis and Jason performed Bob Seger's Old Time

111
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.600
Rock and Roll, and fans were shocked by how good

112
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.600
Travis sounded. The performance was complete with choreographed dance moves,

113
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.560
and in classic Jason fashion, he chugged a canned beverage

114
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.240
and threw it into the audience. But what really got

115
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.240
people talking were Travis's vocals. Fans were commenting things like, OMG,

116
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.519
they killed it, and yeah, Travis has a voice.

117
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.800
Has he been training with Taylor? And is it just me?

118
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.000
Or is Travis's voice getting better and better? Another fan wrote,

119
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.160
Trav's been getting some lessons from Tay.

120
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.040
I mean, wouldn't that be the cutest thing ever?

121
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:22.279
Imagine Taylor giving Travis singing lessons in their downtime. This

122
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.639
isn't the first time Travis has impressed people with his

123
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.120
karaoke skills. Last year, at the same tournament, he won

124
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.720
an award for his performance of White Snakes, Here I

125
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.079
Go Again and adorably dedicated the win to Taylor, saying, Taylor,

126
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.079
this is for you. He's also gone viral for vibing

127
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.160
to Taylor's songs on the golf course. It's so sweet

128
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.759
how he's not shy about showing his love for her music.

129
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:45.720
The fact that his voice seems to be.

130
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.079
Improving has everyone wondering if Taylor really is giving him

131
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.160
some tips. I mean, she's got fourteen Grammy wins to

132
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.439
her name, so she'd definitely be a good teacher. Plus,

133
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.759
we know how supportive they are of each other's careers,

134
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.720
so it would make perfect sense for her to help

135
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.480
him with his singing if he's interested in getting better.

136
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.720
In some Family Dynamics news, we got a rare comment

137
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.639
from Kylie Kelsey about Taylor. During an interview with Ed

138
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.839
Sheeran on Kylie's Not Gonna Lie podcast. Ed was talking

139
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.920
about how the most applause he's ever gotten was when

140
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.879
he brought Eminem on stage in Detroit, calling it a

141
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.000
cheat code because Detroit is Eminem's hometown. When he asked

142
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.360
Kylie which artist would be the cheat code for an

143
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:31.519
audience in Philadelphia, she immediately responded Taylor, noting that Pennsylvania

144
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.000
is home for Taylor since she was born in West Reading.

145
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.199
Ed then said it would be Taylor anywhere, and Kylie agreed,

146
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.519
saying true, very true. It's such a simple exchange, but

147
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.399
it really shows how Kylie has embraced Taylor as part

148
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.079
of the family. Remember, both Kylie and Ed are pretty

149
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.360
private about their relationships with Taylor, so even this small

150
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:56.360
comment feels significant. It also highlights something we've talked about before,

151
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.519
how Taylor and Travis's relationship has brought together these different worlds.

152
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.560
Here you have Kylie, who's very much focused on family

153
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:08.160
life and her podcast acknowledging Taylor's universal appeal in this natural,

154
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:09.120
unforced way.

155
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.879
It's not like she's gushing or trying to get attention.

156
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.399
She's just stating the fact that Taylor would be a

157
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:19.319
crowd pleaser anywhere. Let's also talk about the ongoing legal

158
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.399
situation that's been affecting Taylor's friendships. According to the Daily Mail,

159
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.759
there are reports about how Taylor's dad, Scott, and Travis

160
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.720
have been protecting her during the Blake Lively ordeal. We've

161
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.600
covered this drama extensively in previous episodes, the subpoena, the

162
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.879
dragon texts, the alleged extortion attempts. While a judge ruled

163
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.519
that texts between Taylor and Blake are still relevant to

164
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.639
Justin Baldoni's case, Papa Swift is reportedly continuing to fight this.

165
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.039
It's interesting to think about Travis's role in all of this.

166
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.720
We know he unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram, which seemed

167
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.639
like a show of solidarity with Taylor, and sources have

168
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.000
mentioned how Travis has been supportive during this whole mess.

169
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.320
It really showed how he's not just Taylor's boyfriend. He's

170
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.480
become her partner and protector. The fact that he's willing

171
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.960
to get involved in her legal dramas and support her

172
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.919
through difficult friendships shows how serious their relationship has become.

173
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.600
During a recent appearance on the podcast Bustin with the Boys,

174
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.600
Travis addressed how their public appearances sometimes get misinterpreted. He said,

175
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.120
it gets thrown out there as it's like we're trying

176
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.919
to seek attention every now and then, but it's like

177
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.480
we're just enjoying life. And having fun going to hockey games,

178
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.919
kind of introducing her to some more of the sports

179
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.120
world that he added, we're having fun with it man,

180
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.799
being a couple. I love this perspective because it really

181
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:41.720
emphasizes how they're just trying to live their lives and

182
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.159
enjoy normal couple activities. Yes, they're two of the most

183
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.320
famous people in the world, but at the end of

184
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.320
the day, they want to go to hockey games and

185
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.200
golf tournaments and have fun together.

186
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:52.799
The fact that Travis is.

187
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.559
Introducing her to some more of the sports world is

188
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.600
so sweet. It shows how they're sharing their interests with

189
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:09.559
each other more in a moment. Speaking of sharing experiences,

190
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.840
Taylor recently accompanied Travis to a family wedding and the

191
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.799
reaction was so heartwarming. One of the wedding guests, Cheyenne

192
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600
Wade Rust, posted on Instagram still can't believe we met

193
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.440
Taylor while celebrating the quorums. She was as kind, down

194
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.639
to earth and lovely as you'd hope. What a surreal,

195
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:32.639
sparkly moment. I'll never forget. This really speaks to Taylor's character.

196
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.440
She could have stayed in the background or been standoffish

197
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.519
at a family event where she didn't know many people,

198
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.799
but instead she was warm and kind to everyone she met.

199
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.759
The fact that this guest described her as down to

200
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.080
earth and lovely shows that Taylor's public persona isn't an act.

201
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.879
She really is that generous and kind in person.

202
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.399
Looking at all these stories together, what really strikes me

203
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.480
is how Taylor and Travis seemed to be building something

204
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.720
really solid and lasting. They're not just dating, they're integrating

205
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.279
into each other's families, supporting each other through difficult times,

206
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.919
sharing hobbies and interests, and creating new traditions together. The

207
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.480
Montana getaways could become their new July fourth tradition instead

208
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.759
of the Rhode Island parties. Travis might continue improving his

209
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.039
singing with Taylor's help. They're finding ways to have normal

210
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.440
couple experiences despite their extraordinary circumstances. The fact that they

211
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.200
chose private time in Montana over a public party in

212
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.559
Rhode Island really says something about their priorities Right now,

213
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.159
after years of very public relationships and constant scrutiny, Taylor

214
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.799
seems to have found someone who values their private moments

215
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.039
together as much as she does, and Travis, who could

216
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.159
easily get caught up in the fame and attention that

217
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.279
comes with dating, Taylor Swift seems more focused on just

218
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.480
enjoying their time together. And that's all for today's episode

219
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.200
of Taylor Swift Today. What do you think about Taylor

220
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.960
skipping her traditional July fourth party for a romantic Montana getaway.

221
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.639
Are you convinced that Taylor might be giving Travis singing
