00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.599
Hello Swifties, Ali here with an extended edition of Taylor's

3
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.440
Swift News, covering everything from record breaking earnings to relationship

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.399
revelations and everything in between. Let's dive deep into all

5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:25.920
the latest developments. Taylor has officially become Spotify's biggest earner

6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.839
of the past twelve months, taking home an astounding one

7
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.960
hundred and three point three million dollars in royalties from

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.280
the streaming platform alone. This remarkable achievement represents a significant

9
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.920
victory in Taylor's ongoing advocacy for fair artist compensation. After

10
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.039
famously pulling her music from Spotify in twenty fourteen with

11
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.399
the statement that music should not be free, her return

12
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.560
in twenty seventeen has proven incredibly lucrative. Spotify paid out

13
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.439
a record ten billion dollars to artists over the past year,

14
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.679
with Taylor far outpacing second place earner The Weekend, who

15
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.079
received fifty one point six six million, followed by Arianna

16
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.599
Grande at thirty eight point nine million and Bruno Mars

17
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.480
at thirty two point four million. Interestingly, fans noticed that

18
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.359
both her debut album and reputation were temporarily missing from

19
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:17.840
her Spotify page recently, leading to speculation about upcoming re recordings,

20
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.120
though her debut has since returned to her discography. The

21
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.599
financial milestone comes as Taylor continues her project of re

22
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.680
recording her first six albums, with four already completed and released.

23
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.959
In a revelation that has Swifties examining timelines, Travis Kelcey's

24
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.359
next door neighbor, Wes Bergmann, claims that Taylor and Travis

25
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.560
were actually dating for six full months before their public

26
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.480
debut at the Chiefs Game in September twenty twenty three.

27
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.599
Speaking on the RHAP podcast with Michelle Fitzgerald and Kelly

28
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.560
and Aalbandian, Bergmann stated, I was like the first person to.

29
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:52.920
Know about any of this stuff.

30
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.480
I beat the validating of her showing up to games

31
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.560
and stuff by six months. Bergmann, who lives in the

32
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.760
exclusive gated community of Leewood, Kansas City, added that Travis

33
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.200
is an enigma. On one hand, he's like this big,

34
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.120
tough football player. On the other, He's going to have

35
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.199
about twelve Taylor Swift songs written about him. The timeline

36
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.719
has sparked intense discussion as it would potentially overlap with

37
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.680
Taylor's brief romance with Matti Healy, which reportedly began in

38
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.400
May twenty twenty three and ended just a month later.

39
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.879
When Taylor spoke to Time magazine in December, she explained,

40
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.400
this all started when Travis very adorably put me on

41
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.120
Blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell.

42
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.159
We started hanging out right after that.

43
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.800
She did confirm they had a significant amount of time

44
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.199
that no one knew before their first public appearance, noting

45
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.199
we would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a

46
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:50.439
first date. Eagle Eyed Swifties spotted intriguing clues during Travis

47
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.280
and Jason Kelsey's recent New Heights podcast episode featuring Ram's

48
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.520
quarterback Matthew Stafford. The episode appears to have been recorded

49
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.879
in what fans believe was Taylor's fifty million dollar Tribeca

50
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.479
penthouse in New York City. The revelation began when Jason

51
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.400
pointed out Travis's Tribeca hat, initially thinking it was a

52
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.360
tequila brand, before Travis clarified it's a town in New York.

53
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.360
Not long after, when taking a call from a listener

54
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.199
in Poughkeepsie, Jason quipped, we're in New York too. Fans

55
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.759
immediately began analyzing everything from the background wallpaper to Travis's

56
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.879
knowing smiles and glances off camera, with one commenting, Okay,

57
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.000
I feel like this is Taylor's house and she picked

58
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.360
out that wallpaper. Another observer asked, so, who is Travis

59
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.000
staring at and grinning so big during this video? Could

60
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.120
it be the Queen herself. The couple has spent significant

61
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.080
time in New York City throughout their relationship, with Taylor's

62
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:48.159
Tribeca compound reportedly valued at around fifty million dollars after

63
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.680
she combined multiple units into one massive space spanning over

64
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.039
eighteen thousand square feet. The couple has been enjoying their

65
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.000
mutual downtime with multiple private outings in New York City.

66
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.639
Acording to US Weekly, they recently had a lengthy group

67
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.719
dinner at the exclusive Crane Club that extended into the

68
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.960
early hours of Thursday morning. Travis and four of his

69
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.159
friends arrived. A source revealed Taylor didn't arrive until eleven pm.

70
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.759
There were seven people there including them. They all stayed

71
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.600
until three am. The group were all laughing and having

72
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.000
a great time. The eyewitness described them as a very

73
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.439
cute couple with subtle pda throughout the evening, noting Travis

74
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.199
kept his arm around Taylor. Additional reporting from page six

75
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.720
revealed they insured privacy by using the members only Speak

76
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.759
Easy downstairs from the main steakhouse, dining in a private area.

77
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.240
This NYC appearance follows their snowy getaway to Park City, Utah.

78
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.040
As sources tell Us Weekly they are intentionally enjoying their

79
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.319
mutual break. Taylor and Travis are taking it easy right now.

80
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.040
They've been laying low in Kansas City. Another insider added,

81
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.959
they've been traveling, spending precious time together and letting the

82
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.199
rest of the world go for a bit during this

83
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.600
precious vacation time where both are on career hiatus more

84
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:17.519
in a Moment. The upcoming iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday,

85
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.319
March seventeenth, will celebrate a Taylor Swift milestone with a

86
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.240
special Tour of the Century Award, marking the second anniversary

87
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.839
of the Eras Tour's launch in Glendale, Arizona. The ceremony

88
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.879
will include an exclusive performance captured during that historic opening weekend,

89
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.879
when Taylor unveiled her staggering forty four songs setlist in

90
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.120
a marathon show running more than three hours. The honors

91
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.480
come as recognition for what has become a true cultural phenomenon,

92
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.079
the highest grossing concert tour of all time and the

93
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.000
first to generate more than one billion dollars in revenue

94
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.040
while dominating headlines across five continents over one hundred and

95
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.600
forty nine shows, The telecast faces the difficult task of

96
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.839
selecting just one highlight from that opening night, whether it's

97
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.560
the theatrical moment during Tim McGraw when Taylor appeared to

98
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.519
dive into a stream and swim beneath the runway, the

99
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.959
emotional ten minute version of All Too Well that ended

100
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.160
in a shower of paper snowflakes, or the joyous rendition

101
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.399
of twenty two featuring rock cat style high kicks. In

102
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.720
addition to this special honor, Taylor is nominated for ten

103
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.879
regular awards at the ceremony, including Artist of the Year,

104
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.360
Pop Artist of the Year, multiple nods for Fortnite with

105
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.680
post Malone, and recognitions for her tour elements like the

106
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.759
twenty two hat tradition and Travis Kelsey's surprise appearance in London.

107
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:42.120
Singer songwriter Tucker Harrington Pillsbury, known professionally as role Model,

108
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.160
has sparked debate among Swifties with his cover of Taylor's.

109
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.399
Poignant track Nothing New.

110
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.600
The clip of his band back performance, originally posted on

111
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.839
x by fan account The Swift Society on March thirteenth,

112
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.680
has drawn mixed reactions from Taylor's devoted fans. Many questioned

113
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.399
whether a male artist could truly capture the essence of

114
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.639
a song specifically written about the female experience in the

115
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.480
music industry, with one fan pointedly asking what does a

116
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.560
man know about Nothing New? The original appears as a

117
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.800
vault track on Red Taylor's version, featuring Phoebe Bridgers, who

118
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.480
joined Taylor to perform it live during the Era's tour.

119
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.279
Taylor previously explained the collaboration to Seth Myers, saying, Phoebe

120
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.839
Bridges is one of my favorite artists in the world.

121
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.920
If she sings it, I will listen to it.

122
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.240
I love her voice, and I also love that she's

123
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.480
a very funny person. I really wanted another female artist

124
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.399
who I love to sing it with me because I

125
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.399
think it was a very female artist perspective. While some

126
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.639
critics simply posted delete in response to Role Model's version,

127
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.000
others appreciated his different approach, with one fan commenting the

128
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.160
only time I want her songs covered is in a

129
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.000
completely different genre like this sounds awesome. Another noted if

130
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.120
nothing new had this kind of production, I would like

131
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.399
it a lot more. The divided reactions highlight the passionate

132
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.879
connections shifties feel to Taylor's music and the nuanced messages

133
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:04.120
within her lyrics.

134
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.519
In a surprising.

135
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.120
Development that has reignited old tensions, Justin Bieber appears to

136
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.879
have made a pointed reference to Taylor by posting a

137
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.519
photo of the Blood Moon lunar eclipse set to her

138
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.920
twenty fifteen revenge anthem Bad Blood. The apparent trolling comes

139
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.600
amid growing concerns about Bieber's well being after he recently

140
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.959
shared a heartbreaking post admitting to feeling like a fraud

141
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.000
and unqualified most days.

142
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.519
The two pop megastars.

143
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.879
Had a notable feud in twenty nineteen, when Taylor accused

144
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.320
Justin and his then manager, Scooter Braun of bullying her

145
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.720
after Scooter purchased Big Machine Records, which owned most of

146
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.960
Taylor's master recordings. In a blog post at the time,

147
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.960
Taylor wrote she was sad and grossed out by the sale,

148
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:52.080
calling it her worst case scenario. Justin had responded publicly questioning,

149
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.919
what were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog?

150
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.960
Seems to me like it was to get sympathy.

151
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.519
You also knew that in posting that your fans would

152
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.720
go and bully Scooter. He later apologized for a hurtful

153
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:07.120
Instagram post, but the damage was done. The singer's history

154
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.600
is further complicated by Taylor's close friendship with Justin's ex,

155
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:15.080
Selena Gomez. Taylor had notably liked negative posts about Justin

156
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.240
during one of his many breakups with Selena. The timing

157
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.159
of this apparent reference raises eyebrows, as Justin, now thirty one,

158
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.279
has sparked concern with his recent disheveled appearances, though his

159
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.440
representatives have firmly denied rumors of substance issues, stating he's

160
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.080
in one of the best places in his life and

161
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.879
