Calarugashawk Media.

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.560
Hey Swifties, welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.800
and oh my gosh, do we have some heartwarming stories today.

4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.879
From the most unexpected celebrity praise to secret music video shoots.

5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.920
Taylor's been busy making moves.

6
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.239
Plus we've got some adorable Travis content and a wild

7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.480
theory about Happy Gilmore two that has the fandom going

8
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.640
absolutely feral. Let's jump right in first up and this

9
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.520
is honestly making me so emotional. A beautiful story about

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.119
Ozzy Osbourne is resurfacing after his passing last week at

11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.000
seventy six. You guys, the Prince of Darkness himself was

12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.679
apparently a massive swiftye. Back in twenty fourteen, Sharon Osbourne

13
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.280
shared this incredible story when Ozzie met Taylor during a

14
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.280
chance shopping encounter and his reaction I'm literally tearing up.

15
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.719
Ozzie told Sharon that Taylor.

16
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.479
Was a true superstar, and get this, he compared her

17
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.680
to Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn all rolled into one.

18
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.760
How beautiful is that the heavy metal legends saw exactly

19
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.640
what we all see in Taylor. That rare combination of talent, grace,

20
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.680
and genuine star quality. Sharon said Ozzy was so mesmerized

21
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.000
he barely spoke during their meeting because he was too

22
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.719
busy staring at Taylor, and Taylor, being the sweetheart she is,

23
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.319
called his words the sweetest thing in the world. This

24
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.159
story hits even harder knowing Ozzy passed away just weeks

25
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.439
after his final performance with Black Sabbath. It's such a

26
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:40.680
reminder that Taylor's impact transcends genres and generations, from metal

27
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.120
icons to pop stars. Everyone recognizes her special quality. Speaking

28
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.159
of people recognizing how amazing Taylor is, we need to

29
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.200
talk about the latest from Aaron Andrews and Charissa Thompson.

30
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.799
Remember how we saw that photo of them hanging out

31
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.480
with Taylor and Travis while they finally spilled some tea

32
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.280
on their Calm Down podcast. Thompson called Taylor everything that

33
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.359
I'd ever hoped and dreamed that she could have been

34
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.520
and more. I mean, same girl, same and Andrews said

35
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.080
Taylor is a twenty out of ten and that their

36
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.280
group of six had a good good time together. They

37
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.960
both kept calling Taylor and Travis adorable together, which is

38
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.439
giving major couple goals vibes. What I really loved was

39
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.159
how protective they were of Taylor and Travis's privacy. Andrews

40
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.319
said they never planned on saying anything because they're so

41
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.719
protective of them and their privacy and what they deserve.

42
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:33.840
That's real friendship right there.

43
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.800
It's so refreshing to see celebrities respecting boundaries while still

44
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.800
sharing how wonderful Taylor is in person, and the celebrity

45
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.919
praise train doesn't stop there. Adam Sandler has been absolutely

46
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.400
gushing about Taylor lately, and it's the sweetest thing.

47
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:50.759
He revealed that he.

48
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.080
And one of his daughters listened to All Too Well

49
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.280
the ten minute version three times in a row during

50
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:57.080
a car ride.

51
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.400
He called it tremendous and said it got me rock in.

52
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.319
But what really got me was when Sandler talked about

53
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.039
how Taylor has met his kids a bunch of times

54
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.240
over the years and how she's ridiculously nice to them

55
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.199
and warm. He literally said, Taylor is incredible and so

56
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.560
damn nice to my family. This is giving major. Taylor

57
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.159
remembers everyone and treats them like gold energy, which we've

58
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.599
heard from literally everyone who meets her. Now, let's talk

59
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.439
about this wild happy Gilmore too. Theory that has swifties

60
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.080
losing their minds. So Travis has a scene in the

61
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.439
movie where he's shirtless getting covered in honey by bad

62
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.719
Bunny while being attacked by a bear. Normal Tuesday for Travis, right,

63
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.479
But here's where it gets interesting. When Netflix posted behind

64
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.599
the scenes footage, fans started speculating that Taylor was the

65
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.360
one in the bear costume, and then Netflix replied to

66
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.960
a comment about it with the eyes emoji I'm literally screaming.

67
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.719
The evidence is admittedly thin, but Taylor did promote the

68
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.199
movie on her Instagram story with a honeypot emoji, writing

69
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.680
that it had me cackling and cheering the whole movie.

70
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.199
She called it thirteen slash ten, and we all know

71
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.439
thirteen is her number. Plus, she's developed such a good

72
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.520
relationship with Adam Sandler and his family, so it wouldn't

73
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.120
be crazy for her to have been on set supporting Travis.

74
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.720
Can you imagine Taylor Swift in a bear costume attacking

75
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.680
her boyfriend with honey for a comedy movie. This is

76
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.600
giving chaotic girlfriend energy and I'm here for it.

77
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.319
But wait, there's more.

78
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.800
According to the Sun, Taylor filmed a secret music video

79
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.560
in Los Angeles last week, and the security was so

80
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.959
tight that people working on set weren't even allowed to

81
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.199
hear the song, only the beat. You guys, what is

82
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.639
she planning? This is giving major ts twelve vibes. Remember

83
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.120
how we talked about those November twenty fourth theories from

84
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.759
Travis's Instagram. Well, secret music videos usually mean new music

85
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.959
is coming. The New York Post mentioned that details are

86
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.920
completely under wraps, but this is presumed to be for

87
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.639
the follow up to the Tortured Poets.

88
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.600
Department lit literally vibrating with excitement.

89
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.279
Taylor's team being this secretive means whatever she's cooking up

90
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:06.920
is going to be huge.

91
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:09.439
More in a moment.

92
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.519
In other news, Mark Murran just revealed he paid fifty

93
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.480
thousand dollars to use one minute of Bigger Than the

94
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.720
Whole Sky in his HBO special Can You Believe That?

95
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.360
He said he reached out to Jack Antonov for help

96
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.120
since Jack co wrote the song, but Jack told him

97
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.319
to go through official channels. What's really sweet is that

98
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.639
Maren has become a total swiftye. He talked about listening

99
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.199
to Midnights on a hike and being impressed by the

100
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.959
longing and sadness and isolation in her music. He said

101
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.879
he finally understood what everyone never shuts up about regarding Taylor.

102
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.600
Welcome to the club, Mark.

103
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:55.120
And finally, there's this beautiful article about Taylor's favorite books

104
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.240
that shows how literature has influenced her songwriting. Did you

105
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.720
know Starlight and Read was inspired by reading about Ethel

106
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.240
and Robert Kennedy's love story, or that Tolerate It came

107
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.600
from reading Rebecca by Daphne du Mourier during quarantine. She's

108
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.720
also a huge fan of The Hunger Games, which makes

109
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.439
total sense given how she's had to fight and survive

110
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.000
in this industry. And like many millennial women, she loves

111
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.800
Sally Rooney's conversations with Friends. Taylor told Entertainment Weekly, it's

112
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.839
like being inside somebody's mind, which is exactly what her

113
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.079
songwriting does for us. Looking at all these stories together,

114
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.319
what strikes me is how Taylor continues to impect people

115
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.319
across all industries and generations, from heavy metal legends to

116
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.720
comedians to actors. Everyone who meets her or engages with

117
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.680
her work comes away impressed by her talent, kindness, and authenticity.

118
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.920
And with secret music videos being filmed and all these

119
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.879
breadcrumbs she's leaving. It really feels like we're on the

120
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.480
verge of a new era between Travis proudly supporting her

121
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.800
in everything, her continued influence on popular culture and potentially

122
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.240
music on the horizon, Taylor just keeps winning. That's all

123
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.199
for today's episode of Taylor Swift Today. What do you

124
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.959
think was Taylor really in that bear costume? Are we

125
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.800
getting TS twelve soon? And how sweet was that Ozzy

126
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.279
Osbourne story? This is Ali reminding you to keep your

127
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.720
eyes peeled for more Easter eggs. Stay fearless, Swifties,
