1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.960
Calaroga Shark Media. Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.

2
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.480
It's Sunday, March first, and we have some incredible stories,

3
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.519
including Taylor and Travis's chic NYC date night in nineties

4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.039
minimalist style, the adorable story of an eighty three year

5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.559
old who had no idea who Taylor was while filming Opolite,

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.239
Missouri lawmakers passing the Taylor Swift Act against deep fakes,

7
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.759
Opolite hitting number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred plus,

8
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.719
Travis giving dating advice that probably references how he won

9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.920
over Taylor. So let's dive in first, The Sweetest sighting.

10
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.479
Taylor and Travis enjoyed a romantic dinner at Shay Margo

11
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.880
in New York City, and Taylor served some serious nineties

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.119
Carolyn Bessett Kennedy vibes. She wore a simple black wrap

13
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.520
woolcoat over a black top with black leather knee high boots,

14
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.799
rolling up her sleeves to reveal a Beijan black Louis

15
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.880
Vat logo print. She completed the look with a black

16
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.959
LV handbag, delicate earrings, and her signature red lip. Travis

17
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.760
kept things more casual in a gray wool jacket, gray

18
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.879
wool hat, and blue and gray striped pants. The couple

19
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.719
was photographed leaving hand in hand, and honestly, the understated

20
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.079
elegance was everything. This marks their second public date of

21
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.280
twenty twenty six, after that Beverly Hills Funk dinner in

22
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.359
January where Taylor wore the gray blazer and white skirt.

23
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.319
The timing makes perfect sense with Ryan Murphy's love story

24
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:38.200
having everyone obsessed with Carolyn Bessett Kennedy's minimalist style. Taylor's

25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.560
ability to channel iconic fashion moments while adding her own

26
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.640
Louis Rouitton twist chef's kiss. The black on black palette

27
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:50.040
with those subtle logo details shows she's mastering elevated casual elegance.

28
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.480
A source told US Weekly that Taylor has been intentionally

29
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.560
slowing down, nesting, cooking, spending time with family, and carving

30
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.840
out space to enjoy being in gauged. These intimate date

31
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.319
nights show them prioritizing quality time together while planning their

32
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.479
summer Rhode Island wedding. The handholding photos capture pure contentment.

33
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.439
Now for the most wholesome story, eighty three year old

34
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.639
Barry Reynolds from Kent appeared in the Opaite music video

35
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.840
and had absolutely no idea who Taylor Swift was. This

36
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.000
senior man performs with the Saint Nicholas players in Ringworld

37
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.080
and landed the role through his acting and modeling agency.

38
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.360
When his granddaughters Milly and Francesca heard he'd be in

39
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.280
a Taylor Swift video, they reacted with disbelief, but Barry

40
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.639
told BBC Radio Kent, I'm afraid I have no idea

41
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.879
who she was. He described getting to the North London

42
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.039
set at seven am via taxi because there were no trains,

43
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.560
and by the end of filming he'd met Taylor and

44
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.199
given her an adorable nickname. He called her Nifty Swifty

45
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.240
because of how fast she moved during the dance scenes.

46
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.199
The best part, Barry shared his opinion of the song,

47
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.919
This particular song was very catchy, even though I scored

48
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.360
her a zero. Remember in the video, all three judges

49
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.840
gave Taylor and Dominall's dance routine zeros, so Barry was

50
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.639
literally one of the judges. The fact that he found

51
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.280
the song catchy despite giving it a zero shows his

52
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.039
playful sense of humor. Barry's story resonates because it feels

53
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.879
so ordinary inside something as huge as a Taylor Swift

54
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.960
music video featuring a listers like Graham Norton, Dominall, Gleeson,

55
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.960
and Cillian Murphy. His genuine reaction proves Taylor's ability to

56
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.080
work with people from all backgrounds and make everyone feel comfortable,

57
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.599
regardless of whether they know who she is. Huge celebration

58
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.560
news Opralite hit number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred,

59
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.960
marking Taylor's fourteenth number one hit. But here's the historic part.

60
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.439
This is the first time she's had two number one

61
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.120
singles from one album since nineteen eighty nine, came out

62
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.520
in twenty fourteen, nearly twelve years ago, the Fate of

63
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.919
Ophelia and now Opelite both topped the charts from the

64
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.840
Life of a show Girl. Taylor celebrated on Instagram with

65
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.800
behind the scenes footage, writing just a few Operlite memories

66
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.080
to celebrate the Hot one hundred number one. You guys

67
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.319
just got this song. I can't even sum up my

68
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.680
excitement and I'm so blown away by the love You've

69
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.560
shown this song and video. She explained the significance this

70
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.040
is actually the first time I've had two Hot one

71
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.079
hundred's number ones off of one album since nineteen eighty nine.

72
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.920
She ended with the cutest promise, seriously bouncing off the

73
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.000
walls about this just wanted to say thank you. Might

74
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.279
go by a giant pretzel at the mall to celebrate.

75
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.680
If you know you know pretzel emoji, cactus emoji, Rock emoji.

76
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.439
The pretzel reference connects to the mall scene in Opolite,

77
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.399
where she and dominall visit stores with taylor lyric names.

78
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.600
Those emojis represent the pretzel cactus, Dominal's character's companion, and

79
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:52.199
Rock Taylor's character's friend. Travis actually helped make the Open

80
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:56.839
lighte remix happen. Taylor revealed screenshots of his DM conversation

81
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.920
with DJ Chris Lake, showing how involved Travis's in her

82
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.399
musical projects. The fact that he's contributing to her creative

83
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.680
process beyond just emotional support, that's true partnership. On the

84
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.360
Olympics front, Travis shared that he and Taylor watched the

85
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.240
entire US men's hockey gold medal game against Canada. Me

86
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.839
and Tay watched the entire game. Man, it's just so

87
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.680
king epic. Man. From the first drop of the puck,

88
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.240
that game was NonStop action and had me at the

89
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.600
edge of my seat. They loved every bit of the action.

90
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.040
Taylor's Olympic support continues growing. She commented on alpine skier

91
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.680
Mikayla Schiffrin's gold medal post with historic and gold medal emojis.

92
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.160
When Breezy Johnson got engaged with the alchemy lyrics on

93
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.319
her ring box, Taylor commented, where's the trophy? He just

94
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.759
comes running over to me. Congratulations. She's genuinely invested in

95
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.680
these athletes stories. The irony is perfect, considering Taylor previously

96
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.680
avoided dating athletes, admitting in the end of an Era docuseries,

97
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.279
I've always been like, what would we talk about? But

98
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:07.079
Travis changed everything, as she joked, greatest surprise of my life.

99
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.519
Now she's a sports enthusiast, watching entire hockey games and

100
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:25.600
celebrating Olympic victories. Important legislative news, Missouri lawmakers are considering

101
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.360
the Taylor Swift Act to criminalize non consensual deep fakes.

102
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.240
The bill would make creating fake digital depictions of miners

103
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.439
without consent a criminal offense with prison time if the

104
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.240
images damage reputations, Creators could still be prosecuted even with

105
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.079
disclaimers stating images are fake. This legislation is named after

106
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.639
Taylor because she was victimized by sexually explicit deep fake

107
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.639
images that were widely shared online. Missouri joins efforts by

108
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.160
Alaska and Ohio as the only states without AI abuse laws.

109
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.800
The state level action follows federal Take It Down Act passage,

110
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.600
showing how Taylor's experience is driving protective legislation. In trademark news,

111
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:10.319
Taylor's legal team successfully blocked Cathay Holmes Swift Home bedding

112
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.879
trademark application. Her lawyers argued the cursive branding resembled her

113
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.199
trademarked logo and could mislead consumers. Cathay Home quickly withdrew

114
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.959
the application, calling it not essential to its business. This

115
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.959
case illustrates how trademark law prevents consumer confusion rather than

116
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.360
word ownership. Taylor can't stop everyone from using Swift, but

117
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.879
when companies use stylized lettering resembling her signature branding, especially

118
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.079
in categories where she holds trademarks like bedding, that crosses

119
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.959
into potential confusion territory. The sweetest content came from Travis

120
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.319
giving dating advice on New Heights when a caller asked

121
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.120
how to ask a girl out, Travis said, I think

122
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.000
first you got to figure out what do you like

123
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.560
about her? You like the way she looks, You like

124
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.639
how funny she is, you like how kind she is.

125
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.959
He recommended starting with a complement to gauge how she reacts.

126
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.879
Jason's advice was direct, here's what you do. You ask

127
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.120
her out. Travis agreed, you just got to own it.

128
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.759
You got to have some cohornes. What's the worst she's

129
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.120
gonna say? No. He emphasized having something in the back pocket,

130
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.000
a conversation starter and destination that's enticing. This is hilarious considering.

131
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.480
Travis famously courted Taylor in perhaps the most public way

132
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.639
possible by shouting her out on his podcast after failing

133
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:30.879
to give her his number at the Era's tour. His

134
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.919
advice about compliments, conversation starters, and having confidence basically describes

135
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.480
his own successful strategy. Looking at this week's stories together,

136
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:46.360
intimate date nights, wholesome video collaborations, chart topping success, Olympic enthusiasm,

137
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:51.480
protective legislation, trademark victories, and relationship wisdom, Taylor and Travis

138
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.480
continue balancing public success with private happiness. Their ability to

139
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.039
enjoy simple pleasures like hockey games and NYC dinners, while

140
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.279
