00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.919
Hey, Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. It's Sunday,

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.039
January eleventh, and we have so much to unpack, including

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.039
the New York Times compiling everything we know about the wedding,

5
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.640
Taylor leading with nine iHeartRadio nominations, the Traders cast being

6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.879
terrified of Swifties if they vote out, Donna Kelcey, a

7
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.559
French winery selling out from one docuseries appearance, and John

8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.759
Fogerty's emotional reaction to Taylor's support. This is a packed episode,

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.359
so let's dive in. The New York Times just published

10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:43.039
the ultimate wedding Speculation Roundup, and it's everything. They confirm

11
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.960
The engagement happened a few weeks before the August twenty

12
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.280
sixth announcement, at a garden in Lee's Summit.

13
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.079
Missouri Ed Kelsey spilled that detail.

14
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.600
The ring is officially confirmed as designed by Kindred Lubeck

15
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.799
of Artifacts Fine Jewelry, estimated between seven to nine carrots

16
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.799
worth two hundred fifty thousand to five hundred thousand dollars.

17
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.319
Taylor revealed she'd sent Travis a video of Lubec's work

18
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.799
over a year before he proposed. When I saw the ring,

19
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.400
I was like, I know who made that. And also

20
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.799
you listen to me the fact he was planning for

21
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.719
over a year. It makes my heart flutter about the

22
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.920
wedding date. Taylor dodged Graham Norton's question about twenty twenty six,

23
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.159
but said, oh, you'll know. She joked about inviting anyone

24
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.760
I've ever talked to because the only stressful weddings are

25
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.640
ones where you have a small amount and people are

26
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.000
on the bubble. She immediately added, I shouldn't have said

27
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.400
any of that. Classic Taylor over sharing. Rhode Island rumors continue.

28
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.239
She owns holiday house in watch Hill bought for seventeen

29
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.840
point seventy five million dollars cash in twenty thirteen. Ocean

30
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.359
House hotel down the road is known for weddings and

31
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:59.239
keeps surfacing in speculation, though they're maintaining client confidentiality. Governor

32
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.359
McKee even tweeted Rhode Island has some of the best

33
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.079
wedding venues in the world, just saying. Travis revealed on

34
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.520
New Heights that all his friends get married in summer,

35
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.759
not fall, which conflicts with football. When Jimmy Fallon asked

36
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.240
about a DJ Travis said, we're live music kind of people.

37
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.319
Of course they are wedding party speculation. Taylor's been a

38
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.759
bridesmaid for Lena Dunham, Brittany Lamana, and Abigail Anderson Barrard.

39
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:31.159
Travis was Patrick Mahomes's groomsman and Jason's best man. Jason

40
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.800
has said, hopefully I'm the best man. We'll see. Trav

41
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.960
has a lot of friends. I'm just hoping to get

42
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:37.759
the opportunity.

43
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.039
Dress. Possibilities are endless.

44
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.520
They wore Ralph Lauren for engagement photos, and he designed

45
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.479
Selena's wedding dress. Taylor wore Vivian Westwood on tour, who

46
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:53.199
designed Charlie XCX's courthouse wedding dress. The Time suggests listening

47
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.319
to dress to tide us over clever Huge News. Taylor

48
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.439
leads the twenty twenty six iHeartRadio Music Awards with nine

49
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.759
nominations Artist of the Year, Pop Star of the Year,

50
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.199
Fate of Ophelia for Song of the Year, Pop Song

51
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.680
of the Year, Best Lyrics, Best Music Video, and the

52
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:17.280
New Favorite TikTok Dance category. The Era's Tour, film docuseries

53
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.080
and Tour itself are also nominated. She's followed by Sabrina Carpenter,

54
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.439
Alex Warren, and Bad Bunny, with eight nominations each. The

55
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.479
awards are March twenty sixth. Will she attend this year?

56
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.680
Last year, she won Pop Album for TTPD and Tour

57
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.680
of the Century, but only sent a video. The Funniest Story,

58
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.879
Alan Cumming revealed on Jimmy Kimmel that Trader's cast members

59
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.680
are scared of Swifties. Kimmel asked if he was intimidated

60
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.439
by the idea of perhaps having to banish Taylor, Swift's

61
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.319
future mother in law, adding that could get you killed.

62
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.000
Cummings said, the players talk about it quite a lot.

63
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.560
Kimmel warned, they will feast on you. They will swarm,

64
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.560
they will attack you. One contestant admitted being a bit

65
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.400
worried about the Swifties. Comming called it another added layer

66
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.439
of menace. Donna debuts Thursday at nine pm on Peacock,

67
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.159
A French winery sold out after appearing in the docuseries,

68
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.040
Eagle eyed fans spotted a bottle of sansir By Terras Blnches.

69
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.040
Taylor wasn't even drinking it, but has said it's her

70
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.800
favorite white wine. The forty dollars bottle immediately sold out.

71
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.600
Co owner Laurence told AFP the reaction is pretty mad.

72
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.720
He said, you can't put a price on it. Even

73
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.680
if we had wanted to place one of our bottles

74
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.680
in such a widely watched series, we couldn't have afforded it.

75
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.439
The power of a tailor's swift appearance. Josh Charles cleared

76
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.040
up the Travis fight rumor from the Fortnight video on fallon.

77
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.639
He explained it wasn't a fight.

78
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.839
He just told Travis, you know I always liked you,

79
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.040
and this year you were kind of a dick about

80
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.199
the twenty twenty three AFC Championship when the Chiefs beat

81
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.800
the Ravens. Travis laughed and explained, I knew I had

82
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.319
to come in with some swagger. He got a Raven's

83
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.439
veteran to commit a personal foul, He got in our

84
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.040
heads and it worked. Charles said Travis was actually great

85
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.959
and such a good dude, but he has no issues

86
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.000
rooting against him when they play the Ravens. Taylor's eight

87
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.120
miles per show claim is being fact checked. Canadian Running

88
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.079
magazine did the math. The stage is one hundred twenty

89
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.199
yards a football field, so she'd have to run end

90
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.319
to end one hundred eighteen times, or once every three

91
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.720
minutes for the entire show. That's two full sprints per

92
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.079
song for forty five songs. They think it's more like

93
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.399
five to six miles. Still incredible. In heels, Runners World

94
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.600
calculated her treadmill workouts at sixteen miles, running the entire

95
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.079
set list while singing an adjusting pace to match song tempos.

96
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.920
The docuseries shows her strength training in hokahs. Maybe she

97
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.680
should register for a road race. The Life of a

98
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.800
Showgirl title track is climbing u UK charts. It returned

99
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.759
at number forty six on the Official Singles Chart, up

100
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.160
from its debut at number seventy six.

101
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.439
This is only its second week charting.

102
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.199
Fate of Ophelia rocketed from number forty to number two,

103
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.480
Opalite returned at number eleven, and Elizabeth Taylor squeaked back

104
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.399
at number ninety one. The UK has a three song

105
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.160
limit per artist, which blocks other Showgirl tracks from charting. Weirdly,

106
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.759
they're crediting the title track to only Taylor, not as

107
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.319
a duet with Sabrina. Three tracks are rising post Christmas

108
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:42.759
as holiday music clears out more in a moment. The

109
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.720
most emotional story John Fogerty's reaction to Taylor's support. When

110
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.920
she visited Colbert in December and learned about Fogerty's fifty

111
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.360
year fight for his CCR masters, she shouted.

112
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.160
Yeah, let's go, John, visibly moved by their kinship.

113
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.160
Fogerty told USA Today, it was so sweet of Stephen

114
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.480
to mention me, and Taylor was very gracious.

115
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.000
That was wonderful of her.

116
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.319
He felt her pain personally when her masters were sold,

117
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.680
like a dagger in my heart. He called her re

118
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.920
recording strategy fascinating. That pushed elements of the universe in

119
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.720
the right direction. The sweetest detail. Fogerty became a tailor fan.

120
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.879
Driving his daughter Kelsey to school. We would listen to

121
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.519
Taylor together, and eventually I became a fan.

122
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.519
My goodness, so many great songs.

123
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.360
They met Taylor backstage in LA and he appreciates her

124
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:37.959
sweet acknowledgment of Kelsey about finally owning his music after decades.

125
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.560
I created these songs, so they're my children. I sing

126
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.480
them now, and for a long time I didn't to

127
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.720
have them come back to me. I get to caress

128
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.480
and cherish them. It's a completion of a long journey.

129
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.199
Looking at all these stories, we're getting clearer wedding pictures

130
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.240
with summer timing, live music, and possibly Rhode Island. The

131
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:02.439
iHeartRadio nominations proved the life of a showgirl's continued dominance.

132
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.160
The Trader's cast being scared of us. We've trained them well,

133
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.240
from sold out wine to fact checking running claims to

134
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:14.199
chart comebacks. Taylor's influence touches everything, and that moment with

135
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.800
John Fogerty shows how artists supporting artists and ownership battles

136
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.959
creates real change. The wedding speculation will only intensify as

137
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.000
we get closer to summer. Will Jason be best man?

138
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.040
Will Taylor wear Ralph Lauren or Westwood? Will it be

139
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:34.159
Rhode Island? Will Ed Sheeran perform? So many questions. Taylor

140
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:38.080

stay fierce, stay protective, and stay fearless.

149
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:12.320
Swifties
