00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.839
Calarogu Shark Media. Hey Swifties, welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.

2
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:17.760
It's Sunday, April nineteenth, and we have some absolutely incredible revelations,

3
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.719
including exclusive details that Taylor and Travis have completely cut

4
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.719
their parents out of wedding planning. Her dress being inspired

5
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.760
by Elizabeth Taylor's nineteen fifty wedding to Conrad Hilton, Rob

6
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:33.159
Gronkowski staying mysteriously coy about his invitation, Travis enjoying a

7
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.039
boy's weekend at the Master's while Taylor stepped out in

8
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.079
more bridal inspired looks. Wedding venue rumors being officially debunked,

9
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.840
plus Taylor leading the American Music Awards with eight nominations,

10
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.600
so let's get started. The biggest exclusive Daily Mail sources

11
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.399
reveal that Taylor and Travis have shut up both sets

12
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.840
of parents from wedding planning entirely. Despite Andrea Swift literally

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.320
orchestrating their meeting by encouraging Taylor to give Travis a chance,

14
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.000
She's been completely sidelined. Both sets of parents are all

15
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.280
really happy, but none of them are involved in the

16
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:10.480
wedding planning, although surprisingly Travis is. This is shocking considering

17
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.200
how involved both families have been Andrea and Scott Swift

18
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.239
sold their Pennsylvania home and moved to Nashville to support

19
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.640
Taylor's career, taking active management roles. Donna and Ed Kelsey

20
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.480
stayed married longer than they wanted to ensure their sons

21
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.519
had opportunities, with Donna once traveling Oney three hundred miles

22
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.200
to see both boys play on the same day. The

23
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.760
source explained, Taylor's not the official wedding planner, but most

24
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.719
of the ideas are hers. She's used to taking control.

25
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.319
This will be her big day and along with Travis,

26
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.920
she'll be the mastermind. She literally runs everything past him.

27
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.239
If they don't agree on something, they scrap it. But

28
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.599
the families are close. Taylor and Travis are big on family,

29
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.200
so when they can have any functions, they want their

30
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.760
parents there. Family events are often around holidays or when

31
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.400
they're all at a game, they will go back to

32
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.560
the house and eat together. Andrea and Donna have become

33
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.599
great friends and talk about everyday things like recipes or

34
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.759
TV show recommendations. Donna's recent lax airport comments make more

35
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.159
sense now. When asked how hands on she is with planning,

36
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.840
she replied, oh is a groom's mother ever involved. When

37
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.240
pressed if she wants to be, she paused and said,

38
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.960
I'm just happy, just so happy for them. Asked about

39
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.680
helping pick tuxedos or candles, she said, not really. Kylie

40
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.400
Kelsey defended Donna on her podcast, saying, quit asking me

41
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.400
and my mother in law about upcoming nuptials because nobody

42
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.919
is effing telling you anything. Even if I did have

43
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.280
any information, I'm not effing telling you. That's private information

44
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.080
between family. The adjustment hasn't been easy for Donna, especially.

45
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.759
There are times when all the attention was a bit

46
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.719
too much for Donna. While Travis was famous before, it

47
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.000
was never this kind of fame. Now it's worldwide superstardom

48
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.919
with cameras in her face. But she's adapted. After almost

49
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.479
three years, she's got used to it. There's even a

50
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.960
family joke that Donna is the actual celebrity in the family.

51
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.240
Stunning dress details Taylor's wedding gown will be inspired by

52
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.120
Elizabeth Taylor's nineteen fifty wedding dress when she married Conrad

53
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.800
Hilton Junior, Paris Hilton's great uncle. Taylor spent so much

54
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.800
time looking at old photos of Elizabeth Taylor when making

55
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.479
her music video that she became enamored with the movie

56
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.719
Queen's Style. The source revealed when she started thinking about

57
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.759
her wedding dress, she looked up Elizabeth's old gowns online.

58
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.800
Taylor was drawn to the nineteen fifty gown because it

59
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.000
was so flattering and old fashioned and came in at

60
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.560
the waistline, plus the lace detailing. The designer is an

61
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.120
Oscar de la Reenta, but could be Sarah Burton or

62
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.080
Vivian Westwood. Even more exciting, Taylor might borrow actual Elizabeth

63
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.639
Taylor jewelry. She loves Elizabeth's jewels, so she may just

64
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.159
wear one of her pieces, something on the smaller side

65
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.280
for when she walks down the aisle. But she need

66
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.680
to ask Taylor's estate. Given how supportive the estate was

67
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.960
of her Elizabeth Taylor song and video, it is likely

68
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.800
they would say yes. The wedding band will probably come

69
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.879
from Kindred Lubeck, who made her engagement ring, though she's

70
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.040
been wearing Audrey Rose jewelry recently. This Elizabeth Taylor connection

71
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.959
is perfect given how much the song means to Taylor

72
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.720
and how she relates to the actress as a polarizing

73
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.279
but beloved figure. Rob Gronkowski stayed perfectly coy about his

74
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.040
wedding invitation when asked by Page six, Oh my gosh,

75
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.279
my lips are sealed. I may or may not be

76
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.279
invited to the wedding, but if he is invited, he's

77
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.319
bringing Gronk Beach energy to the reception because I bring

78
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.839
the juice to the dance floor. Gronk and Travis have

79
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.199
history from Gronk Beach events in Vegas, where they first

80
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.639
truly officially met and had dance offs to the Chainsmokers.

81
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.720
They reunited in a DJ booth at a Super Bowl

82
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.319
bash in February, creating a full circle moment. Gronk emphasized,

83
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.120
Travis Kelsey's always invited to Gronk Beach. There's no doubt

84
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.360
about that. The fact that Gronk is being so playfully

85
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.360
secretive suggests he probably is invited, but respecting their privacy,

86
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.560
his may or may not phrasing feels like someone who

87
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.639
knows but won't spoil surprises. Plus, Travis attending Gronk Beach

88
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.879
shows their genuine friendship beyond just NFL connections. While Taylor

89
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.399
stepped out in NYC wearing champagne colored satin skirts with

90
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.759
bridal vibes. Travis enjoyed a boy's weekend at the Masters.

91
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.079
He was spotted Friday through Sunday at Augusta National Golf

92
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.199
Club wearing white bucket hats, sunglasses, and polo shirts. His

93
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.399
close friend Ross Travis was there, plus Jason worked as

94
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.160
an ESPN on course reporter. The Masters has strict no

95
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.360
phones policy, so Travis and friends enjoyed complete privacy. He

96
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.680
was seen in high spirits Sunday, wearing a garage beer hat,

97
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.720
his company with Jason and greeting attendees with handshakes and hugs.

98
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.600
Pat McAfee was also at the tournament, though they weren't

99
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.680
photographed together. This Master's trip shows Travis maintaining his friendships

100
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.959
and interests while wedding planning intensifies. The timing suggests they're

101
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.160
both taking breaks from planning stress. Taylor with NYC friend outings,

102
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.720
Travis with golf weekends. Smart to balance wedding pressure with

103
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:21.560
normal activities. Important venue clarification. Luxury wedding planner Tara Gerrar

104
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.160
officially debunked Ocean House rumors. She confirmed she's the planner

105
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.199
for a bride getting married at Ocean House on June thirteenth,

106
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.639
and it's not Swift. This puts to rest months of

107
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.800
speculation about that specific venue and date. This confirms that

108
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.439
either The Daily Mail's July third NYC reports are accurate,

109
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.240
or there's yet another location we haven't identified. The fact

110
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.480
that a professional planner felt compelled to clarify suggests the

111
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:52.800
rumors were creating real confusion in the wedding industry. Amazing

112
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.879
Awards News Taylor leads the twenty twenty six American Music

113
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.480

record for most AMA wins and history. Following closely are

CBS and Paramount Plus. Fans vote for winners. So we

122
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:32.600
need to mobilize Sweet Swifty story. Wheel of Fortune contestant

123
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.360
Tyler Hall from Fort Worth, Texas, who recently lost over

124
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.240
one hundred pounds and has a Taylor Swift workout playlist.

125
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.800
One Big. He solved multiple puzzles and won a forty

126
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.600
thousand dollar car, screaming oh my God when it was

127
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:50.120
revealed his total winnings reached fifty eight four hundred eleven dollars,

128
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.120
and he returns Tuesday for more chances. This proves Taylor's

129
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.959
music motivates people in all areas of life. Tyler using

130
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.000
her songs for workout motivation and then winning huge on

131
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.160
a game show, that's the Taylor Swift effect, inspiring success everywhere.

132
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:11.279
Beautiful friendship tribute Lena Dunham's new memoir Famesick includes a

133
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.279
heartfelt acknowledgment calling Taylor Tayte and crediting her music for

134
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.920
helping write the book. You sing the songs I wrote

135
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.639
this book to the stories that pulled these stories out

136
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.199
of me. The music that makes the whole world feel seen,

137
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.199
and yet somehow, miraculously, you also pick up every desperate

138
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.480
call at every desperate hour. Their friendship spans over a decade,

139
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:36.080
from Lina's twenty twelve tweets praising Taylor's songwriting to serving

140
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:40.879
as Taylor's bridesmaid in September twenty twenty one. Lina attended

141
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.919
a Chief's game in December twenty twenty five, showing their

142
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.440
bond remains strong. The acknowledgment proves how Taylor's music and

143
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:59.519
friendship inspire creativity in others more in a moment. Looking

144
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:05.559
at this stories autonomous wedding planning, vintage dress inspiration, celebrity friendships,

145
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:11.559
separate social activities, venue clarifications, awards, dominance, fan success stories,

146
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.519
and creative acknowledgments, it shows Taylor and Travis creating their

147
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.360
own path while maintaining important relationships. The parent situation is surprising,

148
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.840
but shows their maturity in taking control of their own celebration.

149
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.600
The Elizabeth Taylor dress inspiration connects perfectly to her artistic era,

150
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.200
and the continued secrecy from friends like Gronk proves how

151
