00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:14.240
Calaugashawk Media, Hi, and Welcome
to Taylor Swift Today. A short roundup

2
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:20.519
of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, movies and life. Taylor

3
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.440
Swift has left Australia after her father, Scott, was accused of assaulting a

4
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:29.640
photographer. Her private jet departed from
Sydney just hours after the alleged incident.

5
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.880
The thirty four year old singer had
just completed her final concert in the city

6
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:39.560
as part of her Heiress tour.
Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelce flew to

7
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.719
Australia on a Bombardier Global six thousand
plane, which was also seen leaving the

8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.200
airport. Taylor's team and her father
are believed to be on board the jet.

9
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.880
Taylor had been in Australia for a
series of sold out concerts in Melbourne

10
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.159
and Sydney, which concluded on Monday
night. She now has a few days

11
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:03.280
off before her next performance in Singapore
on March second. The departure comes following

12
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.840
an incident involving her father, Scott. He was accused of assaulting a photographer

13
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.079
named Ben McDonald at a fairy wharf
in Neutral Bay in the early hours of

14
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:18.079
Tuesday morning. After the Australian leg
of the tour ended. According to Taylor's

15
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:23.159
team, Scott allegedly punched the photographer
after threats were made towards a female staff

16
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.280
member. However, McDonald, the
CEO of Matrix Media Group, disputed this,

17
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:33.239
stating that Taylor was the only woman
present and criticized the statement as utter

18
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.680
rubbish. McDonald claims the altercation was
captured on camera and did not show the

19
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.280
photographers acting aggressively. The incident is
currently being investigated by the North Shore Police

20
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.159
Command. McDonald initially mistook Scott for
a security guard and was surprised to learn

21
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.680
that he was Taylor's father. He
said he was unsure about the cause of

22
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:59.079
the alleged assault and described the encounter
as unlike anything he had experienced in his

23
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.799
twenty three years as a photographer.
Footage of the incident showed Taylor and her

24
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.719
father walking with large umbrellas blocking the
view. McDonald started filming when a security

25
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.400
guard told him not to touch the
umbrella and there was some movement behind it.

26
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.639
McDonald reported the incident to the police, but did not require medical attention.

27
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.039
Scott has been accompanying his daughter throughout
her sold out heiress tour and has

28
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.080
been praised for his interactions with fans, including handing out sandwiches and VIP passes.

29
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.960
In the evolving narrative of Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelsey's relationship, a new

30
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.400
report sheds light on Swift's decision to
establish certain boundaries as their connection deepens.

31
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.159
According to Life and Style, Swift
has laid down a hard rule forbidding Kelsey

32
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:49.280
from visiting strip clubs, a directive
that Kelsey, known for discussing his strip

33
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:54.080
club visits on his New Heights podcast, reportedly accepts. Travis is fine with

34
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.360
Taylor giving him her thoughts and opinions
on how to navigate such a public relationship.

35
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.639
He really does appreciate it, shared
a source with the outlet. Despite

36
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:10.199
Kelsey's openness to Swift's guidance on navigating
their high profile relationship, the report indicates

37
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:16.159
some reluctance on his part regarding other
stipulations, particularly Swift's request to avoid taking

38
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.560
photos with female fans. Taylor also
doesn't want him posing for photographs with female

39
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.199
fans, mostly to avoid inaccurate headlines, the source revealed, adding that he

40
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.039
had to roll his eyes at that
one. The discourse on boundaries appears to

41
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:35.400
be reciprocal, with Kelsey having his
own set of deal breakers. This mutual

42
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.000
understanding, however, hasn't stopped speculation
about whether Kelsey might have recently sidestepped one

43
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.560
of Swift's boundaries. Following his Super
Bowl victory, Kelsey's Las Vegas celebration raised

44
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.840
eyebrows. Despite the absence of a
strip club setting, reports highlighted Kelsey's proximity

45
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:59.599
to scantily clad women, though it
remains uncertain whether their interaction extended beyond the

46
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.960
commune enjoyment of Swift's music. The
source stresses that the boundaries are not about

47
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:11.879
imposing control, but about navigating the
complexities of a public relationship thoughtfully. Swift's

48
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.639
preference for FaceTime over texting when apart
hints at a deeper desire for transparency,

49
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:23.160
which the source interprets as a precaution
rather than an act of surveillance. She

50
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.879
didn't overtly say it, but she
secretly wants to see where he is and

51
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.519
who he's with. Taylor's a good
judge of character and fears that some of

52
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.439
his buddies are red flags, the
source explains. Ultimately, the narrative underscores

53
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.839
a shared commitment between Swift and Kelsey
to fortify their relationship through mutual respect for

54
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.600
established boundaries. Taylor loves Travis and
thinks these rules will help things with their

55
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.839
romance as well as his career stay
on the rails, The source concludes.

56
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.519
A video has resurfaced showing Travis Kelcey's
hypothetical game choices involving Kim Kardashian in a

57
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.519
kiss Mary kill scenario long before his
current relationship with Taylor Swift, known to

58
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:09.040
have feuded with Kardashian, started During
a twenty sixteen interview with after Buzz TV,

59
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.279
Kelsey, then looking quite different from
today, was asked to choose among

60
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.879
the Kardashian Jenner sisters Courtney, Kim, Chloe Kendall, and Kylie for who

61
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:23.279
he'd kiss Mary or kill. Initially
perplexed, Kelsey admitted, ah, man,

62
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.759
this is going to sound bad,
but I don't even know which one's

63
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.800
which, eventually deciding kill Chloe,
marry the Kylie. No, I don't

64
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.199
know one of them. Interviewer Christina
Zeis then witnessed Kelsey's struggle, remarking on

65
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:41.439
the real pressure of the choice,
to which Kelsey specified the younger one kiss

66
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.600
the older one Mary, ultimately confirming
he'd marry Kanye West's former wife, kiss

67
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.959
Kylie, and kill Chloe. This
conversation took place around the same time Taylor

68
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.240
Swift's well publicized conflict with Kim Kardashian
began, a rivalry dating back eight years

69
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.920
from the interview, has openly discussed
how her contentious relationship with Kim and her

70
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:10.360
then husband Kanye West affected her psychologically, driving her into seclusion and leading her

71
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:15.480
to label the pair as trash.
The animosity between Swift and Kardashian originated in

72
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:21.399
twenty sixteen over a leaked phone call
where Swift allegedly approved a controversial lyric by

73
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:27.160
Kanye in his track Stronger, where
he claimed to have made Swift famous.

74
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:32.240
The discord has been reflected in various
public exchanges and Swift's music, notably in

75
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:39.240
her twenty seventeen album Reputation. The
feud was further complicated by a two thousand

76
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.160
and nine incident where Kanye interrupted Swift's
acceptance speech at the Video Music Awards,

77
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.639
though they briefly reconciled in twenty fifteen. Interestingly, in the same interview,

78
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:55.759
Kelsey also mentioned he'd choose to marry
Katy Perry over Taylor Swift. This mention

79
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.839
comes as Perry, who has toured
with Swift in Australia, recently had her

80
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.959
own own history of conflict with Swift, leading to the song bad Blood.

81
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:09.040
However, Perry and Swift have since
moved past their disagreement, with Perry showing

82
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:15.319
support for Swift's music at a recent
event. Swifties are buzzing with fresh speculation

83
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.759
about Taylor Swift's personal life, particularly
her relationship with Joe Alwyn. This wave

84
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.839
of speculation has been fueled by Swift's
recent performance in Sydney, Australia, where

85
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.519
she introduced two unexpected mashups during her
Airis concert on February twenty fourth. Fans

86
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.240
are especially intrigued by the combination of
should Have Said No from Swift's debut album

87
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.720
and You're Not Sorry from Fearless.
Both songs are potent breakup anthems that delve

88
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.439
into the theme of infidelity with lyrics
that hint at confronting a cheating partner.

89
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.000
This has led some fans to wonder
if these mashups are Swift's way of addressing

90
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:57.439
rumors about Alwyn's fidelity during their six
year relationship. One TikTok user expressed excitement

91
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.639
over Swift's performance, suggesting that if
the rumors about Alwin are true, he

92
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.600
might want to stay out of the
spotlight. However, Swift also blended New

93
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.360
Year's Day from Lover and Peace from
Folklore in her performance, two tracks that

94
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.160
explore themes of love and longing without
hinting at betrayal. New Year's Day is

95
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.360
a serene ode to enduring love,
while Peace contemplates the challenges of offering a

96
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.959
partner a peaceful life, also touching
upon the desire for a future with children.

97
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.639
As Swifties eagerly await the release of
the Tortured Poet's Department on April nineteenth,

98
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.639
they are left to ponder whether more
light will be shed on Swift's personal

99
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.440
narratives and the ongoing speculation surrounding her
relationship with Alwyn. More In a moment,

100
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.399
a nine year old avid fan of
Taylor Swift, Scarlett Oliver from Perth,

101
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.840
who is confronting a challenging battle with
an aggressive, incurable form of brain

102
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.840
cancer, saw her dream realized during
Swift's concert in Sydney this past weekend.

103
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.440
The young fans heartfelt wish was to
receive the twenty two hat directly from the

104
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.120
pop superstar, a symbolic gesture Swift
incorporates into her Arast tour performances where she

105
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.600
gives a black fedora associated with her
song twenty two to a pre chosen fan.

106
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.600
Scarlet's stepmother, Natalie, took to
a Tailor Swift fan page on Facebook

107
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.039
to share the story of Scarlet's diagnosis
with a high grade glioma, an aggressive

108
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.559
brain cancer with no known cure,
diagnosed last October. Despite the Make a

109
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.480
Wish Foundation's inability to fulfill Scarlet's wish
to meet Swift, the family managed to

110
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.480
secure concert tickets through the generosity of
the online community and social media support.

111
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.519
Natalie expressed her desire for Scarlet to
be the recipient of the coveted twenty two

112
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.960
hat at the concert, emphasizing that
Scarlet, more than anyone, deserved a

113
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.879
moment of joy amidst her battle.
In anticipation of the concert, Natalie posted

114
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.720
a photo of Scarlet holding a sign
that pleaded for the twenty two hat,

115
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.120
hoping to capture Swift's attention and rally
support for Scarlet's dream. The family's wish

116
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.000
came to fruition at the Sydney concert
where Swift, in a touching moment captured

117
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.639
on video and shared on social media, leaned down from the stage to embrace

118
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.320
Scarlet. Swift then placed the iconic
hat on Scarlett's head and affectionately kissed her

119
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.480
hand before continuing with her performance,
creating a memorable and heartwarming experience for the

120
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.919
young fan amidst her health struggles.
