0:03 Calaugas, Shawk Media, Hi, and Welcome to Taylor Swift Today. A short roundup of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, movies and life. Taylor Swift exuded fall vibes as she stepped out for dinner at Minetta Tavern in New York on Friday. The Bad Blood hit maker looked effortlessly chic in a brown Gucci sweater, dark flared pants, and trendy Penny loafers with a chunky block heel as she headed into the French eatery. The twelve time Grammy winner accessorized her outfit with a matching brown purse slung across her arm was a brown blazer in case the weather got chilly. Later on. The superstar wore her blonde tresses in a straight style for the occasion and rocked her signature red lipstick. She was pictured arriving at the restaurant with singer pal Phoebe Bridgers.

0:54 British restaurateur Keith McNally, who owns Minetta Tavern among other NYC hotspots. He gave fans insight into Swift's decadent dinner. Swift and Bridges were served baked oysters and foigras amuse bousche, which McNally says Swift really liked. I was near the table when Taylor Swift ate the oyster, and she opened her eyes and said, my god, she really liked it, he wrote to Instagram, adding that the ladies also had scallops to share. Next, Swift dined on Dover Soul and the fried Lobster volume on Vaunt, and she and Bridges drank two Rhubarb Sophie cocktails. They skipped dessert. McNally claims that the duo were at the restaurant until around twelve fifteen. Not present for Taylor's night out in NYC was her NFL BO Travis Kelcey, who was asked earlier during a press conference whether he was in love with Swift and answered by saying he wanted to keep his personal relationship personal. In music news, Taylor Swift's nineteen eighty nine Taylor's version is rewriting the record books once again, this time on the vinyl front. The re recorded version of her pop masterpiece nineteen eighty nine, released just a week ago, has broken the all time record for the largest sales week on vinyl in US history, according to Billboard which cites data from Luminate.

2:14 Nineteen eighty nine, Taylor's Version achieved the remarkable feat of selling five hundred eighty thousand copies on vinyl in its first six days of availability. That's the largest sales week for a vinyl album since Luminate began tracking sales in nineteen ninety one. The previous modern era of vinyl sales record was previously held by Swift, so the singer songwriter breaks her own record. Before the arrival of nineteen eighty nine Taylor's Version, that honor was held by her most recent album of all original material Midnights. The set sold five hundred and seventy five thousand copies in its opening week in late October twenty twenty two. What may be even more impressive is that nineteen eighty nine Taylor's version total first week sales sum isn't clear just yet. The numbers reported are only as of the first six days the title was available. That five hundred eighty thousand some will likely climb, raising the record even higher. In the first six days following its release, nineteen eighty nine, Taylor's Version sold over one point one million copies in the United States alone, including all formats. When considering total equivalent album units earned including streaming activity as well, that figure climbs to over one point three million copies. In tour news, Taylor Swift's Eras tour dominated the US in the spring and summer, and the movie version became the highest grossing concert film of

3:44 all time this fall, with over two hundred million dollars at the worldwide box office. Now, the tour is getting ready to kick back off in real life, as Swift performs three concerts in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on November ninth, ten and eleven. Iheard Swift fans with general admission tickets have taken their love for the Grammy winner to a whole new level by camping out in tents near the Estadio river Plate Stadium in hopes of securing spots as close to the stage as possible. We've been in this tent for five months, a twenty one year old Swifty told Pitchfork on the condition of anonymity so that her father doesn't find out. I usually tell my dad I'm at a park, drinking mate with somebody, or visiting a friend of mine who lives near the stadium. According to Pitchfork fans have been occupying four tents outside the stadium, taking turns in carefully planned rotations. An internal spreadsheet, created by two organizers and updated by assigned administrators keeps track of around sixty folks per tent. Most of them are young women, but no one under eighteen is allowed. Based on a ranking system gathering everybody's total time, the longer you've been in a tent, the higher the chances of being one of the first in line.

4:57 The fact that there are so many people makes things easy. A twenty year old named Arena told Pitchfork, adding that her mother is comfortable with her camping out as long as she doesn't get bad grades in college. We all have different schedules, and you fit yours amongst them. Sleepovers are now mandatory at least once a month, alongside a minimum of sixty monthly hours to maintain one spot. People are very upset with us camping for some reason. A fan named Carmen said, sometimes you're lying down and you hear someone scream go to work at two am. It's like you're the one who's outside of a tent shouting at two in the morning. Aren't you supposed to work tomorrow. Does it really affect you that much? I'm the one who's sleeping on the street, not you more Taylor in just a moment. When law professor Sean Camer's friends told him they were skeptical about the seriousness of his upcoming course focused on Taylor Swift at the University of South Dakota, it was his chance to do what any swifty would do. Shake it off. I understand this sounds ridiculous, at least at first glance, said Camer, a self avowed swifty, but it's not. Camer's course, The Taylor Swift Effect, planned for the spring semester, looks to be the first law school class based on the sequined musical icon. After attending a Swift concert in Minneapolis in June, Camer said he was inspired to develop the Writing Intensive class, available to second and third

6:27 year law students. The course will look at the musicians' interactions with the law, such as her re recording of six albums and related copyright issue. Camer said it will also examine how individual's own experiences and beliefs shape how they interpret the law, much like how they interpret her song lyrics. Pop culture focused law classes are not uncommon, and they can create a public relations buzz for the schools that offer them. The gritty television show The Wire inspired a number of criminal law focused classes over the years, and the University of Virginia School of Law in twenty twenty two offered a class on corporate law based on the show Succession. Law classes centered on a single public figure are harder to come by, though, Georgia State University College of Law is currently running a class based on the legal life of rapper and music executive Rick Ross. Boston University law professor Jessica Silbey, who co authored a textbook on pop culture and the Law, said students tend to be more engaged when they study subjects such as sports, new technology, and celebrities. Sylby covers the singer's album re Recordings in her copyright class to teach about contract law in the music business. She said Swift's success story and her bumps along the Way provide opportunity for lessons in the law.
