00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.679
Calauca Shawk Media. Hey Swifties, Abby here filling in for Annalise,

2
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.440
and we've got some absolutely massive news to discuss today.

3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.839
Billboard just named Taylor the second greatest pop star of

4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.559
the twenty first century, and while some fans might have

5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.399
feelings about that number two spot, let me break down

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.160
exactly why this is such a monumental recognition. Billboard has

7
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.719
been rolling out their ranking of the artists who have

8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.600
most defined pop stardom for the last twenty five years,

9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.719
and the top ten is absolutely stacked, with legends. Coming

10
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.479
in at number ten. We have Adele, followed by Ariana

11
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.039
Grande at nine, Justin Bieber at eight, Kanye West died seven,

12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.759
Britney Spears claiming spot number six, Lady Gaga at five,

13
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.960
Drake taking number four, and Rihanna securing the third position,

14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.439
and then there's our Girl at number two. Outranking all

15
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.079
of these incredible artists. Despite what Billboard calls her eight

16
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.319
year late starting country music, Billboard's Hannah Daily explained that Taylor,

17
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.439
through honoring all the traits that made her different, was

18
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.519
able to forcefully, gravitationally bend culture to her will and

19
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.120
become one of the world's biggest undisputed pop stars. And

20
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.480
let's talk about why this ranking makes so much sense.

21
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.560
Just look at what she's achieved this year alone. She

22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.560
made history in February by becoming the first person to

23
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.400
win Album of the Year four times at the Grammys.

24
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.560
Time named her Person of the Year, Forbes declared her

25
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.000
the richest female musician with a one point six billion

26
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.719
dollar net worth, and her latest album TTPD became the

27
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.159
first album ever to receive more than three hundred million

28
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:48.640
streams on Spotify in a single day. Now, while Billboard

29
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.359
hasn't officially announced who's taking that number one spot, fans

30
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.719
are pretty convinced it'll be Beyonce, and the reactions have

31
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.519
been fascinating. Some Swifties on social media are saying, what joke,

32
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.840
She's the biggest, but others are taking a more measured approach.

33
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.239
As one fan beautifully put it on Reddit, Taylor has

34
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.159
been bigger in recent years, but Beyonce has been huge

35
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.919
since the very beginning of this century. And honestly, the

36
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.039
fact that there's even a debate about the placement just

37
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.560
shows how incredible Taylor's impact has been. Speaking of recognition,

38
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.800
Taylor just shared the most heartbelt reflection on her Toronto

39
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.240
shows on Instagram. The emotions have gotten pretty heightened for

40
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.319
me and the rest of the team, she wrote, acknowledging

41
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.800
that Vancouver will be the last city of the Heiress

42
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.159
Tour and the closing of the most extraordinary chapter of

43
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.000
my life so far. She gave a special shout out

44
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.960
to Gracie Abrams celebrating their Grammy nominated collaboration US and

45
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.879
their incredible mashup with Out of the Woods. Now here's

46
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.159
something that shows just how coveted Heiress Tour tickets really are.

47
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.840
Even The Rock had to pull strings. Dwayne Johnson revealed

48
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.879
that in his entire thirty year career, this was the

49
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.080
first time he ever had to make special calls to

50
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.000
get tickets. I'm never good at asking for that kind

51
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.240
of stuff. I'm good at giving it. Hate asking for stuff,

52
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.080
he shared, before adding that Taylor personally made it happen.

53
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.719
Even Ocean's Eleven director Steven Soderberg admitted he couldn't get

54
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.680
in and had to settle for watching the film. Speaking

55
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.159
of the tour coming to an end, sources close to

56
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.960
Taylor are sharing that she's going through a difficult transition

57
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.159
as she processes this massive chapter closing. This tour has

58
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.199
been her life and the people on the tour have

59
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.800
been her family. One insider revealed to Daily Mail the

60
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.199
good news Travis has been stepping up in the sweetest way,

61
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.120
with sources saying she's been leaning on Travis and her

62
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.159
family more than ever and while he couldn't make the

63
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.319
Toronto shows due to football commitments, Travis and the Chiefs

64
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.080
are having an incredible season themselves, just securing their tenth

65
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.240
win against the Panthers. And speaking of the Kelsey family,

66
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.319
Jason just shared the most precious insight into Taylor's generosity

67
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.599
on The Rich Show. Apparently, Taylor has given him an

68
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.120
open invitation to get tickets for anyone who needs them,

69
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.759
but Jason's response is so thoughtful. She's been nothing but

70
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.080
lovely to our family. She's a wonderful person, and I

71
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.479
don't want that to kind of be a dynamic. He

72
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.160
explained that he always says no to ticket requests because

73
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.839
he doesn't want to impose. How sweet is that. In

74
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.040
a delightful musical crossover, Kelly Clarkson just delivered an incredible

75
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.279
cover of Lavender Hayes on her talk show that has

76
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.079
fans begging for a collaboration. The American idol Alum put

77
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.560
her own spin on the Midnight's track while wearing what

78
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.279
fans think might be Easter egg colors, and the comments

79
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.160
section exploded with requests for everything from new music together

80
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:47.000
to Kelly appearing on a debut TV Vault track more

81
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:58.120
in a moment speaking of Easter eggs, we've got even

82
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.839
more details about that Lifetime movie beyond what we already knew.

83
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.759
Turns out, Christmas in the Spotlight is absolutely packed with

84
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.040
Taylor lyrics. The main character tells her love interest she

85
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.000
was more of a bleacher girl. Hello, you belong with me.

86
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.040
There are references to your losing me, and even the

87
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.319
news anchor in the movie mentions Alchemy, a clear nod

88
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.000
to the song rumored to be about Travis. And here's

89
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.439
something fascinating that body language experts have noticed. Taylor's confidence

90
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.519
has grown so much over this past year. Remember how

91
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.279
she used to seem a bit shy at those first

92
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.720
football games. Well, she was just spotted at a Beverly

93
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.319
Hills restaurant, absolutely radiating confidence, waving to fans and staff

94
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.079
while saying thank you so much as she walked through

95
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.879
the kitchen. It's beautiful to see her so comfortable and happy.

96
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.240
With just three Vancouver shows remaining before this historic tour concludes,

97
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.959
it's incredible to think about everything that's happened since it began.

98
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.720
From breaking records as the highest grossing tour of all time,

99
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.279
pulling in nearly two billion dollars, to Finding Love to

100
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.839
inspiring the rock to make phone calls, Taylor's impact just

101
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.800
keeps growing, and soon we'll get to relive it all

102
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.399
through the official Eras Tour book featuring over five and images,

103
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.079
including never before seen behind the scenes moments that Taylor says,

104
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.399
We'll commemorate the memories we made together in a special way.

105
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.160
This has been Taylor Swift today, reminding you that whether

106
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.079
you're wondering about that Billboard ranking, singing along with Kelly Clarkson,

107
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.759
or just counting down to those final Vancouver shows, it's

108
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.480
the way this community supports each other that makes everything special.

109
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.959
Until next time, keep spreading. That's Swifty Love.
