00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.039
Caalarogashawk Media, Kay Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.

2
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.240
It's Sunday, May twenty fourth.

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.000
I'm Ivy filling in now and we have some absolutely

4
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:24.559
fascinating developments, including major prenup considerations with Taylor's two billion

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:30.079
dollar fortune versus Travis's fifty to ninety million dollars. Reports

6
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.960
that Ed Kelsey is being kept out of wedding planning

7
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:38.079
because he can't be trusted with secrets, Prince William actually

8
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.520
teasing about hoping for a wedding invitation on UK radio,

9
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:47.240
Taylor's hilarious reaction to Jerome Bettis football highlights, plus a

10
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.920
beautiful breakdown of her historic four Grammy album of the

11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.079
Year wins that no other artist has achieved. This is

12
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.320
going to be an incredible deep dive, so let's get started.

13
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:04.719
The mostius business. Prenup considerations are complex, with Tailor's estimated

14
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.920
two billion dollars net worth compared to Travis's fifty to

15
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.840
ninety million dollars. Between them, there are at least six

16
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.840
states where their prenup could be filed California, Rhode Island, Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee,

17
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.359
and New York. The choice matters because they'll want a

18
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.680
state that enforces prenups, protect separate property, and limits spousal

19
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:31.719
support obligations. Legal expert Sarah Luetto from Blank Rome suggests

20
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:36.239
their prenup might include confidentiality clauses. Swift and Kelsey may

21
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.920
wish to include terms fostering confidentiality and privacy. This may

22
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.439
include non disparagement or non disclosure terms related to their relationship. However,

23
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.959
there would be exceptions for Taylor's songwriting. She would likely

24
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.159
not want provisions limiting her from singing about her relationship

25
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.840
in songs. The prenup will probably state they don't intend

26
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:01.079
to merge assets, but could allow joint business ventures. Given

27
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.480
the complexities of their respective estates and the length Swift

28
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.879
has gone to buy back her masters, any prenuptial agreement

29
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.319
would keep their respective estates entirely separate. This makes complete

30
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:17.080
sense given Taylor's business savvy and Travis's own investments. Interestingly,

31
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:24.400
TMZ reports they've already ruled out California, leaving Rhode Island, Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee,

32
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.520
and New York. In contention, New York is apparently low

33
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.639
on the list because judges closely inspect prenups and sometimes

34
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.120
invalidate them. Kansas is prenup friendly and a strong contender,

35
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.879
while Tennessee is somewhere in the middle but solid for

36
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:45.759
wealthy couples and entertainers. Senator Tim Kaine weighed in with concern,

37
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.039
if you're spending too much time thinking about the prenup

38
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.879
before the wedding, hmm. But honestly, this is smart business

39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.080
planning for two people with complex financial portfolios and careers.

40
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:03.759
It's protecting both their interests, not a lack of trust.

41
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.199
Family drama revealed Daily Mail. Sources claim Taylor is keeping

42
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.360
Ed Kelsey in the dark about wedding details because he

43
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.000
can't be trusted to keep secrets. One source called him

44
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.960
sort of like a loose cannon. Nobody knows what he's

45
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.759
going to say, so it's kind of a controversial situation.

46
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.240
The insider explained.

47
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.759
That Ed already gave out a lot of information about

48
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:31.599
the engagement, including when, where, and how Travis proposed. In

49
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.159
August twenty twenty five, Ed told News five Cleveland the

50
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.240
romantic proposal happened at Travis's Missouri home. He got her

51
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.319
out there, they were about to go out to dinner,

52
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.800
and he said let's go out and have a glass

53
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.439
of wine. And that's when he asked her and it

54
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.280
was beautiful. But Ed isn't the only one being excluded.

55
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.400
Kylie and Donna Kelcey, as well as several of the

56
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.919
couple's friends, are also out of the loop as Taylor

57
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.479
tightly manages the planning to prevent any further leaks. She's

58
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.520
even sharing slightly different details with different guests so that

59
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.080
if information surfaces, it could help identify where the leak

60
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:14.240
came from. This is actually brilliant counterintelligence strategy. By giving

61
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.959
different people different details, Taylor can track any leaks back

62
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.600
to their source. It shows how serious the security concerns

63
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.959
have become and how determined she is to protect their privacy.

64
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.800
The source also revealed that every person under the sun

65
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.639
who has slimmed to no relationship with the couple is

66
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.560
being invited, but Blake Lively is likely not welcome because

67
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.120
she dragged Taylor into her Justin Baldoni legal battle. The

68
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.800
issue was her private text messages became public record, and

69
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.120
her friend dragged her into something that made her look

70
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:50.240
poorly to the public. Adorable Royal news Prince William teased

71
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.439
about hoping for a wedding invitation during his Heart Breakfast

72
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.040
radio appearance. When hosts asked, have you got an invite

73
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.040
to the summer wedding, William replied, no, no comment. I'm

74
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.399
hoping and I'm sure there might be an invitation around.

75
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:05.560
But we'll see.

76
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.560
This came after he requested they play Opalite for his

77
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.360
swifty children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. William explained, Charlotte

78
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.439
my daughter, and Louie. To be fair, Charlotte particularly is

79
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.439
obsessed by Taylor Swift. We went to see her on

80
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.160
her era's tour and it was amazing. He described their

81
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.120
June twenty twenty four Wembley experience. We were watching from

82
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.240
up there, which is quite a long way from where

83
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.600
the actual action is happening. But the atmosphere was so incredible.

84
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.279
You could actually feel the floors shaking when they were

85
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.160
all dancing. It was brilliant. The fact that Prince William

86
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.040
is publicly expressing hope for an invitation while being diplomatic

87
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.279
about it suggests there's genuine affection between the families. Their

88
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.759
Aras tour meeting where they took Selfi's clearly made a

89
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.560
lasting impression. Charlotte being obsessed with Taylor makes this even

90
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:03.360
sweeter hell hilarious football moment. Travis shared Taylor's reaction to

91
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.399
Jerome Bettis highlights on the New Heights podcast. After running

92
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.480
into the bus at dinner in Florida, Travis showed Taylor

93
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.439
footage I was telling Tay about him. I was like,

94
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.639
that dude was an effing beast. He was effing running

95
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.160
dudes over. Taylor's response was perfect. Why does he look

96
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.759
like an offensive lineman running with the football, Travis explained,

97
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.959
because he was the bus. This is so funny because

98
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.439
Jerome Bettis was indeed unusually large for a running back

99
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.319
at the time, which made him so effective. This shows

100
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.439
how Taylor is genuinely learning about football through Travis. Her

101
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.720
observation was actually pretty astute. Bettis did look different from

102
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.279
typical running backs because of his size and power running style.

103
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.079
The fact that Travis enjoys sharing football history with her

104
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:57.040
and she engages with genuine curiosity is adorable. For context,

105
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.519
Bettis was a Hall of Famer who accumulated thirteen one thousand,

106
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.040
six hundred sixty two rushing yards eighth in NFL history,

107
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.319
and ninety one rushing touchdowns. Over his career, he was

108
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.319
known as the Bus because defenders couldn't stop him.

109
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:14.439
They just had to try to get out of the way.

110
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.360
Grammy Greatness Breakdown, a comprehensive analysis of Taylor's historic four

111
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.680
Album of the Year wins, proves why she's considered among

112
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.560
the greatest songwriters ever. She's the only artist to win

113
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.720
Album of the Year four times, breaking a record that

114
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.519
stood for decades with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul

115
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.560
Simon all stopping at three. Her wins tell an incredible

116
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:43.439
evolution story. Fearless twenty ten made her the youngest winner

117
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.319
in history at twenty years old.

118
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.680
Her speech was prophetic. This is the story we're going to.

119
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.879
Be telling over and over again in twenty ten, that

120
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.680
we got to win Album of the Year at the

121
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.600
Grammys nineteen eighty nine twenty sixteen made her the first

122
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.759
woman to win twice for solo recordings. Her speech addressed

123
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.360
young women directly about people trying to undercut your success

124
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:12.160
or take credit for your accomplishments, clearly referencing Kanye If

125
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.399
you just focus on the work and you don't let

126
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.759
those people sidetrack you, someday you'll know that it was

127
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.399
you and the people who love you who put you there.

128
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.839
Folklore twenty twenty one came during the pandemic. With her

129
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:29.040
surprise Quarantine album. She became the first female artist to

130
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:33.399
win three times, joining only Sinatra, Wonder and Simon.

131
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.240
Her speech was touching you.

132
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.759
Guys met us in this imaginary world that we created,

133
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.279
and we can't tell you how honored we are forever

134
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.440
by this. Midnights twenty twenty four broke the unbreakable record

135
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.919
presented by Celine Dion. In a rare appearance, Taylor seemed

136
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.919
genuinely shocked. She acknowledged Jack Antonov and Lna del Rey,

137
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.600
then revealed what truly drives her. I feel this happy

138
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.840
when I finish a song, or when I crack the

139
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.519
code to a bridge I love, or when I'm rehearsing

140
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.120
with my dancers. What makes this record incredible is the

141
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.440
range country, crossover, pop, reinvention, indie pandemic album, and late

142
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.480
night pop concept record. Each win represented different eras of

143
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:21.519
her artistry, proving her versatility and evolution as a songwriter.

144
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.399
The analysis notes what the numbers alone can't capture is

145
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.879
the sheer range of those wins. These albums show how

146
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.840
Taylor Swift has been an innovative artist throughout her career,

147
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.360
from twenty year old country star to thirty four year

148
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.080
old genre defying artist. She's constantly reinvented herself while maintaining

149
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.279
songwriting excellence.

150
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:54.000
More in a moment, looking.

151
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:58.879
At this week's stories together complex financial planning, family security measures,

152
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:04.440
royal a pre preciation, football education, and historic artistic achievement.

153
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.799
It shows how Taylor balances practical preparation with personal relationships

154
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:15.200
and creative legacy. The prenup considerations prove she's protecting both

155
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:19.519
their futures responsibly. The security measures show how seriously she

156
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:25.000
takes privacy protection. Prince William's comments demonstrate her global cultural impact,

157
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.600
and the Grammy breakdown reminds us why she's considered among

158
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.360
the greatest artists of all time. Taylor Swift Today has

159
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:36.279
