00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.960
Hi, and welcome to Taylor Swift
Today. A short roundup of all the

2
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:15.519
headlines around Taylor's music, tours,
movies and life. Taylor Swift loves her

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:20.320
besties, and even amidst her whirlwind
romance with Kansas City Chiefs Titan Travis Kelce,

4
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.679
she always makes time for a girl's
night out. This provogue, Taylor

5
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.719
joined Selena Gomez, Zoe Kravitz,
and Keely Sperry, who was married to

6
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.359
top gun star Miles Teller and starred
in her I Bet You Think About Me

7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.719
music video. They all had a
sushi dinner in West Hollywood. In a

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.759
look that proved she's keeping up with
the trends while staying true to her personal

9
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:45.119
style. Taylor continued to explore the
sheer trend, wearing a white trumpet sleeved

10
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:50.640
top. The swirling lacy pattern was
held together by a loose, open crocheted

11
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.119
technique, making the shirt largely sheer. Underneath, she wore a simple black

12
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.039
tank top, striking some color contrast
on the bottom. She opted for a

13
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.920
pair of bootcut blue jeans, which
she wore with a pair of black heeled

14
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.239
boots. Swifties may recall that this
isn't her first sheer look in recent memory.

15
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.079
Last week, she joined Kelsey for
dinner at the Waverley Inn, wearing

16
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.640
a floral jean Paul Gautier mesh top
over a black bustier. Last night's crocheted

17
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.560
iteration was a much more bohos spin
on the trend. Selina also opted for

18
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.079
a comfortable gno look, wearing a
black top with a long calf length black

19
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.280
sweater, raw hemmed jeans, and
a pair of white furry slides. Zoe

20
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.519
wore black two dotting a loose button
up, and Sperry wore black jeans and

21
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.040
a matching top with a white denim
jacket. Travis Kelcey's own success in the

22
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.799
NFL has been a major point of
attraction for Taylor. Kelsey is a two

23
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.840
time Super Bowl winner with the Kansas
City Chiefs, the team he has played

24
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.040
for his whole career, and he
has forged a reputation as one of the

25
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.079
finest tight ends in the history of
the NFL. It is that success and

26
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.640
the lifestyle he has lived around it, which according to US Weekly, has

27
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.400
led to Taylor and her inner circle
being won over by Kelsey. A source

28
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:15.199
was quoted by the publication as saying
Travis is someone who is so different for

29
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.639
her. With him, it's easy. She doesn't have to worry about anything.

30
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.680
He has his own career in money, so he's not with her for

31
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.479
the wrong reasons. He has his
own successful career and understands the demands.

32
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.120
There's no drama and they're happy.
He'll visit, she'll visit. It's working

33
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:36.919
for them. Kelsey's bye week with
the Chiefs falls the weekend after the Dolphins

34
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.879
game, meaning that he could theoretically
go and see her play in South America.

35
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:46.599
She tours Argentina and Brazil up until
November twenty sixth, so could then

36
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.000
return to see the Chiefs play the
Green Bay Packers on December third. Kelsey

37
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.840
is currently on a contract with the
Chiefs that runs until next year. Earlier

38
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.719
this year, he said he is
underpaid, but doesn't mind. My managers

39
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.520
and agents love to tell me how
underpaid I am, Kelsey told Vanity Fair.

40
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.639
Taylor Swift is on top of the
world right now for many reasons,

41
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.360
including the fact that the concert film
capturing her Heires tour is a smashing success.

42
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.599
But a new Max documentary special produced
by CNN taking on Taylor Swift recounts

43
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:28.120
a less than stellar moment in her
career, a twenty seventeen lawsuit accusing her

44
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.080
of plagiarizing lyrics in her twenty fourteen
megahit Shake It Off. Three years after

45
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.280
her addictive track was released, she
was slapped with a lawsuit that accused them

46
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.680
of having cribbed the song from Players
Gone Play, which was written for girl

47
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.759
group three l W. For comparison, Taylor's song says, because the play

48
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.639
is gonna play, Play Play,
Play play, and the hater's gonna hate

49
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.199
hate, hate, hate hate.
The track from three LW Players They Gonna

50
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.520
Play and Haters They Gonna Hate.
It went on to chart at number one

51
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.360
on the Billboard Hot one hundred.
In writing the lyrics, Taylor said in

52
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.800
a legal declaration per NPR, I
drew partly on experiences in my life,

53
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.719
and in particular unrelenting public scrutiny of
my personal life, clickbait reporting, public

54
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.120
manipulation, and other forms of negative
personal criticism, which I learned I just

55
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.800
needed to shake off and focus on
my music. The first ruling on the

56
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.120
lawsuit, a few months after it
was filed, was in Swift's favor.

57
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.079
Judge Michael Fitzgerald dismissed the case,
declaring that the disputed lyrics were short phrases

58
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:36.519
that lack the modicum of originality and
creativity required for copyright protection. Drew Barrymore

59
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.680
isn't afraid to be on the dating
scene, and it's all thanks to Taylor.

60
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.480
During an episode of The Drew Barrymore
Show, she opened up about how

61
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.360
Taylor has inspired her to stop being
so in her head when it comes to

62
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.519
dating. I just want to say, for me personally, I have been

63
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.959
single for seven years, happily seeing
her on that first date out there in

64
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.000
the box with his family, I
really had a very big oprah aha moment.

65
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.839
She said. There was something so
normal about it, acknowledging that Taylor

66
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:10.160
Swift is everything but normal. Barrymore
explained that she appreciated the simplicity of how

67
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.879
the night transpired. It was just
like, I'm a female, I'm going

68
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.480
to go out on this date with
a male. I'm not going to overthink

69
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.480
this. I'm not going to play
the dark horse and be secretive and weird

70
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.759
about it. She continued, it
was like she just went on a date,

71
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.439
and it made me think I could
just go out on a date.

72
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.240
She commended Swift for not being affected
by what other people think or stopping herself

73
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.639
from living her life. Elsewhere in
the episode, Barrymore shared that Swift's new

74
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.240
relationship had inspired her to take the
person she's been seeing on and off for

75
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.639
around the last three years to a
wedding. I invited him to a wedding

76
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.199
next weekend and he said, well, after three and a half years,

77
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.240
you're going to invite me to a
wedding. I was like, I overthink

78
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.480
everything. I should just go on
a date, she reflected, quipping,

79
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:05.120
what's wrong with me? More Taylor
Swift in just a moment? Halloween is

80
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.759
right around the corner, and with
interest in Taylor and Travis's relationship dominating social

81
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.120
media in recent weeks, the couple
is destined to be a popular couple's costume

82
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.160
choice this year. Luckily, the
Kansas City Chiefs, tight End offered up

83
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.040
an idea on how to dress like
him for the spooky season. In a

84
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:27.480
press conference shared by the Chiefs on
their website, the football player was asked

85
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.560
by a reporter, you and Taylor
are a very popular Halloween costume coming up

86
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.160
this year. What do people have
to have if they're going to dress up

87
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:41.759
as you for their costume. Kelsey
replied, Man, the mustache is slowly

88
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.560
starting to disappear. But I'll tell
you what, man, that's stash and

89
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.160
the eighty seven jersey was pretty iconic
there for a little bit. I had

90
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.680
it when I met Taylor for the
first time. Accessorizing won't be integral to

91
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.240
completing his look either, he continued, I guess just my stash and yeah,

92
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.560
maybe a friendship bracelet or something.
I don't know. Expect to see

93
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.120
a lot of tailor and Travis's out
on Halloween. Search us for Travis Kelcey

94
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.720
costume and the Taylor Swift costume soared
by seven hundred sixty one percent and four

95
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.800
hundred and sixty four percent, respectively. Sadly, finding a Kelsey jersey has

96
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:19.120
become a difficult task, as sales
of his jersey surged four hundred percent after

97
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.720
Taylor attended his recent games. And
there you have it. Please follow us
