00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.279
Calaugashawk Media, Hi, and Welcome
to Taylor Swift Today. A short roundup

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:17.199
of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, movies and life. In

3
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.480
a recent broadcast of Jesse Waters Primetime
on Fox News, host Jesse Waters stirred

4
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.480
controversy with a peculiar claim involving pop
superstar Taylor Swift and the Pentagon's Psychological Operations

5
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:35.039
Unit. Waters suggested that Swift,
who has been actively promoting voter registration with

6
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.079
vote dot org, might be involved
in more than meets the eye. Have

7
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.240
you ever wondered why or how she
blew up like this? He posed to

8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.119
his audience, insinuating a covert political
agenda behind her fame. Waters highlighted a

9
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.399
twenty nineteen NATO conference clip where Swift
was mentioned as a potentially influential figure,

10
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.880
with the presenter stating the Pentagon psyop
Unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into

11
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:06.719
an asset for combating misinformation online.
Reacting to these claims, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina

12
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.159
Singh humorously dismissed the conspiracy theory.
She responded to Politico saying, as for

13
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.599
this conspiracy theory, we are going
to shake it Off, cleverly referencing Swift's

14
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.439
popular twenty fourteen single. Andrea Haley, CEO of vote dot Org, also

15
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.879
addressed waters implications about the government backing
Swift's voter registration efforts. In a post

16
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.120
on x she clarified our partnership with
that Taylor Swift thirteen is helping all Americans

17
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.200
make their voices heard at the ballot
box. Not a psyop or a Pentagon

18
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:42.040
asset, just the biggest nonpartisan platform
in America helping young people register and cast

19
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:48.079
their vote. Taylor Swift in recent
years has been vocal about various political issues.

20
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.280
She has shown support for LGBTQ plus
rights, reproductive rights, gun safety

21
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.959
reform, and notably endorsed Joe Biden
during the twenty twenty presidential election. The

22
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.959
anticipation for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey's
red carpet debut has been building, especially

23
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:08.039
considering their relationship and recent accolades.
Both Swift and Kelsey have been nominated for

24
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.919
the People's Choice Awards, sparking hopes
among fans that they might attend the ceremony

25
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:19.639
together. Swift has been nominated in
five categories, and Kelsey has earned his

26
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.759
first ever nomination for Athlete of the
Year. However, it seems unlikely that

27
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:29.520
the couple will make their red carpet
debut at the awards, scheduled for February

28
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.759
eighth, twenty twenty four, Swift, who last attended the People's Choice Awards

29
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.599
in twenty thirteen, has a packed
schedule with her Heiress tour. She is

30
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.759
set to perform in Tokyo, Japan, on February seventh, and has another

31
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.439
show lined up for the next day, making it challenging for her to attend

32
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.879
the awards. Swift recently shared her
thoughts on public relationships in an interview with

33
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.800
Time magazine, stating, when you
say a relationship is public, that means

34
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.919
I'm going to see him do what
he loves. We're showing up for each

35
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.599
each other. Other people are there, and we don't care. She emphasized

36
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.919
the importance of supporting each other's passions
and being open about their relationship. While

37
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.520
Kelsey has some ground to cover in
terms of People's Choice Awards, Swift has

38
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:20.159
an impressive history with the event,
having won seventeen fan voted awards over the

39
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.840
years. This year, she is
in the running for Concert Tour of the

40
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.159
Year Movie of the Year, Social
Celebrity of the Year, Female Artist of

41
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.840
the Year, and Pop Artist of
the Year. The People's Choice Awards will

42
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.960
be broadcast on February eighth at eight
pm on NBC Peacock and E, with

43
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.680
fans able to vote until January nineteenth
on the award show's website. Whether or

44
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.919
not the Power Couple attends, it
will certainly be an event to watch for

45
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:51.039
fans of both Swift and Kelsey.
Next month, Julian's Auctions and the music

46
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.759

This guitar, which is expected to

58
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.839
has not been played by Swift,
but was signed by her for the

59
00:04:54.879 --> 00:05:00.759
occasion. Harry Styles has donated an
autographed nineteen ninety nine gretch Whitefalc hollow body

60
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.079
electric guitar, boasting a white finish
with gold sparkle bindings and a Cadillac tail

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.319

and swirl. This musical instrument is anticipated

62
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.279
to be sold for between three and
five thousand dollars. The auction promises to

63
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.439
be a highlight for music enthusiasts and
collectors, offering a unique opportunity to own

64
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:25.319
a piece of music history while contributing
to a charitable cause. With such an

65
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.480
array of donated instruments from some of
the biggest names in the industry, This

66
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.480
event is set to captivate the attention
of fans and collectors alike more tailor in

67
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:46.680
just a moment. Excitement is building
among Taylor Swift's fans, as the superstar

68
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.759
was recently spotted heading into Electric Lady
Studios in New York City, hinting at

69
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:57.120
possible new music on the horizon.
Swift, known for her attention to detail

70
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.319
and fondness for dropping hints, was
seen arriving for an evening recording session sporting

71
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.160
a look that has set the rumor
mill buzzing. Taylor was dressed in a

72
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:13.199
casual yet stylish ensemble featuring a men's
Adidas Graphics Animal polar fleece jacket. This

73
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.000
jacket, which is part of Adidas's
Recycled and Renewable collection and retails for one

74
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.879
hundred and twenty dollars, is currently
sold out online. Its distinctive animal print

75
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:28.079
pattern adds a bold touch to Swift's
outfit. Complimenting the jacket, she opted

76
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.399
for a simple green T shirt,
black leggings, cream sneakers, and round

77
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:36.079
tortoise sunglasses, while her hair was
pulled back into a ponytail. Fans are

78
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:44.000
reading into Swift's recent fashion choices,
particularly her inclination towards animal prints as potential

79
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.360
easter eggs, signaling the release of
reputation Taylor's version. Just the previous day,

80
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:53.199
Swift was seen dining with Blake Lively, where she donned a long sleeve

81
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.399
green velvet dress by Little Lies,
paired with brown over the knee boots featuring

82
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.240
a snakelike pattern from Jean Paul Gaultier
and Jim To. These style choices,

83
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:06.160
combined with her studio visit, have
Swifties eagerly speculating and anticipating what the beloved

84
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:12.120
artist might be preparing next. As
Swift has a history of cleverly weaving clues

85
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:16.240
into her appearances and social media posts, fans are keenly observing every detail,

86
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.439
hopeful for new music or announcements related
to her ongoing project of re recording her

87
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:28.800
earlier albums. Travis Kelce isn't thinking
about retiring from the NFL anytime soon,

88
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.680
even as his star power off the
field grows stronger. I have no reason

89
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.920
to stop playing football, Kelsey told
reporters at a press conference Thursday ahead of

90
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.360
the NFL playoffs when asked if he
has any plans to end his career.

91
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.639
Kelsey has been the talk of the
NFL all year, and not just for

92
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.079
his play on the field. The
Kansas City Chief's tight ends relationship with Taylor

93
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.839
Swift has made headlines nearly every day
since the pair began flirting with romance late

94
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:00.839
last summer. Meanwhile, Kelsey's star
status has skyrocketed on its own. The

95
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.160
NFL star hosted Saturday Night Live last
March, appeared on the cover of the

96
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.639
Wall Street Journal magazine in November,
and has become a year round familiar face

97
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.040
on television commercials. On the field, Kelsey remains one of the top players

98
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.160
in the league. His nine hundred
and eighty four receiving yards lead the Chiefs

99
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.839
offense, adding five touchdowns for the
team in fifteen games. Kelsey also helped

100
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.800
lead the Chiefs to their eighth straight
AFC West Championship and ninth straight playoff appearance

101
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:35.200
with an eleven and six overall record. Kelsey's mother, who was included on

102
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.360
People's twenty five Most Intriguing People of
the Year list, told the WSJ magazine

103
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.679
in its cover story about her son
that he's happier than I've seen him in

104
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.799
a long time this season, in
large part due to his relationship with Taylor
