🎉 SUBPOENA VICTORY: Taylor can "shake off" court drama as Baldoni WITHDRAWS legal demands!

0:03 Calarugashawk Media. Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali, and we have massive breaking news. To start today's episode. Taylor can officially shake off that pesky subpoena in the Blake Lively case. Plus we've got bombshell news about her master's potentially being for sale, a secret Taro reading that predicted Travis, and even a White House response to Trump's latest comments. So much to cover, let's dive right in. First up, the breaking news that has us all breathing a sigh of relief. Justin Baldoni has officially withdrawn the subpoena against Taylor in the. Blake Lively lawsuit.

0:44 After all the drama we've been covering about witness tampering allegations and threats to leak private text messages, Baldoni's team has backed down and dropped their demands for information from Taylor and her legal team at Venable l LP. According to sources, part of the reason the sum and was dropped was because details that Baldoni's team sought were actually provided through other means. Blake's spokesperson didn't hold back in their statement, saying they're pleased that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties have withdrawn their harassing subpoenas to Taylor Swift and her law firm. They also took a major shot at Baldoni's team, claiming exploiting Taylor Swift's celebrity was the original plan and that faced with having to justify themselves in federal court, they folded. This comes after Judge Lewis Lyman had already struck some of Baldoni's legal correspondents from the court docket last week, calling it improper and irrelevant.

1:38 Remember how we discussed those explosive allegations about Blake allegedly asking Taylor to delete texts and pressuring her for public support. Well, the judge wasn't having any of that drama in his courtroom. While this is a huge win for Taylor, Blake's team warns that this probably won't be the last we hear of Taylor's name in this four hundred million dollar legal battle. Now for some absolutely huge news that could change everything. Taylor may finally have the chance to buy back the original master recordings of her first six albums. According to Page six sources, Shamrock Capital, the investment firm that bought Taylor's Masters from Scooter Braun in twenty twenty is now interested in selling them.

2:20 Back to her. And here's the plot twist. The person encouraging this deal is reportedly Scooter Braun himself. Can you believe it? After all the bad blood between them when Braun bought her Masters for three hundred million dollars in twenty nineteen, calling him a bully and the definition of toxic male privilege, He's now apparently pushing for her to get them back. The price tag would be somewhere between six hundred million dollars to one billion dollars, but music consultant Clayton Durant explains that if she owns both the original and re recorded versions, she exponentially increases the amount of money she makes and gets full control over licensing for commercials, films, TV shows. And political rallies.

3:01 This news comes just a day after we got our first taste of reputation Taylor's version when Look What You Made Me Do. Taylor's version was featured on the Handmaid's Tale. Elizabeth Moss, who's both the star and executive producer of the show, told Billboard that she's been wanting to use a tailor song for many years and called it the perfect song for a more perfect moment. The song soundtracked an uprising scene with the Handmaid's walking information absolutely iconic. The albums that would be included in this potential deal are her self titled debut, Fearless, Speak Now Red nineteen eighty nine, and Reputation basically Everything Before Lover.

3:43 As Clayton Durant pointed. Out, she's so rich, she's already a billionaire. How much further does she want to go? Maybe it's a principal thing for her, and honestly, after everything she's been through to reclaim her work, it probably is about the principle. Speaking of Travis, got some adorable updates from Caitlin Clark. The WNBA star told USA Today that Taylor and Travis are currently in vacation mode and enjoying a nice little breakout of the spotlight. When asked if they'd be attending any Indiana Fever games this season, Caitlin said, I hope so, but she wants them to enjoy a nice little break. She reiterated that she's a bona fide Swifties and called Taylor one of the sweetest people I've ever been around after their Chief's playoff game hangout in January. Since the Chief's devastating Super Bowl lost to the Eagles and Taylor wrapping the Eiras tour, the couple has definitely been keeping things low key.

4:39 As we've discussed in previous episodes. They've been spotted for things like that Mother's Day celebration in Philadelphia with both families, but they're clearly prioritizing their private time together. Now here's a wild story that's going to blow your mind. Mary El Hadid, Gigi's sister, is claiming partial credit for Taylor and Travis's role romance. On the Nice Girls Don't Win podcast, Maryelle revealed that she did a tarot reading for Taylor backstage before an arist tour show in Santa Clara in spring twenty twenty three. This was right around the time when Travis had publicly said he wanted to date Taylor. On his podcast. Mariyelle told Gigi that Taylor and Travis should date and said, come on, even if it's just for fun. This is before they had actually or officially met. During the tarot reading, she pulled a card for Taylor and remembered that the word swiftly was in the reading.

5:32 How perfect is that? Maryelle even joked that she told Taylor that Travis would be a good lay, saying she deserves it. I cannot with this story. Remember how Taylor told Time magazine that she and Travis had a significant amount of time that no one knew before going public. Well, it sounds like this tarot reading happened right around when they started secretly getting to know each other. The timeline totally adds up. In White House News Press sec Terry Caroline leave It was asked to explain Trump's latest dig at Taylor during Monday's briefing. Remember how we discussed last episode that Trump posted on truth Social claiming that since he said I hate Taylor Swift, she's no longer hot. Well, leave It laughed off the question and tried to downplay it, saying Trump was speaking about Taylor Swift's political views and how perhaps it has impacted the support of the American public for her work.

6:26 This all stems from Taylor's endorsement of Kamala Harris after Trump posted AI generated images of her supposedly endorsing him. Taylor's response was perfect. She said, those fake images really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation, and that the simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. As we discussed, sources say. Travis is livid about these attacks, but is channeling his anger into training camp motivation rather than responding publicly more in a moment. Finally, here's a sweet celebrity encounter story.

7:09 Julia Stiles recently shared on the How to Fail podcast about meeting Taylor at a game night party. Julia said she could just feel Taylor entering the room because she just has that presence. Even though Julia wasn't planning to bother her, someone let her know Taylor wanted to say hi because she really likes your work. Julia admitted she blacked out during their handshake and dissociated for a second while they chatted, but eventually told Taylor, You're amazing. This is crazy. Julia noted that even someone as famous as Taylor seems humble enough to genuinely appreciate when people say nice things about her work. And that's all for today's episode of Taylor Swift Today. What do you think about Taylor potentially buying back her Masters from Shamrock Capital.
