0:03 Calauga Shawk Media, Hi, and Welcome to Taylor Swift Today. A short roundup of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, movies and life. Taylor Swift celebrated her thirty fourth birthday in high spirits with her friends Miles Teller and his wife Keilely. The pop star chose to spend a lively evening with the couple in New York City, opting out of the Time magazine gala where she was honored as Person of the Year. Swift marked the beginning of her birthday with friends, leaving Parcel Restaurant in New York after midnight. Earlier, Selena Gomez had joined them, but wasn't seen departing with the group. Taylor looked fashionable in a beige leather trench coat paired with a black outfit and chunky heeled boots, Carrying a small black handbag and wearing a gold necklace. She was all smiles for the cameras. Joining her was actor Miles Teller, who appeared relaxed in gray jeans, a white T shirt, a plaid jacket, and a navy baseball cap. His wife Keely, who appeared in Taylor's I Bet You Think About Me music video looked chic in a black mini dress complimented by black heeled boots and a navy jacket as she exited the restaurant with Swift.

1:23 The friends had a joyful night celebrating Taylor's birthday, including a visit to the exclusive members only club Zero Bond, where they were joined by Selena Gomez. Taylor, foregoing the Time magazine Gala, seemed to prefer celebrating with her close friends. She had arrived in New York earlier that day from Kansas City, Missouri, where she had been spending time with her boyfriend Travis. In a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Chiefs tight End Travis Kelcey thanked his girlfriend Taylor Swift for boosting merchandise sales in the United Kingdom. Discussing the surge and sales, his brother Jason Kelsey inquired a lot of Swifties over there in the UK. Travis responded, there's got to be only reasonable solution to all of this. Since Taylor and Travis started dating, many of her fans have shown an increased interest in the NFL, and particularly in the Kansas City Chief Star, likely contributing to the rise in merchandise sales. Jason Kelsey, who plays for the Eagles, humorously suggested on the podcast that people might be buying his jersey thinking he's dating Taylor instead of his brother. No, they're all Kylie Kelsey fans, Travis joked, acknowledging both Kylie and Taylor. Shout out to Kylie, shout out to Taylor. Thank you, guys. The Karma singer seems equally smitten in the relationship, as she shared with Time Magazine in her Person of the Year profile. We're just proud of each other.

2:53 When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves. We're showing up for each other. Other people are there, and we don't care more Taylor in Just a Moment title Wave Comics has unveiled a new variant cover for its upcoming Taylor Swift biocomic female Force Taylor Swift. The comic launched coinciding with Swift's thirty fourth birthday and following a year of record breaking achievements for the Golden Globe nominee. The comic book publisher had earlier teased a paperback cover featuring Salus's original art in November and announced a hardcover edition with an alternative cover by DC and Marvel Comics artist Yonami. The latest variant, an eBay exclusive by Pablo Martinine, is an homage to Marvel Comics Dazzler Number one, reflecting rumors of Swift's potential appearance in Deadpool three. Of course, Taylor Swift deserves her own comic book. Escavell commented, she wears colorful tights and fights corporate villains who try to use their money to control her.

4:03 The only other person who fits that description is Clark Kent, and even he couldn't have written nineteen eighty nine. The comic will explore Swift's rise to fame, her philanthropic efforts, and her connection with fans, highlighting her empowering presence and entertainment. It will also feature her successful airestour and the concert film, which grossed two hundred and fifty million dollars globally on a fifteen million dollar budget. Swift joins the ranks of influential women featured in Title Wave's Female Fource series, including Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, Gloria steinem Cher, Oprah Winfrey, Billie Eilish and others. In late October, Chris Harrington, owner of the boutique West Side Story in Kansas City, Missouri, noticed an unusual online order for over twelve hundred dollars in vintage clothes. The order, flagged as medium risk for fraud by Shopify, included five vintage Kansas City that he Chief's sweatshirts, each over one hundred dollars. It was a larger dollar amount than we typically get, and there was a medium alert on it, so our online manager did some digging, Harrington explained to Business Insider. After investigating, they believed the order was connected to Swift. However, when Swift attended a game in Green Bay wearing designer clothes instead of the vintage Chiefs gear, doubts emerged. But Swift later appeared at Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs Versus Bill's game wearing the merchandise. I started getting text messages and then my girlfriend came running

5:34 downstairs thirty seconds later, and I was like, it's happening. She's wearing it. This is amazing, Harrington recalled. He's unsure how Swift or her team discovered his store, though Chief star Travis Kelce Swift's boyfriend follows the store on Instagram and has shopped there before. Despite the source, Harrington is thrilled, noting We've had hundreds of orders over the last forty eight hours. It was the tailor effect. Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappy took a moment in a recent press conference to clarify his opinion on Taylor Swift's music, previously indicating he wasn't a big fan, Zappy clarified, if you listen to the whole quote I said, I'm not not a fan. So I used to be a fan because I'm a country guy. I listened to country music. She used to be country, so of course there were times when a Taylor Swift country song would come on and I would listen to it. Now she's moved over to pop. I'm not a pop guy, he added, So I'm a fan.

6:30 I just don't listen to that type of music. So just clear that up in the air. Asked if he'd be nervous if Swift attended Gillette Stadium on Sunday to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce, Zappy replied, no, I won't be nervous. It would be pretty exciting to have her here. I know she loves being here at Gillette. I'm sure that's excited to come back here. Zappe emphasized he's a fan, saying you've got to clear it up because you never know on social media. I'm just making sure everybody understands I'm a fan. And there you have it.
