Calaogashock Media, Hi, and Welcome
to Taylor Swift Today. A short roundup

2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:19.120
of all the headlines around Taylor's music, tours, movies and life. Taylor

3
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.719
Swift was awestruck by the lavish birthday
present she received from her friend Kelly Sperry,

4
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.079
which was so opulent it nearly left
her at a loss for words.

5
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:32.560
During her thirty fourth birthday celebration in
Manhattan, Swift was seen proudly displaying her

6
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.799
new ring to Sperry and Sperry's husband, Miles Teller. Initially, there was

7
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:41.159
speculation among fans that the eye catching
ring might have been a present from Swift's

8
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:46.119
boyfriend, Travis Kelcey, the Chief's
tight End. However, Sperry revealed that

9
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:52.240
she was in fact the generous giver
of the Grammy winner's stunning accessory. Following

10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:57.240
this, Sperry shared a video capturing
Swift's reaction to the extravagant gift. Filmed

11
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.520
from Swift's perspective, the video showcases
the anti hero singer flaunting her impressive ring,

12
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.040
adorned with a prominent opal stone encircled
by blue topaz gemstones. Swift,

13
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.640
while displaying the ring along with her
sparkly silver nail polish can be heard exclaiming

14
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.840
in disbelief, this is unreal,
Kelly. The camera then shifts to Sperry,

15
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.439
who, with a smile, wishes
Swift a happy birthday. Overwhelmed and

16
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.439
struggling to articulate her appreciation, Swift
humbly remarks, Wow, this is like

17
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:33.840
a present for Elizabeth Taylor, not
me, eliciting Sperry's affectionate reply, You're

18
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:40.680
my Elizabeth Taylor. Travis Kelcey was
among the many captivated by Taylor Swift's presence

19
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.079
at the recent Kansas City Chiefs game
against the New England Patriots. On the

20
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.959
latest episode of New Heights with Jason
and Travis kelce Travis spoke about the moment

21
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.280
Swift, his girlfriend, appeared on
the big screen at Jillette Stadium in Foxborough,

22
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.480
Massachusetts. He described the crowd's enthusiastic
reaction, noting it was unusual to

23
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.319
see the home teams fans so excited
about someone in the rival team's colors.

24
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.240
Swift was decked out in a gray
Chief's sweatshirt and a crochet beanie with Kelsey's

25
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:15.240
number eighty seven. Travis admired Swift's
impact commenting on the podcast about the crowd's

26
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.800
uproar when she was featured on screen. His brother Jason Kelsey echoed the sentiment,

27
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.639
finding it remarkable. Travis trying to
play it cool during the moment,

28
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.400
joked about not wanting to reveal too
much of his excitement. He appreciated the

29
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.479
Patriot's gesture of displaying Swift on screen, acknowledging her love for the stadium and

30
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:40.039
the fun she's had performing there.
Despite some potential naysayers, Travis pointed out

31
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:46.400
that the majority of the crowd was
overwhelmingly supportive of Swift. He also mentioned

32
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.120
that Swift attended the game with her
father, Scott Swift, who proudly sported

33
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.960
full chief's attire. Taylor Swift,
already making waves with a world tour and

34
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.240
a Golden Globe nomination, has also
showcased her a exceptional baking skills. She

35
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.159
impressed Travis Kelsey's vegan and gluten free
teammates enough to tempt them into trying her

36
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:13.080
homemade cinnamon rolls. Former NFL quarterback
Bernie Cozar, who played for the Cleveland

37
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:20.439
Browns, shared insights into Kelsey's pregame
meals, highlighting Swift's culinary contributions. Cozar,

38
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.039
who visited Kelsey's home before a game, praised Swift's down to earth demeanor

39
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:30.319
and her baking talent. Taylor is
incredibly nice. She just walks in,

40
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.319
completely unassuming, and she's made these
amazing homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis's pregame meal,

41
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:40.080
he said. Despite his own strict
diet, Kozar couldn't resist tasting Swift's

42
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.479
baked goods. I'm currently focusing on
juicing, trying to stick to a vegan

43
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.960
and gluten free diet, he said, but there was no way I could

44
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.719
skip out on trying a bit of
that cinnamon roll on game day. Taylor

45
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.840
has recently embraced the world of football, a new interest for her, as

46
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.439
evidenced by her frequent attendance at games. She's been seen at seven games this

47
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:08.560

England Patriots match. In her time twenty

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.280
twenty three Person of the Year interview, Swift expressed her newfound enthusiasm for the

49
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.839
sport. I've discovered that football is
actually quite exciting, she remarked. I

50
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.160
can't believe I've been missing out on
it all these years. She also spoke

51
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.560
about the nature of her public relationship, emphasizing her support for Travis. Being

52
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.040
in a public relationship means showing up
for one another, and that's what we

53
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.399
do. We're there for each other
regardless of who else is around, and

54
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:48.360
it doesn't bother us. Swift added
more Taylor in Just a Moment. A

monitors earlier in the year for her shows

70
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.920
and described the challenge of singing with
a metronome background, vocals, her band,

71
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.839
and her sound engineer all in her
ear communicating with me while backstage,

have to get used to. Nicki Minaj,
