00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:14.240
Kalaugashawk Media. Welcome to a special
bulletin episode of Taylor Swift Today. I'm

2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.480
Annalie's idol with a significant announcement that's
making waves in the world of entertainment and

3
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:24.120
beyond. Taylor Swift, the pop
sensation who has become a household name,

4
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:29.160
has just been named Time Magazine's Person
of the Year. At thirty three,

5
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.479
Swift has achieved an extraordinary milestone,
her massive sixty six state tour, catapulting

6
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.840
her into billionaire status this year.
She surpassed a diverse group of notable figures

7
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:46.000
for the honor, including Vladimir Putin, Barbie King, Charles and Sam Altman.

8
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.359
Reflecting on this prestigious recognition, Swift
shared her feelings in a cover interview

9
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:56.320
for Time Magazine. This is the
proudest and happiest I've ever felt, and

10
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.479
the most creatively fulfilled and free I've
ever been, Like the breakthrough moment of

11
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:07.120
my career happening at thirty three,
She expressed, Time describes her as a

12
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.480
master storyteller of the modern era,
a fitting title for an artist of her

13
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.159
caliber. For the first time,
Swift opened up about her relationship with NFL

14
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:21.560
star Travis Kelcey. She revealed that
their romance blossomed following a comment Kelsey made

15
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.920
on his podcast with his brother.
This all started when Travis very adorably put

16
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.480
me on Blast on his podcast,
which I thought was metal as hell.

17
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.239
We started hanging out right after that, Swift disclosed. She clarified that their

18
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.560
first public appearance at a game was
not their first date, humorously adding we

19
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.400
would never be psychotic enough to hard
launch a first date. Swift also addressed

20
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.480
the attention she receives at Kansas City
Chiefs games, where she supports Kelsey.

21
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.079
I'm just there to support Travis.
I have no awareness of if I'm being

22
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.280
shown too much and annoying all the
dad brads and chads, she told Time.

23
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.599
Gussing her preparation for the Heiress Tour, Swift shared the intense regimen she

24
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.080
undertook. She started with six months
of running on the treadmill while singing her

25
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:14.719
entire set list, followed by three
months of dance lessons. Time magazine emphasized

26
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.599
the tour's significant impact on the nation's
economy, culture, and politics, noting

27
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.439
carrying an economy on your back is
a lot for one person. Time lauded

28
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:30.240
Swift for achieving a kind of nuclear
fusion, shooting art and commerce together to

29
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.919
release an energy of historic force.
This recognition comes after a challenging period in

30
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.599
Swift's career, notably the backlash following
Kim Kardashian's release of a video involving Kanye

31
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.199
West's song. Swift reflected on this
difficult time, stating, make no mistake,

32
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.879
my career was taken away from me. She described the personal and psychological

33
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.520
toll it took on her, leading
to a period of isolation and distrust.

34
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.599
However, Swift has since embraced a
more open approach to her life. Life

35
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.479
is short, have adventures, she
added, expressing a newfound trust and desire

36
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.439
to live life fully despite the chaos
of fame. Sam Jacobs, Times editor

37
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:13.520
in Chief spoke on NBC's Today about
their choice, stating that during twenty twenty

38
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.560
three, Swift was like whether she
was everywhere. Over the past ninety six

39
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.199
years, Times tradition has included a
range of figures, some of them controversial,

40
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:29.919
like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and
Iyatola Komani. And that concludes this
