00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.039
Callarogashawk Media. Hey Swifties, welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.

2
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:17.519
It's Sunday, June seventh, and we have some absolutely massive developments,

3
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.399
including Taylor's surprise new song I Knew It, I Knew

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:27.120
You for Toy Story five, instantly topping iTunes charts. Madison

5
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.160
Square Garden officially confirmed as the July third wedding venue,

6
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.479
Taylor making history as the richest female musician ever with

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.039
a two billion dollar net worth according to Forbes. Court

8
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.119
side seats from her Cavalier's Playoff appearances going to auction,

9
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.920
and some mixed reactions to her casual business look in

10
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.560
a photo with former Disney CEO Bob Eiger. This is

11
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.920
going to be an incredible deep dive, so let's get started.

12
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.159
The biggest musical surprise Taylor dropped I Knew It, I

13
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.120
Knew You for Toy Story five, and it immediately conquered

14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.239
the iTunes Top Songs chart. The track easily beats new

15
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:13.079
releases from Madonna, Muse, Keith Urban, and three versions of

16
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.920
Ariana Grande's Hate that I Made You Love Me. Taylor's

17
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.799
fan base continues proving they love purchasing her music even

18
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:26.760
in the streaming era. The collaboration details are amazing. VFX

19
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.480
supervisor Thomas Jordan revealed that Taylor has been a secret

20
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.439
since February. Turns out, Taylor Swift is a huge Toy

21
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.760
Story fan like many of us. She actually saw an

22
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.920
early version of the film, requested to see it before

23
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.599
it was finished, and she wrote the song and then

24
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.959
asked us if we wanted it, and we said, ah, yes,

25
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.200
yes we do. The secrecy was intense. Only a very

26
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.599
small group of the Toy Story five team knew about

27
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.760
the song, so they had to create a decoy version

28
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.040
of the film with ut Taylor's track to show press

29
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.480
and other Disney staff. The crew that made Toy Story

30
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.639
five did not know about this secret until last week.

31
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.240
This level of confidentiality rivals her wedding planning. The song

32
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.919
itself is getting rave reviews. Critics are calling it an

33
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.759
answer song to Randy Newman's devastating When She Loved Me

34
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.039
from Toy Story two, with Taylor writing from Jesse's perspective

35
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.400
as she's reunited with Emily. One review praised some of

36
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:33.560
her loveliest and tightest songwriting in quite some time, with

37
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.080
lyrics like toys being parachutes for the free fall of

38
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.439
being younger. What's beautiful is the personal connection. Taylor said

39
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.719
she's loved Toy Story since the first film came out

40
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.840
when she was five. She's now thirty six. Many fans

41
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.080
who have grown up alongside Swift will be watching this

42
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.439
film with their own five year olds. The review noted

43
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.960
any Swifty parent listening to So I Knew It, I

44
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.919
Knew You at the cinema can use their own tears

45
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:09.319
to salt their popcorn. The country sound has fans speculating

46
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.639
about her musical future. After the Life of a Showgirl

47
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.599
was called her worst received record, This return to rootsy

48
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.319
storytelling feels like a reminder of what fans love about Swift.

49
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.319
The organic instrumentation with beautiful rooms sound on the drums

50
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.280
contrasts perfectly with the ai themes in Toy Story. Five

51
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.319
wedding venue confirmed. Both in Touch and TMZ are now

52
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.639
reporting Madison's Square Garden as the July third venue. An

53
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.759
in Touch source exclusively revealed the couple is getting married

54
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.840
at none other than Madison Square Garden for fourth of

55
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.759
July weekend. TMZ confirmed with their own source that it's

56
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:56.080
happening July third, in the middle of Manhattan. This makes

57
00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:00.639
perfect sense for security and logistics. MSG can hand massive

58
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.840
events with world class security infrastructure. As TMZ noted, they

59
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.599
have lots of iconic options in Manhattan, including Central Park,

60
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.400
Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, the NYC Public Library,

61
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.680
but MSG offers the most controlled environment. The guest management

62
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.600
continues via text. TMZ reports Taylor has been reaching out

63
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.800
to her guests over text with more info rather than

64
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:32.199
formal invitations. This follows the pattern of personally calling people

65
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.920
for save the dates while keeping location details secret until

66
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:42.560
the last minute. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish may have accidentally

67
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.279
confirmed this earlier in the week when she mentioned a

68
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.120
potential Taylor Swift wedding needing big time security presence in July.

69
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.759
She tried to claim she was only kidding, but TMZ

70
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.519
notes sounds like she wasn't joking after all. The guest

71
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.399
philosophy is qual over quantity. A source told Rob Shooter

72
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.399
Taylor wants to look around the room and recognize every face.

73
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:11.240
She doesn't want people there simply because they're famous. This

74
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.199
suggests the final list will be genuinely close friends rather

75
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:23.480
than celebrity networking, historic wealth milestone. Forbes Iconoclass fifty list

76
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.279
officially named Taylor the richest female musician in history, with

77
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.439
a two billion dollar net worth as of March twenty

78
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.839
twenty six. This represents a four hundred million dollar increase

79
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.759
from her August twenty twenty five estimate of one point

80
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.240
six billion dollars. The Eras Tour was the foundation the

81
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.720
sixteen month global tour a mass two point two billion

82
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.600
dollars and became the highest grossing concert tour in history.

83
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.639
But her wealth also comes from her extensive music catalog,

84
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.399
including the Life of a Showgirl and The Tortured Poets Department.

85
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.560
Her re recording strategy paid off massively. Her unorthodox but

86
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.000
revolutionary move allowed her to regain ownership and earn her

87
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.639
own royalties. She took control of her masters in May

88
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.199
twenty twenty five in an estimated three hundred sixty million

89
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.000
dollar sale, six years after they were sold to Scooter Braun.

90
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.519
Her real estate portfolio worth one hundred ten million dollars,

91
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:31.720
also contributes significantly. Plus She continues her charitable giving, including

92
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.160
one hundred thousand dollars to the Kansas City Chief's Super

93
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.759
Bowl Parade victim's family, and one million dollars for Tennessee

94
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.199
natural disaster relief. This puts her among entertainment royalty on

95
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.240
the Forbes list, alongside Ryan Coogler, Beyonce, Bad Bunny, and

96
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.720
The Weekend. The fact that she's the richest female musician

97
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.199
ever at just thirty six years old is absolutely unprecedented.

98
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:09.519
More in a moment collectible mania, the court side seats

99
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.680
Taylor and Travis used during the twenty twenty six Eastern

100
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.600
Conference Finals are going to auction. Fans can own the

101
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.800
actual court side chairs occupied by some of the biggest

102
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:26.240
names in sports and entertainment, plus game used signed basketballs, jerseys,

103
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:32.279
and the actual nets. The auction includes seats connected to Taylor, Travis,

104
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:37.319
Timothy Shallome, Kylie Jenner, Ben Stiller, and Machine Gun Kelly.

105
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.120
The celebrity chairs are authenticated by the Realist, the Cavaliers

106
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:48.079
official memorabilia partner for Swifties. This represents something even rarer,

107
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.000
a chance to own a piece of history from the

108
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:55.240
action on the court. The items include the official game

109
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.199
used basketball from Game three and nets from both Cleveland

110
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.079
Conference five Finals games on May twenty third and twenty fifth.

111
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.600
This auction captures one of the most electric playoff atmospheres

112
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.480
in franchise history, and Taylor's presence definitely contributed to that energy.

113
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:19.560
Fashion critique, Taylor's casual business look with former Disney CEO

114
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:24.360
Bob Eiger sparked mixed reactions on social media. The photo

115
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.360
shows them together during one of his last days as

116
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:31.199
CEO in March, but fans had strong opinions about her

117
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.360
grage outfit of houndstooth blouse and pleated slacks. Reddit critics

118
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:41.559
called the look disheveled and unflattering, with one commenting, my god,

119
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.639
if only billions could buy a sense of style. Others

120
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.240
defended it, saying I think it's cute and professional enough,

121
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.399
and suggesting she might not have expected to pose for

122
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.399
photos that day. The criticism seems harsh considering this was

123
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:58.679
clearly a casual business meeting, not a red carpet event.

124
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.799
Taylor's been exped ferimenting with more relaxed styling lately, and

125
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.799
not every outfit needs to be a fashion statement. The

126
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.519
fact that she's building business relationships with Disney leadership is

127
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:14.960
more important than perfect styling. Looking at this week's stories together,

128
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:23.360
surprise musical collaborations, wedding venue confirmations, historic wealth milestones, memorabilia opportunities,

129
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:27.720
and fashion discussions. It shows Taylor's incredible range, from artistic

130
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:32.519
creativity to business success to personal celebrations. The Toy Story

131
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.039
five collaboration proves she's still finding new ways to surprise

132
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.600
fans while honoring her musical roots. The MSG wedding venue

133
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.639
makes practical sense for their security needs, the two billion

134
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.720
dollar net worth validates her business strategy and artistic impact,

135
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.360
and the auction items let fans own pieces of their

136
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:58.759
court side memories. Taylor Swift Today has an official Facebook
