of The New Heights podcast, which he

5
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:33.320
co hosts with his brother Jason Kelcey. The reference came up during a discussion

6
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:39.000
about quarterback Kenny Pickett's trade from the
Pittsburgh Steelers to the Philadelphia Eagles. Kenny

7
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.320
and the Steelers their relationship ended in
a little Bad Blood, Travis Krohon,

WSJ magazine, Travis expressed his appreciation
for Swift's twenty fourteen album nineteen eighty nine,

11
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.240
stating blank Space was one I wanted
to hear live for sure. I

12
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.120
could make a bad guy good for
the weekend. That's a hell of a

13
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:12.239
line. Taylor Swift's aristour concert film

song and You're On your Own Kid,

23
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.400
are featured in the twenty six minute

24
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:07.159
captured during Swift's first three Los Angeles
shows of the Aras Tour in August of

25
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.800
the previous year. Reports suggest that
Disney paid over seventy five million dollars for

26
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.759
the worldwide streaming rights to the Arastour
Concert film, which was produced by Swift's

27
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:22.759
company. Prior to its streaming debut, Taylor Swift, the Aras tour had

28
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.439
a successful theatrical run, grossing two
hundred and sixty one million worldwide since its

29
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:35.800
October thirteenth release, setting a new
record for the highest grossing concert film.

30
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.039
Taylor Swift continues to maintain a strong
connection with Maya Thompson, the mother of

31
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.919
the late Ronan Thompson, whom Swift
honored with the emotional ballad Ronan as a

32
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.439
charity single that was later included on
Red Taylor's version. During a recent TikTok

33
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.639
q and A, Maya, who
was also credited as a co writer of

34
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.879
the song, revealed that she still
communicates with the pop star. Do I

35
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.439
still talk to Taylor? I do, Maya said in the clip, adding

36
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.719
I'll share some things, not everything, because I'm protective of her. Maya

37
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.759
explained that Swift provides her with all
my concert tickets and described the delicate singer

38
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.639
as the best and so kind and
so generous. She expressed her deep affection

39
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.479
for Swift, stating, twelve years
later, She's still here, so I

40
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:27.199
love her dearly. Ronan was initially
released as a standalone single, which Swift

41
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.879
performed at the twenty twelve Stand Up
to Cancer Telethon in memory of Ronan,

42
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:36.080
who passed away from neuroblastoma in May
twenty eleven. According to Billboard, the

43
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.280
song incorporated direct quotes from Maya's blog
and was written from the perspective of the

44
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:46.400
grieving mother. In July twenty twenty
one, Maya shared in a blog post

45
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.560
that Swift had reached out to her
for permission to include Ronan on the remastered

46
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.479
version of Red. Maya described her
emotional reaction upon receiving an email from Swift,

47
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.319
saying, tears sprang to my eyes. It took me an hour to

48
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.680
absorb the words in front of me. I cried. While sharing the news,

49
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.719
Maya shared a portion of the email
Swift reportedly sent, which read,

50
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:13.000
I've recently completed the re recording of
my fourth album. Read It's really exceeded

51
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.279
my expectations in so many ways,
and one of those ways is that I

52
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.759
thought it would be appropriate to add
Ronan to this album. Swift further explained

53
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.519
the significance of the album, stating
Red was an album of heartbreak and healing,

54
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.720
of rage and rawness, of tragedy
and trauma, and of the loss

55
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.600
of an imagined future alongside someone I
wrote Ronan while I was making read and

56
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:42.560
discovered your story as you so honestly
and devastatingly told it. Taylor Swift recently

57
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.279
surprised fans by sending a special message
to those who pre saved her upcoming eleventh

58
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:53.199
album, The Tortured Poet's Department on
Apple Music as the highly anticipated record became

59
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.399
available for pre saving ahead of its
release next month. Fans were excited to

60
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.399
hear a personal voice note from the
singer herself. In the recording, she

61
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.319
said, Hi, Apple Music,
it's Taylor. Thank you for pre adding

62
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:09.959
The Tortured Poet's Department. She went
on to express her enthusiasm for the album,

63
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.160
stating, I'm really proud to be
able to share it with you on

64
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.079
April nineteenth. I can't wait for
you to hear it. Along with the

65
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:21.040
voice note, the album's track list
revealed that this would be Swift's most explicit

66
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.480
record to date, with seven songs
containing curse words or language deemed sexual,

67
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:32.839
violent, or offensive in nature.
The explicit tracks are down bad but Daddy,

68
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.399
I love him, I owe my
I can do it with a broken

69
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.800
heart, the Smallest Man Who Ever
Lived Florida, and the title track.

70
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.079
Apple Music categorized the album's genre as
Pop, aligning it with some of Swift's

71
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:53.879
most beloved works such as Red nineteen
eighty nine, Lover Reputation, and Midnights.

72
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.519
Fans have been speculating about the inspiration
behind the song names, with some

73
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.879
linking them to Swift's former Blak boyfriends, including Harry Styles and Joe Alwin.

74
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.959
One Twitter user pointed out the track
so Long London, which could potentially refer

75
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.240
to British born Alwyn, whom Swift
dated for six years before their reported split

76
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.319
in early twenty twenty three. Some
fans also believe that the album title itself

77
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.879
might be a reference to a WhatsApp
group chat called the Tortured Man Club that

78
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.040
Alwyn shared with friends Paul Muscall and
Andrew Scott back in twenty twenty two.

79
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.519
The news of the album's track list
and potential references to past relationships has sparked

80
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.639
excitement among fans, with one writing
on x this is the breakup album,

81
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.240
while another expressed concern for Alwyn,
saying I hope for Joe's sake that he

82
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.040
still has that group chat. I
feel like he's going to need it more

83
00:06:47.079 --> 00:07:02.279
In a moment. A silent film
from the nineteen twenties believed to have been

84
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:08.560
lost forever, was surprisingly discovered in
an Omaha parking lot and auctioned off to

85
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:14.199
an unsuspecting collector for a mere twenty
dollars. The film, titled The Pill

86
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.879
Pounder, will be screened for the
first time in one hundred one years at

87
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:24.480
the upcoming San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Kansas City filmmaker Gary Huggins purchased the

88
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.680
film along with a stack of other
reels last year, unaware of its significance.

89
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.399
Upon viewing one of the films,
Huggins was astonished to spot actress Clara

90
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:39.120
Bow, one of the biggest stars
of the silent era. Bow's name has

91
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.839
recently gained renewed attention as it is
featured in the title of a song on

92
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.160
Taylor Swift's forthcoming album. Huggins later
discovered that the film was the missing nineteen

93
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.480
twenty three comedy short. It was
the best twenty dollars I've ever invested,

94
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.319
for sure. That was a big
rush when I realized it was a Clara

95
00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:01.759
Bow. David Sten, Clara Bo's
biographer, shared Huggins's inayenthusiasm for the incredible

96
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.879
discovery. He described Bo as the
it girl of the late nineteen twenties and

97
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.240
the first sex symbol in American cinema. Men wanted to have her and women

98
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.279
wanted to be her. Sten said, you have to imagine a time when

99
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.439
the idea of a woman having independence
and autonomy didn't exist, and you went

100
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.680
to the movies and saw Clara Bow. She was the first truly liberated woman

101
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.480
on screen. Sten emphasized the rarity
of such a find saying, the fact

102
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.840
that this film was discovered a century
after it was made, when does that

103
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:39.320
happen? Historians have drawn comparisons between
Clara Bow and modern day superstars, making

104
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:46.240
her connection to Taylor Swift unsurprising.
She influenced her entire generation and successive generations

105
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.240
after her. So in the nineteen
thirties everyone said, Gene Harlowe is the

106
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.840
new Clara Bow. In the nineteen
forties it was Rita Hayworth, and in

107
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.759
the fifties it was Marilyn Monroe,
and it went on and on and on.

108
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.879
Sten explained, if she didn't break
the mold, she created the mold,

109
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.600
and there you have it. Please
