2
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:11.839
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host,

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.000
Ali and it's Sunday, which means we're back with our

4
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.559
regularly scheduled episode. But before we dive into all the

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.640
incredible news we have today, and trust me, there's so

6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.920
much to unpack, I need to address something really important.

7
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:26.399
Guys, I owe you all a massive apology.

8
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.440
Last week, when we did those bonus episodes about Taylor's

9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.560
new album announcement on New Heights, I got so caught

10
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.320
up in the excitement that I shared some incorrect information

11
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:37.799
about the track list for the Life of a Showgirl.

12
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.159
We were rushing to bring you the news as.

13
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.679
Fast as possible and I got caught in a feed

14
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.000
that had false information. I'm really really sorry about that.

15
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.679
Thank you to everyone who pointed it out in the comments.

16
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.240
You keep me honest and I'm so grateful for that.

17
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.200
Hopefully you still love us because we promised to always

18
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.359
do better. We know you trust us to bring you

19
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.600
the facts and I take that responsibility seriously. Now that said,

20
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.840
let's get into today's episode, because, oh my god, do

21
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.439
we have some amazing updates from relationship milestones to Super

22
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.079
Bowl theories hidden in sourdough bread. Yes you heard that right,

23
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.799
Plus some seriously awkward X encounters and stunning album photography

24
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.079
that has everyone talking. Let's dive in first up, and

25
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.159
this is making my heart absolutely burst. Taylor and Travis

26
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.400
are approaching their two year anniversary next month. Can you

27
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.159
believe it's been almost two years since Travis shot has

28
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.799
shot on his podcast? According to US Weekly, sources are

29
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.239
saying their relationship has reached incredible new depths during their

30
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.959
summer downtime. One insider revealed they found a lot of

31
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.560
common ground they were not expecting and it made their

32
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.879
relationship stronger. Another source added, Taylor and Travis have settled

33
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.159
into a real rhythm as a couple, and the more

34
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.040
time they spend together, the more they realize how aligned

35
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.000
they are. I'm literally getting emotional thinking about how far

36
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.799
they've come. What's really fascinating is how they're sed mindset

37
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.599
has brought them together. A source explained, athletes have a

38
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.120
different mindset. They are more disciplined, and it's very similar

39
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.400
to Taylor's mindset. They even connect on everyday things like

40
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:12.479
food and workouts.

41
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:14.280
The insider said there are.

42
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.240
A lot of parallels between them, and during their downtime

43
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.199
this summer, they really noticed all the little things they

44
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.879
have in common. They feel like they've found their person

45
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.000
and you guys, the little details are killing me in

46
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.000
the best way. Sources say Taylor leaves Travis notes and

47
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.560
thoughtful gifts, something she had never experienced in a partner

48
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:38.039
before Travis, and he returns the gesture. Another insider described

49
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.840
Travis as having the best personality, noting that Taylor thinks

50
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.080
he's hilarious and engaging. They called them both very empathetic

51
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.599
people and said meeting someone with that quality has been

52
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.400
a dream come true for them. But here's the part

53
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.360
that has me screaming. Friends say they're aligned on their

54
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.199
future plans. One source revealed they want to be married

55
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.240
and have kids in the future. They're both genuinely ready

56
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.520
for that chapter. Are you kidding me? Wedding bells and

57
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.120
baby swifties in our future. Now, let's talk about how

58
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.719
Travis has influenced Taylor's new album, because this is absolutely fascinating.

59
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.800
According to Daily Mail's exclusive report, Travis made Taylor feel

60
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.680
safe enough to explore a sexier boulder side in the

61
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.520
Life of a showgirl. A source told them Travis treats

62
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.560
her with so much dignity and respect, and it has

63
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.680
allowed her to explore a sexier side of herself safely.

64
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.479
The insider claimed that Taylor refrained from doing this before

65
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.960
because she didn't feel as safe with other men as

66
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.080
she does with Travis. They called him a confidence booster

67
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.360
who encourages her self confidence, and she's aware of it.

68
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.000
The source said Taylor hopes fans can follow her through

69
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.919
all parts of her personality and that she's not bothered

70
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.360
by any potential criticism because her true fans are here

71
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:56.280
for the ride.

72
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:57.080
And that's what counts.

73
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.199
Speaking of the new album, Aaron Andrews had the best

74
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.919
reaction to Taylor's Riskue album photoshoot on her Calm Down podcast.

75
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.719
Aaron literally screamed, oh my god. We texted her and

76
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.479
were like, good morning, Like body Odie.

77
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:13.360
She looked great.

78
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.000
Her co host Carissa Thompson joked parentheses heads to Jim

79
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.360
and called Taylor incredible. They also praised Travis for being

80
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.040
Taylor's biggest cheerleader during the album announcement, noting how he

81
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.439
kept chiming in with Banger Banger Banger when she was

82
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:35.639
revealing song titles. Carissa added, Trav You're adorable, honestly supportive boyfriend.

83
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.720
Travis is my favorite, Travis. Now hold onto your hats

84
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.399
for this one, because Swifties have uncovered what might be

85
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.000
the most elaborate Easter egg ever. During Taylor's New Heights appearance,

86
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.879
she talked extensively about baking sour dough bread, saying it's

87
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.519
taken over my life in a huge way and that

88
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.439
she's thinking about it sixty percent of the time. Now

89
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.279
here's where it gets insane. Fans have connected this to

90
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.120
a potential Super Bowl halftime show performance in twenty twenty six.

91
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.439
The next Super Bowl is Super Bowl sixty and it's

92
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.800
being held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, home of

93
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.439
the San Francisco forty nine Ers. And guess what the

94
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.560
forty nine ers mascot is called? Soor Dow Sam. But wait,

95
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.040
there's more. At the beginning of the episode, Taylor thanked

96
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:26.240
Jason Kelcey for screaming for like forty seven seconds. The

97
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.079
forty seventh show of the Eristur was performed where at.

98
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.639
Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.

99
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.279
The layers of this potential Easter egg are absolutely mind

100
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:36.240
blowing more.

101
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:37.079
In a moment.

102
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.160
In other news, Kylie Kelsey had to highlight one of

103
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.439
Taylor's most badass moments from the podcast. Taylor joked, I

104
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.600
think we all know that if there's one thing male

105
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.800
sports fans want to see in their spaces and on

106
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.399
their screens, it's more of me.

107
00:05:58.519 --> 00:05:59.360
This clip has.

108
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.959
Gone viral on TikTok, with women athletes and sports personalities

109
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.519
using it everywhere. Kylie called it one of the most

110
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.000
badass things ever said on the podcast and loved seeing

111
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.759
Olympic athletes like Ilona mar and jymnast Livy Dunn using

112
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:18.680
the audio. As Kylie put it, men get used to it. Suckers, yes, Queen.

113
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.439
The Federal Trade Commission is suing ticket resellers who bought

114
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.360
thousands of Eras tour tickets using fake accounts. Key Investment

115
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.480
Group allegedly used forty nine different accounts to buy two

116
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.360
hundred and seventy three tickets for just one Swift concert,

117
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.439
evading the six ticket limit. This is part of the

118
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.560
ongoing crackdown on exploitative ticket reselling that makes it impossible

119
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.839
for real fans to get tickets at fair prices. Finally,

120
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:49.000
someone's doing something about these scalpers. Okay, this last story

121
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.839
is simultaneously hilarious and so awkward. Tom Hittleston was on

122
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.399
UK's Heart Radio when the host randomly brought up Taylor Swift.

123
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.160
While Tom was talking about reading sports journal. The host

124
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:06.000
mentioned Taylor's love of sourdough recipe blogs, and Tom literally froze.

125
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.839
His co star Karen Gillen had to jump in and

126
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.000
save the moment. The radio host later posted the clip

127
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.279
joking when you accidentally mention their ex Tom and Taylor

128
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.680
dated briefly in twenty sixteen, remember the infamous iHeart ts

129
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:21.319
tank top.

130
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.120
But it's been eight years.

131
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.160
The fact that he still gets flustered is kind of endearing,

132
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.800
but also shows how much Taylor's presence still impacts people

133
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.720
even years later. Looking at all these stories together, what

134
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.639
strikes me most is how Taylor has truly found her

135
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.879
person in Travis. The way he's given her the confidence

136
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.040
to explore new sides of herself artistically, the way they're

137
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.279
planning a future together, the little.

138
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.560
Notes and gifts they exchange.

139
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.120
This is the kind of love story we've been rooting

140
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.519
for all along, And if those Super Bowl theories are right,

141
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.560
can you imagine Taylor performing at Travis's sports biggest stage.

142
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.120
The full circle moment of it all would be absolutely incredible.

143
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.639
That's all for today's episode of Taylor Swift Today. What

144
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.639
do you think about those Super Bowl sourdough theories? Are
