Calarugashawk Media.

2
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.240
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,

3
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:14.839
and we are still living in the engagement era. The

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.320
Internet hasn't stopped buzzing since Tuesday's announcement, and today we're

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.519
diving deep into all the wedding speculation, venue possibilities, and

6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.239
some drama that has Taylor reportedly furious. Plus, we need

7
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.719
to talk about what this engagement means for her music

8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.840
going forward before we dive in quick announcement. We'll be

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.079
doing bonus episodes as this story develops, so make sure

10
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.280
you're following the show. We'll keep our regular Sunday episodes

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.600
with Thursday bonuses when big news breaks.

12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:45.119
Now, let's get into it.

13
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.640
First up, America is preparing for what's essentially going to

14
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.320
be our own royal wedding. Fashion experts are already weighing

15
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.079
in on who might design the dress. According to style

16
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.320
expert Liz Tich, who spoke exclusively to Daily Mail, Taylor

17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.759
might go with e Lee Sob. He's been her red

18
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.560
carpet staple for over a decade, including that iconic ombre

19
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.239
Grammy dress from twenty fifteen and multiple eras tour gowns.

20
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.719
But here's where it gets interesting. Taylor loves supporting smaller brands,

21
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.480
like she did with her engagement ring from Kindred Lubeck.

22
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.400
Tyke thinks she might choose Nicole plus Felicia Kuture, who

23
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.760
already made that insane gown with over two hundred thousand

24
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.760
hands own crystals for the Eras Tour.

25
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.599
Can you imagine what they could create for her wedding.

26
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.359
Celebrity style expert Heather Campbell Green also mentioned Taylor's history

27
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.640
with Vivian Westwood, Versace and Zuher Murad, but the one

28
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.840
that caught my attention Oscar de la Rena. It has

29
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.040
strong New York roots, which would be so symbolic since

30
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.680
New York has been central to Taylor's story. Remember that gorgeous,

31
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.480
pale blue gown she wore to the Arastour movie premiere.

32
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:51.840
Pure magic.

33
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.239
As for the dress, style, experts predict something classic feminine

34
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:57.840
and a little vintage inspired.

35
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:02.159
Think full skirt, delicate life, possibly long sleeves or.

36
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.680
Off shoulder, and knowing Taylor, there will definitely be Easter

37
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.759
eggs embroidered or beated into the design. Also, multiple outfit

38
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.360
changes are basically guaranteed. This is Taylor Swift. We're talking

39
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.479
about the Queen of costume changes. Now, when is this

40
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.960
wedding happening? Sarah Hanlin from The Not pointed out that

41
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.080
Taylor and Travis dated for exactly two years before getting engaged,

42
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.280
which matches what thirty percent of couples do according to

43
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.520
their data, if they follow the average fifteen month engagement.

44
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.360
We're looking at November twenty twenty six, but with Travis's

45
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.479
NFL schedule and Taylor's album release, spring or summer seems

46
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.080
more likely. Travis actually addressed this on New Heights earlier

47
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.759
this year, saying he's never been to a fall wedding

48
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.280
because of football season. He joked about finding a weekend

49
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.599
where the team isn't playing anybody good, but basically ruled

50
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.800
out autumn entirely.

51
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:56.639
Let's talk venues.

52
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.840
Remember when Taylor and Travis were spotted in Chagrin Falls

53
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.960
off Ohio this summer. Well sources tell us they may

54
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.919
have checked out an eighteen million dollar mansion in nearby

55
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.919
Hunting Valley. This place is insane, sixty one acres, six bedrooms,

56
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.919
thirteen bathrooms, and it has a music studio built in

57
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.280
twenty eighteen, barely lived in with a wine cellar, Billiard's room,

58
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:24.000
movie theater, golf simulator, jim sauna, pool, and outdoor kitchen,

59
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.240
perfect for hosting their famous friends. The location makes sense.

60
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.479
It's Travis's hometown area, there are no paparazzi, and it's

61
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.240
twenty minutes from an airport where Taylor could land her jet.

62
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.120
Plus there are equestrian properties nearby, remember.

63
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.120
Taylor grew up with horses.

64
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.400
But the ultimate summer wedding venue Taylor's seventeen million dollar

65
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.800
Rhode Island mansion. She's already planning a one point seven

66
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.560
million dollar renovation, including a four hundred square foot expansion

67
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.000
and an enlarged bedroom, suite and lounge wedding preparations Perhaps.

68
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.599
Celebrity wedding planner Michelle der Petty thinks ro Island is

69
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.039
a strong contender for privacy and flexibility, but she's not

70
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.439
ruling out a destination wedding. She mentioned Italy, specifically Pulia,

71
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.439
Lake Como or Tuscany. Something extraordinary at Castilion del Bosco,

72
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:18.120
can you imagine? Now, let's address what the BBC is

73
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.240
calling the big question, what does this engagement mean for

74
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:22.120
Taylor's music?

75
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.759
They point out that Taylor's greatest gift.

76
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.480
Is weaving her own story into songs, and her love

77
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.079
life has been the connective tissue of her writing since

78
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.600
day one, from Tim McGraw about her high school boyfriend,

79
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.680
to All Too Well about Jake Gillenhall to get Away

80
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.079
Car about Tom Hiddleston.

81
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.680
Heartbreak has fueled her biggest hits.

82
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.879
As Florence Welsch once said, contentment is a creativity killer.

83
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.920
The article mentions Bruce Springsteen's worst albums came after marital bliss.

84
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.519
But here's the thing, Taylor's already proven she can write

85
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.879
incredible music from a place of happiness. Her relationship with

86
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.879
Joe Alwyn gave us delicate and lover and during that

87
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.199
relationship she pivoted to fictional storytelling with folklore and evermore,

88
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.439
which completely rejuvenated her career. The Life of a Showgirl

89
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.600
was recorded during the early stages of her relationship with Travis,

90
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:18.079
and she described it as coming from the most infectiously joyful, wild,

91
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.800
dramatic place. Travis called it twelve Bangers, so clearly happiness

92
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.879
isn't hurting her creativity. Some fans have pointed out that

93
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.079
her thirteenth album, Her Lucky Number, will be the first

94
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.079
to address her marriage. As the BBC notes, for conspiracy

95
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.199
minded swifties, it almost looks as though she's planned it

96
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.759
all along. Now we need to address some drama that's

97
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.399
reportedly making Taylor furious. An adult performer named Bonnie Blue

98
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.040
made some comments that shifted attention from Taylor's album announcement

99
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:51.560
to her personal life.

100
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.759
According to Radar Online.

101
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.759
A source close to Taylor said she was disgusted that

102
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.480
someone would use her name to get themselves into headlines.

103
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.120
The timing apparently wasn't coincidental.

104
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.560
Just as Taylor was celebrating her new album, this person

105
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:06.959
managed to distract the public.

106
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:08.800
Sources say Taylor.

107
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.279
Is embarrassed and upset and angry that this has intruded

108
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.920
on a career milestone. Travis is reportedly appalled too, but

109
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.439
they're both trying to keep the situation at arm's length

110
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.600
and move on quickly. Honestly, good for them for not

111
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:34.040
feeding into the drama more. In a moment, looking at

112
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.040
everything we've covered today, what strikes me is how this

113
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.600
wedding is going to be the perfect blend of Taylor's

114
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.240
esthetic and their love story, whether it's in Rhode Island, Ohio,

115
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.519
or Italy, whether she wears Eli sob or supports an

116
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.560
up and coming designer. Whether they have two hundred guests

117
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.560
or two thousand, this is going to be the wedding

118
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.439
of the century. The security alone will probably cost millions.

119
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.720
Remember she spent thirty million dollars on security for the

120
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.680
year European leg of the Era's tour. But as wedding

121
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.120
planner Michelle der Petty said, it won't just be about opulence.

122
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.639
It'll be about creating a celebration layered with personal meaning,

123
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.600
thoughtful details and unforgettable experiences. And can we talk about

124
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.319
how the entire internet is reacting? Within minutes of their announcement,

125
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.959
they got likes from Sabrina Carpenter, Vanessa Bryant, and Kelsey Ballerini.

126
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.680
Patrick Mahomes shared the post with hard emojis. Even the

127
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:33.199
NFL reposted their photos. The title love story started trending immediately.

128
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:34.600
How perfect is that?

129
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.480
One comment that made me emotional said literally crying for

130
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.439
my close and personal friend Taylor Swift. Another wrote, from

131
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.279
concerts to touchdowns, now wedding bells, truly a match made

132
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.360
in heaven. We're all feeling like proud friends watching our

133
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.560
girl find her happily ever after. As for her music

134
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.279
evolving with marriage, author Olivia Petter told BBC it's a

135
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.160
different kind of fairy tale, a different kind of fantasy

136
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:00.639
that she's stepping into.

137
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:00.920
Now.

138
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.319
We're not losing the Taylor who writes about love and heartbreak.

139
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.639
We're gaining a Taylor who can write about partnership, building

140
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.600
a life together, and yes, probably some incredible wedding songs.

141
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.560
That's all for today's episode.

142
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.439
What venue do you think they'll choose, which designer should

143
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.920
make her dress? And how do you feel about Taylor's

144
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.800
music potentially shifting with marriage. Taylor Swift Today now has
