00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.279
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. It's Sunday,

3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.400
which means it's time for our regular weekly episode, and

4
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.000
we have so much to unpack, from exclusive wedding venue

5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.000
details to some controversy with Mamma Kelsey, plus Taylor's VMA's

6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.000
decision and Patrick Mahomes being the ultimate wingman.

7
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:27.839
We're covering it all today.

8
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.199
Settle in because this is going to be a long

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:31.719
one with lots of feelings.

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:33.799
Let's dive right in.

11
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.560
First up, Daily Mail has exclusive details about the wedding

12
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.359
location and oh my god, it's happening at Taylor's Rhode

13
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.200
Island mansion, the twenty eight million dollar oceanfront estate in

14
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.159
Watch Hill. Yes, the legendary Fourth of July party House

15
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.320
is officially going to be the venue. An insider exclusively

16
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.399
told Daily Mail his family doesn't care where it's at.

17
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.079
It could be in timbuktwo and they'd go there for it.

18
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.560
But yeah, right now is that it's going to be

19
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.359
in Rhode Island at her mansion. But here's where it

20
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.920
gets interesting. There's apparently some disagreement about the size of

21
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.319
the wedding. The source revealed he wants a big blowout

22
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.879
with everyone he loves. But he did say that he

23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.000
has to run it by her, so I'd guess he

24
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.400
wants a bigger thing than she does.

25
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:19.640
This makes total sense.

26
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.799
Travis has his entire chiefs team, his huge friend group,

27
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.439
and he's such a social guy. But Taylor, after years

28
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.239
of public scrutiny, might want something more intimate. Finding that

29
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.239
balance is going to be tricky. The Rhode Island mansion

30
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.359
is perfect for a wedding, though, five acres with manicured gardens,

31
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.519
a swimming pool and poolhouse, sweeping patios, and seven hundred

32
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.000
feet of private beach, eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, eight fireplaces.

33
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.920
She bought this place in twenty thirteen when she was

34
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.879
just twenty three, and reportedly paid in full with a

35
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.159
single wire transfer.

36
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.239
This house has history too.

37
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:01.079
It's hosted everyone from Selena Gomez to Tom Hittleston, Calvin Harris,

38
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.400
and Joe Jonas over the years. Travis and their friends

39
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.159
were there in August twenty twenty four for a private getaway,

40
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.599
and with that one point seven million dollar expansion underway,

41
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.479
she might be setting the stage for her biggest party yet.

42
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.719
Now we need to address some controversy that's been brewing.

43
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.960
Donna Kelsey has come under fire after being tied to

44
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.520
what fans are calling a misogynistic post about Taylor's uterus.

45
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:26.840
Yes you heard that right.

46
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.719
Comedian Leanne Morgan posted a video where she joked her

47
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.840
uterus is aching and she wants a baby. She wants

48
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.280
to breed with that big old Kelsey boy. Morgan tagged

49
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.080
Donna as a joint collaborator and commented, congratulations girl, grand

50
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.919
babies playing ball and singing.

51
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.199
Fans are divided on this.

52
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.319
Some think Donna accidentally accepted an invite when Morgan uploaded

53
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:50.680
the video.

54
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.639
Others are calling it internalized misogyny.

55
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.000
One Reddit user pointed out making misogynistic comments about a

56
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.360
woman in her body is not such a a mom

57
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.000
thing to do. But others are defending Donna, saying she's

58
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.960
just excited about grandkids and probably didn't think it through.

59
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.000
The post has since been deleted.

60
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.680
Look, I get that Donna's excited, but talking about Taylor's

61
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.240
uterus publicly, that's crossing a line, even for a future

62
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.960
mother in law. Despite this controversy, sources tell people that

63
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:24.479
Donna is being adorably sentimental about the engagement She's already

64
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.039
saving little things from this time, like photos, notes, and flowers.

65
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.919
She wants to remember every detail, so she has been

66
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.120
holding onto mementos from their first days as an engaged couple.

67
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.000
In other news, Taylor is skipping the MTV VMA's tonight.

68
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.719
She won't be at Ubs Arena, even though she's nominated

69
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.599
for Artist of the Year. She and Beyonce are currently

70
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.599
tied with thirty VMAs each. If Taylor wins, she'll become

71
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.039
the most decorated artist in VMA history. But Travis had

72
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.000
his season opener against the Chargers in Brazil on Friday,

73
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.039
and honestly, after last year when she thanked Travis in

74
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.719
her speech saying he was the one cheering from across

75
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.280
the studio, maybe she wants to keep the focus on

76
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.840
her music this time. Speaking of Brazil, TMZ confirmed Taylor

77
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.840
did not attend the game. No wags made the trip

78
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.520
since it's just a two day jawn with no time

79
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.519
for families to intermingle, plus security for Taylor in Brazil

80
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:20.839
would have been a nightmare.

81
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.279
It's the first game since their engagement announcement.

82
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.720
But we'll definitely see her at the Dallas game on

83
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.680
September fourteenth at Arrowhead. But the best moment from Brazil

84
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.279
was Patrick Mahomes correcting a reporter who asked Travis about

85
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.439
dating Taylor Swift and his off field activities. Patrick immediately interrupted,

86
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:44.480
saying engaged, and the room burst into laughter. Travis joked, yeah,

87
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.399
I got one more ring from it, then got Sirius saying,

88
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.560
ever since I've been dating Taylor, life has been fun.

89
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:51.839
It's been exciting.

90
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.240
Obviously there's a lot more eyes on me, and I

91
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.759
accept that, but I'm living life and living on a high.

92
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.639
I guess Patrick being the ultimate wingman and making sure

93
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.439
everyone knows his boy is engaged, not just dating. That's

94
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.680
true friendship right there. Aaron Andrews is also gushing about

95
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.639
the couple. She told E News this week that she

96
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.199
loved their New Heights podcast appearance because that's what we

97
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.879
get to see with them together, the way they interact,

98
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.600
how cute, funny, witty they both are, how they're sarcastic.

99
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.399
She praised both the proposal and how Taylor announced it, saying,

100
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.879
I feel like everything was really on display there and

101
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.399
that's what I thought was so special and really cool

102
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.360
that she gave others an invitation to see that. Reba

103
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.160
McIntyre also weighed in during an NFL segment. When asked

104
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.360
for one word to describe Taylor and Travis's relationship, she

105
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.319
sweetly said cute. Riba and Taylor are both country music.

106
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.639
Royalty and Riba wrote on Instagram in twenty twenty four,

107
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.759
Taylor is a wonderful artist, strong role model and has

108
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.519
done so much good for so many people and the

109
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.120
music industry. Now this next story is going to make

110
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:03.680
you cry happy tears. Travis's trainer Tony Vellani shared the

111
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.800
sweetest story about Taylor with USA Today. His eight year

112
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.560
old daughter, Carol Miles, walked in during a video call

113
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:15.000
and asked, Travis, where's your girlfriend? After asking some questions

114
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.680
about marriage, Taylor appeared on screen for a chat. Valani

115
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.040
said her and Travis just hammed it up with my

116
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.079
daughter for like two minutes. My daughter just couldn't speak

117
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.079
because she was in awe. He added, neither of them

118
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.480
needed to do that. I think they're just like that.

119
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.839
I really do. And it's very genuine about Travis, he said,

120
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.759
he's literally the most humble, fun loving, honest, genuine and

121
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.319
hard working guy there is. What you see on his

122
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.160
podcast that's him. There is no fakeness to it. This

123
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.839
is why we love them. Taking time during a video

124
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.399
call to make an eight year old's day.

125
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.360
That's character.

126
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.160
Speaking of kids being excited, Kylie Kelsey shared on Good

127
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.519
Morning America that Jason's four daughters are thrilled about the engagement.

128
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.279
They're so excited they're getting another aunt.

129
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.399
Can you imagine those girls as flower girls at the wedding?

130
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.720
Now I have to address this because it's honestly hilarious.

131
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.800
Skip Bayless is wondering if Taylor and Travis rushed their

132
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:16.519
engagement announcement to tarnish his podcast, I'm not making this up.

133
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.800
Last week, Skip and his wife recorded their podcast before

134
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.839
the engagement news broke. They discussed Taylor and had to

135
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.480
add a disclaimer. A listener asked if they rushed the

136
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.000
announcement because of Skip, and he wouldn't confirm or deny it.

137
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.240
Skip claimed he and his brother Jason Kelsey, He's in

138
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.199
every other ad on television and it's all because of

139
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:35.920
Taylor Swift.

140
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:37.639
Excuse me.

141
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.399
Jason's twenty eighteen Super Bowl Parade speech dressed as a

142
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.759
mummer was iconic long before Taylor. The Kelsey brothers were

143
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.680
already stars the narcissism of thinking Taylor Swift and Travis

144
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.639
Kelcey time their engagement announcement around your podcast schedule, Sir,

145
00:07:53.720 --> 00:08:03.360
they don't even know you exist. Looking at everything we've

146
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.319
covered today, what strikes me is how this wedding.

147
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.399
Is shaping up to be the event of the decade.

148
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.279
Rhode Island mansion, possibly hundreds of guests if Travis gets

149
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.120
his way. Two families who adore each other, and a

150
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.160
love story that's captured the world.

151
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.199
The venue choice is so perfect.

152
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.000
It's where Taylor has hosted her most memorable parties, where

153
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.240
she's created so many memories with friends, and now it'll

154
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.000
be where she marries the love of her life. Those

155
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.399
seven hundred feet of private beach, the gardens, the pool.

156
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.639
Can you imagine the photos. I love that there's some

157
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.159
negotiation about the wedding size. It shows their real people

158
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.679
working through real decisions together. Travis wanting to celebrate with

159
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:47.320
everyone he loves is so hymn and Taylor potentially wanting

160
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.759
