00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.759
Calarrugashock Media. Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.
2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.000
It's Sunday, our regular weekly episode, and we have some
3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.039
wild developments including the White House using the Fate of
4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:22.199
Ophelia despite Trump's hate, Kayla Nicole throwing major Halloween shade,
5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.679
Taylor's perfect response to album critics, and she just made
6
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.000
history with four weeks at number one, Plus NYC date nights,
7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.960
and Miles Teller's wedding predictions. Let's dive in the most
8
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.920
shocking story this week. The official White House TikTok posted
9
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.520
a patriotic video of President Trump and his administration soundtracked
10
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.679
by the Fate of Ophelia. Yes, you heard that right.
11
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.640
The man who posted I Hate Taylor Swift in all
12
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.759
caps is now using her number one hit. Remember Trump
13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.560
warned Taylor's music sales would suffer after she endorsed Kamala Harris,
14
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.960
which was completely false. Also previously used a fake AI
15
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.920
image making it look like she endorsed him, which prompted
16
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.439
her endorsement statement, calling Harris a steady handed, gifted leader
17
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.079
who brings calm and not chaos. When Variety asked for comment,
18
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.480
a White House official replied We made this video because
19
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.519
we knew fake news media brands like Variety would breathlessly
20
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:25.239
amplify them. Congrats, you got played the audacity using her
21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.319
music while publicly hating her make it make sense. Trump's
22
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.719
last public comment about Taylor was actually positive after the
23
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.200
engagement announcement, calling Travis a great player and Taylor a
24
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.799
terrific person, wishing them luck, but using her song for
25
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:46.480
propaganda after everything, the hypocrisy is stunning. Now for the drama,
26
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.120
Kayla Nicole's Halloween costume was a direct shot at Taylor
27
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.599
and Travis. She dressed as Tony Braxton, recreating the two
28
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.120
thousand video for he Wasn't Mad Enough for Me, with
29
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.079
lyrics like did you know about us back then? Do
30
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.560
you know I dumped your husband? Girlfriend? Fans immediately caught
31
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:08.439
the shade. One commented the perfect costume plus song you
32
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.639
are Her Real Housewives star Besoma Saint John added, you
33
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.520
cleared the room. The level of petty slayage and pure
34
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.599
decimation needs to be studied. This comes after Opalite seemingly
35
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.400
referenced Kayla being on her phone constantly. There's literally a
36
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.000
resurfaced clip of Travis telling her at dinner. Oh my God,
37
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.479
get off your phone. You're not even drinking your wine anymore.
38
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.159
Can we go? Kayla fired back on Instagram Saturday with
39
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.680
an America's Next Top Model clip where Eva Marcille says,
40
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.280
I don't compare myself to other girls. I'm Eva. I'm
41
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.919
no comparison to anyone else. She also posted and when
42
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.120
God give you ball ball a clear clapback when trolls
43
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.719
have criticized her for talking about Travis. She said, life
44
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.319
handed me lemons and I made a lemon martini out
45
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.560
of it, and that upsets people. She's also said she's
46
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.520
done with athletes and wants to date executives or producers instead. Meanwhile,
47
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.800
Taylor's been living her best life in NYC. Wednesday night,
48
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.439
she and Travis had a rare date at Ralph Lauren's
49
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:17.240
exclusive Polo bar. Taylor looked effortlessly chic in gray, wide
50
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.719
legged pants, a classic black sweater, and Dior purse. Travis
51
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.479
towered over her in baggy green trousers and a black sweatshirt.
52
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.800
The couple held hands as security escorted them through fans
53
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.560
and photographers. They looked so in love. Nearly three months
54
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.039
after getting engaged, Taylor's Sandy blonde hair was down with
55
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:41.400
natural glam makeup no signature red lip this time. Monday
56
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.639
night was girls' night with Gigi Hadid at Zero Bond.
57
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.240
Taylor's massive engagement ring was on full display as she
58
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.240
wore a black blazer coat over a pleated mini dress
59
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.879
with snake print boots. Gigi looked equally cool in leather
60
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.639
trousers and a soft black trench. Miles Teller made some
61
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:03.120
wedding predictions at x CAD Savannah Film Festival. When asked
62
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.120
if he and wife Kelly would attend, he admitted, I
63
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.560
don't know if they'll make the guest list, despite being
64
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.520
longtime friends. He called it one impressive wedding, but said
65
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.240
he's just very happy for them. Miles starred in Taylor's
66
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.319
I Bet You Think About Me video with Keeley playing
67
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.079
the bride. Taylor captioned behind the scenes photos, calling Keeley
68
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.279
the coolest living human on planet Earth. Their friendship goes
69
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:32.120
back to twenty fifteen now for Taylor's perfect response to
70
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.920
album criticism. During an Apple Music interview, she handled the
71
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.319
mixed reviews brilliantly. First, she thanked her critics if it's
72
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.279
the first week of my album release, and you are
73
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.120
saying either my name or my album title, you're helping.
74
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.120
She focused on fans. Our goal as entertainers is to
75
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.120
be a mirror. What you're going through in your life
76
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.279
is going to affect whether you relate to the music
77
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.199
and putting out at any given moment. She gave people
78
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.160
permission to change their minds based on life events. She
79
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.079
stood by her work. When I'm making my music, I
80
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.519
know what I made, I know I adore it, and
81
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.720
cleverly pointed out that getting criticism fits the album's theme,
82
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.680
The Life of a Showgirl includes I paid my dues
83
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.680
with every bruise. I knew what to expect, She said,
84
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.720
all of this is part of it. This response is
85
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.120
a masterclass in handling criticism. She turned negativity into engagement,
86
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.560
made it about the fans, not herself, and stayed confident
87
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.319
in her art while acknowledging subjective opinions and the success
88
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.920
speaks for itself. The Life of a Showgirl just spent
89
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.319
its fourth consecutive week at number one on the Billboard
90
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.079
two hundred with one hundred forty six thousand units. It's
91
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.680
only the second album of twenty twenty five to spend
92
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.199
its first four weeks at number one, following Morgan Wallin's
93
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.800
eight weeks. The Fate of Ophelia also holds number one
94
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.160
on the Hot one hundred for a fourth week, with
95
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.040
twenty nine million streams and fifty five million in radio audience.
96
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.639
Taylor just achieved something no other artist has done, debuting
97
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.000
at number one on both Billboard two hundred and Hot
98
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.360
one hundred simultaneously and holding both for an entire month.
99
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.680
She released an acoustic alone in My Tower version available
100
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.199
through October thirtieth, helping fuel its continued rain. The closest
101
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.279
competition was K pop demon Hunter's soundtrack at number two
102
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:30.040
with eighty four thousand units. More in a moment looking
103
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.399
at this week, the irony of Trump using Taylor's music
104
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:37.399
while claiming to hate her, Kayla's petty but iconic Halloween shade,
105
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:42.000
Taylor living unbothered with NYC dates and making history on
106
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.519
the charts while gracefully handling criticism the fact that she's
107
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.160
breaking records while people claim the album is flopping. The
108
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.560
numbers don't lie. Four weeks at number one on both
109
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.319
major charts simultaneously has never been done before, and her
110
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.480
response to critics was so mature, acknowledging art is subjective
111
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:05.040
while standing confident in her work. Meanwhile, Kayla's Halloween costume
112
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.639
was entertainment gold even if it was shady. Taylor Swift

historic success. Stay fearless and keep breaking records. Swifti's
