Caitlin's Entertainment Report, He's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Taylor Swift's latest album has sold one point six million
US units in a single day, including six hundred thousand vinyls,
all thanks to Jason Brown the eighth versions of it.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
There You Go. We got to have all the different covers.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Which puts The Tortured Poet's Department on track to become
one of the highest selling music releases since Nielsen began
tracking album sales in nineteen ninety one. Of the one
point six million US album equivalent units, about one point
four million of that, Telly came from traditional format sales,
Like I said, vinyl CDs and cassettes, which is very

(00:43):
weird for a country where streaming is the dominant form
of music listening. So that's pretty crazy. I mean, fans
want to collect her stuff. Speaking of Taylor, her workout
routine is so brutal that our trainer, Kirk Meyer says
it would make most people throw up. He was talking
to Vogue about how she prepared for her three and
a half half hour a night eras Tours Shows, said

(01:04):
that they choreographed her workout like a professional athlete with
an off season. When she wasn't touring in an in
season when she was performing. Off season training was rough.
Taylor trained up to six days a week for about
two hours each day while she zeroed in on improving
her strength and conditioning and focusing on core exercises for
balance and stability, which helps her dance. I know she

(01:24):
also cut out drinking to prep and would sing the
entire show on a treadmill, running during the fast songs
and walking out of breath, which is crazy. While she
was on the road, she dove into in season training
to maintain stability, mobility, and strength, and would do biomechanical
stretches to strengthen her spine, soft tissues, and other joints

(01:45):
in her body. Kirk says that he was already a
fan when they met through a mutual friend and has
finally embraced his cool title as Taylor Swift's trainer. That's
all he is.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Notice it's pretty impressive that she can do that at
night in and night out. Yeah, and I know she
takes time off in the middle of the week, but still,
you guys have to resk us toitate me at least
three times each morning. He was sit here and talk.
Oh the gorilla. Forget about that. That takes hours of preparation.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
How do you train for that?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Well? This soft tissue exercises with what's his name again.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Kirk Myers, Yeah, that's his name. Yeah, you got two trainers.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah I do. I got this guy too.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Do you think Taylor's doing those hip thrust things you do?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh? The sky sky humping? I don't know, but I
don't know good. But do they look as good as mine?
I don't know. I really am not sure. I believe
those are called glute bridges, but I'm more of a
sky humping guy myself.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Real house wif Bethany Frankel's mom passed away, and she
shared several sweet photos of Bernadette while being very honest
about their complicated relationship, which I mean, you don't see
this a lot, but I mean she was honest in
saying that her mom dealt with her own demons, which
made her leave home early. Bethany did, and she called
her mom funny, cultured, and wise, before saying that she

(02:58):
simply wasn't equipped to be a mother and didn't enjoy responsibility.
In fact, Bethanie says that she only mended fences with
her mom after her daughter Brynn, who is now thirteen,
which is crazy if you've been watching her consistently pushed
to meet her grandma, and she says that she is
grateful they got to work on things. But if you
have followed Bethanie's career, you know how she feels about
her mom. She even told people in twenty ten there

(03:20):
was a lot of destruction, alcohol abuse, eating disorders, and
violent fights. So you don't often see a death tribute
that's on this, but I guess that's her truth.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
