Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calarugashawk Media. Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Today it's Sunday, which means it's time for our regular
weekly episode. We've got some concerning security updates, wedding planning revelations,
and Travis opening up about the pressure he's facing. Plus
Taylor's heading to Graham Norton, and there's a gorgeous new
cardigan dropping. But first we need to address some serious
stuff about Taylor's safety.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Let's dive in.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Okay, we need to talk about what happened at last
Sunday's Chiefs Game.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Taylor arrived hidden behind.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
What's believed to be a bulletproof screen, and she didn't
sit in her usual suite. Video showed security guards unfolding
this giant protective barrier to get her into Arrowhead unseen.
This sparked tons of speculation, with some people wondering if
she was hiding a pregnancy bump, but the real reason
is much more concerning. According to Daily Mail insiders, Taylor's
(00:58):
been receiving increased threats, particularly after endorsing Kamala Harris. A
source said Taylor had concerns because she has received hate
mail from extreme groups.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
She was targeted by far right.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Extremist groups after going against Trump, and there are legitimate
concerns about some of the threats that have been made.
They aren't taking any chances. The Insider noted that increased
political tensions and her ongoing stalker issues mean those around
her aren't taking any chances with safety. Remember this is
someone who literally carries quickclot army grade bandage dressing for
(01:32):
gunshot or stab wounds. She said in twenty nineteen, you
get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and
you kind of start prepping for bad things. Her dad, Scott,
was so terrified after she endorsed Democratic candidates in twenty
eighteen that he went out and bought armored cars. With
the Vienna terror threat last year, the Southport tragedy, and
(01:53):
multiple stalkers, including Jason Wagner, who just got a restraining order,
Taylor's security is no joke, An inside said. She took
these precautions because the world right now is totally screwed up,
and she not only wants to protect herself but everyone
that she surrounds herself with. It's heartbreaking that she can't
even enjoy a football game without these extreme measures.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
On a lighter note.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
After the Chiefs lost twenty to seventeen to the Eagles,
Taylor joined Travis at Patrick Mahomes's thirtieth birthday party at
their new restaurant, fifteen eighty seven Prime. She looked stunning
in a Simci plaid vest and skirt set the poppy
vest and peyton skirt with Gucci platform pumps and a
beaded Chanel necklace. Caine Brown posted photos of the party
(02:36):
with Taylor, Travis, Patrick, Brittany, and his wife Caitlin. He
wrote Happy birthday, Pat, and congrats Tee tee, acknowledging both
the birthday and the engagement. The plaid print Taylor war
is definitely going to be the fall trend. Now for
some major wedding news, Jimmy Fallon was on New Heights
this week and got Travis to spill some tea. When
(02:58):
asked about wedding planning, Travis said it's their next step,
but joked that one's going to be easy. I just
got to figure out how to win a football game first.
The wedding's going to be easy compared to trying to
fucking catch a goddamn football.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
But here's the big reveal.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
When Fallon asked DJ or band, Travis immediately said, yeah,
I think we're live music kind of people.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Of course they are.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
With Taylor being, you know, one of the biggest musicians
on the planet, did we expect anything else? The question
is who's going to perform? Will Taylor sing at her
own wedding? Will she get her famous friends? The possibilities
are endless. Speaking of Travis and football, we need to
address what happened after the Chief's loss. According to Rob
(03:42):
Shooter's source, Travis had a meltdown on the field, slamming
his helmet and frustration after a crucial drop. The source said,
the pressure of being mister Taylor Swift is getting to him.
Every move he makes is magnified a thousand times because
of Taylor. The insider claimed, if he fumbles, it's not
just a football mistake, it becomes a global headline.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
This kind of pressure has been eating at him.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Taylor was reportedly privately shaken and worried seeing how the
scrutiny was affecting him. A friend said, Taylor loves him,
but she sees the toll this is taking. Travis has
never dealt with this level of scrutiny before. It's tough
because we love seeing them together, but the pressure on
both of them must be immense. Travis went from being
(04:27):
a star tight end to one of the most watched
athletes in the world overnight. In exciting album news, Taylor's
heading to the Graham Norton Show. BBC announced she'll be
on the famous Red Sofa on October third, just hours
before the Life of a Showgirl drops. She'll be joined
by Killian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodi Turner Smith and Domnall Gleeson,
(04:49):
with Lewis Capaldi performing.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
This will be her first public.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Appearance and interview since announcing the album on New Heights.
Graham has a special place in Taylor's history. She's formed
and been interviewed there for Red, nineteen eighty nine, Lover, and,
most recently in twenty twenty two, for All Too Well,
the short film fun Fact. From her last appearance, Bono
said he's a swiftye and Graham asked if they'd ever collaborate.
(05:15):
Taylor said, not yet, We're going to talk about it later.
Hello Taylor, and you to collab when and speaking of
the album, that mysterious countdown on Taylor's website led to
a cardigan. The Life of a Showgirl cardigan box set
is seventy dollars and available until September nineteenth, or while
(05:35):
supplies last. It's an orange tonal Lurex cable knit with
orange glitter buttons, twelve Lurex embroidered stars on the arms,
and ts embroidered on the front. It comes in an
orange glitter gift box with the standard CD featuring twelve tracks,
collectible artwork, and an eight page booklet with never before
seen photos and lyrics. This is giving major folklore cardigan vibes,
(05:58):
but make it showgirl sparkly. The orange theme continues. This
whole era is orange, and I'm living for it. As
for wedding, Timeline sources told People on August thirty first
that Taylor and Travis are taking their time with planning
right now. They just want to enjoy being engaged, and
insider said it has been a relief not having to
(06:19):
keep it a secret anymore. Another source confirmed on September
ninth that it will be definitely a private affair and
not a spectacle. They both have a close circle of
friends and they'll respect their privacy. So all those dreams
of a massive televised wedding not happening and honestly good
for them more In a moment looking at everything this week,
(06:46):
what strikes me is the balance Tailor and Travis are
trying to maintain. The security concerns are genuinely scary. The
fact that she needs bulletproof screens and can't even sit
in her usual suite is heartbreaking, but there's still living
their lives, celebrating with friends, planning their wedding with live music.
Travis dealing with the pressure of being mister Taylor Swift
(07:08):
while she worries about him shows how much they care
for each other. They're both adjusting to this intense scrutiny
and it's not easy.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
But the fact that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
He can joke about wedding planning being easier than catching footballs,
that's the humor that probably helps them get through it.
The Graham Norton appearance is perfectly timed right before the
album drops on a show where she's always been comfortable
and authentic, and that cardigan pure genius marketing and such
a beautiful piece for fans. That's all for today's Sunday episode.
(07:39):
What do you think about the security measures? Are you
getting the cardigan? And who should perform at their wedding.
