Hey Swifties, welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,
and I'm literally shaking with some of the news we
have to cover today. From house hunting in Cleveland, Yes
you heard that right, to some absolutely disgusting AI deep
fake drama that has me seeing read.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
We've got a lot to unpack.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Plus Selena's spilling tea about their sixteen year friendship, and
Andy Reid has some stories he can't tell at a wedding.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Let's dive in.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Okay, first up, and this is giving major next chapter vibes.
Taylor and Travis were spotted house hunting in Cleveland. According
to local news, they toured at least two opulent homes
in the Tony suburbs, and we're seen having lunch in
Chagrin Falls.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I'm literally screaming.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Now, before you panic about Taylor leaving Nashville or New York,
remember that Cleveland is Travis's hometown. He was born and
raised in Cleveland, High so this could be them getting
a place near his roots. The suburbs they were looking
at have what locals call stealth wealth and old money.
Barry Taylor's style of privacy and elegance. What's really interesting
(01:13):
is that some fans are speculating this means Travis might
retire after this season, but he literally shut that down
at training camp, telling reporters ask me that when I retire.
Andy Reid even said Travis looks like he's twenty years
old right now, so maybe this is just them expanding
their real estate portfolio. Remember, Taylor's already renovating her Rhode
(01:33):
Island house with an extra bedroom and enlarged suite.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Things are definitely progressing.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Speaking of Travis and family, there was some sad news
this week. Travis couldn't attend the funeral for his dad,
Ed's girlfriend Maureen Maguire because of Chief's training camp. Jason
and Kylie were there supporting Ed, but Travis had to
be in Missouri. It's these tough moments that remind us
these are real people with real family obligations, not just
our favorite celebrity couple.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But let's talk about something way more fun.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Andy Reid's Spilling Tea, the Chief's coach, was asked what
stories he'd tell at a hypothetical Taylor Travis wedding, and
you guys, he said, there are a few.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I can't tell. I'm dying to know what those are.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Reid also revealed that he knew Taylor before Travis did
because her parents are from the Philadelphia area and her dad, Scott,
is a huge football fan. He called Taylor arguably the
most famous woman in the world since the Queen passed away,
and said she handles it the right way. The way
he talks about both of them with such respect and
affection is honestly so sweet. And get this, Reid owns
(02:39):
Taylor's Red album, of course he does.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
He also completely shut.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Down any haters saying Taylor's a distraction, saying they handle
it the right way and there's absolutely no distraction.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
We love a supportive coach.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Now, let's address something that has me absolutely furious. Elon
Musk's grock AI has a spicy mode that's creating inappropriate
deep fakes of female celebrities, including Taylor. The Verge tested
it and without even prompting for nudity, it generated images
of Taylor that I won't even describe.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
This is disgusting and potentially illegal.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
What makes me even angrier is that while it would
only show male celebrities shirtless, it specifically targets women for exploitation.
Taylor's already dealt with AI deep fake harassment before, and
now Musk is making it easier for creeps to do
this to any woman. Some outlets are literally calling for
Taylor to take legal action, and honestly, I hope she does.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
This needs to stop.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
On a much happier note, Selena Gomez just gave the
sweetest interview about her friendship with Taylor. She revealed they
met when she was fifteen and Taylor was eighteen, both
dating Jonas brothers at the time. Selena said, the best
thing we got out of those relationships was each other.
How beautiful is that they bonded over their breakups and
have been best friends for sixteen years. Selena also remembered
(04:00):
Taylor playing her Love Story before it was released, calling
it one of the most beautiful songs ever. Their friendship
has survived everything, different relationships, career ups and downs, and
now they're both in happy relationships with Benny and Travis.
This is giving major soulmate friendship energy. In career news,
(04:20):
there's been an update on Taylor's directorial debut. Alice Birch,
who worked on Succession and Normal People, has been brought
in to rewrite Taylor's script now before anyone panics, this
is totally normal in Hollywood. The report says she's working
closely with Taylor and tailoring it to her creative vision.
Progress is being made slowly but surely, which honestly sounds
(04:42):
perfect for Taylor's attention to detail. Also, Taylor just scored
another VMA nomination for Artist of the Year. She's up
against Bad Bunny, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Morgan Wallen, The Weekend,
and Lady Gaga. Remember last year she won seven VMAs
and thanked Travis in her speech. She has thirty VMA's
total now, a record. The show's on September seventh, and
(05:05):
I cannot wait to see what she wears more in
a moment. Now, I hate even giving this attention, but
Trump posted about Taylor on truth Social again. He claimed
she was booed out of the super Bowl, which literally
never happened, and said she's no longer hot because she's woke.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I can't even with this man.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Taylor's more successful than ever, happier than ever, and definitely
wasn't booed at any super Bowl. This is giving desperate
and delusional. Finally, machine Gun Kelly shared a cute story
about talking to Taylor at the Super Bowl when the
Eagles were beating the Chiefs. He asked if they were
still coming to watch him perform, and Taylor was like,
(05:51):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'll see if I can get him out, but I
don't think so. It's these little human moments that remind
us Taylor's just a supportive girlfriend trying to comfort her
man after a tough loss.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Looking at all.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Today's stories, what strikes me is how Taylor continues to
thrive despite the constant attacks and invasions of privacy. She's
building a future with Travis, maintaining decades long friendships, pursuing
her film directing dreams, and still dominating awards shows without
releasing new music this year. The AI deep fake situation
is seriously concerning, though, and I hope she takes action.
(06:27):
No one should have to deal with that violation, celebrity
or not, but knowing Taylor, she'll handle it with grace
while still protecting herself and others. That's all for today's
episode of Taylor Swift Today. What do you think about
the Cleveland house hunting? Are you as disgusted as I am?
About the AI situation and how sweet was Selena's interview.
(06:47):
This is Ali reminding you to stay safe online and
report any inappropriate content you see.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Stay fearless, Swifties
