Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calarugashawk Media. Hey Swift, E's welcome back to Taylor Swift. Today.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's Sunday, which means it's time for our regular weekly episode.
And oh my god, what a weekend it's been. The
album has been out for three days. We've got wedding
details from Taylor's UK interviews, major Easter egg discoveries, Blake
Lively drama updates, and Taylor gave the most beautiful speech
at Selina's wedding. Plus is Taylor looking for a house
in London? And wait till you hear about the Kui
(00:33):
Trump logo controversy. This is going to be a long episode,
so settle in. First, let's talk about NPR's incredible analysis.
They identified eight major takeaways from the Life of a Showgirl.
They're calling it a return to pop that pulls no
punches while swooning over Travis. The album reunites Taylor with
Max Martin and Shellback after she spent four albums with
(00:56):
Jack Antonoff and Aaron Destner.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
She said it felt like catching life fighting in a bottle.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
NPR notes that while the goal was creating melodies so
infectious you're almost angry at it, this is still Taylor
taking shots at those who've wronged her, canceled welcomes scandal
plagued friends to her underworld. Actually Romantic is a saccharin
dis track and father Figure retails industry betrayal from the
perspective of a music executive. Now, Wedding news from Taylor's
(01:25):
UK press tour. On BBC Radio One Breakfast, Taylor told
Greg James they're planning a destination wedding. She didn't reveal where,
but she confirmed Greg will be invited. When he joked
about needing to check Travis out since he's known Taylor longer,
she laughed and said they've been friends for so long.
On Hits Radio Breakfast, they asked if Ed Sheeran will perform,
(01:46):
and Taylor said, I mean, it would be hard to
keep him from it. He's like, I'm always being asked
to sing at weddings, and you're like, Ed, if there's
a stage, you know that you'll be on it. So
Ed Sheeran basically confirmed for the Andrew Santino revealed on
Pardon My Take that Travis mentioned engagement plans back in
(02:06):
April or May when they were golfing. He's been planning
this for months. The proposal happened while they filmed the podcast.
Travis had a team set up the garden while they
were recording so he could propose immediately after. Now the
Easter eggs are insane. Fans have decoded so much. The
fate of Ophelia references Shakespeare's drowning victim and connects to
(02:28):
Travis calling for her on his podcast. The album cover,
showing Taylor half submerged, mirrors the famous Ophelia painting at Tate, Britain.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Opelite.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Travis's birthstone is opal Wood, has fans divided with its
explicit references, but some note Travis once appeared at the
Aristour in a magician outfit, connecting to certain metaphors. In
the song Canceled might be about Blake Lively, she was
the face of Gucci Premiere in twenty twelve, and the
song mentions friend's cooked in Gucci and in Scandal but Ruined.
(03:03):
The friendship that everyone thought was about Blake actually seems
to be about unrequited love and a high school crush
with a tragic ending. Speaking of Blake, she liked Taylor's
Instagram posts celebrating the album release, despite reports they aren't
speaking amid Blake's legal battle with Justin Baldoni. This tiny
gesture has fans wondering if they're mending fences or if
(03:24):
it's just public politeness. The Charlie XCX drama is real,
actually romantic reportedly contains the line about being called names
when the Cookes Got You Brave.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Fans are convinced this reference is Charlie's.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Song three sixty five, where she sings about substances. Charlie's
Sympathy is a Knife from Bratt was rumored to be
about feeling insecure when Taylor dated Mattie Healy while Charlie
was with The nineteen seventy five's Drummer wish List has
fans convinced it's about the Kardashians, the contrast between Taylor
(03:58):
wanting simple things like a driveway with a basketball hoop
versus others wanting yacht life and balenci shades. Fans specifically
interpret certain physical descriptions as referencing Kim Now For some tea,
Taylor apparently dissed Travis's ex, Kayla Nicole in Opalite. Fans
believe the line about someone being in her phone while
(04:20):
Travis felt alone references Kayla being distracted by fame. There's
apparently an old video of Travis asking Kayla to get
off your phone. Fans are calling the dig savage. Taylor
told BBC Radio One she does not plant a tour
again anytime soon. She said, I'm gonna be really honest
with you. I'm so tired when I think about doing
(04:41):
it again, because I would want to do it really,
really well again. The Heiras tour earned over two billion dollars,
the highest grossing tour ever. She said it exceeded all
their expectations and she's enjoying having hobbies again, like sour
dough baking. Here's major news. Taylor is reportedly looking for
(05:02):
a home in London. She's specifically interested in notting Hill.
Sources say she doesn't always feel safe in the US,
but has always felt embraced in the UK. This trip
is doubling as property hunting. The Insider revealed the battle
with President Trump has her exploring her options, and she
chose the UK for the album release because the energy
(05:23):
has been better after a year of being attacked by
far right trolls in the US. She's reportedly leasing three
UK residences right now for security. Two in London one
in Oxfordshire. This makes sense given the heightened security we've
seen being shuffled behind bulletproof screens at games, the terror threats,
stalker situations. The source said she'll always be US based
(05:44):
because of Travis, but Europe gave her so much joy
recording the album. Now for some drama. Kai Trump, Trump's
granddaughter launched an apparel line, and fans are furious because
her interlocking k T logo looks exactly like Travis's TK
from his True Colors line. With American Eagle, Kai's selling
(06:06):
monogram sweatshirts for one hundred and thirty dollars and used
the White House as backdrop for her advertising. Fans are
calling for lawsuits, with one writing of course you're a Trump,
so you think you can do whatever you want with
no repercussions. Neither Travis nor American Eagle have addressed it
yet more.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
In a moment.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Finally the sweetest story, Taylor gave a speech at Selena
Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding this weekend. Sources say it
was so beautiful that some guests were crying. Taylor talked
about how they've been through so much together, how they
were always there for each other's heartbreaks. She said, Selena
finally came to the realization that she was just fine
(06:50):
with who she was, and that's when she fell for Benny.
She called them a perfect pair and said she's never
seen Selena so happy. She joked that Selena beat her
to the all, but at least they both have found
the loves of their lives and the best line, it
isn't luck that they found each other, it's love.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I'm crying.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
She also said their sisters, and while Selena sees Taylor
as the big sister, Taylor sees Selena as teaching her
so much.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
This friendship is everything.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Looking at this weekend as a whole, the life of
a showgirl is complex, layered and bold. Taylor's addressing past
feuds while celebrating her love, planning a destination wedding with
Ed Sheeran performing, possibly buying property in London to escape
US political tensions, and being the best friend at Selena's wedding.
(07:38):
The album's reception has been mixed critically, but fans are obsessed.
The Easter Eggs alone will keep us analyzing for months,
from Shakespeare references to Birthstone titles to celebrity callouts.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
This is Pete Taylor.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The fact that Blake liked her post despite their reported rift,
that she's considering more time in the UK, that she's
exhausted from touring but created this album during the tour.
It all shows how complex her life is right now.
