Calarugashawk Media.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,
and We've got some juicy stories to dive into this week.
From friendship drama updates, to legal developments, chart milestones, and
even a billionaire status check. There's so much Taylor news
to cover, let's get right into it.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
First.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Up, let's talk about the Blake Lively situation that we
touched on in a previous episode. Remember how Taylor was
mentioned in that messy legal battle between Blake and Justin
Baldoni over the It Ends with Us movie.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, there's an update.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
According to sources, Taylor and Blake's friendship is on the
mend after some tension. Apparently Taylor was really hurt after
being implicated in Blake's legal battle, especially after being referred
to as one of Blake's dragons and text messages that
came out during the lawsuit. If you need a refresher,
Baldoni claimed and his complaint that Swift had pressured him
(01:02):
to accept rewrites on the movie, and there was even
a meeting at Blake and Ryan's penthouse where Taylor allegedly
praised Blake's script changes.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The latest twist.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
There are reports that Taylor could actually be among those
served with subpoenas in the case. But despite all this drama,
an insider says that Blake knew she and Taylor would
come back from this at some point, and that their
friendship wasn't done for good.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
The source added.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That Taylor is relieved they were able to recover from
this and put it all behind them, because it wasn't
something she took lightly. If you've been following this story,
you'll know that Taylor's song My Tears Ricochet was used
in the movie and its trailer, and don't forget that
Taylor is godmother to all four of Blake and Ryan's children, James, Ainez, Betty,
(01:45):
and Olan. The trial for this whole legal mess is
scheduled for March twenty twenty six, so we'll be waiting
a while to see how it all plays out. There's
even more to this story. At the recent Time one
hundred gala, Megan Kelly critics sized Blake's inclusion on Time's
Most Influential People list, saying she's only here because she's
(02:05):
a celebrity. Kelly also referenced the dragon comment, saying either Taylor,
Swift is her dragon or she isn't. I don't know,
and suggested that if she were Taylor, she would speak
out about it. Kelly claimed Taylor is obviously distancing herself
from the situation.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Out In even.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
More developments, there are reports that not only Taylor, but
also Hugh Jackman could potentially be served subpoenas as part
of this ongoing legal battle. Back in February, Baldoni's lawyer
said on a podcast that they might depose Taylor, calling
it probably a game time decision, but emphasized that anyone
that reasonably has information that can provide evidence in this
(02:46):
case is going to be deposed. While neither Taylor nor
Hugh are directly involved in the lawsuits, a subpoena could
require them to participate in legal proceedings. Jackman hasn't been
mentioned in the lawsuits, but we all know he's close
with Blake and Ryan. Remember when we talked about them
all hanging out at NFL games together to support Taylor
and Travis.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Speaking of legal matters, let's take a moment to discuss
that ongoing copyright infringement case we mentioned in.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Our last episode.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Remember Florida artist Kimberly Morasco, who's suing Taylor, Jack Antonoff,
Aaron Desner and others. Well, we're still waiting on developments there.
It's quite a year for Taylor and legal issues, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
On a much more.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Positive note, Taylor's album The Tortured Poets Department has now
spent a full year on the Official Album's Chart in
the United Kingdom. The album has reached fifty two weeks
on both the Official Album's Chart and the Official Albums
Streaming Ranking. What's even more impressive is that this is
Taylor's twelfth title to spend at least fifty two weeks
(03:51):
on the Official Album's chart. Can you believe that her
staying power is absolutely unmatched? Remember Joe Jonas well, there's
a funny story about him that's making the rounds online.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Joe posted a TikTok.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Of himself walking around London in a suit, and a
fan commented with the lyrics so dignified in his well
pressed suit from Taylor's song mister Perfectly Fine, which is
widely believed to be about Jonas. Joe replied, thanks for noticing,
which has fans wondering if he's acknowledging the connection, or
if he's oblivious to it. For those who might not
(04:25):
remember the backstory, Taylor and Joe dated briefly in two
thousand and eight, and he famously broke up with her
in a twenty five second phone call when she was eighteen.
Mister Perfectly Fine was released as a vault track on
Fearless Taylor's version in twenty twenty one, but was written
back in two thousand and eight. The lyrics include lines
like hello, mister casually cruel, Mister everything revolves around you. Interestingly,
(04:51):
Joe's ex wife, Sophie Turner even wore a Mister Perfectly
Fine Friendship bracelet to the Eiras tour, so there's almost
no chance Joe doesn't know about the song. Taylor and
Sophie have remained friendly, with Taylor even letting Sophie stay
at her New York City home during Sophie and Joe's
divorce last year. In other award news, after taking a
two year hiatus, the American Music Awards are back on
(05:14):
May twenty sixth, and Taylor is up for six nominations.
The categories include Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Pop Artist,
Album of the Year, Favorite Pop Album, Collaboration of the Year,
and Favorite touring Artist. In twenty twenty two, Taylor became
the most decorated artist in AMA's history, and she has
an amazing eighty two percent win rate at the show.
(05:36):
Out of forty nine past nominations, she's won forty awards.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
More in a moment in billionaire news. Yes, that's a
phrase I get to use when talking about Taylor. Our
girl has been dethroned as the youngest self made woman
billionaire in the world. That title now belongs to Lucy Guoh,
the thirty year old co founder of Scale AI. But
(06:04):
don't worry, Taylor is still doing just fine with her
estimated one point six billion dollar net worth, which puts
her ahead of Rihanna, who has a one point four
billion dollar networth. Forbes reported last October that Taylor's earnings
from The Era's tour and the value of her music
catalog made her a billionaire, and she was the first
musician to reach that rank primarily based on songs and
(06:26):
live performances rather than business ventures. Her fortune includes six
hundred million from touring and royalties, six hundred million from
her catalog, and one hundred twenty five million in real estate. Finally,
there's been some online speculation about Taylor and Travis's relationship
possibly being fodder for her next album. Some fans are
wondering if this high profile romance might eventually lead to
(06:49):
another heartbreak inspired era, possibly even a spiritual sequel to Reputation.
Of course, this is all just fan theories, but it's
interesting how some people are analyzing their very public courtship
with all the PDA NFL appearances and instagram worthy date nights,
as potential storytelling groundwork. One Reddit user even wrote that
(07:10):
it feels too glossy, like she's building something theatrical, just
like before Reputation dropped. While some fans are hoping for
a happly ever after for Taylor and Travis, others are
pointing out that many of Taylor's most successful albums were
born out of romantic turmoil from Red to nineteen eighty nine,
and even folklore. Whether their story ends in wedding bells
(07:31):
or chart topping breakup ballads, they're definitely capturing the public's
imagination like no other couple. And that's all for today's
episode of Taylor Swift Today, what do you think about
Taylor and Blake patching things up. Are you surprised that
Taylor might actually be subpoened in the lawsuit? And do
you think Joe Jonas knows that mister Perfectly Fine is
(07:52):
about him?
