Hey Swifties, welcome back to Taylor Swift today. I'm your host, Ali,
and wow, do we have a lot to catch up
on since we were off last week. Travis just went
Instagram official with Taylor in the most adorable way possible.
There's drama with Matti Heey's mom throwing shade, Blake Lively
is apparently being frozen out of friend groups, and there
(00:29):
are even some TS twelve theories swirling. Plus we've got
updates on that Vienna terror plot and some exciting news
about wax figures and documentaries. Let's dive right in first up,
and this is honestly the sweetest thing ever. Travis Kelcey
finally went Instagram official with Taylor Swift on July twenty fourth.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
He posted a carousel of photos.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
From his NFL off season with the caption had some
adventures this off season, kept it and you guys, the
photos are absolutely adorable. The main photo shows them in
matching all white outfits wearing coordinating baseball caps. Traviss says
captain while Taylor says first mate. I'm literally melting at
(01:12):
how cute and nautical theme this is. It's giving major
couple goals vibes, and fans are calling it the hard
launch of all hard launches because this is Travis's first
actual Instagram post featuring Taylor after almost two years of dating.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
The photo dump included shots from what appears to be
There's snowy Montana trip back in March, you know, the
one we talked about with Aaron Andrews at the Yellowstone Club.
There's this adorable picture where Taylor has her arm out
grinning at the camera while Travis leans on her shoulder
pretending to kick the lens. They look so playful and
happy together. What really got my heart, though, were the
(01:50):
photos of Travis bonding with Taylor's brother, Austin Swift.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
There are several shots of them fishing and.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Enjoying scenic views in the woods, with Jason Kelce making
a case wearing what Travis described as a legendary straw hat.
This really shows how integrated Travis has become with Taylor's family.
Remember how we've talked about family being so important to
both of them, Well, here's proof that Travis and Austin
have developed their own friendships. Travis also included group photos
(02:17):
with Taylor and their friends, including Ross Travis, es to
Hame from the band him and Ashley Avignone. It's so
nice to see them hanging out with mutual friends and
building these shared social circles.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Es to Ham being in the photos.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Is particularly sweet since Hame opened for Taylor on some
of her tours.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now here's where it gets really interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
One photo shows Travis and Taylor at a restaurant and
his phone's lock screen is visible in the shot.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
The lock screen shows a photo.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Of him and Taylor, with Taylor holding up what appears
to be a specific number of fingers, and the time
on the phone reads eleven twenty four. Naturally, swifties are
going crazy with theories. Shark tanks Barbara Corkran even commented
with detective emojis, and fans are speculating that this could
be hinting at TS twelve dropping on November twenty fourth.
(03:08):
One fan commented, it's literally the photo with Jack for
Ts eleven people TS twelfth eleven twenty fourth, referring to
how Taylor and Jack Antonoff used to hold up fingers
in photos before album announcements. I mean, we know Taylor
loves her Easter eggs, so this could definitely be intentional.
Travis also talked about their relationship on the Bustin with
(03:31):
the Boys podcast, saying, that's my girl, you know what
I mean, That's my lady.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So it's like, I'm proud of that.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
The way he talks about her with such genuine pride
and affection is honestly so sweet. He's not trying to
downplay the relationship or keep it low key. He's genuinely
proud to be with her. Now, let's talk about some
drama that happened while we were off. Matti Healy's mom,
Denise Welch, appeared on Watch What Happens and through some
(03:59):
serious shade at Taylor. When Andy Cohen asked about the
Tortured Poets Department and Taylor's brief romance with her son,
Denise said, not being her mother in law is a
role that I'm glad that I lost. The audience literally gasped,
and then she doubled down. She said, she listen, You're
not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a
(04:20):
whole album about it.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Excuse me? What?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
First of all, Taylor is absolutely allowed to write about
her own experiences and feelings. That's literally what songwriters do,
and second, Mattie dated her for like a month, she
didn't write a whole album about him.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Denise did try to backtrack a little, saying.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
She doesn't have anything against her at all and that
it was just tricky. She also mentioned that Mattie is
very happy with his amazing fiance Gabriella referring to Gabrielle Bechtel,
and that they've moved on. But honestly, the damage was done.
The whole thing came across as unnecessarily petty, especially since
Taylor and Mattie's relationship was so brief.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
And happened over a year ago.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
What's interesting is that Denise claimed Maddie took the aftermath
of ttpd all in good grace, but then she goes
on TV to throw shade. That doesn't seem very graceful
to me. It honestly just makes Taylor look even better
by comparison. She's moved on, she's happy with Travis, and
she's not out here talking negatively about her ex's families
on television. Speaking of relationship drama, there's been some major
(05:26):
tea about Blake Lively being frozen out of Taylor's friend group.
According to Rob Shooter's number Shooter Scoop Blake was deliberately
cut from Selena Gomez's thirty third birthday party guest list,
and it was personal, all because of the ongoing tension
with Taylor. An insider said this wasn't some innocent oversight,
it was personal. The source explained that Taylor's famously tight
(05:49):
inner circle appears to have closed ranks and Blake's officially out.
While Selena's disco themed party featured fur trimmed coats, glittering gowns,
and Taylors shining like a human mirror ball, Blake was
nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But it's not just Selena.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Blake has also reportedly been missing from recent hangouts with
Gigi Hadid, another core member of the Swift squad. As
we've discussed in previous episodes, this all ties back to
the It Ends with Us legal battle, where Blake allegedly
tried to leverage Taylor during behind the scenes negotiations leading
to that subpoena drama. The source said Swift has allegedly
(06:26):
stopped responding to Blake's messages and even reportedly feels relieved
the friendship is over. That's honestly so sad because we've
covered their friendship for years, from the matching outfits to
the Rhode Island Fourth of July parties, to Blake's kids
being featured in Taylor's music, But it sounds like the
legal drama and the feeling that Blake was using Taylor's
(06:46):
name for leverage was just too much. According to reports,
Blake is focusing on family and leaning on Ryan Reynolds
and her sister Robin as the legal case drags on.
Whether this is just a cooling off period or a
permit an end to their friendship remains to be seen,
but right now it's looking pretty final. In some closure
(07:06):
on a story we've been following, there was an update
on the Vienna terror plot from last year. An Austrian
court convicted an eighteen year old acquaintance of the main
suspect on terrorism charges unrelated to the actual Swift concert plot.
The defendant, identified only as Luca Kay, was sentenced to
two years in prison for involvement with a terrorist organization
and sharing Isis propaganda. What's notable is that he converted
(07:30):
to Islam in twenty twenty two and was arrested shortly
before the planned Swift concerts but wasn't charged with direct
involvement in the plot against Taylor. The defendant admitted to
his actions and said he now sees them as a mistake,
adding I have had a daughter now I see life
more seriously.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's a reminder of how serious.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
These security threats are and how they can affect real
people's lives more in a moment. Now for some exciting news,
Channel four in the UK has officially announced they're making
a Taylor Swift documentary series.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The two part series, with the.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Working title Taylor, will explore her twenty year career and
examine how she transcended from popstar to cultural icon. They're
promising rare archive footage and interviews with high profile commentators,
industry insiders and fans. Director Guy King said Taylor Swift
is an unprecedentedly powerful twenty first century voice for women
(08:31):
and young people under the microscope of social media since
the earliest days of MySpace and Tumblr. She came of
age during a new feminist wave. With her fame came controversy,
which she so skillfully wrestled to the floor. This sounds
like it could be really comprehensive and insightful, and speaking
of exciting Taylor News Madame Tussaud's just unveiled thirteen New
(08:53):
Taylor swift wax figures across thirteen cities on four continents.
This is apparently the large multifigure launch in their two
hundred and fifty year history. The figures represent iconic looks
from the Aras Tour, with each city getting a different era.
Hollywood gets the speak Now figure in that gorgeous Lilac
Nicole plus Felicia ballgown. Las Vegas has the Fearless figure
(09:16):
in the gold fringed Roberto Cavali dress. New York has
the Midnight's figure with the multicolored tinsel jacket. Orlando gets
the Reputation figure in the black sequined katsuit with red
snake details, and Nashville has the Evermore figure in that
beautiful mustard metro dress. It took over forty artists fourteen
months to create these figures, and they've recreated the actual
(09:38):
designer pieces. Roberto Cavali and the other designers specially recreated
their pieces for the wax figures, which is incredible attention
to detail. The goal is to make guests feel as
if they've stepped on stage at Taylor Swift's the airas
tour and honestly, from the photos they've released, they look amazing.
Let's also talk about Scooter Braun, who recently appeared on
(10:01):
a podcast to address the ongoing hate he receives from Swifties.
He said, my response to that is they made the
horrible miscalculation that I care.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You know, I don't know those people out there.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
He claimed that the angry fans represent less than one
percent of a fan base that big, and suggested people
focus on being kind instead of celebrity fodder. Interestingly, Scooter
said he believes everybody in the end one from the
Master's situation. He explained that when Taylor announced she was
going to do re recordings, it actually increased the value
(10:32):
of the original Masters because of streaming patterns. He said,
all ships rise in a world of streaming, and noted
that each time Taylor released a re recording, there was
a spike in the original catalog. What's particularly noteworthy is
that this interview was filmed in April, before it was
announced that Taylor had bought back her Masters from Shamrock Capital,
(10:55):
So Scooter was saying everyone won, without even knowing that
Taylor would soon own everything again. Taylor's response to finally
owning her work was so different. She said, this was
a business deal to them, but I really felt like
they saw it for what was to me, my memories
and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams.
The contrast between their perspectives really says everything. For Scooter,
(11:19):
it was about business and financial returns. For Taylor, it
was about her art, her memories, and her life's work.
That's why his acquisition of her masters felt so violating
to her, and why getting them back was so emotionally significant.
Looking at all these stories together, what really strikes me
is how Taylor seems.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
To be in such a good place right now.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
She's got Travis proudly posting about their relationship, She's building
strong bonds with his family, she owns all her music again,
and she's apparently removing toxic people from her life who
were using her for leverage. The Blake Lively situation, while sad,
might actually be healthier for Taylor in the long run.
If Blake really he was trying to use Taylor's name
(12:01):
and influence for her own legal battles, then stepping away
from that friendship was probably necessary. Taylor's learned to protect
herself and her piece, which is so important, and Travis
going Instagram official feels like such a milestone. After almost
two years together, He's ready to share their happiness with
the world in his own way.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The photos show.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Them as this genuinely happy, playful couple who are building
a life together. From matching captain hats to family fishing
trips to hanging out with mutual friends.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
They're doing all the things that real couples do.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Plus, if those TS twelve theories are right, and Taylor
really is hinting at November twenty fourth for her next album,
that would be amazing. We've been wondering when she might
release new music and having Travis inadvertently tease it through
his phone log screen would be such a tailor thing
to do. And that's all for today's catch up episode
of Taylor's Swift Today, what do you think about Travis
(12:54):
finally going Instagram official? Are you shocked by Mattie Healy's
mom's comments. Don't forget to like, subscribe and turn on
notifications so you never miss an update.
