Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,
and we have some seriously intense updates in today's episode.
From a stalker situation that required a restraining order, to
potential secret wedding rumors, and even political drama involving Governor Newsom.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
There's so much to unpack, let's dive right in.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
First up, we need to address some concerning news about
Taylor's safety. She's been granted a temporary restraining order against
an alleged stalker named Brian Jason Wagner from Colorado. According
to court filings, this man has been visiting Taylor's Los
Angeles home repeatedly since July twenty twenty four, continuing through
May of this year. What makes this particularly disturbing is
(00:49):
that Wagner allegedly made completely delusional statements during these visits.
Taylor said in her court filing that he claimed he
was living at my property, being in a relationship with me,
and believe that Taylor is the mother of his son,
all of which are obviously completely untrue and, as Taylor
put it, disconnected from reality. On one occasion, he allegedly
(01:12):
held a glass bottle that could have been used as
a weapon, which understandably made Taylor fear for my safety
and the safety of my family. The restraining order requires
Wagner to stay at least one hundred yards away from Taylor,
and there will be a hearing on June thirtieth for
a potentially more permanent order. This is, unfortunately not Taylor's
first experience with stalkers. The situation really highlights how serious
(01:36):
these threats can be for celebrities. Back in twenty seventeen,
someone entered her Tribeca apartment building after making dozens of
calls to her management. In twenty eighteen, a man broke
into her home, used her shower, and slept in her bed.
He was jailed for nine months. The same year, another
person was arrested after traveling over one thousand miles to
(01:58):
her home with ammunition, a knife, rope, and gloves in
his car. It's absolutely terrifying that she has to deal
with this level of obsession and threat to her safety.
Now onto some much lighter and more exciting news. Are
Taylor and Travis secretly married? Okay, probably not, but fans
are freaking out over a potential clue event. Planner Ellie
(02:20):
Nottolei shared details about Chicago Bears player Cole Comet's wedding
on her Instagram story, and eagle eyed fans spotted something interesting.
As Nottolli showed off the wedding designs, her camera lingered
over an envelope addressed to Taylor and Travis kelce Notice
no Swift in there. The envelope was for table thirteen,
Taylor's lucky number, of course, and it was addressed simply
(02:42):
as if they shared the same last name. Nottolei explained
that Taylor and Travis couldn't attend because they were at
Travis's cousin's wedding in Tennessee on June sixth. Fans immediately
started speculating with comments like Taylor and Travis kelcey, excuse me,
and they got married. Of course, there could be plenty
(03:03):
of other explanations for why the bride might have addressed
it that way, but it's fun to dream. As we've
discussed in previous episodes, sources have been saying that engagement
is definitely in the cards, with insiders claiming it will
one hundred percent happen once Travis is done playing football.
Speaking of that ongoing Blake Lively drama we've been following.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
There's been a major development.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
A judge has dismissed Justin Baldoni's four hundred million dollar
defamation and extortion lawsuit against Blake. This is huge news
in that legal battle we've been covering for months. Blake
has reportedly been leaning heavily on her family during this
challenging time, particularly her niece Kate Johnson, who's been a
constant source of support. Kate accompanied Blake to a high
(03:46):
profile event recently, and they looked strikingly similar with matching
outfits and hairstyles. It's sweet to see Blake has that
family support system. Unfortunately, the situation with Taylor seems to
still be strained. Are claiming that Blake has been desperately
trying to reconnect with Swift, who has reportedly been keeping
her at arm's length, effectively ghosting her. This aligns with
(04:09):
everything we discussed in previous episodes about how the subpoena
and legal drama damaged their friendship. According to Insiders, the
trust between the two women has been irreparably harmed. It
sounds like Taylor is focusing on her more grounded relationships.
Instead spending time with people like Dakota Johnson, Selena Gomez
and Kara delaving Nay. Remember those cute girls' nights we
(04:30):
talked about last episode. It seems like Taylor is being
really intentional about who she surrounds herself with right now.
In much more fun news, Taylor just dropped her summer
twenty twenty five merch collection and it's giving major New
England prep vibes. The whole line has this old money aesthetic,
with tote bags featuring crests, Oxford shirts, polos, and camping
(04:51):
inspired pieces.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's so chic.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
One of my favorite pieces is a loosely knit sweater
with nineteen eighty nine embroidered on the chest for SAI
sixty five dollars. There's also a boxy t shirt for
forty dollars with blue seagulls and the text cherry Lips
Crystal Skies, a reference to Blank Space. She's got nods
to other albums too, including a terry cloth polo with
the Last Great American Dynasty written on it above the
(05:17):
Folklore cabin. The Evermore representation includes a cowboy like knee
baseball hat with a horse stitched into it, and her
birth year nineteen eighty nine, plus lyrics from the song.
There's even a beach towel with a checkerboard design and
text referencing Miss Americana and the heartbreak prints from Lover.
The whole collection just screams sophisticated summer vibes. Now for
(05:40):
some unexpected political tea, California Governor Gavin Newsom trolled President
Trump using Taylor's song You Need to Calm Down in
an Instagram video. The ten second video showed Newsom and
Trump together while playing key lines from the song about
saying things in the street versus in a tweet, clearly
referencing Trump's social media habits. The video featured a truth
(06:03):
social post where Trump called Newsom news come and threatened
federal intervention in California. Newsom captioned his post America's Keyboard Warrior,
which is honestly pretty clever. The whole thing stemmed from
their ongoing feud over immigration enforcement and National Guard deployment.
It's wild to see Taylor's music being used in political commentary,
(06:24):
but the song choice was definitely on point. We've also
got some adorable celebrity family content. George Clooney was at
the Tony Awards and revealed that his eight year old
twins are big Taylor Swift fans. He told E News
that while his kids have no idea who his famous
friends are, even when Robert de Niro is at their house,
they definitely want to see Taylor Swift. He said, they
(06:47):
want to see Taylor Swift. The funniest part is that
they have no idea of references. Robert de Niro will
be at the house and they're like, who's that? They
don't care. That's hilarious and so relatable for parents everywhere.
More in a moment. Speaking of people reflecting on Taylor,
(07:10):
Scooter Braun recently did an interview on the Diary of
a CEO podcast where he talked about buying Big Machine
Records back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He admitted he was pretty naive.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
About how Taylor would react, saying he thought they would
work together and have an exciting collaboration. Braun said he
knew Taylor didn't get along with Kanye West and Justin Bieber,
who he managed, but his arrogance made him think that
once the deal was announced, Taylor would talk to me,
see who I am, and we would work together.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Obviously, that's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Instead, Taylor wrote that legendary Tumblr post calling his actions
incessant manipulative bullying. Interestingly, Braun now says he views that
whole experience as a gift because it taught him empathy
and showed him what it's like to face global criticism.
He said, it made him realize that all the praise
I had received up until that moment was not deserved,
(08:04):
and all the hate I got after that moment was
not deserved because none of these people knew me. It's
fascinating to hear his perspective after all this time, especially
now that Taylor has successfully bought back her Master's and
the whole saga has come full circle. As we discussed
last episode, those streaming numbers after Taylor got her catalog
back were absolutely incredible, proving that her strategy worked perfectly.
(08:30):
And that's all for today's episode of Taylor Swift Today.
What do you think about those potential secret wedding clues?
Are you loving Taylor's new preppy summer merch collection? And
how do you feel about Scooter Braun's reflections on the
whole masters situation. Don't forget to like, subscribe and turn
