Calarugashawk Media. Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today.
I'm your host, Ali, and we have an absolutely packed
episode today. From Taylor's surprise performance with Travis at tight
End University to viral slow dancing moments, plus updates on
that Vienna terror plot, and even a potential Taylor Swift tax.
(00:26):
There's so much to cover, let's dive right in. First up,
let's talk about the absolutely magical moment we all witnessed
at Travis's tight End University event in Nashville. Taylor made
a surprise performance appearance alongside country singer Kane Brown, where
they performed shake It Off Together, her first live performance
in six months since the arastour ended. What made it
(00:49):
even more special is that Taylor told the crowd they
decided to perform just three minutes ago. She joked, we
were up there having some drinks and we were thinking
how loud can the place get? Theoretically, how loud can
the singing be in here? After the performance, she dedicated
the song to our favorite players who are going to
play and these are the tight Ends. I'm literally melting
(01:12):
at how supportive she is, but honestly, the most swoon
worthy moment happened the night before when Taylor and Travis
were caught slow dancing to shake it off in a
crowded Nashville bar. The TikTok video went absolutely viral, and
you guys, it's the most romantic thing I've ever seen.
They're completely wrapped up in each other, mouthing the lyrics,
(01:32):
with Taylor running her hands through Travis's hair while he
keeps one arm around her waist. The comments on the
video are everything. One fan wrote, the eye contact is unbroken.
They're alone in a crowded room, and another said I've
followed Taylor Swift since forever, and this is the first
time I've seen her like this. She's so in love
and I'm so happy. Even though they're surrounded by people,
(01:55):
they look like they're in their own little world. Body
language expert Judy James analyzed the footage and had some
interesting observations. She noted that Travis was singing straight into
her face as they dance like no one is watching,
and that Taylor responds with a very exaggerated display of
approval by stroking his head. James pointed out that Taylor
(02:17):
seems to be doing the heavy lifting in terms of
showing their love and is the more focused and certain
one in the relationship. Honestly, I love that Taylor is
taking charge of their romantic moments. The couple also made
what fans are calling their red carpet debut at the
tight End University welcome party, walking hand in hand and
(02:37):
posing with George Kittle, Greg Olsen, and their wives. After
Taylor's performance, Travis showed his support with an Instagram comment saying,
turn me up, Tay, Tay, He's such a supportive boyfriend.
In some serious news, German prosecutors have announced charges against
a suspect accused of supporting the foiled plot to attack
(02:58):
Taylor's Vienna concerts last year. A young Syrian national identified
as Mohammed A is accused of helping translate bomb building
instructions from Arabic and organizing contact with an ISIS member abroad.
Three Taylor concerts in Vienna were canceled in early August
when the plot was discovered. It's a sobering reminder of
the security threats Taylor faces, but also how important international
(03:20):
cooperation is in keeping her and her fans safe. Speaking
of Taylor's properties, there's been an interesting development in Rhode Island.
The state's House Finance Committee has approved a budget that
includes what's being called the Taylor Swift Tax, a proposed
tax on non primary residences valued at more than one
million dollars if past Taylor's Rhode Island home, currently valued
(03:42):
at about twenty eight point one million dollars on Zillo,
would be taxed approximately one hundred thirty five thousand, five
hundred dollars annually. The tax would affect properties valued over
one million dollars that aren't the owner's primary residents, taxing
them at two dollars and fifty cents for each five
hundred dollars of assessed value over the million dollar mark.
(04:03):
While it might be nicknamed after Taylor, it would actually
affect many Rhode Island natives who own summer homes that
have appreciated in value over the years. The tax wouldn't
go into effect until July twenty twenty six if it passes.
More in a moment in some heartwarming friendship news, Mariska
(04:26):
Hargate appeared on Call Her Daddy and gushed about Taylor.
She recalled starring in the Bad Blood music video back
in twenty fifteen and said Taylor was just warm and
smart and kind and such a boss lady. Mariska added,
I learned so much from her. That's what I love
about her is she's so young, but she shows us
in such beautiful ways how to be fearless and a
(04:48):
boss lady. The sweetest part is that they've named their
cats after each other. Taylor named her cat Olivia Benson,
after Mariska's law and order character, and Mariska returned the
favor by naming her Karma, after Taylor's song. When Mariska
introduced Karma on Instagram, Taylor commented, are you serious? Nothing
has ever come more full circle? Love this so much, meow.
(05:13):
Let's talk about Taylor's fashion at the tight End University events.
She wore a sold out green Gingham Hunter bell crop
top and matching skirt set, accessorized with over fifty thousand
dollars worth of jewelry, including a twenty seven thousand, two
hundred and fifty dollars Cardier necklace. But what caught fashion
experts attention were her practical white sandy Leong kittenheel sandals
(05:35):
with delicate bow details. It's a departure from her usual
sky high heels. Showing she's prioritizing comfort while still looking
incredibly chic. In some fun pop culture news, The Bear
season four featured another Taylor Swift moment during a wedding scene.
Style played faintly in the background while Richie dealt with
(05:55):
family drama. This continues the show's tradition of incorporating Tapeaylor's music,
remember when Richie sang along to Love Story in his car.
The show's producer has said Taylor's team has been exceedingly
generous about clearing her songs for the show. Taylor also
made a purchase that's close to her heart. She bought
the giant inflatable Friendship bracelet beads that hung in the
(06:17):
Superdome during her New Orleans Eras tour concerts. The Louisiana
Stadium and Exposition District approved the sale, with the artist
behind the beads saying it would be fitting that the
final trade of the giant Friendship bracelet is with Taylor.
She's the reason it exists. These beads also appeared at
her Indianapolis and Canadian shows, so they're a meaningful piece
(06:37):
of Ara's tour history. And that's all for today's episode
of Taylor Swift today. What did you think about that
viral slow dancing moment? Are you excited that Taylor performed
live again? And what do you make of this potential
Taylor's Swift tax in Rhode Island. Don't forget to like,
subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an
(06:58):
update about our queen. This is Ali's signing off. Until
next time, Stay fearless, Swifties
