Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey Swifties, welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your host, Ali,
and we are deep in the engagement era with some
major developments from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell basically confirming what
we've all been manifesting to Travis getting giddy talking about
his fiance on New Heights. Plus a heartwarming story that
will make you cry about teenage Taylor that just surfaced.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
We have so much to unpack today, let's jump right in.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Okay, First up, the super Bowl halftime show speculation just
got real. Roger Goodell was on The Today Show with
Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday, and when she asked about Taylor
performing at Super Bowl sixty, his response was very telling.
He said, we would always love to have Taylor play.
She is a special, special talent and obviously she would
(00:56):
be welcome at any time. When Savannah pressed him asking
is it in the works, Goodell got alcoy saying I
can't tell you anything about it. But then, and this
is the kicker, when she asked, is it a maybe?
He said, it's a maybe, you guys, that's basically a
yes in NFL speak. He also said it's in jay
Z's hands since Rock Nation produces the halftime shows, joking,
(01:19):
I'm waiting for the smoke to come out. The fact
that he's actively waiting to hear that tells me conversations
are happening. Remember all those sourdough theories we talked about,
the sixty percent of the time comment matching Super Bowl sixty,
the forty seven seconds matching the forty seventh Eras Tour
show at Levi Stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Swifty's were right. This is actually happening.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Can you imagine Taylor performing at the Super Bowl as
Travis's fiance or maybe even as his wife?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
By then, I'm getting chills.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Now, let's talk about Travis on the latest New Heights episode,
because he is absolutely glowing about this engagement. Jason kicked
it off saying, in case you missed the Instagram post
around the world, Travis and Taylor are engaged. Yay. Travis
thanked everyone for reaching out and said it's been really
fun telling everybody who I'm going to be spending the
(02:10):
rest of my life with the rest.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Of his life. He's not playing around here.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
He called being engaged to Taylor exciting and awesome, and
then shared this adorable detail about their Cincinnati game appearance.
It was my first time introducing Taylor as my fiance
to a few of my teammates, so yeah, it was
pretty cool. And then Jason asked him, don't you get
giddy saying it? And Travis admitted, yeah, I do. I
(02:35):
still get giddy exciting times.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The man is.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Giddy after almost two years together, he's still getting butterflies
introducing her as his fiance. If that's not true love,
I don't know what is.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I need to share this absolutely beautiful story that just
came out about teenage Taylor that's going to make you
sob WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett just did an
interview with tmzsp revealing he's known Taylor since she was
a little girl, and she actually babysat his daughter's.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But here's the part that destroyed me.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It was Christmas two thousand and six and Jeff's first wife, Jill,
was dying of breast cancer. She passed away about five
months later, so she was really ill. A friend suggested
Taylor stop by their home, and Jeff's daughters were huge
Taylor fans. She'd just released Tim McGraw and her debut album.
Taylor showed up without her guitar initially, but when she
(03:29):
realized the girls wanted her to sing, she literally ran
home to get it. What started as seven people turned
into about forty five people, and Taylor played for three hours.
Jeff said she kind of bonded with the family, specifically
with the girls, but it gets even more touching. After
his wife passed away, Taylor would come around and was
(03:50):
really good with the girls. There are photos of Taylor
with the family at the beach at their home with
the kids at a keyboard. This was before she was
a global superstar. She was just a teenager from Hendersonville, Tennessee,
using her gift to bring joy to a grieving family.
Jeff got emotional talking about it, saying, what a very
cool relationship that developed. The fact that Taylor maintained that
(04:11):
relationship after his wife passed, continuing.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
To support those girls.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That's the tailor we know and love, using her talents
to heal and comfort others, even as a teenager. In
current Friendship News, Taylor was just spotted celebrating Brittany Mahomes's
thirtieth birthday at a restaurant in Nashville. She wore a
plunging black top with spaghetti straps and was sitting outside
with the birthday girl, Lindsay Bell, whose husband is Chief's
(04:37):
tight end Blake. Bell shared photos of their celebration, which
included a private jet ride with orange and pink balloons.
Brittany has been so supportive of the engagement, posting two
of the most genuine people meet and fall in love.
Just so happy for these two. The Chief's Wag friendship
is still going strong despite all those political difference rumors.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Love really does conquer all.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Well, let's talk about Taylor's jewelry game, because it's been
incredible lately. At Brittany's birthday dinner, Taylor was wearing her
custom Lorraine Schwartz ruby t necklace that she debuted at
the twenty twenty five Grammys as a thigh chain. Yes,
you heard that right, It was originally a thigh grazing
chain that she's now wearing as a necklace. The ruby
(05:20):
studded piece has dainty rose gold chains with a tea
charm that stands for both Taylor and Travis. She also
wore matching ruby drop earrings and a reputation Codd snake
necklace from Jackie ash that retails for eleven four hundred
twenty five dollars. The snake necklace has diamond encrusted closure,
very fitting for this new era. What's amazing is Taylor
(05:42):
has owned this ruby T necklace since February twenty twenty five,
when she collaborated with Schwartz for the Grammys. She wore
it to the Super Bowl as a good luck charm,
and now it's become her signature engagement era accessory. Remember
in reputation when she sang, I want to wear his
initial on a chain around my neck. She literally manifested this.
(06:03):
The necklace originally made headlines as part of her seventy
five Caret Grammy look, and now it's become this beautiful
symbol of her relationship with Travis. I wouldn't be surprised
if it makes an appearance at their wedding somehow more
in a moment. In the most full circle news ever,
(06:28):
Jan Ravnik, one of Taylor's beloved Aires tour backup dancers,
just joined season thirty four of Dancing with the Stars.
He's been paired with Jen Affleck from the Secret Lives
of Mormon Wives. Jan said in his announcement, I traveled
all around the world with ARIS tour, and now I'm
coming to the ballroom stage for Dancing with the Stars.
(06:48):
Mirror Ball never goes out of style and we are
ready to win it. The mirror Ball reference genius. In
December twenty twenty four, Jan posted this beautiful tribute to Taylor,
saying thank you to Taylor for setting a bar so
high it made every one of us rise to the challenge.
We've created memories, We've shared laughs and tears along the way.
(07:08):
I am not the same person I was two years ago,
and I can easily say these were the best years
of my life. Swifties are already saying this will be
the highest viewed season premiere of DWTS. Ever, We're definitely
all tuning in to support Jan after watching him kill
it on the Ara's tour for two years. Taylor's impact
extends to everyone who works with her.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
She literally changes lives.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Looking at all these stories together, what strikes me is
how Taylor's influence just keeps expanding, from potentially headlining the
Super Bowl to having her backup dancers become TV stars,
from Travis getting giddy about calling her his fiance, to
stories emerging about her teenage kindness. She's not just a
pop star, She's a cultural phenomenon who uses her platform
(07:53):
to lift others up. The Jeff Jarrett story especially shows
who Taylor has always been at her core. A teenage
girl who heard about a dying mother and her daughters
who loved her music, and she spent three hours of
her Christmas playing for them, then continuing to support those
girls after their mom passed. That's character, That's who Travis
is marrying, That's who we're all supporting. And now, with
(08:15):
the Super Bowl halftime show looking more and more likely,
we could be heading toward the ultimate Taylor Swift cultural moment.
Performing on the world's biggest stage while engaged or married
to one of the NFL's biggest stars. The full circle
of it all is just poetry. Taylor Swift Today now
has an official Facebook community connect with fellow Swifties to
(08:37):

Taylor memories. Search Taylor Swift Today on Facebook or check
