Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. It's Sunday,
which means it's time for our regular weekly episode, and
we have so much to unpack, from exclusive wedding venue
details to some controversy with Mamma Kelsey, plus Taylor's VMA's
decision and Patrick Mahomes being the ultimate wingman.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We're covering it all today.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Settle in because this is going to be a long
one with lots of feelings.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Let's dive right in.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
First up, Daily Mail has exclusive details about the wedding
location and oh my god, it's happening at Taylor's Rhode
Island mansion, the twenty eight million dollar oceanfront estate in
Watch Hill. Yes, the legendary Fourth of July party House
is officially going to be the venue. An insider exclusively
told Daily Mail his family doesn't care where it's at.
(00:56):
It could be in timbuktwo and they'd go there for it.
But yeah, right now is that it's going to be
in Rhode Island at her mansion. But here's where it
gets interesting. There's apparently some disagreement about the size of
the wedding. The source revealed he wants a big blowout
with everyone he loves. But he did say that he
has to run it by her, so I'd guess he
wants a bigger thing than she does.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
This makes total sense.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Travis has his entire chiefs team, his huge friend group,
and he's such a social guy. But Taylor, after years
of public scrutiny, might want something more intimate. Finding that
balance is going to be tricky. The Rhode Island mansion
is perfect for a wedding, though, five acres with manicured gardens,
a swimming pool and poolhouse, sweeping patios, and seven hundred
(01:42):
feet of private beach, eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, eight fireplaces.
She bought this place in twenty thirteen when she was
just twenty three, and reportedly paid in full with a
single wire transfer.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
This house has history too.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's hosted everyone from Selena Gomez to Tom Hittleston, Calvin Harris,
and Joe Jonas over the years. Travis and their friends
were there in August twenty twenty four for a private getaway,
and with that one point seven million dollar expansion underway,
she might be setting the stage for her biggest party yet.
Now we need to address some controversy that's been brewing.
(02:18):
Donna Kelsey has come under fire after being tied to
what fans are calling a misogynistic post about Taylor's uterus.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yes you heard that right.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Comedian Leanne Morgan posted a video where she joked her
uterus is aching and she wants a baby. She wants
to breed with that big old Kelsey boy. Morgan tagged
Donna as a joint collaborator and commented, congratulations girl, grand
babies playing ball and singing.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Fans are divided on this.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Some think Donna accidentally accepted an invite when Morgan uploaded
the video.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Others are calling it internalized misogyny.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
One Reddit user pointed out making misogynistic comments about a
woman in her body is not such a a mom
thing to do. But others are defending Donna, saying she's
just excited about grandkids and probably didn't think it through.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
The post has since been deleted.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Look, I get that Donna's excited, but talking about Taylor's
uterus publicly, that's crossing a line, even for a future
mother in law. Despite this controversy, sources tell people that
Donna is being adorably sentimental about the engagement She's already
saving little things from this time, like photos, notes, and flowers.
She wants to remember every detail, so she has been
(03:30):
holding onto mementos from their first days as an engaged couple.
In other news, Taylor is skipping the MTV VMA's tonight.
She won't be at Ubs Arena, even though she's nominated
for Artist of the Year. She and Beyonce are currently
tied with thirty VMAs each. If Taylor wins, she'll become
the most decorated artist in VMA history. But Travis had
(03:54):
his season opener against the Chargers in Brazil on Friday,
and honestly, after last year when she thanked Travis in
her speech saying he was the one cheering from across
the studio, maybe she wants to keep the focus on
her music this time. Speaking of Brazil, TMZ confirmed Taylor
did not attend the game. No wags made the trip
since it's just a two day jawn with no time
(04:15):
for families to intermingle, plus security for Taylor in Brazil
would have been a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's the first game since their engagement announcement.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
But we'll definitely see her at the Dallas game on
September fourteenth at Arrowhead. But the best moment from Brazil
was Patrick Mahomes correcting a reporter who asked Travis about
dating Taylor Swift and his off field activities. Patrick immediately interrupted,
saying engaged, and the room burst into laughter. Travis joked, yeah,
(04:44):
I got one more ring from it, then got Sirius saying,
ever since I've been dating Taylor, life has been fun.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It's been exciting.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Obviously there's a lot more eyes on me, and I
accept that, but I'm living life and living on a high.
I guess Patrick being the ultimate wingman and making sure
everyone knows his boy is engaged, not just dating. That's
true friendship right there. Aaron Andrews is also gushing about
the couple. She told E News this week that she
loved their New Heights podcast appearance because that's what we
(05:15):
get to see with them together, the way they interact,
how cute, funny, witty they both are, how they're sarcastic.
She praised both the proposal and how Taylor announced it, saying,
I feel like everything was really on display there and
that's what I thought was so special and really cool
that she gave others an invitation to see that. Reba
McIntyre also weighed in during an NFL segment. When asked
(05:38):
for one word to describe Taylor and Travis's relationship, she
sweetly said cute. Riba and Taylor are both country music.
Royalty and Riba wrote on Instagram in twenty twenty four,
Taylor is a wonderful artist, strong role model and has
done so much good for so many people and the
music industry. Now this next story is going to make
(05:59):
you cry happy tears. Travis's trainer Tony Vellani shared the
sweetest story about Taylor with USA Today. His eight year
old daughter, Carol Miles, walked in during a video call
and asked, Travis, where's your girlfriend? After asking some questions
about marriage, Taylor appeared on screen for a chat. Valani
said her and Travis just hammed it up with my
(06:21):
daughter for like two minutes. My daughter just couldn't speak
because she was in awe. He added, neither of them
needed to do that. I think they're just like that.
I really do. And it's very genuine about Travis, he said,
he's literally the most humble, fun loving, honest, genuine and
hard working guy there is. What you see on his
podcast that's him. There is no fakeness to it. This
(06:44):
is why we love them. Taking time during a video
call to make an eight year old's day.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's character.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Speaking of kids being excited, Kylie Kelsey shared on Good
Morning America that Jason's four daughters are thrilled about the engagement.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
They're so excited they're getting another aunt.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Can you imagine those girls as flower girls at the wedding?
Now I have to address this because it's honestly hilarious.
Skip Bayless is wondering if Taylor and Travis rushed their
engagement announcement to tarnish his podcast, I'm not making this up.
Last week, Skip and his wife recorded their podcast before
the engagement news broke. They discussed Taylor and had to
(07:22):
add a disclaimer. A listener asked if they rushed the
announcement because of Skip, and he wouldn't confirm or deny it.
Skip claimed he and his brother Jason Kelsey, He's in
every other ad on television and it's all because of
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Excuse me.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Jason's twenty eighteen Super Bowl Parade speech dressed as a
mummer was iconic long before Taylor. The Kelsey brothers were
already stars the narcissism of thinking Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelcey time their engagement announcement around your podcast schedule, Sir,
they don't even know you exist. Looking at everything we've
(08:03):
covered today, what strikes me is how this wedding.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Is shaping up to be the event of the decade.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Rhode Island mansion, possibly hundreds of guests if Travis gets
his way. Two families who adore each other, and a
love story that's captured the world.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The venue choice is so perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's where Taylor has hosted her most memorable parties, where
she's created so many memories with friends, and now it'll
be where she marries the love of her life. Those
seven hundred feet of private beach, the gardens, the pool.
Can you imagine the photos. I love that there's some
negotiation about the wedding size. It shows their real people
working through real decisions together. Travis wanting to celebrate with
(08:43):
everyone he loves is so hymn and Taylor potentially wanting
something more intimate after years of public scrutiny makes total
sense too. Despite the Donna controversy, both families are clearly
over the moon about this wedding from Donna saving mementos
to Ed joking about the rehears dinner, from Jason's daughters
being thrilled to get another aunt to Taylor charming trainers
(09:04):
kids on video calls, this is a true family merger.
And can we talk about how Travis said on New
Heights It's been really fun telling everybody who I'm going
to be spending the rest of my life with, the
way Patrick corrected that reporter, the way their friends like
Aaron Andrews talk about them. Everyone who actually knows them
sees how genuine and perfect they are together. That's all
(09:26):
for today's Sunday episode of Taylor Swift Today. Will the
wedding be big or intimate? Are you team big blowout
or team small ceremony? And how perfect is that Rhode
Island venue? Taylor Swift Today now has an official Facebook
