Hey Swifties, Welcome back to Taylor Swift Today. I'm your
host Ali and we have bombshell news to kick off
today's episode. Travis Kelcey is reportedly furious over President Trump's
latest attack on Taylor. Plus, we've got shocking new developments
in the Blake Lively lawsuit, a heartwarming Mother's Day celebration,
and some disturbing news near Taylor's Rhode Island mansion.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Let's dive right in first up.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Sources close to Travis Kelcey have revealed to The Daily
Mail that he is absolutely seething over Donald Trump's recent
dig at Taylor. On Friday, while traveling back to the
US from Saudi Arabia, Trump posted on truth Social claiming
that since he said I hate Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
She's no longer hot excuse me.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
This unprovoked attack is apparently making Travis livid, but according
to insiders, he's choosing to channel that anger into motivation
for NFL training camp rather than responding publicly. The source
told The Daily Mail, Travis is livid that the President
of the United States is talking negatively about Taylor. He
is so mad that he is going to use it
(01:15):
as motivation during training for the season ahead, especially if
Trump continues talking. Apparently, Travis feels that keeping quiet is
the move he has to do right now because responding
would just open another can of worms, but he would
love to protect Taylor.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And stick up for her.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What makes this situation even more complicated is that it
could potentially strain the relationship between Taylor and Travis and
their friends Patrick and Britney Mahomes, who have expressed public
support for Trump without formally endorsing him. As we know,
Taylor and Brittany have become close friends since Taylor started
dating Travis in twenty twenty three, and Travis and Patrick
(01:53):
have been teammates and besties for eight years.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
However, the source reassured.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That it isn't causing any drama with his teammates as
of yet, and that they don't talk about politics around
each other. The insider added that Travis just hates that
Taylor has to be brought up in these conversations, especially
from a man who is supposed to be protecting and
serving all Americans.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It is very frustrating.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
This attack from Trump comes at an already difficult time
for Taylor, as she's dealing with her involvement in the
Blake Lively Justin Baldoni legal battle, speaking of which there
are major new developments in that saga. A bombshell legal
letter submitted Wednesday by Baldoni's legal team claims that Blake
tried to coerce Taylor into siding with her publicly by
(02:37):
threatening to leak years worth of their private text messages.
This explosive allegation could explain what shattered their ten year friendship.
According to court documents filed on May fourteenth, Baldoni's attorneys
are alleging that Blake asked Taylor to delete their text
messages and pressured her to release a public statement supporting Blake.
They claim that Blake's lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, contacted an attorney
(03:00):
at Venable LLP, the firm that represented Taylor in her
twenty fifteen sexual assault case against DJ David Muller, and
allegedly threatened that private text messages between the women would
be released if Taylor didn't comply with their demand for
public support. Baldoni's team says they have a source who
is highly likely to have reliable information about all of this,
(03:21):
and they're pushing for the subpoena to obtain these communications,
arguing they show an attempt to intimidate and coerce a
precipient witness. As we mentioned last episode, Taylor was officially
subpoenaed in this case last week, and her team responded
with a blistering statement emphasizing that she never set foot
on the set of this movie. She was not involved
(03:42):
in any casting or creative decisions. She did not score
the film. She never saw an edit or made any
notes on the film. She did not even see It
ends with Us until weeks after its public release. With
the case not going to trial until March twenty twenty six,
this drama is far from over. In much happier news,
Taylor spent Mother's Day with the entire Kelsey family in Philadelphia.
(04:05):
Jason Kelsey confirmed to Extra that they had a lot
of people in for the celebration, which included honoring all
the women who made their family possible. While Jason didn't
specifically name Taylor and Travis, an eyewitness told Page six
that the couple flew under the radar as they celebrated
Donna Kelcey at Tallula's Garden Restaurant in Philadelphia. Some sneaky
(04:26):
picks taken by a bystander show Taylor looking adorable in
a black Christy Dawn dress with a daisy print, while
Travis matched her laid back vibe in a white button
down shirt. The source said that Jason and Kylie's daughters
were also present and were extremely polite, sweet, and adorable
during the family outing.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
How precious is that?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Speaking of the Kelsey family, Jason also confirmed in an
interview with Entertainment Tonight that Taylor has officially met baby Finley.
He said, she has. Yep, she's met her. We were
fortunate to have them all in. It doesn't happen often.
Everyone's busy, but it was really special. As we've discussed
in previous episodes, Finley, Finn and Kelsey is Jason and
(05:09):
Kylie's fourth daughter, born in late March. Jason added, thankfully,
we have a really tight knit family that makes time
for each other. It's been awesome. The Kelsey family clearly
adores Taylor. Remember that source who told Page six back
in February that the family sees her as a perfect
fit for Travis and would love to see Taylor and
(05:30):
Travis spend their lives together. They also said they've never
seen Travis so happy with a girlfriend before. Aw In
some not so wholesome news about the Kelsey brothers, Travis
and Jason are facing some backlash after making what many
consider inappropriate jokes about Pope Leo the fourteenth celibacy. On
their New Heights podcast, the brothers, who were raised Christian,
(05:54):
discussed how the new American pope from Chicago managed to
remain celibate, with Travis joking, somebody getting out of Chicago
without that. Honestly, they're probably liked he made it out
of Chicago without any intercourse.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
This guy can do anything. Yikes.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
This comes just weeks after former President Trump faced criticism
from Catholic groups for posting an AI generated image of
himself as the Pope. Not sure this was the best
topic for the brothers to joke about. In some rather
disturbing news, likely human remains were found washed up in
Rhode Island, just a short distance from Taylor's beachfront mansion
(06:29):
in watch Hill. Police were called to the area around
nine thirty am on Wednesday following the discovery of what
appears to be a human like bone. A local resident
named Taylor day what a coincidence, said, The remains were
probably a couple football fields away from Taylor, Swift's house
and the Ocean House. The remains have been transferred to
the Rhode Island Medical Examiner's Office for analysis.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
How creepy is that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
In more lighthearted news, WNBA star Caitlin Clark recently opened
up about her experience watching a Kansas City Chief's playoff
game with Taylor earlier this year. Clark, who's both a
Chiefs fan and a swiftee, had nothing but amazing things
to say about Taylor. I think what people don't always
realize about people with a certain spotlight. Whether it's her,
(07:14):
whether it's me, whether it's another professional athlete or a
pop star.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
We're real people, Clark told ESPN.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
We're just having normal conversations as any other person in
Arrowhead Stadium that night.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
She loves the Chiefs just as much as I do.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Clark also praised Taylor's kindness, saying she's probably one of
the sweetest people I've ever been around, adding everybody says
that when you meet her, but it's really true. She
just treats everybody with the same amount of kindness.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
And her family was great.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
What a wonderful endorsement from one superstar to another More
in a Moment. Despite mostly staying out of the public
eye in twenty twenty five after the conclusion of her
eristour last December, Taylor is still racking up the accolades.
(08:06):
She was just named Songwriter of the Year by BMI
for the second consecutive year, and was also recognized for
Most Performed Songs of the Year, with hits like Don't
Blame Me, Fortnite and Now That We Don't Talk among
the most played tracks, and Let's not forget her incredible
streaming numbers. Her twenty twenty album ever More just saw
a thirteen percent spike in streaming Yes her Lucky number,
(08:30):
and has surpassed three hundred million streams on Spotify in
twenty twenty five alone. This makes Evermore her tenth album
to hit that milestone this year, despite none of the
music being newly released. She's the only artist to have
ten separate albums cross three hundred million streams in twenty
twenty five, and she accomplished it in less than one
hundred thirty three days.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Queen Behavior Taylor is.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Also nominated for six awards at the upcoming American Music
Awards on May twenty sixth, and many Swifties are specula
that she might use the event to announce something big.
Remember all those theories about TS twelve or reputation Taylor's
version that we discussed in earlier episodes. Some fans have
spotted potential Easter eggs on her website and Taylor nation
x account that hint at an announcement coming soon. With Taylor,
