This feels like the first time in years that I?ve seen Taylor Swift in bike shorts, a slouchy t-shirt, sneakers and a baseball cap. Throughout this year, she struts around New York in heels, minis and other cute ensembles. She?s the queen of street style and one of the nicest things about Taylor is that she gets ?dressed up? to leave her house. It does look like Taylor dressed with purpose though her t-shirt is from Free People, and it?s the Shania Twain ?Any Man of Mine? tee. Her sneakers are New Balance and she carried a Louis Vuitton purse.
These are pics of Taylor coming and going from the Electric Lady studio in NYC. The woman with her is Keleigh Sperry, aka Miles Teller?s wife. Miles and Taylor worked together a few years ago when he was cast in the music video for Taylor?s ?I Bet You Think About Me.? Taylor has been in and out of the Electric Lady all year, recording new music and re-recording 1989 (Taylor?s Version). She uses it as a social club too, inviting her friends to hang out at the studio and listen to her record. But where?s Travis Kelce? Well, even if Travis isn?t around constantly, he and Taylor are apparently quite smitten with each other:
Despite being one of the most famous women in the world, Taylor Swift ?was low-key and low-maintenance? as she watched Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce help his team defeat the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, October 1, an insider exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. The source adds that Swift ?was sweet to everyone and had an amazing time? as she cheered alongside famous pals including Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner and Sabrina Carpenter.
It was her second time watching Kelce play, but just one of Swift?s many upbeat outings in recent weeks. On a break from the first leg of her record-shattering Eras Tour ? which is set to make more than $1 billion ? the 33-year-old Grammy winner is clearly enjoying herself as she embarks on a new romance with the football star, 33, and spends quality time with her girl squad. ?Taylor?s doing all the things she hasn?t had time for lately,? says a second source, ?like going out with her friends and staying out late.?
Swift kept a noticeably lower profile during her six-year relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, from whom she split in April. ?Taylor has decided she?s not going to hide anymore,? a third source tells Us. ?She?s going to be her authentic self and enjoy life.?
Despite talk that Swift and Kelce?s hookup is a PR stunt, multiple sources tell Us the pop star?s feelings for the Ohio native are legit. They?ve seen each other several times ? Kelce was reportedly spotted leaving Swift?s NYC apartment on Sunday morning ? and ?talk every day,? says the third source. ?Taylor?s really enjoying getting to know Travis,? the insider adds. ?They?re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he?s a normal, nice guy. He?s down-to-earth and isn?t affected by fame. She also thinks he?s hot.?
A fourth source says the feelings are mutual: ?Travis is completely smitten.?
[From Us Weekly]
?Taylor has decided she?s not going to hide anymore. She?s going to be her authentic self and enjoy life.? That?s sort of my favorite part about Taylor, post-Joe Alwyn. She was so fking quiet during that relationship and while I appreciated that, and it felt like she was maturing, it?s been fun to see her as a chaotic single girl, out enjoying her life this year. Was the Matt Healy situation pretty bad? Yes, but it was also hilarious, because she was so out of practice as she tried to grapple with her feelings for a racist famewhore. This Travis Kelce thing must be a welcome relief.

Taylor Swift is re-releasing 1989, her pop-music album which, for my money, is probably her best and her most iconic. 1989 (Taylor?s Version) comes out on October 27. What?s sort of amazing is that she not only recreated the album, she?s actively recreating the vibe miniskirts, strutting around New York and girl squads. The update to the vibe is that Taylor has a new boyfriend, football player Travis Kelce.
Well, Taylor spent the whole weekend getting all kinds of headlines. Saturday night, Taylor was out with her New Girl Squad: Sophie Turner, Blake Lively and? Brittany Mahomes, wife of Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. They went out to dinner at Emilios Ballato in SoHo. Later that night, Travis snuck into Taylor?s apartment and he apparently spent the night ahead of his big game against the Jets.
Then last night, Taylor arrived at the Metlife Stadium (in New Jersey) with the Nu Squad: Sophie, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Robyn Lively, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and director Shawn Levy. They were in the VIP area with Travis?s mom Donna Kelce and Brittany Mahomes. This time, Taylor didn?t wear any Chiefs merch, which probably caused some NFL merch guy to weep. The Chiefs won and so did the television producers who kept cutting away to Taylor in the VIP area. After the game, Taylor then hit up Zero Bond with some of the squad.

From my very unofficial survey of Swifties, it seems like there is not a consensus about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?s portmanteau. Are they Traylor? Tayvis? TayTray? Swelce? You guys need to figure it out y?all insisted on Hiddleswift when, honestly, CB came up with ?Tiddles? and we held the Tiddles line here on this blog. I?m personally leaning more towards Traylor, but I?m sure the Snake Fam is clever enough to come up with something better than ?Taylor and that football guy.? Anyway, TMZ has been running all kinds of Traylor exclusives this week, including a photo taken inside of the Kansas City restaurant they went to following last Sunday?s game:

Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce the real deal? If past is prologue, then the answer is ?lol, no, this will last two months at most.? I?d be happy to be wrong here Travis seems like he likes the attention just as much as Taylor, and it?s been so long since she?s dated an American guy. I hope she gives him a real shot. Her most recent relationship was with Matt Healy, and it felt like she was fighting with her team about how she didn?t want to break it off with him. What is her team telling her this time? I don?t know. ?Sources? told People Mag that Taylor is ?very focused on work right now and hanging out with her girlfriends. Travis invited her to the game, and of course she said yes. She just thought it was a fantastic way to spend Sunday.? Taylor was seen leaving the Chiefs game in a convertible with Travis, then she went and partied with Travis and his fam after the game.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce created quite the buzz on Sunday night when they decided to cap off a thrilling game at Arrowhead Stadium with a surprise late-night dinner. The star-studded pairs evening resulted in the shutdown of a popular restaurant as fans and diners gathered for an unexpected encounter with the two celebrities.
Taylor and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end were seen leaving the stadium together, sending fans into a frenzy on social media. The unexpected rendezvous had Swifties and sports enthusiasts alike speculating about the nature of their relationship.
The real surprise, however, awaited fans at Prime Social Rooftop, a trendy restaurant in Kansas City. Patrons who were already dining there on Sunday night found themselves in the midst of an extraordinary encounter.
An eyewitness tells ET, Travis bought out the restaurant for his family and team. Taylor arrived, wearing a denim dress, and was seen snacking, having some cocktails and dancing alongside Travis. The two were very affectionate with one another but kept things fun and lighthearted. Travis teammates also showed up to the after-party, as well as his mom and dad, Donna and Ed. The party lasted until 2 a.m.
A source tells ET, Travis has never shied away from his desire to give dating with Taylor a try, which he even said during a press conference a few months ago after seeing Swift in concert. Travis and Taylor are taking things slowly, and not rushing into anything serious. Both are very career-focused, so the focus is on that for now, but thats not going to stop them from enjoying life when its the right moment.
One diner tells ET, So we went to Prime Social Rooftop for my friends 22nd birthday. They informed us before we left that they had a hard close at 8 p.m. and of course, seeing that Taylor was at the Chiefs game, we were already joking that she was going to be there.
As the clock neared 8 p.m., the restaurant staff approached diners with to-go boxes, informing them that they had to vacate the premises. To compensate for the early closure, the staff graciously offered free drinks at their sister restaurant a few floors down. The restaurant patrons couldnt help but wonder if this unusual situation was for the benefit of Taylor and Travis. When asked about the unexpected turn of events, the restaurant staff maintained a shroud of secrecy, smiling and replying that they cant confirm or deny the reason for the abrupt closure. However, as conversations with the staff continued, it became evident that they were thrilled about the special guests in attendance and even promised to convey greetings to Taylor.
[From ET]
The last part of ET?s exclusive comes from a TikTok of one of the bar patrons who was asked to leave as Taylor and Travis were arriving. Just FYI. I mean, I believe it. I believe that Travis decided to shoot his shot and he?s still reeling because it worked. This has an air of Travis muttering to himself ?don?t fk this up, don?t fk this up.? Dude, it?s not even about you! Taylor is gonna Taylor, either she?ll dip in a month or she?ll stick with you for five years. No in-between.

On Tuesday night, Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner went out together in New York. They never had beef, although I never considered them especially close. Sophie seemed to think Taylor?s history with Joe Jonas was funny more than anything else, and Sophie pursued a sort of celebrity-friendship/alliance with Taylor. Given that Joe Jonas spent a full week trying to smear Sophie for not being a perfect tradwife, it felt like Sophie and Tay?s little dinner was a perfect fk you to Joe from both of them. But what did Sophie and Taylor actually do on their big night out? They went to Via Carota, an Italian restaurant. Then they checked out Temple Bar and did ?caviar bumps.?
Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner hit New York City celebrity haunt Temple Bar together on Tuesday night, after grabbing dinner at downtown hotspot Via Carota.
A source told us that at Temple Bar, Swift and Turner enjoyed ?martinis with caviar bumps, which they seemed to love.?
?Caviar bumps? ? for those who missed the foodie trend ? consist of fancy caviar that?s luxuriously licked off the back of one?s hand. They reportedly go for $20-a-pop at Temple Bar. The New York Times called it, ?a decadent and naughty way to consume the pricey delicacy at certain restaurants, fashionable bars, art festivals and other showy gatherings.?
Said a spy of Swift and Turner together: ?They were having a fun time,? and added that they ordered the bar?s ?mini martinis.?
Though we?re also told they left with security, and ?didn?t stay long.?
The duo also happened to arrive at Temple Bar ?just as the Internet went out,? and, ?the manager was losing his mind,? an insider told Page Six. The Wi-Fi snafu, however, didn?t put a damper on the evening.
[From Page Six]
Wow, mini martinis and caviar bumps. That honestly sounds like a fun girls? night out. What?s the difference between a martini and a mini martini? Just? smaller, less alcohol? I want to know what they ate at Via Carota as well! And I want to know how this whole night came about. Who contacted whom? Was this arranged through their teams? My theory is that Taylor called Sophie and was like ?girl, I?m not going to say ?I told you so?? and Sophie was like ?girl I know, you were right.?

For years now, the MTV VMAs and Movie Awards have been in the depths of hell like, no A-listers were showing up to those events, and it was just an endless parade of C-listers and reality stars. I figured this year?s VMAs would be the same, but MTV somehow got a bunch of big-name people to come out. Of course, I kind of think the only reason Taylor Swift went to the VMAs is because MTV guaranteed that Taylor would sweep, which is what happened she won NINE VMAs this year. For the red carpet, Taylor wore Versace? you guys, this dress is so bad. Like, WTF? Who picked this out for Taylor? And who styled her?
Here?s Olivia Rodrigo in a great Ludovic de Saint Sernin dress. So pretty.
Shakira picked up the MTV Video Vanguard Award, and she wore Versace on the carpet (and on stage). I love how sparkles and metallics are back this year!
Cardi B wore the ?Dilara Findikoglu hair clip dress,? a dress made out of hundreds of hair clips. She looked cool.
Selena Gomez wore this red Oscar de la Renta dress. Eh, kind of phoned it in?

Here are some photos of Taylor Swift out in New York on Friday night. She was one again at the Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village. It?s Taylor?s hottest club she?s been recording at that studio for the better part of a year, and she invites her friends to hang out with her there. On Friday, Margaret Qualley, Karen Elson, Cara Delevingne, Sadie Sink, Hayley Williams and several other friends all joined her.
Guess who else was there? Sabrina Carpenter. If you?re in any way familiar with the backstory of Olivia Rodrigo?s first album, Sour, you know that Sabrina Carpenter was ?the other woman? in Olivia?s first relationship. After Taylor and Jack Antonoff sicced their lawyers on Olivia over her song ?deja vu,? Taylor then invited Sabrina to open for her Eras Tour. Taylor and Sabrina are now tight, and Olivia is apparently writing music about how Taylor fking sucks. Behold, Olivia?s ?The Grudge,? which many people believe is about Taylor.
There?s also a lot of discussion about Olivia?s ?lacy,? which is more clearly about a woman a rival, someone who screwed over Olivia professionally and personally?
I have no idea what?s about Taylor and what?s about Sabrina or whether these songs are about someone else entirely. What I do know is that on the same day Olivia?s GUTS album was released, Taylor was in her Bad Blood era with her performative girl squad, which now includes Sabrina Carpenter. Sh-t went down and I?m on Team Rodrigo.

This summer, the economy has been fueled by two women: Barbie and Taylor Swift. Barbie is crushing all of her box office competition, and Taylor Swift?s Eras Tour is a $2.2 billion juggernaut, spreading economic boosts to every city on the tour schedule. I would also argue that Beyonce?s Renaissance Tour has been a huge economic boost, but this post is about Tay-tay. Time Magazine did an interesting analysis of why the Eras Tour has been Taylor?s most successful tours yet, and she already had a great touring history.
While there?s much to say about the music, costumes, and production, the impact of the Eras Tour is starkly reflected in the numbers: a projected gross of $2.2 billion in North American ticket sales alone, and hundreds of millions of streams, reaching a nearly 80% spike in those listening to her music catalog in the weeks after the tour kicked off.
Swift?s tour is in a league of its own, even among legendary groups like the Rolling Stones who have been touring for decades, other major touring artists like Harry Styles and Beyonc and contemporaries like Adele with sold-out Las Vegas residencies, as the singer-songwriter brings her mega tour directly to her dedicated fans in various cities for multiple nights.
The reasons behind the Eras Tours unmatched success are many. Nora Princiotti, staff writer at The Ringer and co-host of the podcast of Every Single Album: Taylor Swift, attributes part of the tour?s success to the sheer depth and popularity of Swift?s music catalog. ?I dont know that anybody envisioned a tour of this scale ever happening. She can go three and a half hours and just hit after hit after hit,? says Princiotti.
There?s also the timing: The tour has become the perfect outing for concert-goers itching for a post-pandemic live music immersive experience. ?We are in an experience economy where people crave going out and participating in social events,? says Alice Enders, a music industry analyst at Enders Analysis and a former senior economist at the World Trade Organization. ?Its no surprise that people are flocking to this Eras Tour experience in what is increasingly an otherwise digital environment we live in.?
[From Time]
The thing about extremely-online people craving irl experiences is that Taylor gives them BOTH. Taylor gives her online Snake Fam enough content to fuel and engage with a billion internet rumors, memes, videos and conspiracies. Then those same people go to the concerts and make friends and share friendship bracelets. Meanwhile, Taylor is literally too big for the Super Bowl Halftime Show:
Taylor Swift has turned down the chance to perform at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show in Las Vegas because she is simply too busy with her current Eras world tour. The 33-year-old singer, who will play several shows at Foro Sol in Mexico this week, has been touring the United States since March of this year but is in no rush to do the legendary musical performance that usually lasts between 12 and 15 minutes.
Taylor doesnt believe that performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in Sin City would be a defining moment for her right now and is very much focused on other projects.
A source close to the Shake It Off hitmaker exclusively tells DailyMail.com: Taylor is busy with her current tour, she has zero time to prepare a Super Bowl show, she will do it eventually, but she is in no rush at all to do it in Vegas or do it in the next couple of years. She knows she is at her peak in her career and each move from this point on is as important as the next. Working on her current tour and recording her old music and working on new music and living life are taking up the majority of her time.
The insider continued: The Super Bowl will be a nice thing to do someday but it is not a defining moment for her right now. She knows she has all the time in the world, and she always reminds her team that Madonna was 53 when she finally did the show herself, so timing is everything. Taylor is well aware of how she wants her career to develop and will do things her way and her way only and will not rush into something she doesnt want to do just to do it and that includes the Super Bowl.
[From The Daily Mail]
Real talk: for years, Taylor Swift avoided the Halftime discussions because she?s sponsored by Coke, and the Halftime show?s longtime sponsor was Pepsi. Now Pepsi is out and Apple is sponsoring the Halftime show? so that?s why there?s speculation that there?s new interest in Taylor. But I think the rest of it is correct, Taylor?s simply too busy right now and she knows that she?ll be asked again.
Here are some pics of Taylor at Jack Antonoff?s wedding last weekend:

Taylor Swift figured out a way to tour in what feels like a brand-new way. Most touring acts go on the road for months at a time and it?s a whole traveling circus 24-7 with the artists, dancers and crew. Not Taylor most of her concerts are scheduled Thursday through Saturday, and then she has the other half of the week ?off,? where she flies home to New York or Nashville and decompresses and checks in with her cats. Her tour equipment is moved by 18-wheeler trucks and she has the franchise on those truckers: they are solely employed by her for the length of her tour. She?s removed herself from the traveling-circus aspect of touring and the whole operation is a well-oiled machine at this point, because she?s done this for her last three or four tours. Well, now Taylor?s truckers are getting a nice bonus.
Taylor Swift is sharing the wealth from her wildly successful Eras Tour in the form of six-figure bonuses for the truckers hauling her equipment all around the country! Our Taylor sources tell us she gifted each trucker working her tour $100,000 handing out the bonus checks before her Saturday show in Santa Clara, CA.
Were told the folks getting the money are production truck drivers who have been hauling Taylors equipment for The Eras Tour there are around 50 truckers for her U.S. tour, which means Taylor just shelled out about $5 million.
Our sources say the checks were an end of the tour bonus remember, the United States leg is coming to a close next week when Taylor plays a series of gigs at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood before moving down to Mexico.
Taylors nationwide tour has raked in $1 billion in sales and when the dust settles, she could end up having the highest-grossing tour of all time!!!
Truck drivers arent the only ones getting a slice of the pie in the form of bonuses. Our production sources tell us Taylor also bonused band members, dancers, lighting and sound technicians, caterers, and others. Its unclear how much the non-truckers received, but were told it was a very generous amount.
[From TMZ]
That?s genuinely nice! I would imagine the truckers, dancers and crew people already get paid well, but bonuses are always welcome and appreciated. It?s good for someone in Taylor?s position to not only give generously to the people she employs, but to be seen doing so, especially in an era when blue-collar work is not appreciated or properly compensated. The economics of Taylor Swift are always so fascinating to me, and Taylor is being partly credited with the economic revival in America. Taylor and Barbie the booming economics of ?making a product for girls and women.?

Taylor Swifts call for her fans to chill out on John Mayer had the complete opposite effect. I mean, who wouldve thought that asking people who call themselves Swifties to be reasonable and mature on the internet would actually result in a wave of relentless hate? Im shocked.
