However, 0:00:30.304 --> 0:00:34.464 this episode was recorded before Taylor Swift announced her endorsement 0:00:34.544 --> 0:00:37.424 for Kamala Harris, so please keep that in mind when 0:00:37.424 --> 0:00:45.224 you listen from Mamma Maya. Welcome to the Spill your 0:00:45.304 --> 0:00:46.664 daily pop culture fix. 0:00:46.904 --> 0:00:48.904 I'm m Vernon and I'm Laura Brodnick. 0:00:49.024 --> 0:00:51.824 On the show today, we are talking about Taylor Swift 0:00:51.864 --> 0:00:53.704 at the US Open. We have talked about her at 0:00:53.744 --> 0:00:56.704 the US Open before, but we're talking about a photo 0:00:56.784 --> 0:01:01.304 of her hugging Brittany Mahomes. We break everything down for you. Plus, 0:01:01.304 --> 0:01:04.464 Beyonce has been snubbed at the Country Music Awards. 0:01:04.504 --> 0:01:07.944 But first but first, So a few days ago, the 0:01:08.144 --> 0:01:11.064 cast for the new season of the America Dancing with 0:01:11.104 --> 0:01:14.064 the Stars was announced. That's a huge show in America 0:01:14.224 --> 0:01:17.504 still and the casting is always a really big deal. 0:01:17.904 --> 0:01:20.704 But this time around, one person and one photo in 0:01:20.744 --> 0:01:24.824 particular made headlines and that is fake Heiress and Adelvi, 0:01:25.544 --> 0:01:27.824 who is in the new season, and there was a 0:01:27.864 --> 0:01:29.584 photo of her. I think people were losing their minds 0:01:29.624 --> 0:01:31.624 over because obviously they released like a dancing you know, 0:01:31.704 --> 0:01:36.144 portrait at each person who's competing, and hers very prominently 0:01:36.184 --> 0:01:39.704 had on display a chic little black ankorn monitor wrapped 0:01:39.704 --> 0:01:40.864 around her leg. 0:01:41.024 --> 0:01:43.304 So she's gonna be dancing with the ankle monitor. 0:01:43.424 --> 0:01:44.784 Yeah, she has. I think that's the whole point of 0:01:44.784 --> 0:01:45.504 an ankle monitor. 0:01:45.664 --> 0:01:47.904 Haven't personally worn one, but that you have to keep 0:01:47.904 --> 0:01:50.304 it on all times and lets the police know if 0:01:50.304 --> 0:01:52.904 he moves away from the arena floor, she'll get pinged. 0:01:52.984 --> 0:01:54.824 Oh I wonder if she could put like a sleeve 0:01:54.944 --> 0:01:57.304 on top of it so it's not as like prominent. 0:01:57.544 --> 0:01:59.304 I think the way the photo has done, it's meant 0:01:59.344 --> 0:02:01.064 to be prominent, and you can just tell that she's 0:02:01.104 --> 0:02:03.904 loving So everyone was like, this is iconic, this is amazing. 0:02:03.944 --> 0:02:06.344 We love it because people, I think even love her 0:02:06.344 --> 0:02:08.544 even more so after the whole Netflix show came out. 0:02:08.744 --> 0:02:11.704 Yeah, it's one of those weird sessions, like I remember 0:02:11.744 --> 0:02:14.584 when that movie of zach Efron where he acted as 0:02:14.664 --> 0:02:19.024 Ted Bundy. Yeah, the wickedly. Oh yeah, yeah, the one 0:02:19.024 --> 0:02:21.744 with the longest title ever. And like how everyone kind 0:02:21.744 --> 0:02:24.344 of got a re obsession with Ted Bundy forgetting that 0:02:24.424 --> 0:02:25.704 he was a serial. 0:02:25.864 --> 0:02:28.224 I have a slight issue with comparing Anna Delby and 0:02:28.264 --> 0:02:29.184 Ted Bundy. 0:02:28.864 --> 0:02:31.224 But a serial killer. Yeah, moving right past that. 0:02:31.344 --> 0:02:33.144 So even some of you friends, I know what posting 0:02:33.144 --> 0:02:35.184 this photo being like this is like conic, this is amazing. 0:02:35.584 --> 0:02:37.544 And then the women on the View, so the American 0:02:37.584 --> 0:02:41.104 talk show had a slightly different approach, particularly Whoopy Goldberg, 0:02:41.144 --> 0:02:43.744 who is a panelist on the show, and she was 0:02:43.784 --> 0:02:46.184 talking about how it wasn't the best move and that 0:02:46.264 --> 0:02:48.904 Anna hasn't paid people back. And today Anna has given 0:02:48.904 --> 0:02:52.824 an interview to page six basically calling Whoopy Goldberg and 0:02:52.864 --> 0:02:55.744 the viewwomen out, and she said, I served my time 0:02:55.784 --> 0:02:58.944 and I paid everyone back in full over three years ago. 0:02:59.384 --> 0:03:01.664 Of Woopy Goldberg, she said, I'm looking forward to your 0:03:01.664 --> 0:03:04.504 on air correction. And then she said to the View ladies, 0:03:04.544 --> 0:03:07.104 like her final message was stay nasty, ladies, but don't 0:03:07.104 --> 0:03:08.744 forget to vote. September seventeen. 0:03:08.984 --> 0:03:11.504 Oh my god, she loves it. 0:03:11.544 --> 0:03:13.424 Though she would have loved that again, she would have 0:03:13.464 --> 0:03:15.824 loved the attention around it. But what I think is 0:03:15.864 --> 0:03:17.944 kind of been lost in this conversation a little bit, 0:03:17.984 --> 0:03:20.504 and that everyone's like, yeah, down with Woopye Goldberg, Like 0:03:20.544 --> 0:03:23.264 how dare she call out Anna Delvi? And so many 0:03:23.304 --> 0:03:25.744 people I think find Anna delviy, Like not just because 0:03:25.744 --> 0:03:28.784 of her crimes of like impersonating a rich heiress and 0:03:28.864 --> 0:03:31.264 all that sort of thing, Like it's such an intoxicating story. 0:03:31.304 --> 0:03:33.264 I can tell why people are so obsessed with it, 0:03:33.464 --> 0:03:35.744 but also because she was taking money from rich people 0:03:35.744 --> 0:03:37.784 in banks. It's kind of like she's a modern day 0:03:37.864 --> 0:03:40.344 Robin Hood, Like she's a criminal we can get behind. 0:03:40.504 --> 0:03:43.464 But I think, Whoopi Goldberg, her actual message has been 0:03:43.544 --> 0:03:46.264 lost in this hole back and forth of like current 0:03:46.304 --> 0:03:49.224 Anna Delvey calling each other out, because what the actual 0:03:49.264 --> 0:03:51.504 point of her message of saying that she feels uncomfortable 0:03:51.504 --> 0:03:54.304 seeing Annadelvi on Dancing with the Stars is that Anna 0:03:54.304 --> 0:03:57.184 Delvi had to get permission from ICE in America, which 0:03:57.224 --> 0:03:59.544 is the Immigration and Customs Enforcement team, had to get 0:03:59.664 --> 0:04:02.024 permission from them to compete in all this back and forth, 0:04:02.344 --> 0:04:04.784 and Whoopy Goldberg was saying, you know, I just think 0:04:04.824 --> 0:04:08.664 of all the families who've had their family members arrested 0:04:08.704 --> 0:04:11.344 by ICE, who have gone to the courts begging for 0:04:11.384 --> 0:04:13.704 their dad or their brother, or their mother or someone 0:04:13.704 --> 0:04:14.344 they love. 0:04:14.584 --> 0:04:15.984 Literally like ripped away from them. 0:04:16.024 --> 0:04:17.864 And then we've seen it again. That's the kind of 0:04:17.864 --> 0:04:19.384 thing we see from ICE in America. Is that. 0:04:19.504 --> 0:04:21.544 Obviously, I know that's a very kind of lad situation, 0:04:21.624 --> 0:04:24.144 but there are all these reports and these news stories 0:04:24.184 --> 0:04:26.224 that have come out of someone who has lived in 0:04:26.304 --> 0:04:28.664 America most of their life showing up to work one 0:04:28.744 --> 0:04:31.424 day being taken by Ice, being deported, being held in custody. 0:04:31.624 --> 0:04:33.424 There's a lot of people who are like fighting to 0:04:33.424 --> 0:04:35.824 get family members back or fighting to like get their 0:04:35.864 --> 0:04:39.584 immigration status changed. It's a very contentious human rights issue. 0:04:39.744 --> 0:04:41.424 And what Woopee was saying is she's like, I'm thinking 0:04:41.464 --> 0:04:43.464 of all these people who are fighting to get their 0:04:43.504 --> 0:04:45.984 families back, and then this woman has been given permission 0:04:46.024 --> 0:04:47.584 by ICE to do Dancing with the Stars, Like it 0:04:47.624 --> 0:04:49.904 feels like a double standard, and it just feels like 0:04:49.904 --> 0:04:52.344 a slap in the face to a lot of people 0:04:52.384 --> 0:04:54.424 in America who are facing this issue. 0:04:54.584 --> 0:04:57.184 It's also just like so telling and I have to 0:04:57.224 --> 0:04:59.224 be that person to say it, like, would she be 0:04:59.264 --> 0:05:01.944 given that permission if she had different colored skin. Absolutely not, 0:05:02.024 --> 0:05:04.184 and it's just insane. Do we get dancing at the 0:05:04.184 --> 0:05:06.704 stars here like the American American version. I'm sure you 0:05:06.704 --> 0:05:08.704 could find a way to streamers you want to watch it, 0:05:08.744 --> 0:05:10.144 You'll see the clips. The clips will be all like, 0:05:10.344 --> 0:05:11.704 I hope, like this is a massive for them. And 0:05:11.704 --> 0:05:14.304 then she gets kicked off for the first episode. 0:05:14.944 --> 0:05:17.384 Well, another big story that we must address today. Because 0:05:17.384 --> 0:05:19.384 you and I are quite fired up about this. I'm 0:05:19.384 --> 0:05:21.144 just gonna put it out there that I am until 0:05:21.184 --> 0:05:23.664 this day, I have never had an opinion about country music. 0:05:23.984 --> 0:05:26.024 Who she went awards, Who's at the top of the charts? 0:05:26.024 --> 0:05:26.384 Ipt? 0:05:26.904 --> 0:05:29.384 I respect country music, but it's not my genre of choice. 0:05:29.384 --> 0:05:30.944 But now I'm all in. I have thoughts and I 0:05:30.984 --> 0:05:35.304 have opinions, and that is because Beyonce Beyonce nos Karter. 0:05:35.464 --> 0:05:39.344 I guess it has been snubbed at the Country Music Awards. 0:05:39.664 --> 0:05:42.184 The Country Music Award nominations have come out. This is 0:05:42.224 --> 0:05:44.704 like the Grammys for country music, like the biggest, most 0:05:44.704 --> 0:05:46.904 prestigious awards ceremony. 0:05:47.304 --> 0:05:47.904 Yeah, exactly. 0:05:47.904 --> 0:05:49.544 They always draw a lot of big names, and she 0:05:49.584 --> 0:05:52.504 has performed before. She has performed there before. So her 0:05:52.544 --> 0:05:56.504 album Cowboy Carter failed to Land a single nomination when 0:05:56.504 --> 0:05:59.264 the nominations were released today. And if you're not across 0:05:59.264 --> 0:06:01.464 how the CMAS work. Basically like any of the big 0:06:01.464 --> 0:06:04.704 awards shows, Emmys, Oscars, Grammys, all that sort of thing, 0:06:04.744 --> 0:06:07.224 they're voted on each year by like a group of 0:06:07.264 --> 0:06:10.344 people who are in the Country Music Association. In this case, 0:06:10.384 --> 0:06:14.224 there's seven three hundred individuals and there's three different rounds 0:06:14.224 --> 0:06:15.824 of balloting, so like you know, to get the first 0:06:15.904 --> 0:06:18.904 round of nomination's, second round, then the actual winner. This 0:06:19.184 --> 0:06:21.304 is not a public vote, no, no, no, it's not. 0:06:21.304 --> 0:06:22.304 A public vote at all. 0:06:22.344 --> 0:06:24.904 It's by people in the music industry, kind of like 0:06:24.944 --> 0:06:26.744 how the Grammys is also voted by people in the 0:06:26.784 --> 0:06:29.144 music industry, and there's been a lot of contention around 0:06:29.584 --> 0:06:33.544 who is deemed worthy from them as well. So going 0:06:33.584 --> 0:06:36.304 back to Cowboy Karter, it is the first album by 0:06:36.344 --> 0:06:38.704 a black woman to reach number one on the Billboard 0:06:38.784 --> 0:06:42.224 Top Country Charts, which is a huge history making moment 0:06:42.304 --> 0:06:45.304 at the time. Also, the single Texas Hold a Great 0:06:45.344 --> 0:06:48.904 Song became the first song by a black woman to 0:06:48.904 --> 0:06:52.424 get the top spot on Billboard's Country Song chart, and 0:06:52.464 --> 0:06:54.664 it also charted in all different areas as well. But 0:06:54.744 --> 0:06:56.864 the fact that it was charting on those country music 0:06:56.984 --> 0:06:59.104 charts and then it broke those records and made her 0:06:59.144 --> 0:07:02.344 the first black woman to achieve that was a huge 0:07:02.664 --> 0:07:05.664 moment in musical history. And also Beyonce was also really 0:07:05.704 --> 0:07:08.704 passionate about pointing out that other women of color had 0:07:08.744 --> 0:07:10.824 been in the country music space, but you know, they 0:07:10.824 --> 0:07:13.544 had been held back from charting or having their music 0:07:13.584 --> 0:07:15.784 out there or being given awards, and she kind of 0:07:16.184 --> 0:07:18.144 pulled that all together and was like, yeah, I'm kind 0:07:18.144 --> 0:07:19.584 of doing it for all of us, which is a 0:07:19.664 --> 0:07:22.384 nice sentiment as much as we saw all these record 0:07:22.424 --> 0:07:24.784 breaking moments for Cowboy Carter, though, it was given like 0:07:24.864 --> 0:07:28.424 quite a limited promotion on country music stations, which was 0:07:28.504 --> 0:07:31.104 quite interesting. So music stations that are dedicated just to 0:07:31.144 --> 0:07:33.544 playing country music and a kind of scene as the 0:07:33.624 --> 0:07:36.824 taste makers in that area would barely play it. There's 0:07:37.024 --> 0:07:40.064 reports of people calling in and requesting songs from Cowboy 0:07:40.104 --> 0:07:41.984 Carter and they're being told they weren't going to be played. 0:07:42.344 --> 0:07:44.824 And it's kind of wildly believed that the airplay on 0:07:44.904 --> 0:07:49.064 those country music charts is going to, I guess change 0:07:49.104 --> 0:07:51.744 the industry's mind who vote for the awards more so 0:07:51.784 --> 0:07:56.064 than play on mainstream music channels, which has all resulted 0:07:56.064 --> 0:07:59.064 in her being snubbed from these awards, even though Beyonce 0:07:59.584 --> 0:08:03.064 said that Cowboy Carter wasn't strictly a country music album. 0:08:03.184 --> 0:08:04.944 Remember how she's like, it's not a country music album, 0:08:04.944 --> 0:08:05.824 it's a Beyonce album. 0:08:07.384 --> 0:08:09.304 Because she's a genre or herself. 0:08:09.544 --> 0:08:13.744 It does technique sit within the country music charts, and 0:08:13.784 --> 0:08:16.664 that's why everyone's like, well, it definitely should have been nominated. 0:08:16.824 --> 0:08:19.264 Some of those songs on her album was like, sounded 0:08:19.304 --> 0:08:23.704 more country than Taylor Swift Feelless. Yeah, like that that 0:08:23.784 --> 0:08:24.624 was a country album. 0:08:24.864 --> 0:08:27.384 Yeah, one hundred percent. And on one hand, a lot 0:08:27.384 --> 0:08:29.624 of people are saying, like, you know, she's Beyonce. She 0:08:30.224 --> 0:08:32.944 is known as one of the greatest musicians of our time. 0:08:33.064 --> 0:08:36.824 She sells out stadiums, her albums are so critically acclaimed. 0:08:36.824 --> 0:08:39.464 People love her, like does she need this? But I 0:08:39.504 --> 0:08:42.264 think it's not about Beyonce. It's more about the overlooked 0:08:42.304 --> 0:08:45.504 legacy of black women, black men, and women, but particularly 0:08:45.504 --> 0:08:47.824 I think black women in the country music industry. And 0:08:47.824 --> 0:08:50.304 I think also coming off the back of the Grammys 0:08:50.584 --> 0:08:53.464 and that big discussion we had this year, and we've 0:08:53.504 --> 0:08:56.224 been having for years around her being really snubbed by 0:08:56.264 --> 0:08:59.184 the Grammys in multiple categories. I mean, she's never been 0:08:59.184 --> 0:09:02.024 nominated for Artists of the Year, She's been snubbed over 0:09:02.064 --> 0:09:05.064 four times for Album of the Year and additional eight 0:09:05.144 --> 0:09:07.784 times for Record of the Year. Like the Grammys have 0:09:07.864 --> 0:09:10.904 really become about the We're not the Beyonce club, like 0:09:10.984 --> 0:09:11.744 is their tagline. 0:09:11.784 --> 0:09:14.544 It had to take her husband jay Z to say something, 0:09:14.744 --> 0:09:16.824 and even then people were annoyed at him, like how 0:09:16.904 --> 0:09:17.864 dare he say something? 0:09:17.984 --> 0:09:19.984 Yeah, how dare he get up and make that moment 0:09:20.104 --> 0:09:22.624 about the fact that she'd been snubbed, But it had 0:09:22.664 --> 0:09:24.824 been a conversation had been happening for years, Like as 0:09:24.824 --> 0:09:27.544 we said the time, infamously, Adele made her whole acceptance 0:09:27.584 --> 0:09:28.184 speech about that. 0:09:28.384 --> 0:09:32.224 Yeah, it's actually quite interesting because she is so smart, 0:09:32.344 --> 0:09:35.744 Like she is so brilliant. And I have a theory 0:09:35.824 --> 0:09:38.184 that she knew exactly what was going to happen. I 0:09:38.184 --> 0:09:41.264 have a theory that she knew she wouldn't be nominated 0:09:41.464 --> 0:09:44.464 at the Country Music Awards, and this was her way 0:09:44.504 --> 0:09:47.224 of saying, I told you so. Yeah, Like I've given 0:09:47.264 --> 0:09:50.304 you all the evidence. There's no reason that these radio 0:09:50.304 --> 0:09:52.704 shows should not be playing my music. There's no reason 0:09:52.704 --> 0:09:55.504 I shouldn't be nominated for an award or win an award. 0:09:55.864 --> 0:09:58.424 We saw the massive backlash she had when she performed 0:09:58.464 --> 0:10:01.144 at the CMAS, Like people hated her for that. I 0:10:01.144 --> 0:10:03.824 do remember I recommended a week in Watch, which was 0:10:03.864 --> 0:10:07.264 a short documentary on Binge. It was called Call Me Country, 0:10:07.304 --> 0:10:11.184 Beyonce and Nashville's Renaissance, and they interviewed a lot of 0:10:11.304 --> 0:10:14.704 black artists and musicians and they were talking about how 0:10:14.904 --> 0:10:18.264 important this album was not just for like Beyonce and 0:10:18.304 --> 0:10:22.664 country music, but also just generating wealth within black musicians 0:10:22.704 --> 0:10:25.744 who do perform country music, like the amount of backgrounds 0:10:25.744 --> 0:10:28.944 in because she's hired banjo plays violinists who are all black, 0:10:29.184 --> 0:10:31.864 who actually had an opportunity to kind of show their 0:10:31.864 --> 0:10:35.144 song and show their music. And it's just such a 0:10:35.224 --> 0:10:38.384 shame because like, by snubbing her at the CMAS, you're 0:10:38.384 --> 0:10:40.224 snubbing an entire group of people. 0:10:40.344 --> 0:10:43.424 Yes, exactly, guess off to see when the CMAS take 0:10:43.464 --> 0:10:45.944 place who actually wins in those categories. But I think 0:10:45.944 --> 0:10:47.544 this is and we should say the time of recording, 0:10:47.624 --> 0:10:50.304 Beyonce hasn't commented, and she won't comment, like she won't. 0:10:50.144 --> 0:10:51.464 She's done it. She knows exactly. 0:10:51.544 --> 0:10:53.424 Yeah, she knows what we're saying. But I think it 0:10:53.464 --> 0:10:54.984 just goes to show that even like one of the 0:10:55.024 --> 0:10:57.384 most powerful, successful women in the world can still be 0:10:57.784 --> 0:11:00.184 pushed out of a category because her work isn't seen 0:11:00.224 --> 0:11:03.464 as worthy. 0:11:05.384 --> 0:11:05.904 What d. 0:11:08.064 --> 0:11:11.784 So you might have seen online there have been some 0:11:11.864 --> 0:11:15.704 photos circulating of Taylor. Firstly, there's photos of her and 0:11:15.784 --> 0:11:17.704 her partner Travis Kelcey. I'm not talking about this photus. 0:11:17.744 --> 0:11:18.584 We already talked about those. 0:11:18.704 --> 0:11:19.984 Oh, we talked to those in depth. 0:11:20.304 --> 0:11:23.664 I'm talking about a photo of her embracing a woman 0:11:23.944 --> 0:11:27.424 named Brittany Mahomes. Have we talked about Brittany Mahomes. 0:11:27.584 --> 0:11:28.344 I don't think we have. 0:11:28.504 --> 0:11:32.264 And, like everything else to do with this sport in America, 0:11:32.344 --> 0:11:34.104 like many other people in the world, I wasn't aware 0:11:34.184 --> 0:11:36.544 that all of these people existed until the whole Taylor 0:11:36.624 --> 0:11:39.664 Swift fandom kind of merged with the NFL. 0:11:39.944 --> 0:11:42.544 But I do know that she is the wife of. 0:11:42.744 --> 0:11:46.104 Patrick Patrick Mahomes, who is the star quarterback. That's the 0:11:46.224 --> 0:11:49.984 start I think that's the right word, like the quarterback. 0:11:49.624 --> 0:11:52.464 Is the start star and the team of the Chiefs. 0:11:52.144 --> 0:11:55.064 Yes, the Chiefs that Travis Kelcey also plays. 0:11:54.784 --> 0:11:57.944 And they acquired a famous couple right their lifestyle. They've 0:11:57.944 --> 0:12:01.584 got this kind of glam going on, rich beautiful people. 0:12:01.904 --> 0:12:04.144 One of their kids is named Bronze. I don't know 0:12:04.224 --> 0:12:07.064 that Bronze and Sterling, I do believe. And I know 0:12:07.144 --> 0:12:08.864 she's having another baby, So which I want her to 0:12:08.864 --> 0:12:09.904 call a Copper or something? 0:12:10.464 --> 0:12:12.744 Maybe? Yeah, yeah, Copper's such a good one. 0:12:12.744 --> 0:12:15.304 Actually, this is the information, Like I haven't sought out 0:12:15.304 --> 0:12:18.584 this information, This is the information that permeated my mind 0:12:19.064 --> 0:12:21.704 since the NFL became part of the Taylor Swift Show. 0:12:21.704 --> 0:12:25.504 Anyway continued, So, yes, so Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelcey play 0:12:25.544 --> 0:12:28.184 for the Chiefs together. They're also very close friends, which 0:12:28.224 --> 0:12:32.264 is why Britney Mahomes, Patrick's wife and Taylor Swift, Travis 0:12:32.384 --> 0:12:35.584 Kelsey's partner, how also friends. So they're friends by proxy 0:12:35.704 --> 0:12:39.464 and from photos and like them hanging out, it started 0:12:39.464 --> 0:12:41.864 to look like they became like really close, Like I 0:12:41.904 --> 0:12:44.024 think she was part of Taylor's girl gang. 0:12:44.184 --> 0:12:47.064 Yes, all those photos started coming out months ago of 0:12:47.104 --> 0:12:49.224 Taylor Swift out and about New York after it was 0:12:49.224 --> 0:12:51.784 confirmed she was dating Travis Kelsey and Brittany was in 0:12:51.824 --> 0:12:54.184 a lot of those photos, sometimes like holding hands with 0:12:54.224 --> 0:12:56.024 Taylor Swift, and then I was like, she's in. 0:12:56.024 --> 0:12:58.184 She's in, she's in. They've been going to the games 0:12:58.184 --> 0:13:02.744 together previously. It's been all good. So what has happened now? 0:13:02.784 --> 0:13:04.824 I'm going to take you through a bit of a timeline. 0:13:04.904 --> 0:13:09.344 Great is that Donald Trump posted on Instagram a tile 0:13:09.864 --> 0:13:12.544 that has all the things he wants to do when 0:13:12.584 --> 0:13:15.504 he becomes president. So the title of it was the 0:13:16.224 --> 0:13:19.824 twenty twenty four GOP platform Make America Great Again, And 0:13:19.864 --> 0:13:21.784 in it was like a list of everything that he's 0:13:21.824 --> 0:13:24.304 going to do, so stuff like steal the border and 0:13:24.344 --> 0:13:28.864 stop the migrant invasion, carry out the largest deportation operation 0:13:28.984 --> 0:13:32.864 in American history, keep men out of women's sport, like 0:13:33.384 --> 0:13:37.864 just Donald Trump's staff. Basically, our friend Brittany liked that 0:13:37.984 --> 0:13:43.144 post and then unliked it. Oh, I mean, but because 0:13:43.144 --> 0:13:46.704 she was in with Taylor Swift and Taylorswift fans know 0:13:46.824 --> 0:13:49.184 everything that's going on. So I think what Taylorswoft fans 0:13:49.184 --> 0:13:51.424 do is that the minute someone is friends with Taylorswift, 0:13:51.464 --> 0:13:54.224 they also become big fans and are obsessed with that person. 0:13:54.544 --> 0:13:57.824 So everyone caught on on the like unlike. She then 0:13:57.944 --> 0:14:01.584 posted on her Instagram stories. I mean, honestly, to be 0:14:01.664 --> 0:14:03.824 a hater as an adult, you have to have some 0:14:03.904 --> 0:14:07.304 deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There's 0:14:07.344 --> 0:14:09.824 no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate 0:14:09.864 --> 0:14:11.144 to see others doing well. 0:14:11.224 --> 0:14:13.144 Oh my god, I've seen so many people I follow 0:14:13.224 --> 0:14:16.024 have been reposting that ridiculous quote lately. 0:14:16.144 --> 0:14:17.584 Is that where it's coming from? From Retain? 0:14:17.624 --> 0:14:21.784 I think that's where it's coming from. So because she 0:14:21.904 --> 0:14:24.144 liked and unliked it, it wasn't that big of a deal. 0:14:24.184 --> 0:14:25.944 It is really weird, but not that big of a deal. 0:14:26.104 --> 0:14:28.184 She then posted because I guess she could say, did 0:14:28.264 --> 0:14:29.944 she just you know how someone's just calling the Instagram 0:14:29.984 --> 0:14:32.544 you actually liked it? Oh god, yeah, all quick now 0:14:32.584 --> 0:14:37.344 because yeah, yeah, pfile, Yes, I think maybe that could 0:14:37.344 --> 0:14:39.624 have been the issue. But then she posted a photo 0:14:39.624 --> 0:14:44.824 of herself. Someone commented Trump Vance twenty twenty four three 0:14:44.864 --> 0:14:48.024 American flags, and she liked that comment and you don't 0:14:48.024 --> 0:14:49.824 now on Instagram you can see because it says liked 0:14:49.864 --> 0:14:50.304 by author. 0:14:50.544 --> 0:14:52.784 Yeah so and she did not like it, so that's 0:14:52.824 --> 0:14:53.224 still there. 0:14:53.304 --> 0:14:54.744 So she meant to do it. It was a mistake. 0:14:54.824 --> 0:14:57.504 Yeah, it wasn't a mistake. She then posted a tweet 0:14:57.544 --> 0:15:00.424 someone else's tweet on her Instagram stories with the caption 0:15:00.664 --> 0:15:04.064 read that again, and the tweet said, contrary to the 0:15:04.064 --> 0:15:07.024 tone of the world today, you can disagree with someone 0:15:07.064 --> 0:15:09.664 and still love them. You can have differing views and 0:15:09.784 --> 0:15:10.824 still be kind. 0:15:11.624 --> 0:15:14.744 Then ol Man Donald. 0:15:14.504 --> 0:15:18.784 Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. So 0:15:18.984 --> 0:15:20.864 I'm not on that platform, so it took me. 0:15:20.784 --> 0:15:22.584 A while at this Do you have an account? 0:15:22.624 --> 0:15:22.784 Now? 0:15:22.784 --> 0:15:23.304 You signed up? 0:15:23.944 --> 0:15:26.024 Not signed up? I went through all the avenues to 0:15:26.024 --> 0:15:28.104 do it where I didn't have to sign up. He said. 0:15:28.584 --> 0:15:32.064 I want to thank beautiful Brittany maharme No for so 0:15:32.144 --> 0:15:35.544 strongly defending me and the fact that Make America Great 0:15:35.584 --> 0:15:38.624 Again is the greatest and most powerful political movement in 0:15:38.664 --> 0:15:43.944 the history of our now failing country. What a great couple. 0:15:43.944 --> 0:15:45.184 See you both at the super Bowl. 0:15:45.984 --> 0:15:46.464 Wow. 0:15:46.824 --> 0:15:48.264 I don't know what to say about this, because I 0:15:48.264 --> 0:15:50.184 didn't expect Donal Donald Trump to actually be well. 0:15:50.184 --> 0:15:52.264 Of course he is. Of course he's involved in that. 0:15:52.344 --> 0:15:54.384 He would love to know that this woman who's seen 0:15:54.424 --> 0:15:56.984 this is like this, like glamorous woman that up until 0:15:56.984 --> 0:15:58.664 now so many people in America love. 0:15:58.664 --> 0:16:01.504 And directly adjacent to Taylor Swift. Yeah, exactly, the most 0:16:01.504 --> 0:16:04.464 powerful people in America who could swing so many votes. 0:16:04.264 --> 0:16:06.144 Exactly that he thinks that she's on her side. I 0:16:06.184 --> 0:16:08.064 wonder if Brittany Mahomes is seeing that and being like, oh, 0:16:08.144 --> 0:16:10.064 I just like to comment. I didn't mean for Donald 0:16:10.064 --> 0:16:12.224 Trump to make a statement about that. 0:16:12.624 --> 0:16:16.424 The interesting thing because she hasn't commented after made that course, 0:16:16.864 --> 0:16:19.944 and so we thought that this was okay because Taylor 0:16:19.984 --> 0:16:22.344 Swift was spotted at the Chiefs game by herself. Yes, 0:16:22.504 --> 0:16:24.664 so I think you can memorize the outfit, like the 0:16:24.784 --> 0:16:29.104 full denim, the big boots, star high boots. Usually she 0:16:29.424 --> 0:16:32.304 was seen with her like kind of posse, Brittany Mahomes 0:16:32.304 --> 0:16:34.184 and her family. She was always in the same booth 0:16:34.184 --> 0:16:37.904 as them all the time. Brittany Mahomes was at that game, 0:16:37.944 --> 0:16:40.224 but in a different booth. So we thought that was 0:16:40.224 --> 0:16:42.464 like Taylor Swift saying I've cut friendships, so we I'm 0:16:42.504 --> 0:16:45.144 not friends with this girl. And that's what leads us 0:16:45.184 --> 0:16:49.264 into the US Open where she publicly embraces Brittany in 0:16:49.304 --> 0:16:52.104 front of everyone to see and all the cameras and 0:16:52.584 --> 0:16:56.624 his beautiful high definition shots, so those rumors are put 0:16:56.664 --> 0:16:59.784 to rest. She's basically saying, I'm still friends with this woman. 0:17:00.104 --> 0:17:04.744 And it's just kind of unfortunate because up until now 0:17:04.744 --> 0:17:08.624 we've been constantly talking about and kind of discussing whether 0:17:08.824 --> 0:17:12.704 or whether or not Taylor Swift will publicly endorse Kamla Harris. Yeah, 0:17:13.224 --> 0:17:15.984 and I have to say, I'm not invested in US 0:17:16.104 --> 0:17:19.264 politics and Taylor Swift as separate entities, but I am 0:17:19.304 --> 0:17:20.744 really invested in it together. 0:17:21.104 --> 0:17:24.144 Well. Yeah, she's an incredibly influential person. Like that's the 0:17:24.144 --> 0:17:26.864 thing is, like so many times with musicians or actors 0:17:26.864 --> 0:17:28.624 and that sort of thing, you think, like, oh, should 0:17:28.624 --> 0:17:30.864 these people who are there to like make art and 0:17:30.984 --> 0:17:33.664 entertain us, should we be looking to them for like 0:17:33.944 --> 0:17:37.224 political guidance? And I think sometimes maybe not if they 0:17:37.224 --> 0:17:39.464 don't comment on it. It's okay, but it is unfortunate 0:17:39.504 --> 0:17:41.264 for Taylor Swift. Or also fortunate when you look at 0:17:41.264 --> 0:17:43.944 the fact that she's built this empire for herself, is 0:17:43.984 --> 0:17:46.264 that she's not just a musician or an actress. She 0:17:46.384 --> 0:17:49.184 is like one of the most influential people in the world, 0:17:49.544 --> 0:17:52.664 potentially the most influential person in America. Now, like that 0:17:52.824 --> 0:17:55.464 sounds like a ridiculous statement, but I'm sure it's true. 0:17:55.504 --> 0:17:59.944 It is true, and so everything she does matters, and 0:18:00.104 --> 0:18:02.864 what she thinks and says about politics matters as well, 0:18:02.904 --> 0:18:04.824 because the thing is, I'm sure a lot of her 0:18:04.824 --> 0:18:07.544 followers potentially might be thinking, like, I wouldn't vote for 0:18:07.584 --> 0:18:09.864 Donald Trump, but if she came out and endorsed him, 0:18:09.864 --> 0:18:12.144 which don't think she would do that, but if the 0:18:12.144 --> 0:18:13.944 thing is, if she did, she would swing the vote. 0:18:13.944 --> 0:18:16.744 Like that just is something that would happen, and so 0:18:16.984 --> 0:18:18.744 it is kind of interesting. I don't think we live 0:18:18.784 --> 0:18:20.424
