Speaker 1: were tainted because of barrister turned informer Nicola Gobbo. Miss Gobo,

61
00:03:17,894 --> 00:03:20,214

68
00:03:38,094 --> 00:03:41,414
Speaker 1: miscarriage of justice because he was misled and deceived for

69
00:03:41,574 --> 00:03:44,694
Speaker 1: years before pleading guilty to drug offenses in twenty eleven.

71
00:03:47,814 --> 00:03:51,254

00:03:51,334 --> 00:03:54,454

Speaker 1: Cdney Morning Herald back in twenty twenty that when she

78
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:12,574
Speaker 1: was alone and single, fame became a lot harder, but

79
00:04:12,654 --> 00:04:14,614
Speaker 1: said she was lucky her sister would fly to be

80
00:04:14,694 --> 00:04:17,134

82
00:04:19,174 --> 00:04:22,414
Speaker 1: all that scrutiny by herself, and Tonia has been staying

83
00:04:22,414 --> 00:04:24,614
Speaker 1: with Nicole while the news of her split from Keith

84

Speaker 1: they are or what they're doing in their lives.

129
00:06:46,774 --> 00:06:49,574

130
00:06:49,574 --> 00:06:52,254

152
00:07:53,454 --> 00:07:55,054
Speaker 3: being a Swifty if you live in Australia is that

153
00:07:55,054 --> 00:07:57,494
Speaker 3: there's a lot of mathematics involved and as someone who

154
00:07:57,574 --> 00:08:00,174
Speaker 3: does work in you know, media and a creative space,

155
00:08:00,254 --> 00:08:02,294
Speaker 3: math is not my strong suit. And when you add

156
00:08:02,294 --> 00:08:04,134
Speaker 3: on top of that the daylight Savings is going to

157
00:08:04,174 --> 00:08:06,294
Speaker 3: happen in the middle of this album roll out here

158

Speaker 3: in Sydney. That was a complicated mess, but I've done

159
00:08:08,734 --> 00:08:10,814
Speaker 3: all the hard work for all of the QUICKI listeners.

160
00:08:10,894 --> 00:08:13,014
Speaker 3: So what you need to know is that today at

161
00:08:13,054 --> 00:08:16,814
Speaker 3: two pm Australian Eastern Standard time, the album will drop.

162
00:08:17,174 --> 00:08:20,454
Speaker 3: So there's already, you know, countdowns on Spotify, all of

163
00:08:20,454 --> 00:08:23,054
Speaker 3: this craziness happening. Everyone's keeping an eye out. If you

164
00:08:23,094 --> 00:08:25,454
Speaker 3: open up your Spotify or Apple Music, wherever you listen,

165
00:08:25,654 --> 00:08:28,054
Speaker 3: you'll be able to hear at two pm Australian Eastern

166
00:08:28,134 --> 00:08:32,094
Speaker 3: Standard time. She's actually already set a record, so it's

167
00:08:32,134 --> 00:08:34,894
Speaker 3: the first album to exceed five million, pre says on

168
00:08:34,934 --> 00:08:38,574
Speaker 3: Spotify's countdown page, breaking her own previous record from the

169
00:08:38,614 --> 00:08:40,494
Speaker 3: Tortured Poets Department last year.

170
00:08:40,814 --> 00:08:41,574
Speaker 2: There's also quite a.

171
00:08:41,574 --> 00:08:44,534
Speaker 3: Few records that she stands to break today and this weekend.

172
00:08:44,654 --> 00:08:46,894
Speaker 3: So if the album goes to number one in the US,

173
00:08:46,934 --> 00:08:49,054
Speaker 3: she will break her tie with Jay Z and Drake

174
00:08:49,134 --> 00:08:51,814
Speaker 3: to become the artist with the most number one albums

175
00:08:51,814 --> 00:08:54,454
Speaker 3: for a solo artist, which would be fifteen. She would

176
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:57,134
Speaker 3: also tie the record of the Beatles and become only

177
00:08:57,134 --> 00:08:59,734
Speaker 3: the second artist in history to reach number one for

178
00:08:59,814 --> 00:09:02,374
Speaker 3: seven consecutive years in a row, which would be twenty

179
00:09:02,494 --> 00:09:06,134
Speaker 3: nineteen to twenty twenty five, which is just absolutely massive.

180
00:09:06,134 --> 00:09:08,254
Speaker 3: That she's playing in this kind of space that she's

181
00:09:08,334 --> 00:09:10,374
Speaker 3: tying with the Beatles pot Tent, so we'll have to

182
00:09:10,414 --> 00:09:12,214
Speaker 3: keep an eye out for that once the album drops.

183
00:09:12,374 --> 00:09:13,054
Speaker 2: And the other is.

184
00:09:13,054 --> 00:09:14,534
Speaker 3: That you know here in Australia, if she goes to

185
00:09:14,614 --> 00:09:16,614
Speaker 3: number one, she would extend her record as the female

186
00:09:16,694 --> 00:09:19,094
Speaker 3: artist with the most number one albums in Australia and

187
00:09:19,134 --> 00:09:20,894
Speaker 3: it could be her fourteenth number one in the country.

188
00:09:20,974 --> 00:09:24,174
Speaker 3: Because we do we love Taylor. So yeah, two pm

189
00:09:24,214 --> 00:09:26,574
Speaker 3: today Australians a standard everyone needs to look out. But

190
00:09:26,614 --> 00:09:29,534
Speaker 3: then there is also a whole rollout plan that everyone

191
00:09:29,534 --> 00:09:33,494
Speaker 3: can look forward to. Saturday at five am Australian Eastern

192
00:09:33,534 --> 00:09:36,014
Speaker 3: Standard Time, there is the premiere of the official release

193
00:09:36,054 --> 00:09:37,134
Speaker 3: of the Life of a show Girl.

194
00:09:37,414 --> 00:09:38,734
Speaker 2: This is a movie that's being.

195
00:09:38,614 --> 00:09:42,334
Speaker 3: Released in Australian cinemas across the nation this weekend. Only

196
00:09:42,374 --> 00:09:44,454
Speaker 3: this weekend though, so that's the big deal. So this

197
00:09:44,694 --> 00:09:48,894
Speaker 3: is like a music video extravag ganza, which is kind

198
00:09:48,894 --> 00:09:51,094
Speaker 3: of a little bit strange. I guess for some people

199
00:09:51,174 --> 00:09:53,574
Speaker 3: that she would have a movie come out that just

200
00:09:53,614 --> 00:09:55,614
Speaker 3: has music videos, but there's a little more to it

201
00:09:55,654 --> 00:09:57,734
Speaker 3: than that. So she used to host these things called

202
00:09:57,774 --> 00:10:00,134
Speaker 3: secret sessions with fans, they would come to her house

203
00:10:00,214 --> 00:10:02,574
Speaker 3: or come to a special place and they would look

204
00:10:02,574 --> 00:10:04,934
Speaker 3: at it together and like she would break down why

205
00:10:04,974 --> 00:10:06,854
Speaker 3: she made a song the way she made it, what

206
00:10:07,014 --> 00:10:09,134
Speaker 3: was involved in creating a music video, you know, the

207
00:10:09,174 --> 00:10:12,294
Speaker 3: inspira behind things. So she's kind of taking that concept

208
00:10:12,294 --> 00:10:14,054
Speaker 3: and put it into a film now that the whole

209
00:10:14,054 --> 00:10:16,014
Speaker 3: world can enjoy. So it'll be a little bit of

210
00:10:16,014 --> 00:10:17,814
Speaker 3: a strange experience because part of it will just be

211
00:10:17,934 --> 00:10:20,734
Speaker 3: music videos, her talking to the screen by herself. It

212
00:10:20,814 --> 00:10:23,254
Speaker 3: might be a little bit odd, but also really nice

213
00:10:23,254 --> 00:10:25,374
Speaker 3: for the Swifties. So you know, not everyone's going to

214
00:10:25,414 --> 00:10:27,734
Speaker 3: see that, but that will be at five am. Then

215
00:10:27,774 --> 00:10:30,854
Speaker 3: at seven forty am on Saturday, she's going on the

216
00:10:30,854 --> 00:10:32,134
Speaker 3: Graham Norton Show in the.

217
00:10:32,134 --> 00:10:33,654
Speaker 2: UK, which is a really big deal.

218
00:10:33,854 --> 00:10:35,814
Speaker 3: It's been a long time since she did one of those,

219
00:10:36,014 --> 00:10:38,414
Speaker 3: and the guest list is stacked. My personal favorite is

220
00:10:38,454 --> 00:10:40,854
Speaker 3: I really need to see how Taylor Swift and acclaimed

221
00:10:40,894 --> 00:10:44,494
Speaker 3: Irish actor Killian Murphy interact this. This is huge for me.

222
00:10:44,534 --> 00:10:47,094
Speaker 3: They made this show just for me. Then on Sunday morning,

223
00:10:47,294 --> 00:10:49,774
Speaker 3: our time. There is a really weird note that says

224
00:10:49,814 --> 00:10:52,334
Speaker 3: stand by in her schedule if you know anything about

225
00:10:52,334 --> 00:10:54,374
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift. She's a little bit of a sneak. She

226
00:10:54,454 --> 00:10:56,814
Speaker 3: loves an Easter egg, and it's really weird that in

227
00:10:56,854 --> 00:10:58,854
Speaker 3: this official roll out planned she took the space to

228
00:10:58,854 --> 00:11:01,534
Speaker 3: write the words stand by. So people are theorizing that

229
00:11:01,574 --> 00:11:03,654
Speaker 3: this could be a couple of things. One of the

230
00:11:03,734 --> 00:11:06,814
Speaker 3: things is that Sabrina Carpenter, who is a collab, the

231
00:11:06,854 --> 00:11:10,094
Speaker 3: only collab on this album, is performing at a festival

232
00:11:10,134 --> 00:11:12,614
Speaker 3: on Saturday evening in the US, which is Sunday morning

233
00:11:12,614 --> 00:11:15,054
Speaker 3: our time here in Ustadia. So people think that Taylor

234
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:18,094
Speaker 3: might make a surprise appearance at the festival, which would

235
00:11:18,174 --> 00:11:20,734
Speaker 3: just be wild. She's not a festival girlie. We never

236
00:11:20,774 --> 00:11:23,254
Speaker 3: see this, so this would be absolutely crazy. The other

237
00:11:23,294 --> 00:11:25,494
Speaker 3: thing that people think, which sends me into a spiral

238
00:11:25,854 --> 00:11:27,934
Speaker 3: is that she could be releasing tickets, because you know,

239
00:11:28,294 --> 00:11:31,134
Speaker 3: stand by, stand by Q for tickets. It's a little

240
00:11:31,134 --> 00:11:33,374
Speaker 3: bit scary and strange because I think we all have

241
00:11:33,414 --> 00:11:36,614
Speaker 3: trauma from the ticketech wars of the Eraror's tour, but

242
00:11:36,814 --> 00:11:38,694
Speaker 3: we might be about to do it again. Guys, you're

243
00:11:38,694 --> 00:11:41,294
Speaker 3: gonna have to stay tuned over the weekend. There's going

244
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:43,174
Speaker 3: to be you know, I'm sure many surprise drops and

245
00:11:43,214 --> 00:11:46,614
Speaker 3: exciting things. But the schedule continues into next week. On Monday,

246
00:11:46,694 --> 00:11:49,574
Speaker 3: the YouTube videos will premiere after they've been in the cinemas.

247
00:11:49,854 --> 00:11:52,254
Speaker 3: On Tuesdays, she's going on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,

248
00:11:52,574 --> 00:11:54,534
Speaker 3: and then on Thursday she's going on seth Myers, and

249
00:11:54,574 --> 00:11:56,974
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's more and more craziness to come. The

250
00:11:57,054 --> 00:11:59,094
Speaker 3: lead single is The Life of Ophelia, so that will

251
00:11:59,094 --> 00:12:02,374
Speaker 3: also be releasing probably, you know, nationwide on radios this week,

252
00:12:02,414 --> 00:12:04,574
Speaker 3: so if you're hearing it, that's that song. And there's

253
00:12:04,614 --> 00:12:07,654
Speaker 3: also a few more Easter eggs to come. So one

254
00:12:07,694 --> 00:12:10,334
Speaker 3: of the things that people think, and I can't believe

255
00:12:10,334 --> 00:12:13,814
Speaker 3: we're here again, is that she might drop reputation after

256
00:12:13,854 --> 00:12:15,694
Speaker 3: she drops The Life of a show Girl. So if

257
00:12:15,734 --> 00:12:18,854
Speaker 3: you don't remember, Taylor re recorded some of her earlier

258
00:12:18,934 --> 00:12:21,414
Speaker 3: albums because she didn't own the rights to them, and

259
00:12:21,454 --> 00:12:24,654
Speaker 3: it was a long process, and eventually she, throughout this

260
00:12:24,694 --> 00:12:27,374
Speaker 3: process of rerecording earlier this year, was also able to

261
00:12:27,414 --> 00:12:29,934
Speaker 3: buy back her masters and she announced that to the world.

262
00:12:30,254 --> 00:12:31,854
Speaker 3: This is the thing she's been fighting for. And she

263
00:12:31,894 --> 00:12:35,374
Speaker 3: was so happy with that announcement, she said, because there

264
00:12:35,374 --> 00:12:37,974
Speaker 3: were two albums left to re record, one being her

265
00:12:38,014 --> 00:12:41,894
Speaker 3: debut album, one being Reputation, and Reputation is like the

266
00:12:41,974 --> 00:12:44,294
Speaker 3: fan favorite. It's one of the biggest ones and people

267
00:12:44,374 --> 00:12:46,694
Speaker 3: kept guessing when it would drop. When she announced that

268
00:12:47,174 --> 00:12:48,974
Speaker 3: she had brought back her Masters, she said she hadn't

269
00:12:49,014 --> 00:12:51,414
Speaker 3: even started to re record Reputation yet, and she didn't

270
00:12:51,414 --> 00:12:53,334
Speaker 3: even know how because she loves that album and as

271
00:12:53,334 --> 00:12:55,454
Speaker 3: perfect as it is, so she's glad she doesn't have

272
00:12:55,534 --> 00:12:57,454
Speaker 3: to do that now. But she did say that she

273
00:12:57,454 --> 00:13:00,214
Speaker 3: would release the Reputation Vault tracks, which is where she

274
00:13:00,254 --> 00:13:03,414
Speaker 3: releases songs that she recorded or wrote that never made

275
00:13:03,414 --> 00:13:05,814
Speaker 3: it onto the album and she's giving them to the

276
00:13:05,814 --> 00:13:09,174
Speaker 3: fans now. So some people think because of some life

277
00:13:09,174 --> 00:13:11,854
Speaker 3: of a show girl stuff, one being a lot of

278
00:13:11,894 --> 00:13:15,174
Speaker 3: symbolism of purple glitter, which is super important. There's a

279
00:13:15,214 --> 00:13:16,894
Speaker 3: lot of purple glitter showing up in the life of

280
00:13:16,894 --> 00:13:19,814
Speaker 3: a showgirl, and that is really tied to reputation, to

281
00:13:19,854 --> 00:13:22,414
Speaker 3: an outfit that she wore on stage. There's also some

282
00:13:22,454 --> 00:13:24,654
Speaker 3: weird hints about like a city in Germany where she

283
00:13:24,694 --> 00:13:27,534
Speaker 3: performed that they mentioned randomly on the New Heights podcast,

284
00:13:27,854 --> 00:13:29,974
Speaker 3: and when she did that night, she wore a purple

285
00:13:30,014 --> 00:13:32,894
Speaker 3: glitter outfit. It's all really like convoluted, as all Easter

286
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:34,894
Speaker 3: eggs are. But some fans think we're gonna get reputation

287
00:13:34,974 --> 00:13:37,494
Speaker 3: vault tracks after we get the Life of a show Girl.

288
00:13:38,014 --> 00:13:40,454
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure about that one. Another one is

289
00:13:40,454 --> 00:13:42,814
Speaker 3: that there are double exit signs popping up in a

290
00:13:42,814 --> 00:13:45,894
Speaker 3: lot of the promotional content, so people think like, maybe

291
00:13:45,894 --> 00:13:48,214
Speaker 3: there will be a second thing. It's important to note

292
00:13:48,214 --> 00:13:50,694
Speaker 3: that Taylor herself said there are twelve songs in this album.

293
00:13:50,734 --> 00:13:53,374
Speaker 3: I'm not doing anything else. There's no surprise coming. It's

294
00:13:53,414 --> 00:13:56,574
Speaker 3: not happening. However, she then also said on the New

295
00:13:56,574 --> 00:13:58,734
Speaker 3: Heights podcast, this is the kind of album you know

296
00:13:58,734 --> 00:14:00,654
Speaker 3: you're gonna want to listen to it. You're gonna want

297
00:14:00,654 --> 00:14:03,214
Speaker 3: to be like paying attention. And the album comes out

298
00:14:03,254 --> 00:14:06,854
Speaker 3: at midnight her time, and what she said was you're

299
00:14:06,854 --> 00:14:08,814
Speaker 3: gonna want to be like partying and listening and like

300
00:14:08,854 --> 00:14:10,454
Speaker 3: you'll listen to the whole album. You won't even go

301
00:14:10,494 --> 00:14:13,174
Speaker 3: to sleep until four am. And Taylor does not just

302
00:14:13,214 --> 00:14:15,454
Speaker 3: say random things like that. So many fans think that

303
00:14:15,494 --> 00:14:18,174
Speaker 3: at four am their time, which would be afternoon our

304
00:14:18,214 --> 00:14:20,214
Speaker 3: time in the evening, that we will be getting a

305
00:14:20,254 --> 00:14:23,614
Speaker 3: second surprise, whether that's a tour announcement, whether that's just

306
00:14:23,814 --> 00:14:26,454
Speaker 3: music video or merch who could say. But there are

307
00:14:26,454 --> 00:14:28,494
Speaker 3: a lot of fans who think that the double exit

308
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:31,654
Speaker 3: sign and the random four am mentioned mean there's something double.

309
00:14:31,694 --> 00:14:33,854
Speaker 3: There's a double announcement coming, but we'll have to see

310
00:14:33,854 --> 00:14:36,054
Speaker 3: what that is. There are many more Easter eggs and

311
00:14:36,054 --> 00:14:38,574
Speaker 3: silly things being revealed at the moment. You know, lyrics

312
00:14:38,614 --> 00:14:41,254
