Okay, it's been awhile since I've reported on Taylor Swift. My girls are not fans. In fact, Steph has sort of forbidden me to talk about her. So they can just stop reading right now!
When I found out about the big announcement that was going to be on the New Heights podcast--Jason and Travis Kelcey's show--I just had to listen! Honestly, it gave me entertainment for 3 of my morning walks--it was 2 hours long and so much fun!
Of course, the big announcement was the fact that Taylor is releasing a new album on October 3rd. The girl is just unbelievable! She wrote the music while on the Eras tour! What? Yes, as if she wasn't exhausted enough. She did work with a writing partner, but still, it was a lot of work.
And then this summer, her dad had quadruple by-pass surgery. She spent the whole summer with her family! Kudos to her for putting her family first!
I just had to know what her appearance on the New Heights podcast did for the show. Here are a few facts:
1. Jason and Travis were never going to ask her.
2. She asked to be on the show to make the big announcement.
3. The podcast broke all YouTube records with 1.3M listeners on the first day it came out.
4. Another record of 18.5M listeners over the next few days.
5. The podcast has the highest number for the entire year so far.
6. New Heights got 400,000 new subscribers--another record. That doesn't even count people like me who listened, but didn't subscribe!
7. This podcast increased female viewership (listenership?) of New Heights by 600%!!!
8. The podcast surpassed 3M followers on Instagram!
A few more facts about the Taylor Swift machine:
1. The Eras tour grossed 2B$--the highest grossing concert of all time by double!
2. The film made 261.6M$--highest revenue of all time for a concert film--surpassing the previous record holder--Michael Jackson.
3. More big news: Taylor was able to buy back her original masters for 360M$.
4. The new album coming out October 3rd will cost $29.99 for vinyl, $19.99 for the cassette and $12.99 for the CD.
5. Pre-sale for the special edition sparkly albums are already sold out!
The girl is magic. Everything she touches turns to gold. I know there are many people waiting to see her fall. I just hope she remains sweet and humble for years to come! I am definitely still a fan!!
Yes, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are still in communication and are working to mend their friendship after a period of strain caused by Swift being drawn into Lively's legal dispute with director Justin Baldoni in late 2024 and early 2025. While their friendship is not currently the same as it was before the lawsuit, they are reportedly "on good terms" and have taken steps to recover from the incident.
