Over a dozen sources who spoke to Variety said that A-listers, executives and musicians invited to Taylor Swift's wedding have been “flying blind” with minimal details on the wedding’s theme or dress code:
• Many were told to be in New York City by the morning of July 3 and await further details, three sources said. Some bold names have asked their stylists to pull evening looks from major designer showrooms with no guidance on the vibe of the event.
• “We’ve had a lot of requests for talent attending,” a fashion publicist who handles VIP services for several luxury houses told Variety. “No one has said explicitly whose wedding they are attending, but we all know.”
• One guest had to overpay to reserve their desired hair and makeup team for a full 24 hours surrounding the wedding, or else lose them to other high-profile people in the know. “It’s a really fun shit show,” the guest told Variety.

Aaron Dessner mentioning Taylor in a recent interview 🫶
“Taylor.. I’ve kicked a soccer ball with her too, she’s athletic actually, so she probably would love it if one of her songs ended up as some anthem out there.”
“She’s more of a center back, we were just kicking with my kids back in the folklore days and it was fun.”
Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You” is expected to earn 400+ chart points on the Billboard Hot 100 for the second week in a row.
The last single to do this was Taylor’s own “The Fate of Ophelia”.
Personally, I’ve made the decision to give all of my employees June 19th off in honor of Freedom Day from now on, and to continue to educate myself on the history that brought us to this present moment.
Taylor Swift’s return to country music with “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Toy Story 5 could earn her first Oscar nomination.
The song was instantly added at all 157 Mediabase-reporting country radio stations, a feat achieved only three times before and never by a female artist. A nomination could also be a major win for the Oscars, with Swift’s attendance and potential performance likely to draw millions of additional viewers. (Via Variety)
“TOY STORY 5” and “I Knew It, I Knew You” are on track to simultaneously become America’s #1 movie and #1 song, a level of cultural dominance not seen since Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” release week.
