Taylor Swift Today

Taylor Swift's concert film went zero for five at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 5 — and she wasn't in the room. Instead she was on the East Coast, out to dinner with Travis Kelce the following night in a Stella McCartney dress that Stella herself posted about. Lyla gets into what that choice says, plus the Oscar campaign that's quietly starting, an entire genus of insects named Swiftiephylus, and Alanis Morissette on why the most-loved artists catch the most criticism. 

🏆 The Eras Tour: The Final Show lost all five: Variety Special (Pre-Recorded), Directing, Picture Editing, Sound Mixing, and Technical Direction and Camerawork. The Muppet Show took Variety Special.

🎬 Director Glenn Weiss was double-nominated — he also directed the 78th Tony Awards.

🎤 Next up: an expected Oscar campaign for "I Knew It, I Knew You" from Toy Story 5.

👗 Stella McCartney called seeing Taylor in the design "an amazing early birthday gift."

🐛 Researchers in Australia named a new genus Swiftiephylus, with species honoring Taylor, Lover, Fearless and The Tortured Poets Department.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a dog, and after more than a year of keeping her under wraps, Wendy has arrived — a white Samoyed who made her public debut lounging on a sofa at the Plaza Hotel in Tommy Hilfiger's Fall 2026 campaign. Travis confirmed her name on New Heights and told Vogue she "crushed it." Lyla gets into the reveal, the name theories, and what Travis has now said about the wedding two months on, including why a thousand guests at Madison Square Garden still felt intimate. Below the fold: 🐕 Wendy is a little over a year old. When Hilfiger's team floated casting a dog, Travis volunteered his own — "we figured, why not her?" She appears alongside Carmelo Anthony, Frances Tiafoe, Jisoo, Gigi Hadid and Peggy Gou.

📸 The secret nearly held. Travis says they "got sniped at the airport" — paparazzi caught Wendy coming off their jet.

💍 Travis on the wedding: no phones allowed, so everyone was present. He thanked Adam Sandler for getting ordained in New York to officiate, "Sand-man style."

Taylor Swift gave her first performance since marrying Travis Kelce, and she did it at the Grammy Museum's Icon Sessions — a twenty-year retrospective, a long conversation with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., and then a surprise mashup at the flower-painted piano from the Eras Tour. She wove "I Knew It, I Knew You" from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack into "August" and "All Too Well," and reworked both endings so they landed somewhere hopeful instead of where they usually land. Lyla gets into what that means, plus the green dress that has Swifties convinced her re-recorded debut is close.

🎹 The performance was recorded August 18 at the Clive Davis Theater and released on YouTube August 24. Fewer than 200 people were in the room.

💚 The dress is Dôen's Nelida in "green jasper" — 1930s-inspired, cascading ruffles, crimson floral at the shoulder. Fans and outlets have linked the shade to the seafoam gown from her "Teardrops on My Guitar" era.

📅 Her self-titled debut turns 20 on October 24. She confirmed in a May 2025 letter that the re-recording is finished. No release date has been announced.

🏀 Caitlin Clark debuts a "Friendship Bracelet" colorway of her Nike signature shoe, inspired by the Eras Tour trend.

🕊️ Nashville is still mourning Dolly Parton, and Taylor talked about feeling more loyal than ever to her country roots.

Dolly Parton died Tuesday in Nashville at 80, after what her representatives called a brief battle with cancer. Her nephew, Bryan Seaver, announced it in a video on her official Instagram; her team said she spent her life bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity to everything she touched. This week's episode sets the usual show aside. Lyla looks at what Dolly meant to Taylor Swift specifically — the Nashville songwriter who kept her publishing, ran her own business, and made it possible for a girl with a guitar and a notebook to imagine doing the same. Dolly turned down Elvis rather than give up half of "I Will Always Love You." Decades later, Taylor re-recorded six albums to get hers back. And one more thing, which nobody could have known at the time. A few weeks ago Taylor and Travis gave $2 million to Dolly's Imagination Library, and Dolly answered with a video — thanking them, making a joke, and singing a line of her most famous song. It turned out to be one of her last public moments. Taylor's full tribute is on her Instagram, and it's worth reading in her own words.

Taylor Swift is one win away from becoming the most-awarded artist in VMA history. She picked up nine nominations for the 2026 Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year and Artist of the Year, and she's currently tied with Beyoncé at 30 career wins — so a single Moon Person on September 27 breaks the tie for good. Lyla gets into the numbers, plus Dolly Parton's video thank-you for the $2 million the couple gave her Imagination Library, and Taylor's first Instagram post in over a month, which turned out not to be about her at all.

🏆 Nine nominations, second only to Madonna's eleven. Fan voting is open through September 25; the show airs live September 27 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on CBS and MTV.

📚 Dolly Parton posts a video thanking Taylor and Travis for their gift to the Imagination Library and jokes she'd like to have their firstborn.
