Taylor Swift Says She Collapsed Into Travis Kelce's Arms When She Learned She Got Her Masters Back, ‘Bawling My Eyes Out'
Taylor Swift still gets emotional when she thinks about the moment she reclaimed her master recordings after years of working to do so, as evidenced by her appearance on Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast. In the episode posted Wednesday (Aug. 13), the pop star teared up while recalling how she collapsed into her boyfriend's arms after receiving the news, which the world would only learn in May when Swift announced that she'd purchased the rights to her first six albums from Shamrock Holdings in a letter on her website. It was a big moment for both the star and her fanbase, as the 14-time Grammy winner had been vocal about her devastation with the initial sale of her masters to Scooter Braun in 2019 — which she said 'ripped my heart out of my chest' on New Heights — shortly after which it changed hands again to Shamrock.

'I thought about not owning my music every day … it was like an intrusive thought.' According to Swift, it wasn't members of her team who negotiated the deal with Shamrock — it was her mom, Andrea, and her brother, Austin. Andrea was also the one who broke the news that they'd closed the deal with the investment company in an emotional phone call with her daughter. 'She was like, 'You got your music,' and I literally hit the floor,' Swift said. 'Bawling my eyes out, just weeping.' At first unable to believe that the news was real, the 14-time Grammy winner says she eventually went into another room, where Kelce was obliviously playing video games. 'I'm like, 'Just go tell Travis in a normal way,'' she said, cracking up at the memory of how her voice broke as soon as she started speaking to the Kansas City Chiefs star, despite trying to keep her composure. Swift added that her boyfriend immediately ditched his console and wrapped her in his arms, at which point she started 'absolutely heaving.' Kelce admitted that he was also 'weeping' in the moment, noting that his superstar girlfriend was 'just dead weight' in his arms. Elsewhere on the podcast, Swift shared more details about her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which she announced Tuesday (Aug. 12) via a teaser clip from her guest New Heights episode. Arriving Oct. 3, the LP will mark her first full-length since reclaiming her masters three months ago. Though fans are hopeful that they'll still get a re-release for Swift's debut album — and possibly even Vault tracks for the never-finished Reputation (Taylor's Version) — the purchase of her masters also marked something of an end to her yearslong re-recording project. Over the past six years, the musician has released revamped versions of Fearless, Speak Now, Red and 1989, which Swift said on New Heights was a process she 'defiantly' decided to embark on. While re-recording her albums, Swift said on New Heights that she was able to fall back in love with one of them. 'Red was very special,' she said, noting that Vault track 'All Too Well (10 Minute Version)' is 'maybe my favorite song I've ever written.' 'I've always loved Fearless and 1989 in a very pure way,' she added. 'Red I've always gone back and forth … but the re-record really made me love that album.'

Carly Pearce 'hard launches' new romance with entrepreneur Jordan Karcher
Carly Pearce went Instagram official with her new boyfriend, entrepreneur Jordan Karcher, last Friday. The 35-year-old Grammy winner - who boasts 2.5M social media followers - captioned her loved-up snap: 'I guess this is what the kids call a "hard launch" these days…' Jordan is the founder/CEO of a startup called Eileen, an app that helps CPG retailers scale while maintaining oversight of products in physical stores. Karcher is a proud papa to two rescued fur babies - 14-year-old Dalmatian Molly and five-year-old Pit Bull Jazz. It was Molly who inspired Jordan to create Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. in 2013 while enrolled at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business. The coffee company, which donates 20% of profits to dog rescue organizations, was acquired by a private equity group in 2018. The 35-year-old Grammy winner - who boasts 2.5M social media followers - captioned her loved-up snap: 'I guess this is what the kids call a "hard launch" these days…' Jordan earned his MBA in 2015 after receiving a BA in international business from Florida International University's College of Business in 2009 - according to LinkedIn. Karcher marks Carly's first public relationship since ending her year-long fling with her former drummer, BC Taylor. 'With therapy and lots of trials and errors, it's taken me all of the last three years to get to a place where I look at love and be optimistic about it,' Pearce (born Slusser) told People in June of last year. 'Because I lived in fear and realized I hadn't really dealt with my own demons around what happened to me.' The Kentucky-born country crooner continued: 'But now that I've had a failed marriage and a failed relationship in the spotlight, I have learned we keep this one very quiet.' Carly is not ashamed of making her career a priority over having children: 'I am really okay if children do not happen for me, meaning this is what I've wanted more. My career is what I dreamt of.' In June 2023, Pearce ended her two-year relationship with minor league baseball player-turned-realtor Riley King. In June 2020, the Truck on Fire singer ended her eight-month marriage to fellow musician Michael Ray, who has since moved on with The Hills alum Audrina Patridge. 'It was awful. I mean, I'm being completely honest with you, that it was so embarrassing. It was so shameful,' Carly told Us Weekly in 2021 of her divorce. 'I felt like I had failed. I felt like…I would never find love again because I was divorced at so young, and [I] was just embarrassed.' Pearce - who gets 3.3M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to perform this Saturday at Park Hogs for Hospice held at Seacliff in Leamington, Canada.
