Taylor Swift was caught in Donald Trump’s sights Monday, deemed “NO LONGER HOT” by the president for a second time as he took to social media Monday with his thoughts on “Anyone But You” actress Sydney Sweeney’s newly-revealed status as a registered Republican.
What does that have to do with the 14-time Grammy winner, you ask? Keep reading for all the details.
Taylor Swift’s director reveals there’s a music video for ‘King of My Heart’ — and why she decided to scrap it
There’s a secret she was hoping, dreaming, dying to keep.
Joseph Kahn, who has directed eight Taylor Swift music videos and “one commercial,” revealed on a recent episode of the Ourselves podcast not only that “King of My Heart” was originally planned as the second single off 2017’s “reputation” album — but also why it was never finished.
Kahn, who met the global superstar in 2014, told the podcast host there was a ninth video he’d worked on for the singer, but it was later “scrapped.”

“We never finished it because [Swift] switched gears in the middle of it to do ‘…Ready For It,'” the director explained.
“We actually shot for King of My Heart. [It was] this sort of very conceptual thing. And then she decided ‘…Ready For It’ was a better single and just decided to go that way instead.”
Kahn said it was a “completely shot video,” and they just needed to create the “highly visual effects.”
Despite the potential financial loss, Kahn praised the decision, saying, “She’s a risk taker. And you know what? In this business, people that are willing to throw it all on the line should be rewarded if they become successful.”
As for what Taylor Swift is like as a coworker, Kahn said she is the consummate professional.
“She had a level of commitment that very few artists do. She’d always be waiting. I would never have to wait for her, you know?”
Kahn added that he was “super happy that she has all the rights [to her albums] back because she deserves it.”
“She’s a boss.”
Taylor Swift fan takes baby daughter’s monthly milestone pics to the next level with adorable Eras theme
This baby’s got Style.
As parents do, Jori Rand (aka JorLinn on TikTok) has been documenting her infant daughter Noa James’ growth with monthly photoshoots since giving birth in February. But this die-hard Swiftie has gone viral for taking it to the next level with a Taylor Swift theme — dressing her baby to match each of the Grammy winner’s albums in chronological order, beginning with Swift’s self-titled debut to mark little Noa’s first month of life.
To recreate the global superstar’s iconic looks, Rand crafts an outfit that matches both the color palette and vibe of the album.
When she can’t quite find the perfect pieces for each era, the mom either makes them herself or asks her creative friends to help out.
“A friend and I had discussed it, and we were collaborating together,” Rand told People. “We started collecting pieces. I have put a lot of thought into it, and I’ve done a lot of DIY for the photos themselves.”
Every month she starts planning the next one, sourcing the materials she might need to recreate each iconic look.
The Swiftie explained that she looks “everywhere for different items” including “going to Walmart or sourcing people to make things.”
Rand also shared that she loves hearing others share their thoughts on the mini-photoshoots.
“We know the Swiftie community is strong, and it is cool reading and seeing other people’s ideas,” she adds. “People have told me they’re going to do the same when they have their daughter.”
This mom has no doubt that her daughter will grow up to be a Swiftie for life just like her.
