00:00 Taylor Swift recently gave a reported $55 million in bonuses to people working on her

00:06 Eras tour.

00:07 Taylor Swift's employees expose what it's really like working for her.

00:12 When Taylor Swift released her music video for "The Man," she not only showcased her

00:22 acting skills, but also her ability to transform into a completely different person.

00:28 And that person was none other than Tyler Swift, her male alter ego.

00:35 But let's give credit where credit is due.

00:38 Behind every great transformation, there is a great makeup artist.

00:42 And for Taylor Swift's male transformation, that artist was Bill Corso.

00:46 Known for his work in blockbuster films and TV shows like Deadpool and American Horror

00:50 Story, Bill Corso definitely had the skills to bring Tyler Swift to life.

01:02 But what impressed everyone even more was how perfectly he captured Taylor's features

01:06 while also transforming her into a man.

01:09 But it wasn't just about makeup.

01:11 Taylor's transformation into Tyler also required hours of work and patience.

01:15 According to Corso, Taylor would sit still for 5 hours in the makeup chair for several

01:20 days in a row to achieve the perfect look.

01:23 And that's not all.

01:24 Taylor took her transformation one step further by hiring a movement coach to help her move

01:29 and act like a man in the music video.

01:35 Talk about dedication to her craft.

01:37 But let's be real, we shouldn't be surprised by Taylor's commitment and professionalism.

01:41 After all, she is known for putting her heart and soul into everything she does.

01:45 And when you put your whole heart and soul into something, that probably means you're

01:49 rising.

01:50 Simone De La Rue, also known as the personal trainer to the stars, has quite an impressive

01:55 clientele list.

01:57 From supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to actress Anne Hathaway, her workout methods

02:01 are highly sought after by celebrities looking to maintain their toned physiques.

02:06 One famous name on that list is none other than Taylor Swift, known for her catchy songs

02:11 and iconic dance moves.

02:12 It comes as no surprise that the singer loves to get moving.

02:15 In fact, Simone once mentioned that Taylor's love for dancing is what makes her workouts

02:20 fun and enjoyable.

02:22 But she's also a personal trainer who knows how to keep her clients' secrets.

02:25 It wouldn't be surprising if part of her job description was to sign a non-disclosure

02:30 contract before working with Taylor.

02:33 And even then, it's highly unlikely that Simone De La Rue would share any personal

02:36 information about her clients.

02:38 But who knows, maybe one day we'll get a glimpse into the intense workouts that keep

02:41 Taylor in such great shape.

02:43 In the early days of her career, Taylor was known for her love of sparkles and princess-like

02:48 dresses.

02:49 But as she has grown up in the public eye, so has her sense of style.

02:53 She is no longer just a country sweetheart, but a fashion icon who takes risks and experiments

02:58 with different looks.

03:00 One brand that Taylor has been particularly fond of in recent years is Faith Connection.

03:04 The brand's designers have revealed that Taylor has not only reached out to them through

03:08 her team, but she has also made direct requests for specific pieces.

03:12 This just goes to show how much Taylor loves the brand and how comfortable she is in experimenting

03:16 with different styles.

03:18 Taylor Swift's style evolution over the past decade can be described as nothing short

03:23 of impressive.

03:24 Britney Spears has a girl crush on Taylor Swift because their first meeting, we took

03:29 a picture and she became.

03:30 Britney Spears reveals she has a girl crush on Taylor Swift.

03:36 Britney called Taylor the "most iconic pop woman of our generation" in an Instagram

03:40 post.

03:41 The "Women & Me" author shared photos of herself from 2003 and 2008 with a teenage

03:46 Swift.

03:52 This is way back when, but kinda cool, Spears 41 wrote.

03:55 "During my 'Oops' tour, I got a knock at my door.

03:57 My good friend at the time was the assistant to my manager who was trying to become a manager

04:01 himself.

04:02 He gave me a little bit of a knock and then he said, 'I have a girl named Taylor who

04:05 wants to come in and sing for you.'

04:06 I was like, 'Of course.'"

04:13 In a recent Instagram post, Britney paid tribute to Taylor as the "most iconic pop woman

04:18 of our generation."

04:19 Swift walks in and sings a beautiful song with her guitar.

04:22 I was like, "Wow, wow, she's unbelievable."

04:25 The caption reads, "We took a picture and she then became the most iconic pop woman

04:29 of our generation.

04:31 Kinda cool she plays stadiums and I prefer her videos over movies any day.

04:34 She's stunning.

04:35 Girl crush."

04:36 The photos show a sweet moment between the two as Taylor sings for Britney, who is more

04:47 than happy to welcome her into her world.

04:49 It's amazing to see how far they've both come since then, with Taylor being one of

04:53 the biggest names in music today and Britney still continuing to make chart-topping hits.

04:59 Who would've thought that these two talented women would become such great friends?

05:06 It just goes to show that anything is possible when you put your mind and heart into it.

05:10 And in this case, music has brought them together.

05:12 Spears' witty tone and admiration for Swift's talent and success shines through her post,

05:17 as she jokes about being visited by the teenage Swift during her tour.

05:20 It's heartwarming to see two successful women supporting each other and recognizing

05:24 each other's achievements.

05:25 The Toxic singer also shares her preference for Swift's music videos over movies, emphasizing

05:29 the power and impact of music in pop culture.

05:32 It's clear that Spears holds Swift in high regard, calling her the most iconic pop woman

05:36 of her generation and expressing her admiration for her stunning talent and beauty.

05:39 This exchange between two powerhouse artists highlights the importance of female solidarity

05:44 and lifting each other up in a male-dominated industry.

05:47 Both Spears and Swift have faced their own challenges and criticisms, but they continue

05:51 to inspire and support each other in their respective journeys.

05:54 We can all learn from this uplifting moment between the two talented women.

05:58 Let's support and celebrate each other's successes, just like Spears and Swift have

06:02 shown us.

06:03 After all, there's no limit to what we can achieve when we have each other's backs.

06:06 It's also worth noting how Britney acknowledged Taylor as the most iconic pop woman of her

06:10 generation.

06:11 Shows the mutual respect and admiration they have for each other.

06:14 Something we can all learn from in a world where women are often pitted against each

06:18 other.

06:19 So here's to Britney and Taylor, two amazing pop icons who continue to inspire us with

06:23 their music and friendship.

06:25 We love to see it.

06:34 Taylor Swift's employees expose what it's really like working for her, part two.

06:39 Taylor Swift, known for her catchy songs and epic music videos, has been the subject of

06:44 much scrutiny over the years.

06:50 From her relationships to her creative decisions, there always seems to be someone ready to

06:54 criticize every move she makes.

06:57 But one thing that often gets overlooked is Taylor's relationship with her dancers.

07:01 Her dancers are not just higher hands who show up for a paycheck.

07:04 They are a close-knit group of friends who have been with Taylor for years.

07:09 And this bond is evident in the way they perform on stage together.

07:17 Take Todrick Hill for example.

07:18 He's not only a dancer, but also a close friend of Taylor's.

07:22 When the music video for "Look What You Made Me Do" was released, many people accused

07:26 him of allowing Taylor to rip off Beyonce's iconic formation dance.

07:35 But Todrick was quick to defend their friendship, stating that the two have a mutual respect

07:39 for each other and that it was simply a coincidence.

07:41 In fact, many of Taylor's dancers have spoken out about how she has been there for them

07:45 during their tough times in their personal lives.

07:48 And when they're not on tour or rehearsing for a show, they often spend time together

07:51 as friends.

07:52 It's easy to judge someone based on rumors and speculation, but Taylor's relationship

07:56 with her dancers proves that she is not the distance and cold celebrity that many people

08:00 make her out to be.

08:02 She values their friendship and has created a supportive and loving community within her

08:07 team, something that goes far beyond just her music career.

08:10 Images can say more than 1,000 words.

08:13 When Taylor Swift won the Emmy in 2015, she knew she didn't do it alone, and her staff

08:17 played a significant role in this achievement.

08:20 The singers celebrated together with them, and some members of the crew posted pictures

08:24 with the award.

08:25 For example, Camila Marshall posted a picture with the caption "Just another day at the

08:29 office."

08:30 She's not the only one, and many members of the crew did the same.

08:33 It shows that Taylor might be demanding, but she also shares the good moments with them.

08:37 I mean let's be real, winning an Emmy is definitely not "just another day at the

08:41 office."

08:42 Unless your office is some kind of magical place where dreams come true and unicorns

08:46 roam freely.

08:47 In that case, I'm gonna need a job application.

08:50 Jokes aside, it's clear that Taylor Swift values her team and they play a crucial role

08:55 in her success.

08:56 They work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly, and their

09:00 hard work doesn't go unnoticed.

09:03 As they say, teamwork makes the dream work.

09:05 And it's not just about winning awards, but also putting on a show for her fans.

09:09 Taylor's concerts are known for their elaborate stage designs, amazing costumes, and flawless

09:14 performances, but none of that would be possible without the hard work and dedication of her

09:18 team.

09:19 So next time you see a picture of Taylor Swift with her staff, remember that they are much

09:22 more than just employees.

09:24 They are a family working together to create magic and bring joy to millions of fans around

09:28 the world.

09:29 Taylor Swift's super close team of hair stylists, makeup artists, and wardrobe staff

09:33 adores the star.

09:35 Jemma Meridian, who does Taylor's hair, often posts her client on Instagram praising

09:39 her for being a beautiful soul while also repping her own abilities as a stylist.

09:44 If they hated working for Taylor, wouldn't they simply keep quiet and collect the paycheck?

09:49 In August 2023 Forbes revealed that the singer gave more than $55 million to those who helped

09:54 her heiress tour show come to life.

09:56 And the 50 truck drivers of her tour reportedly got a $100,000 bonus each.

10:02 Say what you want about the star, but she seems to treat her employees well.

10:05 Now where can I sign up to be part of Taylor Swift's squad?

10:08 Not only do her team members get to travel the world on tour with her, but they also

10:11 get paid handsomely and treated like family.

10:14 I mean have you seen how she surprised her stylist with a brand new car for Christmas?

10:18 Talk about boss goals.

10:19 And it's not just her team that loves her.

10:21 Fans of Taylor Swift can't get enough of her either.

10:24 From singing along to every song at her concerts, to defending their queen on social media,

10:28 the Swifties are a loyal bunch.
