She Picked Her Career Over a Chiefs Game: Inside Taylor’s Oscar Push, Four Songs for the Voters, and Travis on the Patient Zero Set

Taylor Swift closed the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Oct. 17 with four songs — her first event ever associated with the Motion Picture Academy, and an unmistakable opening move in a campaign for her first Oscar nomination. “I Knew It, I Knew You,” her Toy Story 5 song written with Jack Antonoff, is eligible for Best Original Song. To be there, she skipped a Chiefs game. Lyla on what the campaign looks like, why the gala is the room that matters, and the behind-the-scenes clip from the Patient Zero set that fans can’t stop watching.

🏆 Despite 14 Grammys, Swift has never been nominated for an Academy Award

🎬 The setlist: “I Knew It, I Knew You,” “Blank Space,” “Love Story” and “The Fate of Ophelia” — the last one aimed squarely at Grammy voters

🤝 The gala is co-chaired by Steven Spielberg, Kate Capshaw, Tom Ford and Robert Rodriguez; the night honored Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo and John Carpenter

🧸 She wrote the song in a day after an early screening — “got the songwriter zoomies,” she said — inspired by Jessie, after first seeing Toy Story at five

🏈 Her first missed Chiefs game since the wedding. A source close to her: “Taylor loves cheering for Travis, but this weekend was about Taylor”

💛 A new behind-the-scenes clip shows Travis on the Patient Zero set, filmed in March, months before the wedding

👗 Still no wedding dress photos, now nearly four months out
