Like in the sentence "It was lovely" what happens to the /t/ in the word (it), what occurs when focused on the /t/, like does it change the next following word or will the pronunciation of the word change due to the next word etc.

Search this site for "glottalization." There are a lot of discussions about it; I'm not sure which one is most relevant.

Deletion is quite likely to occur: [ɪwɵz] is a common pronunciation of those two words if unstressed.

I can guess
(as I don't have an example of the actual speech)
there's a case of double partial assimilation in the combination of [tw].
[t] sounds labialized because of the sonorant [w], and [w] sounds a little voiceless because of the voiceless [t].
