What could be causing this error: RuntimeError('Event loop is closed') in Python

I am creating a discord bot in pyCharm. This is the following code I have:

# bot.py
import os

import discord
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
TOKEN = os.getenv('DISCORD_TOKEN')
GUILD = os.getenv('DISCORD_GUILD')

client = discord.Client()


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    for guild in client.guilds:
        if guild.name == GUILD:
            break
    print(
        f'{client.user} is connected to the following guild:n'
        f'{guild.name}(id: {guild.id})'
    )


client.run(TOKEN)

When I run it the following errors are produced:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:Userselrodvenvlibsite-packagesdiscordhttp.py", line 300, in static_login
    data = await self.request(Route('GET', '/users/@me'))
  File "C:Userselrodvenvlibsite-packagesdiscordhttp.py", line 254, in request
    raise HTTPException(r, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 401 Unauthorized (error code: 0): 401: Unauthorized

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    client.run(TOKEN)

    raise RuntimeError('Event loop is closed')
RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

Process finished with exit code 1

Now, what I find interesting is this:

• I can assure you that I have a .env file set up as such:
  DISCORD_TOKEN={my-token-here}
  DISCORD_GUILD={my-server-here}
  and it is the correct information
• I know this because when I take the same token out of the .env file and just paste it directly into client.run() it works without issue, but of course this is private information!
• So, the issue is that my file isnt being read properly? I would disagree because in testing I find that the string in DISCORD_GUILD is being read in properly without issue
• I also tried the ole turn it off and back on trick by resetting to a new token but no luck

This is my last resort to understanding this error. Does anyone know what could be causing this error and ho to fix it?
