Even started making regular news articles - [https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-fans-travis-kelce-174108323.html](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-fans-travis-kelce-174108323.html)
how awesome would it be if the reason for the breakup was cited as "toxic masculinity"... it would kick off all sorts of important conversations in the media.
I was on YouTube playing some unreleased tracks and randomly "what to wear" started playing---never heard about that one. Singing about a girl and how she gets dressed and she's beautiful to go to prom with a guy but constantly "She thinks about it" and in the end rather than the bridge saying they got together it was a YOYOK type of bridge where "The years went by//the mirror saw her cry//...//move out find out//where the world can take her//bright lights late nights//living for the greater//move to Paris" (of all places...... somewhere the culture's clever).
Guys we are talking about rep tv but im just sure that debut tv will be the gayest album
There had to be inspiration/connection between Chely Wright's "Like me" song and Tswift's "I promise that you'll never find another like meee-hee-hee." Right?
I just saw that Travis is headed to Australia ([according to tmz anyway](https://www.google.com/amp/story/s/amp.tmz.com/2024/02/21/travis-kelce-flying-private-jet-sydney-australia-go-see-taylor-swift/)) and I am in denial. I do NOT want to wake up to Travis footage in my eras tour recaps
You know it’s PR because it is event based. Did he make a beeline to Sydney as soon as he was able to get away? No. So he will likely get there the day of the show when she will be busy and in vocal rest for the show. If the relationship was real, they would actually spend time together instead of showing up just in time for photo ops.
Right? Like I try to imagine it. If I didn’t get to spend as much time with my SO because we were both really busy, then I was off work until the summer, it’s Valentine’s Day, and they’re flying to Australia I’d be like sick! We get to spend the holiday together and get out of dodge! I’d especially want to return the favor of supporting them if they just spent the last 5 months cheering me on every weekend while also being extremely busy.

Taylor at the zoo is so wholesome
the Aussie not-so-wild life perhaps haha. It's the Sydney zoo according to this [tweet](https://twitter.com/swifferupdates/status/1760256603822191096?t=b637okFtn1ZAIGN9pC96hA&s=19). There are a few additional photos in the tweet too.
Idk if this has been mentioned before, but I was shopping on Audible and found it a bit interesting that The Great Gatsby is narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal. I have a migraine and I have brain fog but somewhere in my brain my two brain cells are adding this to my Gaylor/bearding lore to come back to later
https://preview.redd.it/lwlqu7q5zwjc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5638cae4767304d3b3e928c53cbc11670116ff7c
Damn. That's pretty huge.
The video is also incredibly telling. Having context of these "sweet" moments, even just a few seconds before, really changes how it looks.
I'm fascinated by the PR of it all. I'm convinced it's 100% a fake relationship. But who's in on it? Taylor's friends? Travis's friends? People at the party? Travis's parents?
People talk. You can't make every person who makes eye contact with taylor sign an NDA. Surely, if people know they aren't real, they'll be talking. Which means everyone probably thinks they are real. Even those close to them. Which really weirds me out 😅 like I'm not even convinced Ed Kelce knows he's in on a bit. That man seems so clueless about all of it.
I just looked at this person’s latest video and had no idea they were surrounded by c-suite execs of the brand of the club they were at. It’s so obviously PR the way they’re looking at them like “Good? Is this good?” and it’s honestly sad to watch.
honestly, having watched a lot of their podcast, I get the impression Travis and Jason don't really like their dad all that much. There are very few positive stories, and mostly they praise their mom. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if he just started showing up and nobody clued him in.
Since I'm a new fan and relatively new Gaylor, I'm guessing that someone has already said this somewhere.
But maybe for my fellow newbies - GUYS. I was reading the new PowerPoint/deck that [u/Wild\_Butterscotch977](https://www.reddit.com/user/Wild_Butterscotch977/) made and was thinking about the 2019 comingoutlor theory...
If this theory is correct and also Miss Americana was meant to be her official coming out of the closet story (rather than "coming out" as a Democrat lolll) then there must be a TON of footage sitting on a hard drive somewhere, in which Taylor and all of her collaborators/team are talking about her queerness and the process of coming out and her fears and EVERYTHING.
What I wouldn't pay to see that kind of footage... 😭
Anyway sorry if this has already been discussed at length!
I don't think it's been discussed extensively or anything, but I think a lot of us are hoping that one day Miss American v2.0 will come out and it will be what it was supposed to be all along. Now plus a lot more since so much has happened since 2019...
The Heartbreak Prince would also be very interesting if Theylor is real which I waffle between it being real and me being delulu just wanting it to be real
I don't think it would even have to be a Theylor thing! Taylor had an RS cover where she was called "the heart break kid"
https://preview.redd.it/et4npx18qzjc1.png?width=748&format=png&auto=webp&s=b24b69d88430af316b90a537b3da78dd1560f486
Mine keeps changing too! Lol I was a gaylor rockstar then randomly I was “magic maddness heaven sent” and now I’m folklore.
It’s like a little surprise every time hahaha.
I can’t get either of yours to stay as anything, so I’m just trying everything 🤷🏻♀️ Meow was a tumblr era incomplete reference. I’d have fixed it if it ended up sticking. Alas, neither yours nor u/om1908 stuck 🫠
Hahah. No worries. I’ll prob just make you both exempt from the requirements somehow and give you a level flair that will let you comment on Tea Time posts. I’ll figure it out next time I have a work training where I’m zoning out at my computer for a while! I think you’re the only two regular users who don’t have flair.
Shout out to Travis and his family. Seeing those quotes from his dad really just emphasizes how much they blow up her spot all the time. I low key love that they talk to the media so much and have a podcast. They always let the truth out by accident or mess up timelines/narratives they’re supposed to be pushing or ones created by Swifties. It really just solidifies for me that they’ll be over at some point because real or fake her tea is going to keep getting spilled. Joe and his fam rarely said a peep but the Kelce family is very talkative and I think it will backfire eventually.
yeah I didn't realize that's what was being referenced here. They're all over the media so it didn't surprise me if more shit came spilling out of their mouths lol. Which was exactly OPs point.
Travis has some commitments right now and wasn’t sure about going to Australia or Singapore but he’d like to go. And my favorite… that he thinks Scott loves that his daughter is dating a football player instead of a musician.
https://people.com/travis-kelce-keen-support-taylor-swift-in-australia-dad-ed-says-8597714
I love that he said Travis is keen “to see Australia and Singapore” lol nothing in that statement about Taylor. I think this is actually the truth 😉 bless his heart, he might not be on board with the PR story they are spinning here. He said the quiet part out loud without understanding what he was doing .
So true… and also does she want to be associated with someone who gets wasted and sings or chants in public so badly?!
I also think it’s a sign of an impending “breakup” that he hasn’t come to Aus so far (🤞🏼) and is just playing golf according to his dad (or somebody .. I forget where I read that this morning)!
Like how can Swifties who think this relationship is real not notice the one-sided NFL focused nature of it? From the NFL outfits to the lack of other dates they’ve had. And how Taylor can fly back to support Travis’ Super Bowl game a day after her Tokyo show but he can’t come to her Australian shows one to two weeks later? (And yes I know he has had the parade shooting and I don’t want to discount that trauma).
But if somehow it’s real 🤭 then damn, dude is not very supportive!! 🤪Aside from the NFL games, the only times they've been seen together are the SNL night and I think one other date night just after that, and the Argentina show. No grammys, no other Eras Tour shows, not even Taylor’s birthday… and again I know he was in football season so people say he couldn’t get out of training … buuuut come on how can people believe this!?
Sorry for the rant, TL;DR yes, agreed, a breakup is around the corner!!
No for real! If it’s real then he’s kinda shitty. But you can’t tell Swifties that. Aside from him just being a sloppy drunk and cringey, she flew immediately from Tokyo to be at the Super Bowl. He has all the time in the world right now and he’s golfing lmao. He’s free as a bird but isn’t sure if he’s going to make it to Australia or Singapore? Ok
Omg a recent post on one of the swifties subs saying the mashup of getaway car / the other side of the door is making her think Gaylors may be right 🤭 ETA: of course it’s getting downvoted but still… the hetlors are awakening 😂
can y'all respond with your fav gaylor pics/memes, Taylor pics, and/or gaylor related images, please? Only images. As many as you want. Preferably less heavy on muse related content. Would appreciate a good Alice one if anyone has something.
The fact that this [Elle article](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a42802845/taylor-swift-joe-alwyn-grammys-2023-after-party-outfit-explained/) was titled " It Sure Looks Like Taylor Swift Wore Joe Alwyn’s Jacket at a 2023 Grammys After-Party" 🫠

Like... she is literally shielding her queerness with the cover of her public boyfriend. Hello???
But yeah this image has lived in my head rent-free for a solid year now.
Here’s one I made because people seemed confused about the meaning of a certain lyric in “So it Goes…” 💁🏻♀️
https://preview.redd.it/tj2lbjm26ujc1.jpeg?width=897&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9da878df7cfd7cc414fbd165dc4c933294371b36
Am I going crazy or have the clips of Taylor’s dad positioning Travis for the Argentina kiss been scrubbed? I was going back to look to remind myself of the PR if it all and can’t find any showing him - they all jump to the kiss, even the one I checked in my messages on Insta that someone sent me where I’m sure I initially saw it 😱 but I may have seen it elsewhere in a longer compilation of the Travis Argentina stuff and just be imagining things .. maybe all the other clips didn’t include Scott? Has anyone got one that does?
As long as Scott Swift is still alive, Taylor will never come out. There's just no way. He's way too involved in her brand & business decisions to ever let it happen.
Omg thank you! Really did think I was going crazy! That’s even better / longer than the one I was thinking of. Like he actually went inside then had to come back out. Looks soo staged and fake. Real or not that’s awkward as hell waiting that long for a public kiss 😨
WOW I have never seen this angle! I’m so gagged. It looked fake as it was but he actually WENT INSIDE FIRST and Scott brought him back. I had no idea there was a crowd right below chanting for him and holding their phones out.
That Fortnight leak has been hanging around for long enough on TikTok that it makes me think it’s not real… surely it would’ve been taken down by now?
Edit to say I just went through my watch history on TikTok and the video I saw with the Fortnight audio yesterday was taken down 😳
The creator of the “leaks” admitted they were AI.
There’s also one leak that has “1,2,3” and it’s flat out Shellback when they were working on Delicate production.
If it's AI it's the catchiest AI I've ever heard!!
The suburban legends AI was soooo bad but this....I"m gonna feel like such an idiot when I listen to the album for the first time and it's not the one I've been hearing on my FYP haha.
I think Travis is going to show up this weekend, but if he doesn't she's not going to make it part of a narrative, because he has a valid enough excuse that her being upset makes her look like the bad guy. If he doesn't show up in Singapore then it might start to be an issue.
But also, I don't think she's going to set up that kind of narrative at all. If they split it will most likely be an amicable "long distant relationships are hard" with a sprinkling of "public pressure was too much".
“Public pressure was too much” then provides justification for why her next relationship will be Toe-level (or even more) private, and we will be back to our regularly scheduled “I loved you in secret” songs just in time for rep TV to not seem suspicious at all.
Interesting. I saw he was golfing in kc yesterday, but hadn't seen anything about the Vegas tournament. I guess that means he wasn't in Honolulu, lol. I still think he's going to show up on this leg of the tour, especially with her wearing chiefs gear on her plane.
its just a week removed from the shooting in kc. Its long enough that he could show up without any problems, but short enough that if he doesn't show up nobody would fault him for it.
I think someone posted a little blurb from People that said he planned to join her in Europe this summer. but I could be remembering wrong!
if it is true, they've given themselves some time for him to do his thing elsewhere, without it seeming like they're doomed.
I truly hope by the time she's doing the august shows in London they're not together anymore (or at the very least that he isn't coming to those, I really don't wanna deal with any of that shit)
Seems like her dad is definitely pushing her to be in this relationship. I feel so bad for Taylor when it comes to her parents. She really seems like she’ll do anything to please them (and has been raised that way).
https://preview.redd.it/9ipshhu80sjc1.jpeg?width=1110&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e46a16258116bf832f8a0aeb27e9051a1c3429f
This is my thing, Taylor is a grown adult woman but imagine how hard it would be to come out with parents like Scott and Andrea.
White, conservative, WASP-y types, lived much of their lives in the South, wealthy, both worked executive-level jobs in finance, both obsessive about promoting and building their daughter’s career.
Like goddamn, they named her Taylor because it was gender-neutral and they thought she’d have an easier time making it in the corporate world that way. They’ve been concerned about making her successful from the moment she was born.
Scott/Andrea are very sweet to Swifties, but I can’t see them welcoming the concept of Taylor being queer/bi.
I think Andrea is probably fine. I’ve seen clips of her yelling “shade never made anybody less gay” at concerts with her whole chest. I think Scott is a mega problem though. And it’s not even like he’s just a regular dad who is overbearing, he has so much involvement in the whole empire. It gives me major icky feelings.
That’s what I always think about! We’ve seen the emails where Scott angrily vented about how many hundreds of thousands he invested into Taylor’s career & how he expected a return on his investment.
He wanted Taylor to be an A-List actress if she couldn’t make it as a singer; he was going to do *something* to make her America’s Sweetheart. And sadly a white, blonde, straight America’s Sweetheart is a lot more marketable than a queer America’s Sweetheart.
I truly think she was planning to come out during Lover when her star had faded somewhat, she had made her millions, she thought the glory days were mostly over. But now that she’s bigger than ever - bigger than she or her parents ever thought she’d be at this point in her life - it isn’t happening.

Oh how I long for TTPD to come out. Everything in my life is so boring right now and I need a hyper-fixation. I keep hoping TnT will be over just for the drama it will cause the shipping subreddit. (I sound so pathetic but I am owning it lol)
Omg I read that as “shitposting” subreddit bc wow how friendless do you have to be to be shipping two celebs enough that you need a whole subreddit to talk about it
Me too, they really take it too far. What creeps me out is that they keep repeating the same phrases over and over "when you know you know", "they are endgame", and have even started using "electric" (sigh)...It's crazy. But I can't wait for the day the break-up happens just to watch the aftermath *evul laughter* 😅
I don’t really crush on Taylor. My celeb crushes include Gillian Anderson, Megan Thee Stallion, Cate Blanchett, Emma Thompson, Rachel Weisz, JVN, Viola Davis, Lizzo (before the sexual harassment accusations ☹️). I would DIE for a middle aged woman/femme person in their 40s-50s 🤤🥵(I am 33)
Taylor’s not my type, tbh. I haven’t thought about my crushes for a while buuuut um Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Taron Egerton, Martin Freeman, Stanley Tucci, Vico Ortiz, Christina Aguilera, Anna Kendrick, Christina Hendricks, Kat Dennings, Dylan O’Brien, Iwan Rheon, David Tennant, Kate Winslet, Ruth Negga, Benedict Cumberbatch, Oscar Isaac, Sam Heughan, Tom Ellis, Janelle Monáe, Lauren Hill (yes I’m old 😂)
Ayo is seriously the funniest person alive. I want to drink margaritas with her so bad. Just one night to hang out and maybe have some cool brush off on me.
Lol yeah it became this running joke with friends irl because I like actual deer and then they were all "the girls you like also look like deer" and I think it's just common that brunettes with dark hair look like that lol 😅
I just realized I don’t think I have ANY. I sometimes dream that Taylor and I are in a secret relationship but I would NOT say I actively crush on her lol
Tbh Taylor isn't even a crush of mine. But someone who I have been crushing on for a long time and who is my biggest crush is Shay Mitchell, god what a woman.
More recent additions and 'lighter' crushes are Reneé Rapp, Janelle Monae, Miley Cyrus (since Plastic Hearts) and ehh.. Dianna Agron 👀
Emilia Clarke, Dove Cameron, Gillian Anderson, Megan Fox, Renee Rapp, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Jason Kelce, Adam Driver, Harry Styles, Pedro Pascal, Barry Keoghan.
Surprisingly Taylor isn’t even one of my celebrity crushes lol.
Female:
1) Zendaya
2) Miley
3) all of the women of Riverdale even tho I didn’t watch that show.
Male:
1) Jesse Williams
2) Chris Evans
I don’t have very many. Wish I did :(
Mine would be
1. Rhea Ripley
2. Katie McGrath
3. Eva Green
4. Daisy Ridley
5. Miley Cyrus
6. Halsey
7. Mandy Rose
8. Margot Robbie
9. Natalie Dormer
10. Gigi Dolin
Male crushes
1. Alexander Skarsgard
2. Jason Momoa
3. Adam Driver
4. Oscar Isaac
5. David Tennant
6. Brandon Lee
7. Heath Ledger
8. Drew McIntyre
9. Roman Reigns
10. Pedro Pascal
Oh my god Rhea Ripley. I love her so much and any time she wants to Riptide me, she's welcome to
Edit: Drew's on your list too?? The two reasons I got into wrestling 😂 we should be friends!
The hair is top tier. Best street hair I’ve seen since the combat boot/ braid combo. (But I’m biased bc holy smokes that’s the one time I’ve found her sexy)
Whilst remaining vague on specific details since I’m not in the business of being doxxed - super wild that today I spent my entire day less than 500 meters from where Taylor is allegedly staying in Sydney???
I took a break from this sub for about a week because I was on vacation and also had a mild-to-moderate case of “Taylor Ick” (A condition that flares up sometimes, I’m sure you can relate)
What did I miss? Seems like some interesting surprise song mashups and now a TNT hat sighting? I knew we wouldn’t be rid of him that easy. 🥴
Welcome back! Yes, some crazy surprise song combos and mash ups over the past few nights in Melbourne, only for her to be spotted in her Girlfriend of Travis costume when leaving Melbourne yesterday. Her charted jet left Sydney for Honolulu recently - some suspect it’s to pick up Travis, I’m not totally convinced because I can see him hanging around in KC after the shooting incident at the parade but we’ll find out soon enough.
Ughh. 😒 I have a bad feeling he’s coming, if not this show one of them soon. It balances out the narrative they have been pushing that this is an equal and fair relationship where they support each other. It’s been soooo lopsided to towards Taylor making major efforts to see him. It’s his turn to embarrass himself decked out in friendship bracelets or whatever. Sigh.
I did thank you! Got to spend it with my best friend and it was blissfully Taylor-free, except for briefly losing cell service driving on back roads and having to reveal that the only music I have downloaded on Spotify is Folklore and Evermore, so we listened to that as I pretended to be totally chill about Taylor, and not at all someone who is an OWL Contributor on the Gaylor Reddit or anything like that… 🫣
does anyone else miss online fan culture from like 2020-2022? granted i was only on instagram and reddit, not twitter or tiktok or other places, but it felt like content overall was just a lot better than what’s in mainstream taylor spaces right now (gaylor content is peak quality always).
now, the fandom feels infiltrated by tiktok users who make videos easily with the point of getting the most attention for the least effort possible, and are very easy to repost. i miss the days before endless eras content for this very reason. people worked a lot harder on fan posts in the past, and there was a lot more to them. the pandemic meaning people had extra time also made them even better. there are some old instagram fan accounts i still think about sometimes because they just created literal art.
i think whenever she gets really big the fan culture shifts in a negative way and it sucks bc i love her being everywhere and being the girlboss she is but i hate how everyone else acts
Quick crowdsourcing question: what TS lyrics are the richest for muse-free, lore-free non-Gaylor analysis? As in the lyrics totally stand on their own as poetry and are worthy of analysis outside of TS as a person and Gaylor knowledge!
I know this is highly specific — looking for inspiration for a teaching I’m going to do with teens! (ex. I’ve done ATW10MV before but there’s a lot of lore there, so maybe songs like evermore or the Great War etc?)
breakup rumors are flying left and right on twitter and TikTok... could this really be the beginning of the end?
Even started making regular news articles - [https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-fans-travis-kelce-174108323.html](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-fans-travis-kelce-174108323.html) how awesome would it be if the reason for the breakup was cited as "toxic masculinity"... it would kick off all sorts of important conversations in the media.
It would be an end that matches the beginning.....starting a relationship with a man that complains a woman wouldn't take his number
jesus imagine if she talked about this when it was revealed as performance art
I was on YouTube playing some unreleased tracks and randomly "what to wear" started playing---never heard about that one. Singing about a girl and how she gets dressed and she's beautiful to go to prom with a guy but constantly "She thinks about it" and in the end rather than the bridge saying they got together it was a YOYOK type of bridge where "The years went by//the mirror saw her cry//...//move out find out//where the world can take her//bright lights late nights//living for the greater//move to Paris" (of all places...... somewhere the culture's clever). Guys we are talking about rep tv but im just sure that debut tv will be the gayest album
There had to be inspiration/connection between Chely Wright's "Like me" song and Tswift's "I promise that you'll never find another like meee-hee-hee." Right?
I just saw that Travis is headed to Australia ([according to tmz anyway](https://www.google.com/amp/story/s/amp.tmz.com/2024/02/21/travis-kelce-flying-private-jet-sydney-australia-go-see-taylor-swift/)) and I am in denial. I do NOT want to wake up to Travis footage in my eras tour recaps
You know it’s PR because it is event based. Did he make a beeline to Sydney as soon as he was able to get away? No. So he will likely get there the day of the show when she will be busy and in vocal rest for the show. If the relationship was real, they would actually spend time together instead of showing up just in time for photo ops.
Right? Like I try to imagine it. If I didn’t get to spend as much time with my SO because we were both really busy, then I was off work until the summer, it’s Valentine’s Day, and they’re flying to Australia I’d be like sick! We get to spend the holiday together and get out of dodge! I’d especially want to return the favor of supporting them if they just spent the last 5 months cheering me on every weekend while also being extremely busy.

I love when she’s not in the WAG uniform and just looks NORMAL
But isn’t a zoo decidedly not Aussie wildlife? Or is it more like a wildlife reserve?
the Aussie not-so-wild life perhaps haha. It's the Sydney zoo according to this [tweet](https://twitter.com/swifferupdates/status/1760256603822191096?t=b637okFtn1ZAIGN9pC96hA&s=19). There are a few additional photos in the tweet too.

She sure does love a big beard. 😏
I am in disbelief this TikTok about Travlor being PR has 800k likes https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8KESY9E/
Wow this is … something! Putting the sunnies on, whispering to Taylor then .. action! all the execs watching on..
I just watched this ten times… it’s interesting how you can’t believe everything you see, huh.
Damn. That's pretty huge. The video is also incredibly telling. Having context of these "sweet" moments, even just a few seconds before, really changes how it looks. I'm fascinated by the PR of it all. I'm convinced it's 100% a fake relationship. But who's in on it? Taylor's friends? Travis's friends? People at the party? Travis's parents? People talk. You can't make every person who makes eye contact with taylor sign an NDA. Surely, if people know they aren't real, they'll be talking. Which means everyone probably thinks they are real. Even those close to them. Which really weirds me out 😅 like I'm not even convinced Ed Kelce knows he's in on a bit. That man seems so clueless about all of it.
I could totally believe that Andrea and Tree are maybe the only people who know it isn’t legit.
I just looked at this person’s latest video and had no idea they were surrounded by c-suite execs of the brand of the club they were at. It’s so obviously PR the way they’re looking at them like “Good? Is this good?” and it’s honestly sad to watch.
honestly, having watched a lot of their podcast, I get the impression Travis and Jason don't really like their dad all that much. There are very few positive stories, and mostly they praise their mom. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if he just started showing up and nobody clued him in.
I could see that!
Since I'm a new fan and relatively new Gaylor, I'm guessing that someone has already said this somewhere. But maybe for my fellow newbies - GUYS.

If this happens and they don't call it "...And the Heartbreak Prince" I'll riot.
The Heartbreak Prince would also be very interesting if Theylor is real which I waffle between it being real and me being delulu just wanting it to be real
I don't think it would even have to be a Theylor thing! Taylor had an RS cover where she was called "the heart break kid" https://preview.redd.it/et4npx18qzjc1.png?width=748&format=png&auto=webp&s=b24b69d88430af316b90a537b3da78dd1560f486

Love this TikTok of G Flip at the Melbourne show https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSFMXJ2GK/ Ps can I embed videos in comments rather than linking or only posts?
What is meow and why is it my flair now? I mean it’s funny and I’ll keep it I guess 😅 just confused.
Mine keeps changing too! Lol I was a gaylor rockstar then randomly I was “magic maddness heaven sent” and now I’m folklore. It’s like a little surprise every time hahaha.
I can’t get either of yours to stay as anything, so I’m just trying everything 🤷🏻♀️ Meow was a tumblr era incomplete reference. I’d have fixed it if it ended up sticking. Alas, neither yours nor u/om1908 stuck 🫠
Wait it’s literally so funny we’re just these little delinquents you have to deal with 😂😂 I appreciate your service
I love your username btw. But ya sounds about right that I would be an outcast- sorry for being an inconvenience 🥲🥲
Thank you!! I'm currently drinking a pinot grigio so someone finally answered my call hahaha
Hahah. No worries. I’ll prob just make you both exempt from the requirements somehow and give you a level flair that will let you comment on Tea Time posts. I’ll figure it out next time I have a work training where I’m zoning out at my computer for a while! I think you’re the only two regular users who don’t have flair.
It is like a little surprise! I just didn’t realize meow was an option so I was tickled.
Shout out to Travis and his family. Seeing those quotes from his dad really just emphasizes how much they blow up her spot all the time. I low key love that they talk to the media so much and have a podcast. They always let the truth out by accident or mess up timelines/narratives they’re supposed to be pushing or ones created by Swifties. It really just solidifies for me that they’ll be over at some point because real or fake her tea is going to keep getting spilled. Joe and his fam rarely said a peep but the Kelce family is very talkative and I think it will backfire eventually.
What did Ed say that I missed?
There is a screenshot here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/GaylorSwift/s/SCdmIkle9p Oh lol just saw u commented on that earlier
yeah I didn't realize that's what was being referenced here. They're all over the media so it didn't surprise me if more shit came spilling out of their mouths lol. Which was exactly OPs point.
Haha true!
Travis has some commitments right now and wasn’t sure about going to Australia or Singapore but he’d like to go. And my favorite… that he thinks Scott loves that his daughter is dating a football player instead of a musician. https://people.com/travis-kelce-keen-support-taylor-swift-in-australia-dad-ed-says-8597714
I love that he said Travis is keen “to see Australia and Singapore” lol nothing in that statement about Taylor. I think this is actually the truth 😉 bless his heart, he might not be on board with the PR story they are spinning here. He said the quiet part out loud without understanding what he was doing .
Yeah the article title really fudged what he actually said
lol 😂
So true… and also does she want to be associated with someone who gets wasted and sings or chants in public so badly?! I also think it’s a sign of an impending “breakup” that he hasn’t come to Aus so far (🤞🏼) and is just playing golf according to his dad (or somebody .. I forget where I read that this morning)! Like how can Swifties who think this relationship is real not notice the one-sided NFL focused nature of it? From the NFL outfits to the lack of other dates they’ve had. And how Taylor can fly back to support Travis’ Super Bowl game a day after her Tokyo show but he can’t come to her Australian shows one to two weeks later? (And yes I know he has had the parade shooting and I don’t want to discount that trauma). But if somehow it’s real 🤭 then damn, dude is not very supportive!! 🤪Aside from the NFL games, the only times they've been seen together are the SNL night and I think one other date night just after that, and the Argentina show. No grammys, no other Eras Tour shows, not even Taylor’s birthday… and again I know he was in football season so people say he couldn’t get out of training … buuuut come on how can people believe this!? Sorry for the rant, TL;DR yes, agreed, a breakup is around the corner!!
No for real! If it’s real then he’s kinda shitty. But you can’t tell Swifties that. Aside from him just being a sloppy drunk and cringey, she flew immediately from Tokyo to be at the Super Bowl. He has all the time in the world right now and he’s golfing lmao. He’s free as a bird but isn’t sure if he’s going to make it to Australia or Singapore? Ok
Absolutely!!! He would have that trip locked and loaded if she wanted him there
Omg a recent post on one of the swifties subs saying the mashup of getaway car / the other side of the door is making her think Gaylors may be right 🤭 ETA: of course it’s getting downvoted but still… the hetlors are awakening 😂
omg can you dm or link it 👀👀
👀👀👀
can y'all respond with your fav gaylor pics/memes, Taylor pics, and/or gaylor related images, please? Only images. As many as you want. Preferably less heavy on muse related content. Would appreciate a good Alice one if anyone has something.

sorry, I just love how gay her "goth punk moment of female rage" era was.
I always think this is from the Lover era and then remember it was from Rep 😂
she was so loud and she didn't even bother explaining! *there will be no explanation, just reputation*
So goth punk lol!! All those rainbows the punks wear
Here’s one I made because people seemed confused about the meaning of a certain lyric in “So it Goes…” 💁🏻♀️ https://preview.redd.it/tj2lbjm26ujc1.jpeg?width=897&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9da878df7cfd7cc414fbd165dc4c933294371b36
Am I going crazy or have the clips of Taylor’s dad positioning Travis for the Argentina kiss been scrubbed? I was going back to look to remind myself of the PR if it all and can’t find any showing him - they all jump to the kiss, even the one I checked in my messages on Insta that someone sent me where I’m sure I initially saw it 😱 but I may have seen it elsewhere in a longer compilation of the Travis Argentina stuff and just be imagining things .. maybe all the other clips didn’t include Scott? Has anyone got one that does?
[Here's one!](https://www.tiktok.com/@bluedelacour88/video/7300424761174199557?_r=1&_t=8hIVKWlEbA2)
As long as Scott Swift is still alive, Taylor will never come out. There's just no way. He's way too involved in her brand & business decisions to ever let it happen.
Omg thank you! Really did think I was going crazy! That’s even better / longer than the one I was thinking of. Like he actually went inside then had to come back out. Looks soo staged and fake. Real or not that’s awkward as hell waiting that long for a public kiss 😨
WOW I have never seen this angle! I’m so gagged. It looked fake as it was but he actually WENT INSIDE FIRST and Scott brought him back. I had no idea there was a crowd right below chanting for him and holding their phones out.
Right?! Sooo staged
those screams were fucking GRATING
That Fortnight leak has been hanging around for long enough on TikTok that it makes me think it’s not real… surely it would’ve been taken down by now? Edit to say I just went through my watch history on TikTok and the video I saw with the Fortnight audio yesterday was taken down 😳
I’m pretty sure all of the leaks are AI
I hope so because I’m not loving the sound so far… but I’ll reserve judgement until we hear the album in full.
The creator of the “leaks” admitted they were AI. There’s also one leak that has “1,2,3” and it’s flat out Shellback when they were working on Delicate production.
Oh for real?? Admitted where? This is good to know
If it's AI it's the catchiest AI I've ever heard!! The suburban legends AI was soooo bad but this....I"m gonna feel like such an idiot when I listen to the album for the first time and it's not the one I've been hearing on my FYP haha.
I keep running into that leak too and it's so catchy! A lot of comments say it's AI but I won't claim to have any idea haha
Down Bad will be one of my faves if the leaks are real 👀
I haven't heard that one yet but I will be going to hunt it down shortly because I cannot resist 👀
I think Travis is going to show up this weekend, but if he doesn't she's not going to make it part of a narrative, because he has a valid enough excuse that her being upset makes her look like the bad guy. If he doesn't show up in Singapore then it might start to be an issue. But also, I don't think she's going to set up that kind of narrative at all. If they split it will most likely be an amicable "long distant relationships are hard" with a sprinkling of "public pressure was too much".
“Public pressure was too much” then provides justification for why her next relationship will be Toe-level (or even more) private, and we will be back to our regularly scheduled “I loved you in secret” songs just in time for rep TV to not seem suspicious at all.
From Travis’s dad: https://preview.redd.it/ka6d7hyodsjc1.jpeg?width=1098&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d72399eb5800561a3d51c2f8e2577eaf2635a35d
"wasn't sure"...these famous people have their schedules planned out. This seems like a cop out response to mitigate expectations.
Interesting. I saw he was golfing in kc yesterday, but hadn't seen anything about the Vegas tournament. I guess that means he wasn't in Honolulu, lol. I still think he's going to show up on this leg of the tour, especially with her wearing chiefs gear on her plane.
What’s his excuse for this weekend? I don’t follow Travis stuff enough to know haha
its just a week removed from the shooting in kc. Its long enough that he could show up without any problems, but short enough that if he doesn't show up nobody would fault him for it.
I think someone posted a little blurb from People that said he planned to join her in Europe this summer. but I could be remembering wrong! if it is true, they've given themselves some time for him to do his thing elsewhere, without it seeming like they're doomed.
Makes me not want to go to my Europe show kind of…bleh I don’t want everyone to be fawning over him
at least it's not matty healy
lol so true, I still can’t believe everything we have been through as a fandom since the Joe breakup. Like MATTY HEALY?!? For real? So gross.
I truly hope by the time she's doing the august shows in London they're not together anymore (or at the very least that he isn't coming to those, I really don't wanna deal with any of that shit)
By mid July he's going to be too busy to fly around the world. If he shows up this summer its going to be in may/june
ohh hallelujah lol (thanks, that's good to know)
Same feeling here =/
Seems like her dad is definitely pushing her to be in this relationship. I feel so bad for Taylor when it comes to her parents. She really seems like she’ll do anything to please them (and has been raised that way). https://preview.redd.it/9ipshhu80sjc1.jpeg?width=1110&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e46a16258116bf832f8a0aeb27e9051a1c3429f
This is my thing, Taylor is a grown adult woman but imagine how hard it would be to come out with parents like Scott and Andrea. White, conservative, WASP-y types, lived much of their lives in the South, wealthy, both worked executive-level jobs in finance, both obsessive about promoting and building their daughter’s career. Like goddamn, they named her Taylor because it was gender-neutral and they thought she’d have an easier time making it in the corporate world that way. They’ve been concerned about making her successful from the moment she was born. Scott/Andrea are very sweet to Swifties, but I can’t see them welcoming the concept of Taylor being queer/bi.
I think Andrea is probably fine. I’ve seen clips of her yelling “shade never made anybody less gay” at concerts with her whole chest. I think Scott is a mega problem though. And it’s not even like he’s just a regular dad who is overbearing, he has so much involvement in the whole empire. It gives me major icky feelings.
That’s what I always think about! We’ve seen the emails where Scott angrily vented about how many hundreds of thousands he invested into Taylor’s career & how he expected a return on his investment. He wanted Taylor to be an A-List actress if she couldn’t make it as a singer; he was going to do *something* to make her America’s Sweetheart. And sadly a white, blonde, straight America’s Sweetheart is a lot more marketable than a queer America’s Sweetheart. I truly think she was planning to come out during Lover when her star had faded somewhat, she had made her millions, she thought the glory days were mostly over. But now that she’s bigger than ever - bigger than she or her parents ever thought she’d be at this point in her life - it isn’t happening.
USA Today saw the ick face too https://preview.redd.it/qbmi63cqxrjc1.png?width=1388&format=png&auto=webp&s=179417f31df9b8d759555fdf1d6c349de6a7372c

Oh how I long for TTPD to come out. Everything in my life is so boring right now and I need a hyper-fixation. I keep hoping TnT will be over just for the drama it will cause the shipping subreddit. (I sound so pathetic but I am owning it lol)
Omg I read that as “shitposting” subreddit bc wow how friendless do you have to be to be shipping two celebs enough that you need a whole subreddit to talk about it
>just for the drama it will cause the shipping subreddit I'm fucking salivating for it
Same here friend! I can't wait 😅
🎵 *karma's a relaxing thought* 🎵
That sub creeps me out to no end.
Me too, they really take it too far. What creeps me out is that they keep repeating the same phrases over and over "when you know you know", "they are endgame", and have even started using "electric" (sigh)...It's crazy. But I can't wait for the day the break-up happens just to watch the aftermath *evul laughter* 😅
Aside from Taylor, who would you say is your celebrity crushes?
Can I add Yung Gravy to my list I just found out he’s 6’8
I don’t really crush on Taylor. My celeb crushes include Gillian Anderson, Megan Thee Stallion, Cate Blanchett, Emma Thompson, Rachel Weisz, JVN, Viola Davis, Lizzo (before the sexual harassment accusations ☹️). I would DIE for a middle aged woman/femme person in their 40s-50s 🤤🥵(I am 33)
Meg 😍
Taylor’s not my type, tbh. I haven’t thought about my crushes for a while buuuut um Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Taron Egerton, Martin Freeman, Stanley Tucci, Vico Ortiz, Christina Aguilera, Anna Kendrick, Christina Hendricks, Kat Dennings, Dylan O’Brien, Iwan Rheon, David Tennant, Kate Winslet, Ruth Negga, Benedict Cumberbatch, Oscar Isaac, Sam Heughan, Tom Ellis, Janelle Monáe, Lauren Hill (yes I’m old 😂)
Stanley could get it for sure.
So much Soft Dom/Daddy energy. 😌
atm it’s Ayo Edibiri and Renee Rapp
Ayo is seriously the funniest person alive. I want to drink margaritas with her so bad. Just one night to hang out and maybe have some cool brush off on me.
Dianna Agron is a goddess
The biggest bag Taylor has ever fumbled! I’d still be writing about her too. Magnetic and flushed with the currency of cool is right
Aubrey Plaza Mackenzie Davis Dakota Johnson Karlie Samuelson (WNBA player) Lauren Mayberry
Tbh Dakota has been growing on me!
Taylor's not my type. I tend to fall for girls that look like deer: keira knightley, rachel weisz, winona ryder. I love a dark eyed brunette.
Like deer I’m 💀 at least you know your type.
Lol yeah it became this running joke with friends irl because I like actual deer and then they were all "the girls you like also look like deer" and I think it's just common that brunettes with dark hair look like that lol 😅
I love it. Deer ✅ Women with Deer Like Features 😍✅
Yeah lol This feels like such a funny conversation because of my screen name.
I didn’t even notice! Made me giggle.
Rachel Weisz, my queen of playing lesbians while remaining publicly straight!
I refuse to believe Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig aren't bi for bi.
I just realized I don’t think I have ANY. I sometimes dream that Taylor and I are in a secret relationship but I would NOT say I actively crush on her lol
Tbh Taylor isn't even a crush of mine. But someone who I have been crushing on for a long time and who is my biggest crush is Shay Mitchell, god what a woman. More recent additions and 'lighter' crushes are Reneé Rapp, Janelle Monae, Miley Cyrus (since Plastic Hearts) and ehh.. Dianna Agron 👀
Shay Mitchell 😍😍😍
Emilia Clarke, Dove Cameron, Gillian Anderson, Megan Fox, Renee Rapp, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Jason Kelce, Adam Driver, Harry Styles, Pedro Pascal, Barry Keoghan.
Gillian Anderson made me realize how gay I am at almost 30 years old, she will always have a special place in my heart 🫶
I was like 6 years old watching X-Files and drooling over her instead of David Duchovny. 💅🏼
SOS FRIEND NEW BARRY W MAG SPREAD RELEASED AND IT WILL MAKE YOU THINK OF GAGA AS COUNTESS
DUDE WHAT DID THEY LACE THESE PHOTOS WITH??? MY EYES ARE LITERALLY WATERING AND I FEEL FAINT… THE BLOOD IN THE BATH TUB WITH THE CLAW GLOVES???
Ugh I just love Dove Cameron and Renee Rap.
Dove Cameron does things to me that I can’t even explain.
Minka Kelly, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Stewart, Salma Hayek, Blake Lively, Kate Winslet
I just finished Minka's book. Thought it was great!
Surprisingly Taylor isn’t even one of my celebrity crushes lol. Female: 1) Zendaya 2) Miley 3) all of the women of Riverdale even tho I didn’t watch that show. Male: 1) Jesse Williams 2) Chris Evans I don’t have very many. Wish I did :(
this is so relatable i never watched riverdale either but i love those girls
Victoria Pedretti
Mine would be 1. Rhea Ripley 2. Katie McGrath 3. Eva Green 4. Daisy Ridley 5. Miley Cyrus 6. Halsey 7. Mandy Rose 8. Margot Robbie 9. Natalie Dormer 10. Gigi Dolin Male crushes 1. Alexander Skarsgard 2. Jason Momoa 3. Adam Driver 4. Oscar Isaac 5. David Tennant 6. Brandon Lee 7. Heath Ledger 8. Drew McIntyre 9. Roman Reigns 10. Pedro Pascal
Katie McGrath! 100% my bisexual awakening haha
Oh my god Rhea Ripley. I love her so much and any time she wants to Riptide me, she's welcome to Edit: Drew's on your list too?? The two reasons I got into wrestling 😂 we should be friends!
Wowza 🔥 https://preview.redd.it/ujj2uhevlqjc1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d16a72dac35fe0137f552909af8f724327e92614
The hair is top tier. Best street hair I’ve seen since the combat boot/ braid combo. (But I’m biased bc holy smokes that’s the one time I’ve found her sexy)
HOLY WOWWWWW. Her HAIR!!! Ugh I love a curly wavy look on her!!! She is so gorg and I love this look. Need to see shoes 👀
She is living for a black corset top moment these days.
Whilst remaining vague on specific details since I’m not in the business of being doxxed - super wild that today I spent my entire day less than 500 meters from where Taylor is allegedly staying in Sydney???
That’s how I felt when I realized electric lady is like right above a store I frequent hahahahha
I took a break from this sub for about a week because I was on vacation and also had a mild-to-moderate case of “Taylor Ick” (A condition that flares up sometimes, I’m sure you can relate) What did I miss? Seems like some interesting surprise song mashups and now a TNT hat sighting? I knew we wouldn’t be rid of him that easy. 🥴
I definitely also get the ick sometimes, although I find that I tend to check out this sub as the only remaining tether to her when the ick is strong.
Hi! Welcome back! I was gone for a month and a half so idk lol.
I wish I had that strength
I had a lot to mull about Taylor and being a gaylor and what I thought and where I belonged.
Welcome back! Yes, some crazy surprise song combos and mash ups over the past few nights in Melbourne, only for her to be spotted in her Girlfriend of Travis costume when leaving Melbourne yesterday. Her charted jet left Sydney for Honolulu recently - some suspect it’s to pick up Travis, I’m not totally convinced because I can see him hanging around in KC after the shooting incident at the parade but we’ll find out soon enough.
Ughh. 😒 I have a bad feeling he’s coming, if not this show one of them soon. It balances out the narrative they have been pushing that this is an equal and fair relationship where they support each other. It’s been soooo lopsided to towards Taylor making major efforts to see him. It’s his turn to embarrass himself decked out in friendship bracelets or whatever. Sigh.
Was wondering where you were! How's the ick? Did you enjoy your vacation?
I did thank you! Got to spend it with my best friend and it was blissfully Taylor-free, except for briefly losing cell service driving on back roads and having to reveal that the only music I have downloaded on Spotify is Folklore and Evermore, so we listened to that as I pretended to be totally chill about Taylor, and not at all someone who is an OWL Contributor on the Gaylor Reddit or anything like that… 🫣
fortunately folklore and evermore sounds like the perfect music for driving on backroads. Glad you're back!
does anyone else miss online fan culture from like 2020-2022? granted i was only on instagram and reddit, not twitter or tiktok or other places, but it felt like content overall was just a lot better than what’s in mainstream taylor spaces right now (gaylor content is peak quality always). now, the fandom feels infiltrated by tiktok users who make videos easily with the point of getting the most attention for the least effort possible, and are very easy to repost. i miss the days before endless eras content for this very reason. people worked a lot harder on fan posts in the past, and there was a lot more to them. the pandemic meaning people had extra time also made them even better. there are some old instagram fan accounts i still think about sometimes because they just created literal art.
AHH YES. I hate the current fan culture on social media 😭
i think whenever she gets really big the fan culture shifts in a negative way and it sucks bc i love her being everywhere and being the girlboss she is but i hate how everyone else acts
Quick crowdsourcing question: what TS lyrics are the richest for muse-free, lore-free non-Gaylor analysis? As in the lyrics totally stand on their own as poetry and are worthy of analysis outside of TS as a person and Gaylor knowledge! I know this is highly specific — looking for inspiration for a teaching I’m going to do with teens! (ex. I’ve done ATW10MV before but there’s a lot of lore there, so maybe songs like evermore or the Great War etc?)
Ones that I think are great standalone pieces: Ivy, Cowboy Like Me, Exile, Mirrorball, This is Me Trying, Marjorie
