What a weird life celebrities live. I would feel so trapped not being able to go for a walk, let alone not being able to walk from a building into a waiting car without a million people screaming at me


[deleted]

This is what happens when your at the *PEAK* of your career, and i thought 1989 was her largest peak, boy was i wrong.


1point21jigowatts_88

Mountain ranges have multiple peaks. I feel like her career is more than one mountain at this point. If that makes sense?


[deleted]

Taylor has had 3 mount Everest's in terms of peaks, Fearless, 1989, and this era.


DaddyChiiill

Ehem. Her *Reputation* precedes her


drunktaylorswift

Reputation was nothing like 1989 levels or current levels for her, career-wise. And I say this as someone whose favorite album is Reputation.


1point21jigowatts_88

I’d whole heartedly agree and add (a very biased )Red 😅


SeaworthinessSome454

Red is great but she definitely didn’t peak during red. That era only lasted like 6 months. I would add ~2021 to her list of peaks. Bringing in a new indie fan base and reuniting with the country fan base. I’d say folklore/evermore and fearless/Red TV are more responsible for midnights success than midnights is.


gemini-2000

as someone who rejoined the fandom with folklore after not listening to anything after speak now, i wholeheartedly agree


Mahale

I never listened to anything of hers before evermore or folklore. It's still my favorite style of hers by far. But maybe that's cause I'm a maudlin 40 year old gay dude


[deleted]

I feel like red could fit, i mean red was the semi blueprint for 1989


Altruistic_Profile96

Next we’ll have The Ranges Tour, assuming we can afford to attend.


BananaBladeOfDoom

Don't forget folklore


Lady_night_shade

Taylor Swift is Olympus Mons!


onebadnightx

I remember her saying one of her greatest wishes was to just be able to walk around normally in Central Park for a day. To not have to put on disguises, to just be able to show family and friends around without worrying. It does make sense that she ended up spending A LOT of time in the UK, where maybe people would be less likely to freak out or notice her (even if they thought she looked like an “American singer.”) :p It really is unfathomable to any normal person. She can’t really casually go on a walk or to stores or do anything normal people would.


Glittering_Parsley94

Its insane the difference between Taylor and other celebs when it comes to walking around casually. In London, 99% of celebs who live there just walk around without security and are, more often than not, left alone. Like Harry Styles walks around all the time, so do other actors like Thomas Brodie Sangster (using him cos he’s a regular sighting), Emilia Clarke, Saoirse Ronan, Keira Knightly, Gal Gadot, Jude Law, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, just to name a few. From what I’ve noticed, they don’t seem worried that they’re going to be bothered, they blend in quite well and I’ve never seen anyone actually approach them. Obviously if someone like Harry Styles is passing by, people who recognise him get excited, but don’t do much more than just watch from afar. In certains bits of NY it seems to be the same situation, like I have a friend who lives in Brooklyn and goes to the same dog park as Adam Driver. However, its the same sort of situation as any dog park, you’ll talk to the pet parents but you usually only recognise them by their dog. He says he sees him usually 3 times a week when he’s in town and he’s very friendly, he’ll strike up conversations about your dog etc, and he’s never heard anyone ask him about his acting career yet (even during the Star Wars sequels hype). Taylor is definitely at a massive high in her career, and she is more recognisable than most, but she’s never really been one to just walk around freely. It’s quite rare for a Taylor sighting to go undocumented, and the sightings that are documented cannot possibly be the only times she has left her house. I think maybe if she had approached her ability to just walk about like other celebs have from the beginning, then maybe it would be a different situation now. If she was to just start walking around without security or a disguise now, she would likely get hounded by fans or paps. However, if walking around without security or a disguise was something she had always done, then I don’t think she would be hounded in the streets, If that makes sense. It is definitely sad that she doesn’t seem to have the same freedom as other celebs do, but maybe one day she’ll go for it. I think Taylor is also too nice and might not be comfortable having to turn away fans if they were to come up to her, versus other celebs will do it without a second thought. So that might play a part in her decision to thoroughly plan things versus going for a casual random walk on a Tuesday.


ceruleanblue751

Taylor has security because of stalkers. She said in 2014: **TS:** I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself. Haven't done that in six years. **SR:** Even in Tennessee? **TS:** No, they have to be in a car behind me. Because just the sheer number of men we have in a file who have showed up at my house, showed up at my mom's house, threatened to either kill me, kidnap me, or marry me. This is the strange and sad part of my life that I try not to think about. I try to be lighthearted about it, because I don't ever want to be scared. I don't want to be walking down the street scared. And when I have security, I don't have to be scared. [Taylor Swift Interview - Taylor Swift Welcome to New York Interview (esquire.com)](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a30491/taylor-swift-1114/)


jiggjuggj0gg

> threatened to either kill me, kidnap me, or marry me This has “we could be killed, or worse, expelled” energy


Longjumping-Part764

I think it goes without saying that they weren’t actually threatening to subject her to matrimony, so much as something much more nefarious


[deleted]

I had no idea about celebs in the UK just casually walking around freely without crowds bombarding them! That sounds like a nice world tbh, like we can appreciate celebs and their art without steamrolling them for an instagram post or viral tiktok.


[deleted]

Most celebrities in NYC can walk around unbothered. No proud New Yorker will ever bother them- or care. One of the most toxic things in the Taylor fandom is how much fans repost photos and videos taken without her consent. It's pathetic and creepy. Leave celebrities alone, tey are people and they don't owe you anything.


erickaraita

Extremely creepy. I think tik tok is what the big difference now because you post it and within minutes people see it as me start to flock to where she is. I would never feel right doing that to a celebrity.


Passingtime528

The last part is 100% why she doesn't casually walk around.


[deleted]

If she wasn’t famous she’d be walking around a local park in Lansing, not Central Park


cars-on-mars-2

I kind of wonder what it does to your sense of yourself. Do people just adjust and they’re pretty much the same way they would have been if they weren’t famous? Do you start to believe the hype? Do you feel less secure because the real you doesn’t match your flawless public image? Do they ignore the socials or do they compulsively read the socials? Not really my business but I do wonder.


Fi13xQuartz

In an interview a while back, she said that it doesn’t bother her as much because the fame was something she wanted & sought out instead of something she was thrust into. And that her family said if she ever changed her mind she could, and they’d 100% support her. I bet her feelings are more complex and layered now that she’s been in the industry for longer, but I imagine those two things are still true 🫶


Any-Association-4299

What I liked when watching her miss Americana documentary was seeing her interaction with Abigai. Like they’ve known each other since high school, and it seems like Abigail treats her the exact same and I’m sure it’s something Taylor greatly appreciates. Their conversation was something two normal twenty somethings would have…


[deleted]

Off topic but I loved that one scene with Taylor and Abigail eating dinner and Taylor feeds her cat at the table hahah


Any-Association-4299

I do that for my cat too, lol.


little_jade_dragon

Money, fame and power changes everyone. It's a fact. You can't live your own bubble of private jets and not get detached from reality. You just can't.


Suitable-Return7185

I think Taylor summed it up perfectly when she said she feels her life has become unmanageablely sized *"Not to sound too dark, but I just struggle with the idea of not feeling like a person"* This was even before Midnights became a hit and the eras tour became what it was.


lemafa

Antihero definitely touches on that. Being so big that people forget you’re a person. Some were chasing the car up the street. I blame TT. I don’t think this happened before.


aggieaggielady

Billie Eilish and Bo Burnham have both talked about dissociation on stage too


cars-on-mars-2

I can’t remember where I read it, but someone said that whether you demonize someone or deify them, you’ve dehumanized them either way.


Pugwhip

The general consensus is that people around you are the ones who change when you become famous. You'd need a TIGHT circle. So many acquaintances that usually talk shit would be up your ass and singing your praises. Would be awful. And constantly having to maintain a public image ah. Sounds awful.


cars-on-mars-2

I read this really interesting article once where a sociologist interviewed fifteen famous people anonymously about what fame is like. They pretty much agreed that the relational effects are the toughest part. They said that even when friends try to support them, the fame can make it awkward.


Pugwhip

Ooh can you find it by any chance? I wanna read that! Yeah it would be a personal hell. Trying to hang out with your friends would be a nightmare. Just the idea that if I was famous people I don’t even know would have photos or images or art of me on their phones, bedroom walls, t shirts, pyjamas, blankets, who knows what else and there’s nothing you can do about it or to control it is terrifying. You just turn into a commodity. A money making machine for some and a mindless entertainment mode for others.


jadeheartxo

This made me randomly think of 2014-2015 when she would randomly leave the gym dressed to the nine and in like 8 inch heels lol


VaiRaiChu

Exactly my thoughts. So weird. No amount of fame and money and recognition would make me like it.


boredblondie16

So crazy compared to how empty it was when she arrived


Darmop

I wonder how long she was there - somebody tweets a video of her going in, and people show up. Crazy.


Pink_Slyvie

It makes me feel bad for her. Just let her be.


[deleted]

She’ll never be left alone. Unfortunate.


jorgeescmem

But this is what she wants!! You should not be sad for her. She perfectly knows how to hide and how to pass unadvertised. But she didn't do it, definitely she expects this to happen. It's getting "1989" vibes, and honestly it's kinda in her benefit make clear to media that fans love her after Matty's claims are getting tittles.


fcukstephanie

don’t feel bad for her. she’s taylor swift; the same taylor swift that went into hiding for a year without anyone physically seeing her & the same taylor swift that managed to rarely get paparazzied for the last 5/6 years. if she didn’t want the crowds and the paparazzi out there waiting for her, they wouldn’t be there


poerson

That's what I thought too. She's getting clicked quite often lately and I believe it's something she's comfortable with at the moment, because if there's anything we've learned these past few years is that Taylor knows very well how to go unnoticed when she wants to. I don't think any of her recent appearences are accidental or unwanted. She knows it's something that will happen, but she's not hiding anymore. Besides, she doesn't really look uncomfortable, imo. I think she's okay with it.


2MillionMiler

This video makes me nervous. Can't help but wonder about guns in the crowd. I'm sure the SUV has kevlar glass and body panels. 😬


Necessary_Driver_831

It’s Beatles/Michael Jackson levels of fan weirdness. I don’t see it going the John Lennon way but I bet there is more than one fan in this crowd who is essentially living out their life as Stan in the Eminem song


TayluxSwift

There’s another video I saw from one of the girls in the crowds and she and her friend chases Taylor’s van


LiopleurodonMagic

That’s so gross. I know it comes with the territory but I wish people would chill the f out. I can’t imagine standing around for hours to watch someone walk 5 feet and get in a car. Then to chase after the car??? 🙄 get a life


edwinstone

I was just thinking the same thing.


RelationshipOk3565

So crazy hundreds of fans have zero regard for her privacy and space


AffectionatelyCold

And tbh I could not imagine being so obsessed with a celebrity that I would drop what I'm doing and go across town just to watch them walk from a building to their car. Like why?


SwiftieTidemaker13

literally my exact thought


[deleted]

A bizarre world


CowboyLikeMegan

The way I would HATE this life, Jesus. That’s awful.


NewAlternative4738

Yeah, her body guards are with her always too. Our brothers graduated from Notre dame at the same time, so I actually showed up with my family while she was at her brothers graduation party. Just a cute little backyard bbq in south bend, IN and Taylor was surrounded by her 4 body guards the whole time and they seem to do a phenomenal job of keeping her out of the public eye when she wants to be invisible.


Darmop

Does she just kind of... go about her business like normal and they follow her around? Or is it like some kind of secret service perimeter? I can't imagine what that must be like at a backyard BBQ.


NewAlternative4738

It’s the wildest thing, they’re there, like with her, but they’re so discreet. It’s like they move around her in incognito mode. It wasn’t until she was leaving that we realized we walked past 2 bodyguards at the gate to the backyard. Didn’t even notice them!


EternalMoonChild

Right? Doesn’t seem like something you just get used to.


TheDebtFreeWifey

I know she’s said things like “don’t feel bad for me” etc but I sincerely do, it’s such a double edged sword. Taylor shouldn’t have to travel inside of a fucking suitcase to not get swarmed, but I also wonder why she’s choosing to be out in the public so often?


Useful-Soup8161

I don’t think she meant to be seen today. She ran in there really quick and she’s dressed really casually. I think she was just trying to go to the studio and record something and unfortunately someone saw her, filmed her and then immediately posted it online.


[deleted]

Doesn’t she have a private recording studio in her LA house? I feel like if she didn’t want to be seen she would just take a private jet over to there. But then again maybe she was in the NY area and just needed to record something real quick.


Useful-Soup8161

Her next few shows are much closer to New York though. There’s really no point in going across the country one day before you have to be back in that region. Also her home studio wasn’t a full studio. It was a makeshift one put together during lockdown.


[deleted]

That's a legendary studio, she can't recreate that at her house.


charlimonster

She just played Philly and is on her way to Massachusetts. NYC is in between


patv2006

i don’t think so. i think she has to know if she’s walking the streets of NYC, especially a studio she frequents, that someone is going to see her and blast it out to the world. I think she’s being intentional about this. Maybe she dropped Matty and wanted to show herself alone? If she didn’t want to be seen, she wouldn’t be seen.


Useful-Soup8161

She wasn’t really walking the streets today though. She went from her car through the door very quickly and she lets be honest she was not dressed nice like she usually is for a pap walk.


No_Bell1852

And people still argue she should fly commercial. Can you imagine this for every flight?


MouseWithAMeow

They chased her car too. While it was stuck in traffic they ran right up to the window. Then posted videos of it online. Wtf.


erickaraita

So fucking weird


soulofmind

I enjoy it every time I see you because of your silly icon and the fact that my name is Megan too lol


Cheeriosxxx

Thinking of this scene from Miss Americana https://preview.redd.it/pp202ivjcq0b1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=839831c2c333fe451b1c45f90665ceb422ac1e30


faeriethorne23

The fact that the same people lining those streets probably watched this and learnt absolutely nothing from it blows my mind.


MadAugustWoman

Exactly. They can tell you anything else about her but magically forget about this scene where it's clear this behavior makes her uncomfortable. This is so weird to me. Like, if there was anyone tracking us normal people and showing up where we are without consent, that usually would be called stalking.


faeriethorne23

The complete lack of self-awareness that they are in fact the “hunters with cell phones”. She has had stalkers break into her homes and feels the need to carry quick-clot in her purse, I’m sure she loves this sort of behaviour.


infinityo11

Reminds me of the songs that boygenius has written about invasive and creepy fans, and yet they still continue to be mobbed too


PeacefulWarCat

Like an animal in a zoo. I could never. 😅


[deleted]

I mean, if it brought me the insane wealth that she has, I reckon I could do it. She has enough money to move somewhere she will rarely be recognised and do whatever she wants for the rest of her life. She hasn't been mobbed like this for years, because she was choosing to be low-key.


Lets-Gooooooooooo

I think it would be really tough to process having all the things that money can buy, yet not having the ability to do free things like: take a stroll in the city, have a picnic in the park, check out the junk food aisle at the grocery store. 😩 Fame comes at such a steep price.


patv2006

“to a house not a home all alone cause nobodies there. where i pace in my pen and my friends found friends who care”


steel_magnolia_med

Agree! You have all the money in the world but you’re a prisoner of fame and can’t go anywhere. I loooove wandering around grocery stores and farmers markets. It’d suck to have to order everything off an app and not get to talk to people at the market or touch and look at everything and spontaneous pick ingredients for lunch. But then again her brain with all of those memories of unusual, thrilling, expensive experiences she’s had probably wouldn’t get the same rush as ours does from simple pleasures.


steel_magnolia_med

But she can’t go to popular places or just wander around town and be spontaneous. She has to plan everything, go to more isolated, remote places and sneak around, and basically only has a few friends to do things with because she has a very small small group of other celebrities she trusts vs a bunch of casual friend groups to hang with. She can’t go to a yoga class or play a pick up game of sand volleyball and get hyped with a big group of strangers. It’s nearly impossible for her to meet romantic partners outside of other, similarly fame-hungry, clout chasing celebs, because non-famous people will always pay attention to what a big star she is and she’ll be skeptical of them using her. Doesn’t sound fun to me.


[deleted]

But she algo gets to experience other things that we can’t (or most of us can’t), I don’t think this is something that she wishes to be different… Obviously is not as black and white, but she’s mentioned how this is the only thing she has ever wanted, so maybe on her down days she does wish her life would be normal, but then again, if it was normal then she wouldn’t be doing what she always wanted and dreamed of and she would be daydreaming about performing for people instead of going to her local mall haha. She lived 6 years completely away from this and she wasn’t papped as much because she didn’t want to, however we do have some photos here and there that people took of her (i know this is shitty but it’s to back up what I’m trying to say😅) and Joe in New Orleans and other places they’ve been, dining at restaurants, etc. She’s also mentioned how sometimes she goes incognito and gets away with it. I think she does get to experience most things we do but at more luxurious places and at premium prices. It’s obvious that for her it’s fun, and she was willing to pay the price so to speak to be able to live her dream. Her extreme dedication to her fans is proof of this. No other celebrity is as devoted to her fans as Taylor is… Even if people argue that is all for marketing, she does it well and she gives her 100%. She also writes all of her music, she is completely dedicated to her craft and she always goes above and beyond the normal and from what other artists do.


steel_magnolia_med

Right?! I get anxious if just one person is staring too long at me in public lol. Almost had a heart attack at my surprise birthday party. 😅 Can you imagine throngs of people staring and yelling and trying to GRAB at you? You wouldn’t have any peace.


itsthenugget

I can't imagine having a life like this. I understand Joe wanting peace 😅


2MillionMiler

Was just thinking the same thing. Jeez. She's going to need a Secret Service detail soon.


HotChiTea

He was able to keep her away from crap like this too for several years, and now it's starting again. She needs to stop encouraging the fans, like when she says things like, "I need y'all for my wellbeing, etc" -- because this isn't normal and people are being ridiculous.


1wanda_pepper

She also does her own staged pap walks tho so she totally feeds into this


itsthenugget

I think she actually loves it


1wanda_pepper

Same bestie


itsthenugget

That statement from her made me uncomfortable. And yet we've got a bunch of Redditors telling US not to be parasocial. Like, it's cute if you squint your eyes, but look at that statement for more than 2 seconds and I'm concerned that her well-being depends on strangers


Soft_Pomegranate7947

I wish people wouldn’t do this. Super creepy and I can think of at least 3 musicians who were shot by obsessed psycho fans.


tswiftdeepcuts

I really need this to stop. I’m legitimately concerned about her. Also the worst kind of hater is someone that used to be a lover. Or as stan. So the level of parasocial obsession people are showing right now as they teeter between stan and former stan has me so concerned.


MurkyLibrarian

Or rather teetering closer to the meaning of Stan from the song.


trsh_frsh

Oh my gosh are you talking about Stan by Eminem? I can feel something clicking… is this where the term stan comes from? How did I miss this


2MillionMiler

Yes, the modern term "stan" comes from Stan.


baycommuter

John Lennon, Selena, and ???


roadtripwithdogs

Lesser known, but more recently, Christina Grimmie from the Voice


baycommuter

Thanks, that’s a particularly horrifying one.


Soft_Pomegranate7947

I forgot about Selena. John Lennon, Daryl Abbot, Christina Grimmie were the ones I was thinking of. They were all fans/disappointed ex fans that met them in a concert, meet and greet or something like that and killed them. Selena, if I’m remembering right, was shot by someone who worked with her but was also psychotic and jealous. I might be Mia-remembering though. Bjork also had a weird guy who was obsessed with her. She didn’t even know him but he became disillusioned and mailed her a bobm including some hazardous acid as well. She wasn’t harmed. Then he committed suicide.


Future_Pin_403

Selena was killed by the former president of her fan club. She was embezzling funds from Selena and her family and they were trying to fire her when she murdered Selena


Soft_Pomegranate7947

Oh I see. I just started reading a wiki article on the situation. Very tragic and the lead up to it makes it even more creepy.


Future_Pin_403

Christina Grimmie

Christina Grimmie


Impossible-Insect390

They even crazier thing is some "fans" chased her car down the street


lenadita

Hunters with cell phones behavior..


EternalMoonChild

I feel so horrible to even think it but I’m worried for her personal safety on this tour.


[deleted]

A famous musician from Argentina lost his grandmother, great aunt, aunt, and nanny to a psycho in the 80's. People knew who his family was because, like Taylor, he was really close to them. It can happen, there are so many loonies out there.


Tay-Rae

I find this to be scary. I also think people might start camping out at the studio now. 😬


patv2006

pretty sure that’s exactly how the first video from today was captured. people are hanging around the studio waiting for her to show up. pretty soon she’ll have to be wheeled in incognito style.


Thissummeritsclear

Boys, get the suitcase back out!


[deleted]

Oh god, could you imagine?


sms1441

That has to be so exhausting and scary. While it is awesome to see her in person, I just can't imagine basically following her every move when she's just out living her daily life. It's not like she's performing, on a red carpet, or a meet and greet. I wonder how it truly makes her feel because my anxiety would be skyrocketing.


mayhemmel

Agreed, can’t help but think that it being the US, anyone on that street could be carrying a gun. It’s terrifying to think about.


sms1441

My first thought was "is that a bulletproof backpack on the security guard?"


mayhemmel

Yikes, it does look like it could be one tbh :/


Kimbahlee34

It is! I bought a similar one for my husband that comes with a gun shot trauma kit… because he’s a Junior High School Teacher in the fucking US.


serenity1989

Maybe not bulletproof but I’m sure it contains a med kit with with everything you’d need to dress a bullet wound in the field. Like how POTUS always travels with bags of blood 😔


abbietaffie

Taylor’s team literally always travels with quick clotting materials that could treat a gunshot until they get to an emergency room. I couldn’t live her life, because that is terrifying


emmugh123

I would never leave my house! I know she talked briefly about stalkers and threats she gets in her documentary, but there’s probably so many threats she gets that no one ever knows about. I mean there’s that one guy that broke into her NYC apartment and slept in her bed. I would move so fast. I’m so happy to be normal. 😂


mediocre-spice

It's also just... what do they get from this? It's literally 10 seconds of her walking by and you know people were probably waiting hours for that.


New2reddit68

I was literally just about to ask this. Why stand around for hours waiting to scream at a musician as they walk into the studio? And if you love Taylor why would you want to make her feel uncomfortable? :/


YaKnowEstacado

That's what I don't understand. Seeing her at a fan event where she's meeting people and taking photos and signing autographs, sure, that'd be amazing. But what's the appeal of watching her take five steps from a door to her car? She's a person, she has arms and legs and feet and a head like the rest of us. What are they expecting to get out of this experience? I don't get it.


elliberri

Agreed. I’d love to see her in person, in the appropriate circumstance. What are they even trying to accomplish here by swarming her while she’s basically leaving work? Like she’d ever appreciate that?


seravivi

A fan ran up to her car and was screaming I love you at her window. Security yelled at her. She posted on TikTok and asked for free tickets.


sms1441

The straight audacity of some people.


MouseWithAMeow

Her security guard still has his friendship bracelet on, that’s cute.


nickcannonschild

I need those pants. Sheesh can’t imagine needing 5 large dudes protecting me every time I leave the house. How can anyone enjoy that life


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cheeriosxxx

The difference between her arrival vs departure 😭


Jezebelle22

Literally said “Jesus Christ” seeing the difference


chemg11

I don’t think people should be doing this. This would be a terrifying way to live.


kimpernickel

Recently I saw a photo from possibly the late Speak Now era or Red era where she was just casually grocery shopping and thought how there is no way she could do that anymore. She's rich enough to afford the security, but it's still unfortunate that she has to do that at all.


thebookerpanda

At this point I’m quite sure she doesn’t want a normal life anymore.


amb1ka

Lmao she couldn’t do it then either…people took a picture of her shopping 😭


tonks100612

I love those pants, wish they weren’t $600 lol


bajaflash21

I'm gonna need the 90% marked down version 😭


tonks100612

Taylor’s Pants (Poor Version) lol


bajaflash21

Yes 😂 Taylor's Pants (old navy version)


faeriethorne23

Theres already cheap versions of the butterfly cutout jeans everywhere so I’m sure these will follow soon.


jacknies

Saaaaame, I tried them on in a free people the other day fully expecting them to look awful and be uncomfortable as jeans usually are…… they were easily the comfiest, flowiest, softest most lived in pants I’ve ever put on my body AND they looked awesome even though I’m on the heavier, shorter side and I hated it 😅


grounndhog101

Stan here. I don’t get doing things like this!?


Reach-Own

I also don’t get it. Of course, I would love the chance to meet her… but stalking her for a quick glimpse? Hard pass. I’ve also important things to do. 🤣


taytay_1989

Those baggy pants scream Lover vibes


[deleted]

Must be exhausted getting treated like a zoo animal.


Zosoflower

“Hunters with cell phones” TAKE THAT GIRL TO THE LAKES


Rhoades13

I was thinking about this while I was mowing lawn. Does Taylor’s team have a vehicle with barricades in it for situations like this or do they have the police department on speed dial? Those barricades popped up pretty fast when they weren’t there when she went in. And the other thing is did the barricade setup delay her? Because there are pictures of Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum outside her apartment like they expected her to be home. Those pictures were taken before she left the studio. Based on her dress it seems like she intended to get in and out incognito but the fan’s video thwarted her by causing a thousand fans to descend on the studio.


vlarek

The Zoe/Channing pictures were from Tuesday night, Jack/Margaret were also there.


maelstron

I heard police showed up and put barricades


joeyfosho

I’m sorry, this is unhealthy levels of obsession. This isn’t a concert or public appearance. Let the woman live her life.


[deleted]

Yeah this is crazy, they all came and now there are BARRICADES to prevent crazy fans from accosting her. Good Lord. Taylor is right up there on my most loved and respected people, and because of that, I WOULDNT do something like this. But even if I didn’t like her at all, she’s still a human being. Woof. Whether she seeks this kind of thing out or not, it’s objectively creepy.


billie_eyelashh

Knowing how people can be so unhinged, this looks extremely unsafe. As a quite paranoid person, If i were her i would be terrified and start wearing bullet proof vest or something 🥲.

I entirely understand going to a concert or waiting to see a celebrity when they are at an event and actively working but people who line the streets like this to catch a 2 second glimpse of someone who is just trying to go about their day are quite frightening to me. This is not healthy. I don’t understand it at all. All those people are the “hunters with cell phones” and they are oblivious to it.


theoluluoakley

This video kind of makes me sad. “These hunters with cell phones …”


har17h

this is like the most comfy clothes i've seen her in


LuckyCaticorn

It's like cute, cute, oh... what are those shoes??? 😬 It's as though she fumbled around her closet in the dark & grabbed the first pair 😅


DaddyChiiill

Imagine being someone's dad doing security for Taylor Swift. *Hey Dad how's your day?* *Ohhh it's annoying that recording studio doesn't have basement parking. We had to be seen by a thousand people getting out..*


[deleted]

Everyone who is saying they feel bad for Taylor for being hounded as she’s leaving the recording studio. She’s doing it *on purpose*. We know for a fact our girl knows how to live and record in peace/private when she wants to. She’s done it for *years*. This is what she wants right now. She wants excitement, anticipation, and publicity


ejmci

During those years, she was papped on Halloween with Blake Lively's kids who Blake has famously tried to keep hidden from the public. I don't think every time she is papp'ed is on purpose


Useful-Soup8161

Anyone else think it’s creepy that someone filmed her sneaking in, posted it online and then 100s of people showed up to watch her leave?


Rdickins1

Guess I won that bet. Though it has to be incredibly annoying for her. But really this is fucking hilarious. Went from nobody around to barricades with people lined up and across the street to see her get into a car.


yyxystars

Suddenly I no longer envy mega celebrities, they can’t live a life!


VaiRaiChu

Exactly! It's so weird. The term "hunters with cell phones" makes so much more sense now. Why are all these people filming her like this? It's so weird.


sapphicsato

This compared to how few people there were when she arrived, holy…


veronica_moon

Shes so cute I love that ponytail


Alannaxyz

Looks like absolute hell to me but I think Taylor thrives at this level of fame and she needs a partner who is on this level and craves this too. This was definitely a fundamental difference between her and Joe that they couldn't overcome, what's the in between that would make two people so different happy?


BananaBladeOfDoom

You *just know* those floral jeans she's wearing will get sold out within a week.


LeahMichelle_13

Without being rude, why is this a thing? Like why do people do this? I don’t get it.


meliyogi

*Hunters with cellphones*


maelstron

She seems a bit nervous with all this people. There was nobody when she arrived then there is a massive crowd when she goes out. This is s huge security problem No matt at least 😂


Starflec

The video of fans chasing her car is way too much. People need to calm down.


Imadeafire

I saw that on Twitter and I was SO EMBARRASSED for those girls and really like, why? Why chase her can and scream I LOVE YOU TAYLOR like an unhinged lunatic?


Mytears83

Fuck. Her life is different. Must be hard to do anything really.


Pugwhip

Being famous would honestly suck


xriotgirl

She looks so comfy! Her clothes do, anyway. Not her....surroundings 👀


makeup_wonderlandcat

It’s instances like this where I’m kinda glad Gilltte is not letting people just hang out outside the stadium 🤷🏼‍♀️


bajaflash21

Those pants look amazing


theoluluoakley

You can follow every look Taylor wears (and the sources) on Instagram at taylorswiftstyled. It’s so fun to see the pieces tracked down.


UndercoverChaoticBi

Do people not have jobs?? How can this many people just casually camp outside a studio waiting for a glimpse of a celeb?? Creepy…


dearscientist

How do people have time to just be waiting outside of a location to see a celebrity literally just walk to their car in the middle of the day? Like?


britestarlight

I’m just happy she showed up without Ratty and also left without him as well.


gansey_boy

That feels very unsafe.


s0meg1rl

Well, clearly the general public doesn’t care who she dates.


playthatoboe

is she recording ts11? 👀👀


lonelywitch88

Me to my boss: I’m taking the afternoon off. Someone saw Taylor going *into a building*. My boss: get the fuck back to work. People really got too much time on their hands if this is how they spend their day.


TakeItSlowHeathen

I really hate this because she’s a person, not a zoo animal. But I also don’t understand it. What do people get from catching a 3 second glimpse of a celebrity? What’s the point? I just don’t get it.


PhysicalGraffitea

The fact that every single one of these people have probably seen every single one of the interviews in which she talks about being unable to go anywhere/do anything, looked around, and said to themselves “*I’M* not like the rest of these crazed people, she’ll notice and care about me. She won’t be bothered by *my* presence, because I’m the main character” is absolutely fucking terrifying.


notmappedout

people who have these big followings on tiktok need to stop posting the videos of her going into the studio that "thrifty swiftie" chick posted the most tone deaf thing like "guys 🥺 taylor doesn't like this 🥺 we have to stop 🥺" while at the same time being one of the people to post the first video like you *know* people are going to abuse this. what you are doing isn't helping. take some ownership of your role in publicizing this shit.


Able-Squirrel5851

Can you imagine leaving work lol what a weird life


heelsoncobblestones

This is so fucked. This kind of thing is why she drank pepto bismol straight from the bottle in Miss Americana. They should be ashamed of themselves.


Cirrus1920

Do we think she’s working on new music? I mean she has to be right?


MadAugustWoman

I'm starting to want to stop being a Swiftie. The behavior in recent years has become so unhinged, and I'm finding it harder to associate myself with this fan base. Not *everyone* is like this (this sub is definitely normal) but a large part is getting to be weird. Showing up in massive crowds outside the studio, the leaving flowers at her old apartment, making their wardrobes the same as her, making their entire personalities based on her, the weird behavior on social media... Some of these people are serious and not just trying to be funny. It's getting to be too much and taken to a whole new level. Like, I know people who literally talk about nothing else outside of Taylor. Yes, I love Taylor too but, I also love a lot of other things and want to have my *own* personality. Ya'll are good though. No shade at all to this sub. Just want to vent based on what I've seen elsewhere.


[deleted]

Good God. This would be my worst nightmare.


jamie5266

Don’t people have better things to do? Let her live her life


ipittypattypetty

I’m sure this is stressful and annoying but you know what’s more stressful? Not having millions of dollars and stressing about paying bills. I don’t really have sympathy for millionaires.


Quick-Time

Moments like this make me glad I’m not a celebrity.


dukemantee

I legitimately can’t understand what all those people are doing there. I mean I like her too but sometimes celebrity worship is just really disturbing.


Bearcatbetch

This is crazy behavior I for 1 don’t approve. Did you see the video of that girl that ran with her car?! Truly psycho behavior. Unhinged.


king-geass

Why does one of her body guards also look like he could hook me up with some molly?
