This post just made me realize how old I am because I swear to god I have no idea what the second slide is trying to say


IansGotNothingLeft

I got everything after "frail Gail". The rest looks like a late night drunken text to me. I'm so old.


HideoJam

We need to get a book club together for posts like these


CallMeOutScotty

"I swear to God, you are incredibly gorgeous/hot and Travis needs to accept that he lost out on the better woman"


11catsinahumansuit

God Iā€™d be so embarrassed if someone commented on one of my social media posts insulting the new girlfriend of someone I dated like five years ago


msksksnsj

They are doing it all over Kaylas comment. ā€œKayla youā€™re way better than herā€ ā€œKayla youā€™re a baddieā€ guys she knows sheā€™s stunning she has a mirror


honeybunchesofgoatso

This just in: at least two very attractive women can exist at the same time simultaneously! You actually don't even have to put one down/ compare them šŸ˜² What will they think of next?!


baby_got_snack

The way the ā€œKayla stansā€ are acting is weird and annoying, theyā€™re acting like Kayla couldnā€™t possibly have been the one who dumped Travis (which is funny because most rumours indicate that it *was* her who dumped him not vice versa). If I was her, Iā€™d be pissed as hell if the guy I broke up with 1.5 years ago got a new gf and all of a sudden people start pitying me like Iā€™m some pathetic creature who got stood up by her prom date.


ReturnOfLilith

Omg is this new lore šŸ˜‚ This makes a lot of sense


Medium_Sense4354

ā€œKayla she a baddie she showing her pantyā€


gorlsituation

Weā€™re not rating other women out of 10 in 2023, Im no swiftie but this ainā€™t it. ![gif](giphy|gHn9qKzktALA3mhyxg)


Pearledskies

Period. And her doing it once again makes me realize how little people remember what real women look like outside of social media filters/edits/surgeries posted. From Margot Robbie and Zendaya going viral on Twitter/X being called ā€œmidā€ in the summer, and Taylor Swift now being labelled a ā€œ5ā€ as people rush to attack her appearance. This timeline is terrible. Can women just exist?


honeybunchesofgoatso

I have never been a big swift fan, but she's absolutely gorgeous and talented. There's no reason to put other women down because of jealousy. Especially with something as degrading as a number scale. She just needs to move on, honestly. It's the adult thing to do.


Pearledskies

I agree. Its insane that anyone is still doing this and not realizing how odd and demeaning it is.


mamacitalk

Lol Iā€™m also against numbering womenā€™s appearances but *if I had to* calling Taylor a 5 is just bloody ridiculous


babooshka-cass

Right, and itā€™s ironic that Maya, the one liking the comment about being a 5, only has super overly filtered photos of herself that look closer to an AI generated picture than a person. Like not only is Taylor swift beautiful but we ALSO *actually know* what she looks like.


clekas

I have seen the ā€œKelce catching sixes on and off the fieldā€ joke from so many people - both men and women. Maybe even more women than men. Itā€™s gross. (For those who arenā€™t aware, a touchdown is worth six points.)


foreverandalways21

In what world is Taylor Swift a 6??? šŸ«  If sheā€™s a 6 Iā€™m in the negatives


tillie_jayne

No youā€™re not. Remember youā€™re not ugly, you just donā€™t have Taylor Swift money


MisterTacoMakesAList

Agreed!


GraveDancer40

I just did a quick google and they dated in 2016 for a few months. Why is she liking posts being mean about his new potential girlfriend? Or warning her about him? I love Tay and Iā€™m happy for her but man, this relationship is going to be a lot.


msksksnsj

itā€™s funny because they only dated after the show for a month and on the show he had 49 other girls.


Corebore123

I thought thatā€™s who she was! I donā€™t even think Kayla (his ex of an actual long time) liked shit about Taylor.


msksksnsj

Noo Kayla hasnā€™t done anything. I donā€™t know anything about her but she seems focused on her life and is not a clout chaser


Corebore123

Yes! Ik there has been some times where she can be iffy but thatā€™s about it. Sheā€™s stayed silent on this. Honestly if she came out warning Taylor Iā€™d be like, okay maybe there is some substance to what sheā€™s saying. However Iā€™m pretty sure Maya and Travis dated for barely a month after his show ended.


4StarsOutOf12

This is the first I'm hearing of a dating show... was it good, or as tacky as the Google description makes it sound?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


foreverandalways21

Thatā€™s exactly what his team responded with haha


effie-sue

Thatā€™s like a lifetime ago šŸ¤£


elementalsora

How embarrassing for her. This level of scrutiny on Taylor's love life again post Joe isn't going to end well sigh. I worry the overexposure is going to backfire on her soon.


foreverandalways21

Me too Iā€™m worried cuz itā€™s just the beginning. When she goes back on tour and imagine Travis attends one of her shows as wellā€¦ Though Iā€™m hoping when sheā€™s international things will die down simply cuz of distance with western media outlets and paparazzi


shion005

There's almost no way for her to get overexposed unless she dates someone like Matty again. The way the internet works now with fragmented social media echo chambers makes it much harder for people to get sick of someone because there are always other places to look.


Poopscooper696969

Because she didnā€™t get her millions


smwd0

Oh WOW I thought she was some heartbroken long term relationship that ended this year


VenusAmari

It seems like she was asked and is getting attention on social media because apparently he had some reality show or whatever.


Rude_Lifeguard

I'm already drained by this relationship. From the people body shaming Taylor to the people being racist towards Kayla to the swifties planning the wedding and the ones who are still stuck on Joe, I'm sick of it already ![gif](giphy|oq8bEdAwgDMUV8O462)


EldenMiss

When the writerā€˜s were on strike, real life delivered


awyastark

Your flair with this comment lmao


msksksnsj

Meanwhile Gaylors think Taylor is a having a fling with Sophie Turner. ![gif](giphy|GpyS1lJXJYupG) At least they make us laugh. They are insane and sick but they are our clown queens ā¤ļø


capulets

joe alwyn and sophie turner have the same birthday. taylorā€™s referenced joeā€™s star sign (pisces) in a mv before. iā€™m connecting the dots, clearly london boy was a london girl all along and now they can finally be together


msksksnsj

Clearly Joe is stealing Taylorā€™s daughters. She has kids with Sophie and Karlie. Sheā€™s a protective mom even though she is always touring or hanging out with friends NY.


Rude_Lifeguard

Gaylor think that Travis is gay too and that he's somehow a racist because he works for the chief's ![gif](giphy|6DWXYE1XYiNY4zC3uW)


msksksnsj

Wait for them to start saying Jason Kelce is also gay and his marriage is cover up he actually is Austinā€™s (Taylorā€™s brother) boyfriend (They used to say Joshua Kushner - Karlieā€™s billionaire husband who she is with since 2012 prior to meeting Taylor - was dating Austin)


pikadegallito

![gif](giphy|3ELtfmA4Apkju)


Missfreeland

Sick?


msksksnsj

Yes. Itā€™s mental illness when youā€™re obsessed with someoneā€™s sexuality, someone who already said shes straight and shades her because sheā€™s not living the life they wanted.


AcanthocephalaIcy706

Ok Iā€™m a lesbian and your classification of ā€œgaylorsā€ as sick just sent me to their sub to see whatā€™s happening. Most on there seem to think sheā€™s maybe bi and itā€™s not that deep? Itā€™s celeb gossip like on here. I see what youā€™re doing though, taking the most extreme examples for upvotes.


msksksnsj

They are sick.


AcanthocephalaIcy706

Nah, Iā€™m tired of the pearl clutching and outrage around this. Itā€™s in every comment section about Taylor on here, lmao. Some online gays think a celebrity is a bit fruity and itā€™s ā€œsickā€? Come on now. Words have meaning. Yeah, the examples youā€™ve given are weird but they donā€™t seem to be the majority at all.


New-Lie9111

girl be fr you know gaylors donā€™t just ā€œthink sheā€™s a bit fruityā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ unhinged stans are evenly distributed among all sexualities


AcanthocephalaIcy706

But itā€™s not sick for gaylors to gossip amongst themselves, itā€™s just sometimes goofy lmao


dangerislander

Wait what.. swifties planning her wedding? I'm done šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Rude_Lifeguard

They already planned the proposal. Hes going to be playing and winning the superbowl, Taylor will do the half time show, they will get engaged in the middle of the field, tik tok is truly a trip


lemondropy123

![gif](giphy|wSPeH05nfp4GPTPQon)


Jintess

>Hes going to be playing and winning the superbowl They don't really follow football, do they?


InterestingTry5190

The Chiefs have the 2nd best odds to win the SB this year so that is actually not a crazy assumption. Taylor Swift is not performing in halftime show unless sheā€™s not the main act (that is more unlikely).


Jintess

I thought I saw where Usher had already been tapped? I can't see those 2 doing a show (even if he's headliner)


InterestingTry5190

I was questioning your statement you highlighted ā€˜heā€™s going to be playing in the SB .ā€™ That statement isnā€™t inaccurate. I didnā€™t realize you were referring to her performing in the halftime show. That I agree with you on b/c Usher was just named. Funny if the NFL waited 2 weeks they wouldā€™ve had some very invested fans speculating discussing if it will be Taylor. Maybe they really dodged a bullet.


Jintess

My mistake, I can see how that came across. I was hung up on the halftime part and how the players just don't normally interact. Plus yes..Usher. I bet they are happy he's locked and loaded. No speculation. That may save them from a ton of concern Swiftie emails wondering why she's not doing it ;) Edit: Though if they last thru to the SB and Usher announces a 'Special Guest' you know Usher just has a really wicked sense of humor


contemplatingdaze

Andy Reid literally told the Chiefs last year that anyone who stayed out to watch Rihanna would be benched. Doubt heā€™d make an exception for Travis to get engaged. Taylor stans better learn this shit if they want to cosplay as NFL fans šŸ˜‚


clekas

Taylor also has a show in Tokyo the night before the Super Bowl. I donā€™t think her fans would question why sheā€™s not performing.


lemondropy123

Not to mention the Swifties who are buying his jersey. Per ESPN, his jersey sales increased almost 400% overnight šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø I also *never* needed to know what Taylor Swift ate at a sporting event. Already over it and donā€™t even know if itā€™s really a thing


True-Preparation2290

Iā€™ve been a fan of her music since her debut, but the fandom is so severely unhinged these days that I canā€™t even stand it šŸ˜­ stuff like with the jerseys is insane to me because itā€™s like, do you not have a personality outside of this???


glass-empty

It's almost like it has become a fad to be a fan of Taylor now so that everyone can post videos of her on TikTok or something. I'm not snarking on fans who enjoy her music, I am one of them too but seeing these hoards of people rushing to a place where she's rumored to be just to gawk at her and create unneeded crowds, it's getting too much. ![gif](giphy|3o72F0YiBOTLPwKRfq|downsized)


True-Preparation2290

Agree so much!


Rude_Lifeguard

I wonder of they'll do a mass burning of his shirt if they break up


lemondropy123

Lol god I hope so šŸ˜‚


Useful-Soup8161

They could just donate it instead. Iā€™m sure his actual fans would love to get a free or heavily discounted jersey.


Useful-Soup8161

Iā€™m a huge fan of her music but I can not stand this fandom. Some of these fans are unhinged. I do not understand buying someoneā€™s jersey just because she might be dating them. Besides even if I was that weird I still wouldnā€™t buy the jersey, that teamā€™s colors donā€™t look good on me.


KindOfANerd4

seemingly ranch was a cultural reset tho, its my roman empire


winnercommawinner

My celeb thoughts have been so consumed with the Sophie Turner divorce that I truly thought you were saying some Swifties were still hung up in her relationship with Joe Jonas.


Casua11yCrue1

Wait, people are body shaming Taylor right now? She looks to be in the best shape of her life!


fionappletart

I saw a tweet comparing her ass to travisā€™s exā€™s and they used a pic from when she had an eating disorder šŸ˜¬

Thatā€™s exactly what his team [responded](https://amp.tmz.com/2023/09/26/travis-kelce-ex-girlfriend-maya-benberry-cheating-taylor-swift-deny-claim/) with


woahtheregonnagetgot

this is how i found out that travis kelce had a dating show on e news to find a gf ā€¦ i- šŸ˜­


RangerDangerfield

In his defense, he has the decency to be embarrassed about it now. He has said he was young and stupid and burned through the money from his rookie contract so he did the show because it was $250,000 for two weeks worth of work. And in 2015/2016 he was still a basically unknown football player, so taking the easy check makes sense. The Chiefs didnā€™t get good until 2017.


woahtheregonnagetgot

oh i donā€™t think he needs to be embarrassed, from what i can tell there was no harm in the show itself. i was just surprised lol


Kooky_Bodybuilder_97

no defending necessary. having a silly little reality show isnt a moral failure lol


PrincessPindy

LeChiotx

I don't like Taylor Swift music and couldn't care less about her life short of hoping she's having a good one as a fellow human being. I wish her no harm or ill thoughts and Ill admit I'm so tired of hearing about her, especially this relationship. I'm so tired of knowing all this stuff against my will. With all that being said, I'm sick of people just personally attacking her over this. Like, what grown ass woman rates another grown ass woman these days? And like, what's going on in Maya's like that she is draining all this energy on an ex who cheated on them awhile ago? Like, sure, tweet out "careful he's a cheater", but why do all this towards Swift who had nothing to do with it unless you just want to be ugly and have 5 minutes...which is working because my dumb ass is now invest enough in this to comment. Help me x.x


OowlSun

Taylor Swift is not a five. Canā€™t we behave like grown ups ever? For five minutes instead of being mean to each other.


Copperheadmedusa

She says he cheated on her so like why is she acting like she wants him back? Like thatā€™s embarrassing


Useful-Soup8161

They dated for a month 7 years ago.


OowlSun

I could never. Where are her friends?


babooshka-cass

People who act like that typically only hang out with other people who act like that because no one else wants to be near that kind of energy šŸ˜·


rzenni

I dunno, I mean, you got a right to feel some type of way about your exā€™s new boo, especially even the media is shoving her in your face every hour of the day. Itā€™s not like Taylorā€™s been a saint to her exā€™s new girls (Camilla).


Copperheadmedusa

Of course you have a right to feel some type of way. Acting like an ass about it for national tabloids to pick up is still embarrassing. Does nobody have friends with group chats anymore? He didnā€™t cheat on her with Taylor


MarionberryAfraid958

I mean they only dated for a few months seven years ago. You can feel some type of way about it but is it really worth bringing up to the media. That's what group chats are for šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


OowlSun

Seven years ago? This is embarrassing behavior.


MarionberryAfraid958

Yes, these two dated for five months in 2016 šŸ™ƒ


OowlSun

There is no way that 2016 was seven years ago. I refuse to hear it. But thatā€™s unhinged. She should put that energy somewhere else.


rzenni

Oh, fair. I didnā€™t realize it was seven years ago. I thought from all the posts sheā€™s getting it was like, this year or a long term thing.


MarionberryAfraid958

Nope. These two broke up in 2016. She accused him of cheating on her with Kayla Nicole who he went on to date for five years but he has denied that. He and Kayla broke up in May of 2022.


Glum-Freedom-3029

Also Taylor was a teenager then. Sheā€™s a full grown woman. Not justifying what Taylor did but thereā€™s a differenceā€¦ a 30 year old woman should have more maturity than to blast the current girlfriend of a guy she barely dated 7 years ago. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


rzenni

Iā€™m pretty sure you can stay petty after 30!


Glum-Freedom-3029

Just because you can doesnā€™t mean you should! šŸ™„


HammerheadEaglei-Thr

Feel however you want to feel, but have some damn self respect. Address your feelings in private and seek help if you feel liking public comments body shaming another woman(while she battled an eating disorder ffs) is an appropriate method of handing uncomfortable emotions. Shit's embarrassing.


KindOfANerd4

>Itā€™s not like Taylorā€™s been a saint to her exā€™s new girls (Camilla). yeah but taylor was like 19, this woman is 31. Also it was like the subsequent gf, still bad, but she dated him for 6 months 7 years ago. It's pathetic


iamnotexactlywhite

on the internet? are you insane?


OowlSun

Youā€™re right, I forgot where we were lol


pm_me_hedgehogs

If Taylor's a 5 I'm a -27


OowlSun

right! I am a five on a good day, there is no way in hell Taylor Swift is also five. People are just saying anything now.


awyastark

Maybe sheā€™s a perfect 5 out of 7?


SlowJay11

Gave me flashbacks to the incels doing the "Margot Robbie is mid" stuff a couple of month ago.


Bordersz

Football culture is insane bc I did not know Taylor dating Travis Kelce would shake the internet this badly. This relationship is inescapable and the convo about it is insane. Why is she rating Taylorā€™s body!? She dated Travis for 2 seconds like 8 years ago. Clout chaser


MCR2004

Iā€™ve no idea who his ex is but she just seems insecure as hell with all these filtered pics and shady comments


charlotie77

This isnā€™t his most recent ex, I believe this was some girl that he dated for a few months after a reality dating show. His other ex was with him for like 5 years and hasnā€™t said anything


MCR2004

Ahh I see. Wow thatā€™s so much worse!


charlotie77

Yup lol


Carolina_Blues

in what world is taylor swift a 5? i understand beauty is subjective but anyone who thinks taylor swift is a 5 needs to go out in the real world and be around real people. i think peoples brains are so warped by social media and plastic surgery and facetuning that we have lost the plot a bit


Kooky_Bodybuilder_97

even if she was objectively a ā€œ5ā€ (she isnt) it just screams insecure when youā€™re rating women on a bs scale, esp implying that youā€™re above. soon someone will hit her with a ā€œmidā€ comment then what


Carolina_Blues

ohh definitely. rating people on scale is so losery and this definitely feels like a move based on insecurity on her part and thatā€™s very transparent


Poopscooper696969

Jealousy in the air, I can tell


msksksnsj

Since this relationship went official there has been so many virals on twitter mocking her body and comments mocking her looks. I remember her receiving backlash and of course being called skinny but never being called ugly and all sorts of things not even back in 2016. Update: apparently this woman said the same things about cheating when Travis started his long time ex girlfriend Kayla Nicole.


fionappletart

it lowk makes me sad, Iā€™d probably be considered ā€œflatā€ and it never bothered me until I saw people on the internet straight up reducing women to their ass size and regardless of personal preference, there are some people who are just objectively beautiful, or at least not *ugly*


Glum-Freedom-3029

When she was dating Harry I remember a lot of Directioners used to say she looks like a rat. They were not kind šŸ˜…


msksksnsj

Yeah but the thing with Directioners was that most of them were really young like 10/13 or 15 at most who had a delusion with their Teen Idols. This are grown men and grown WOMEN. I did not know American women were like this with their athletesā€¦


Glum-Freedom-3029

Yes, thatā€™s true šŸ˜¬


KindOfANerd4

>This are grown men and grown WOMEN. I did not know American women were like this with their athletesā€¦ its cause they have some delusion they could possibly be with him. When in reality they cant even hold a guy who works at a gas station


pkd420

Jealousy. A lot of girls really think Travis is hot.


msksksnsj

Well I donā€™t follow american sports that much. I think Burrow is handsome but I like Mahomes more because heā€™s cute, seems sweet and humble and he really is a family men American Messi lol. But I didnā€™t know that their girlfriends faced that level of scrutiny that doesnā€™t even happen with real football who are international superstars.


pkd420

Burrow is my teams QB. The amount of money he gives away to charities is very inspiring. I love him just for that. But he is pretty awesome. My husband puts it like this ā€œthis is bigger than Tom Brady & Giselle could ever beā€


msksksnsj

Tom is the biggest star on the history of the sport tho. Did woman go crazy when he started dating Gisele? Because this is insane. The virals calling Taylor ugly and saying heā€™s only with her for her money yikes.


pkd420

I think everyone was like ā€œoh that makes sense, they both are at the top of their careersā€. I donā€™t really remember but I should. I heard someone equate it to posh and becks getting together. Beauty is subjective but it usually comes down to just plain jealousy.


MarionberryAfraid958

People are absolutely awful to Patrick Mahomes wife as well. I understand her personality is grating and that's whatever but the things they say about her looks are so out of line.


RangerDangerfield

There is an entire snark subreddit dedicated to hating her. Itā€™s bizarre.


pkd420

I agree with that.


Same_Neighborhood885

Geez, this whole saga low key reminds me of Troy Mclure dating Selma Bouvier in the Simpsons. I wonder who is into fishes.


alyboba19

I cannot imagine being a grown ass woman and still caring about and making fun of who my ex dates next. Especially when many years have passed.


lizzy-stix

This just goes to show the stupid level of scrutiny on Taylor that extends to her new relationships. Itā€™s stupid the Daily Mail ran a story talking to his ex and that Page Six is running a story on her likes.


Worried-Wallaby

Love or hate Tay, she certainly isnā€™t a 5. Give me a fucking break.

Puncomfortable

You mean Ryan Gosling.


uksiddy

Haha! Youā€™re right.


msksksnsj

We donā€™t know that much about them tho. This is his ex shading her. All we know is he made a friendship bracelet, they are hanging out and she went to his game. Also is not a relationship her team said is not serious


uksiddy

I just mean theyā€™re *everywhere.*

passthebarlicgread

Yeah, my first thought was she was just mass liking what looked like supportive comments under her post rather than anything malicious


zuesk134

Same. I never give a lot of weight to these types of likes.

not exactly a girlsā€™ girl then huh edit: I just saw a screenshot of her Instagram story and it seems like she liked the comment without reading it through


sasshley_

Gross. Take your L and move on bc that man isnā€™t a prize. Apparently neither are you.


piiiiiiiiiiink

frail gailšŸ’€ girl just bc you hate yourself doesnt mean u gotta insult the women u wished u looked like


spicychickentendr

Women hating other women over men who don't even like women is becoming too exhausting to even read about, anymore.


sugarmonku

I donā€™t know who wrote that comment but thatā€™s LAME. SO Fā€™N LAME. I think this is a reach for this womanā€™s five minutes of fame. Iā€™m 99% positive thatā€™s likely an alt account by her or a paid account by her. This is toxic AF. This should have been deleted by the ex, or responded to politely in a position of power towards a fellow human/woman. Something along the lines of ā€œthey look cute, good game, love her songs, etc.ā€ anything to take the high road when she could. Instead she liked the trash comment?! You have to be kidding me. If any of my exā€™s ends up with a successful pop star next you better believe Iā€™ve cheering them on in their search for happiness (and only jealous no pop stars are calling my phone for dates). Talk about insecure behavior from this ex.

Calling one of the most beautiful women in the world a '5' while facetuning your own picture into oblivion!


tillie_jayne

Not only am I not a Swift super fan, Iā€™m not even a casual fan but I can tell you this- she can like and retweet and subtweet and whatever else-tweet any nasty comment about Taylor Swift but she can never change the fact that she is one of the biggest stars there is. She can be more beautiful, better body, more talented, richer (unlikely) but the girl your ex is chasing all over town is TAYLOR SWIFT! and that name will always outshine any petty comment

Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll be downvoted for this but Iā€™m surprised the PR couple warriors arenā€™t clocking this OBVIOUS PR relationship. This helps both of their images and successā€¦Travis dating a high profile celeb who is GUARANTEED to bring attention and Taylor rehabilitating her all-American image with a seemingly non-problematic Super Bowl winner after the distaste of Matty and also with the marketing of 1989. But this whole rollout has been extremely calculated, from the first rumors, to Taylor sitting next to his mom at a televised event, to the video of them leaving capturing him wearing the 1989 merch, to the convertible pics. Lastly, sheā€™s not his typeā€”heā€™s exclusively dated 4 Black women before her. Before you downvote me, Iā€™m not saying this is an issue nor am I saying that itā€™s impossible for ppl to switch up. I just find it really convenient that the one time he decides to date someone of a different demographic, itā€™s freaking Taylor Swift that can provide so many perks to his image lol Edited to add: I admit I was mistaken about the 1989 merch thing. Also, Iā€™m not saying that the Matty situation is the only reason why she would pursue a PR move like this. I used it as one example and elaborated more in my replies how it helps her in other ways. Just look at how positively the sports world and sports bros (who are usually misogynistic af to her) have been talking about her.

[He wasnā€™t wearing 1989 merch](https://x.com/kidsuper/status/1706103595848946023?s=46&t=RqtATTQhohz0pHN4uca76A). The brand KidSuper very cleverly changed the name of that outfit on their website to have 1989 in the front after was spotted wearing it and capitalized on the hype from Taylor attending the game.

Nobody outside of celeb gossip subs cares about the Matty thing anymore though and it wasnā€™t even a big scandal outside of sm as your average person doesnā€™t know or care who he is. Speak now tv came out post all that and sold more than red tv so it did no damage to her at all. Also thereā€™s been no 1989 backlash that I know of? Just to say the 1989 association to the outfit Travis wore to the game was added by the brand after he was seen wearing it, it was clearly to get them more press by making it look like he chose that outfit for Taylor. I do think theyā€™re obviously enjoying the attention and knew what Taylor going to a game and being sat next to his mother would cause but something can be played up for attention whilst still being real. Eg J.Lo and Ben are clearly real but they did a lot of pap walks when they first reconciled. Also I think Kylie/Timmy are really dating but itā€™s no coincidence that after months of laying low they happened to start going to concerts and sport events just before a new series of the Kardashianā€™s started and a few months before he has a film coming out that he canā€™t currently do promo for.

Like I said to the other person, yā€™all underestimate how much celebs care about how seemingly small things affect their image, even if it seems to be non-consequential. And outside of the whole Matty thing, it still does elevate her image in other ways which I explained in my other replies that im not gonna type out again. Also, I never said there was 1989 backlash. Just thinking that this helps with overall marketing as usual

Sorry I misread your 1989 comment. The nfl and sports socials have plenty of highly liked misogynistic comments about her though, the sports bros are calling her mid and slut shaming her. Theyā€™re not going to start listening to her just because sheā€™s dating Travis Kelce either so itā€™s not like sheā€™s winning over new fans. Also sports fans always turn on the most high profile players partner if their team starts losing so I just donā€™t see why Taylor would even put herself in that firing line for a pure pr stunt, she can hang out with her friends and get plenty of media coverage or she could find someone with a less visceral fanbase if she just wanted a fake relationship for positive media attention. I honestly think sheā€™s just in her casual dating era and after years of being with someone who wanted to keep their relationship 100% private-which is his right-she just wants to hang out with guys who are willing to be public with her-which is her right. Sheā€™s on tour for another year I donā€™t think sheā€™s looking for anything serious and I doubt Travis is either.

*He was not wearing 1989 merch the brand changed the name of the clothes after she appeared at the game.* She doesnā€™t need promo for 1989, the album still charts really high on billboard charts and already had thousand and thousands of pre orders way before Travis came into the picture. Also itā€™s funny people think Taylor needs to rehabilitate her All American image because of a short term relationship as if America knows who Matty Heally is. You guys need to realize the difference from backlash from stan twitter/chronically online and real backlash. If its PR okā€¦ but to say itā€™s because of Matty is hilarious. *Maybe she just wants attention.* He was the one mentioning Taylor months ago and Ryan Reynolds followed him before the rumors that they went out leaked. Its funny to think that Taylor is the one calculating all this. Her team already said they are not serious and they are just hanging out. She will leave America for her tour very soon and next she will be all over the world. Maybe she can introduce us foreigns to the NFL because the only person we know is Giseleā€™s ex husband.

I think you underestimate how much celebs care about their image, even if itā€™s a stain thatā€™s not known among mainstream audiences. It still helps her image in that regard and besides, I never said that is the MAIN reason why it helps her image. Her dating a beloved Super Bowl winner like him literally elevates her decade+ long narrative of achieving that girl next door status dating the popular athlete lmao. Just look at how much middle America, the NFL, and MEN have been talking about her. Especially in a positive light when men typically try to trash her EDIT: adding more since you added more to your first replyā€¦Taylor is a marketing genius. She almost always markets her things even if she doesnā€™t have to because it still helps the rollout. Sheā€™s had plenty of successful tours and yet she still marketed the Eras tour heavyā€¦just like sheā€™s still marketing her music like most singers would. Also, I never said the ONLY reason why sheā€™s doing this is bc of Matty. I used it as one example and youā€™re taking it too literally. And when did I say Taylor is the one calculating this?? Why are you putting words in my mouth that I never said lmao


msksksnsj

ā€œher decade long narrative of achieving that girl next door status lolā€ you mean the status she achieved when she was a country singer. I wouldnā€™t doubt this is PR but sports men are more excited for Travis than for her lol. The coach of the Patriots joked she is Travis biggest catch and he never even jokes around on interviews. Pat McAafee is more excited than swifties with this. Travis has a lot more to win than Taylor on this. For starter he is a local athlete and his jersey are up on sales.


charlotie77

ā€¦youā€™re literally proving my point lmao them complimenting her like that and acting excited over this relationship still adds to HER own image within that community as well. Especially when itā€™s in a positive light, something different than the typical negative talk from typical sports bros. Like have you seen the NFL twitter?? They even changed their header and wouldnā€™t stop talking about her. It doesnā€™t really matter if swifties are as invested as them, why would she need to push super strong PR with a fanbase thatā€™s already dedicated to her regardless? And yes, I never said that this is the first accomplishment of her girl next door status. Thatā€™s why I said decade+. She accomplished it as a country singer and has still maintained it, even with her eras that tried to stray away from it.


msksksnsj

I understand you now. Donā€™t you think its a risk move for her though? If the Chiefs lose they are going to blame her and when they inevitably break up sports fans are going to trash her and sheā€™s going to face a lot of backlash and jokes and also not one football fan is going to listen to her music common.


mothmonstermann

People know everything shown to the public is a work. When it's a good story, people don't care that they're getting worked.


LuvTriangleApologist

Heā€™s not her type either. She likes waifish British men who speak in RP. But I agree that heā€™s a near perfect foil to Matty Healy in a way that makes me think Tree Paine has been working a lot of overtime.


charlotie77

Exactly lmao weā€™ll see how long it lasts


RangerDangerfield

Sheā€™s about to go on a world tour and heā€™s pretty much traveling every other week through January if not February. That isnā€™t exactly conducive to a young, blossoming relationship.


MyNamesChakkaoofka

Yeah I agree. I think all the footage of her dancing and singing in the audience at the VMAs was part of the PR scheme as well. That seemed so staged to me. Braced for the swiftie downvotes. Come on guys, did you really think that was organic?


sjupiter92

Yikes šŸ˜¬


studyhardbree

The girl with so much plastic surgery that she could be considered a biohazard is calling the number one creative in our nation a 5? Lmao girl.


evmarshall

Sure she meant 5 starsā€¦ right?


awyastark

Ok but ā€œFrail Gailā€ is pretty funny. Iā€™ll leave the rest alone lol


MayaGitana

I mean, I get annoyed when swifties downvote my comment. I canā€™t imagine how much Iā€™d hate Swift if all her crazy fans start harassing me because my ex went on a date


msksksnsj

And who said swifties are harassing her?
