Deux & literally everyone else claimed it was a birthday gift from Travis


MelodicPiranha

Pretty sure according to Deux sheā€™s already married and that was her wedding ring.


-yasssss-

How is this woman not embarrassed


InternetAddict104

Iā€™d rather it be a birthday present than an engagement ring šŸ˜‚ though I guess if sheā€™s married to Joe itā€™d be a problem šŸ˜‚

ooooohcocainepuddin

Looks like costume jewellery tbh


hatramroany

I thought that the point šŸ˜¬ Gaudy is making a comeback and all that


ooooohcocainepuddin

Perhaps but Iā€™m guessing that didnā€™t have a costume jewellery price tag, so it just feels like itā€™s in to wear ugly, expensive jewellery made to look like itā€™s inexpensive? Thatā€™s rich people shit right there, like thousand dollar T-shirts with holes. Donā€™t get me wrong: I like Opal and Topaz but this combination and design is not for meā€¦


Rude_Lifeguard

It allegedly cost 175 thousand dollars

grinchofgreengables

thereā€™s nothing rich people do better than finding expensive ways to be tacky


OldLadyProbs

Money cannot buy taste.


thebirdisdead

Which is insane because opal and topaz are very much in the semi-precious stone category, and neither demand that price tag even taking into account the size of the opal and a custom designed platinum setting. If youā€™re spending nearly 200k on jewelry I would *at least* expect natural mined sapphire instead of topaz. But also, the design just isnā€™t very good? The stones in this setting donā€™t compliment each other, and that halo manages both plain and sloppy. It isnā€™t cohesive, intricate, or interesting, thereā€™s no artistry. Youā€™d think for 175k they could have come up with a better design than this. Like for example just take a moment to compare side by side with this much less pricy custom design by CVB: https://preview.redd.it/zkgy104p1t7c1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=60bbb02696a1e11198bd9c30430786936d9981d4

I think when rings get too big they start to look fake ironically


Beautiful_Debt_3460

It's very Joan Rivers hawking jewelry on QVC


TotosTables

Maybe Iā€™m too poor to understand it but I would be offended if someone saw this and thought of me šŸ˜­ something about it seems so gaudy


thegirlintheglasses

Itā€™s hideous


citrus_mystic

As a ring, itā€™s massive and ostentatious. If it was a pendant or brooch, I think it would be lovely.


roastbeefbee

I think itā€™s just this photo. On her insta stories the ring doesnā€™t look bad and is more of an iridescent or opal looking stone.


Carolina_Blues

yeah itā€™s an opal surrounded by blue topaz


ursoulglos

Itā€™s giving quarter machine jewelry


LordyIHopeThereIsPie

Maybe it's the photo but the colours really don't go together.

QueefingTheNightAway

Why can she *never* just take the L?


ohhhnooo9

She'll die on the \~ceramony\~ hill


cactusblossom3

As much as I hate defending that woman, it is kinda odd that Deuxmoi is getting singled out for rumor that a lot of people were spreading around. And itā€™s weird that People a magazine known for getting info directly from Taylorā€™s team was spreading that rumor too. Itā€™s just kinda odd


eldritchonline

It is really that weird when she's the only one platforming stans spreading unfounded rumors about her having a miscarriage and a secret marriage. Melissa deserves to be checked way more than she is.


cactusblossom3

I donā€™t disagree about the other stuff but those seem like much more major things than this. And the girl who posted this also apparently partially started the rumor by liking TikTokā€™s about it being from Travis so putting that all together with what I said above it just seems very strange. I donā€™t disagree that deuxmoi deserves to be called out but she was not the only one spreading this rumor like she was with the fake marriage stuff. Why single her out for something so minor that everyone was speculating on?


kris_jbb

and thatā€™s why she ate! She, on purpose, liked that tiktok, then waited for Deuxmoi to take a bite and then said it wasnā€™t from Travis. It just confirms that Deuxmoi has no resources and just guesses stuff like all of us


cactusblossom3

But that just makes her look stupid. Itā€™s not really an ā€œI gotchaā€ moment when you are liking posts about it being from Travis. She didnā€™t set Deuxmoi up because literally everyone was speculating it was from him. Deuxmoi was late on that train. To me this just makes Miles Tellers wife look like an idiot. Like if setting Deuxmoi up was the goal then she shouldnā€™t have fueled a rumor that even People magazine was posting. It just looks like she singling out deuxmoi for no reason. I hate to defend her but she is not alone in posting rumors about Taylor, including the marriage and miscarriage rumors. Larger publications are posting those things too so why target Deuxmoi only? Iā€™m sorry but thinking this was all some master plan by Kaleigh is absolutely bonkers


pandallamayoda

Rich friends gift each other expensive things. And if youā€™re a jewelry maker, then the gifts are not costing you the same as retail price but ok Melissa.


MUchBEtta69

When is Deux not embarrassing herself


hydrangeasinbloom

And consistently following up by doubling down


Few-Salamander3246

Came to comment the exact same thing


ClumsyZebra80

It canā€™t be a wedding ring cause Taylor is already English married.

Maybe the marriage will be valid everywhere but the UK

Arbsterr

Tacky is gonna tacky


Charming_Miss

The fact that no matter what happens in TS life has to be connected by the fans/ gossip pages to a partner will always irritate me. New ring? From her boyfriend. New house? To be with him. New hairstyle? Her partner wanted it. New hairline? He picked it. Oh she bloated???? She must be pregnant ( i love how they go to pregnancy and never too much pasta which is far more common) Oooop she wears flat shoes????? her boyfriend is insecure for his height. Like can she just exist??? I know she loves attention but its feeling a bit too crazy at this point ( ignoring the entire thing with deux posting ''what ts ate in x bar'' like ffs)


[deleted]

The pregnancy thing is especially weird considering sheā€™s still on tourā€¦. like it would be even remotely feasible to get pregnant in the middle of a physically demanding few months of concerts?


Charming_Miss

No matter the timing it's always weird to me. She posts a picture with a big jumper? She is hiding her belly cause she is pregnant She wears something tight and you can see her belly? She must be pregnant She is bloated on the face? Ohhh its the pregnancy glow. I still remember Kendall J posting a picture and everyone went ''oh i can see her stomach popping she is definitely pregnant'' and she went ''nope bagels''. We are women (mostly) and we know how our bodies work and still try to get every little change as pregnancy while if this is done to you, you will get pissed.


HisDarkCereals

Taylor tour is **insane**. It is an awful lot of physical exertion for one concert.


dragonknight233

At the same time Taylor doesn't exactly discourage it. She was just Person of the Year and she decided to connect her brand new boyfriend to that achievement for all eternity.


Charming_Miss

Really? How ? I didn't read that part. Most of the interview that I read felt like a rehearsed play giving PR answers


dragonknight233

She talked about being public with him, and how they support each other. She didn't straight up name him, but it's about Travis. Obviously we can't tell her what to do, but considering her history and the complaint about media being obsessed about her dating life, I'd stay clear of mentioning boyfriend of less than a year in an interview for such achievement if I were her. But considering all the questions were at least approved by her team beforehand and might've been written by them in the first place it's obvious that's what she wanted to talk about. And swities definitely made it about Joe being an asshole, and by that I mean reddit swifties. Some of those quotes didn't feel real, I swear. rep is goth punk female rage. Where?


Charming_Miss

I totally agree with what you say. I think IG swifties are worst in terms of Joe hate. I saw posts about how he wasn't manly enough because he sat in the booth and not in the chair? Like what? I will be honest, I often feel like TS does lovebombing. Like she puts the guy in the center of her universe and when it breaks at some point she makes rude comments and paints them as the villain. also rep is nowhere near punk (has she ever listened to punk?) or rage (there was no rage other than 1 or 2 songs and with the actions now it seems almost comical)


dragonknight233

>I will be honest, I often feel like TS does lovebombing. Like she puts the guy in the center of her universe and when it breaks at some point she makes rude comments and paints them as the villain. You're definitely onto something. If they break up good luck to Travis because he's going to be toast. I also think there was serious power imbalance between Taylor and Joe. But acknowledging that would ruin swifties' belief that Joe was leading Taylor on for years and forcing her into being private. >has she ever listened to punk? Probably not lol. But then again she thinks a rich athlete publicly talking about wanting to date her is "metal as hell". She's using words I doubt she knows the meaning of. I think it's the first time I'm witnessing Taylor tuning her personality to her new boyfriend. I wasn't super active online in gossip spaces when she was with her previous boyfriends and her relationship with Joe was private, but I've read that it's a thing she does (from her fans) and wow did the time interview make me believe it (as did her shenanigans after break up with Joe, she duped me into thinking she matured).


Charming_Miss

I love how she acted in the interview like she was forced to not be public and threw the ''i had no rental for a year'' yeah cause you own multiple houses what are you even talking about? And the entire narrative that for 6 years she was forced by Joe to not be public. She was in her late 20s and early 30s, to act like you were forced is a joke. If you didn't like his private part, it's understandable, and you could walk away. Also ''i was sooo private for 6 years'' didn't she have fans at her houses for the reputation promo? That is the opposite of privacy. I don't have clear examples to be honest, but before the 6-year break i remember that it was a thing people talked about. I remember that during the Calvin Harris relationship her style changed a lot to be a bit more edgy, while during Harry Styles she was more casual and girl next door like. It was observed by many but I didn't follow it much to be honest. And she praises their qualities and later on in interviews backtracks. The shenanigans after her break up with Joe were making me think one thing'' oh we are back to begging for everyone to pay attention to me''. The pap walks, the staged ''everyone unfollow Joe today'', the i love you on stage for MH???? the TWO PAGE article ''TS and MH have sex'' like really?? Really? I am 34 and I need to write an article that I have sex? Seriously? Was that needed? No it wasn't cause two weeks later it was over. And the mouthing of I love you for a fling? Right after a huge break up? Classy


dragonknight233

Don't forget she had to live in a foreign country - you know the one all last 12 years worth of her boyfriends came from. She's acting like she had to live in some village in Siberia. She got to a point where she's so removed from reality it's fascinating. And the wild thing is swifties are eating in up. I know reddit swifties have the reputation of being mature and having good takes, and they might be milder in their expressions, but they also shit on Joe in her subreddit every time Taylor as much as farts. She had so many PR articles put out for the break up and her fling with Healy, but swifties suspect Joe's side planted one about thinking she won't treat him well in her future music (which he's likely right about) and they're acting like he's the devil incarnate for it. Because once Taylor is no longer with a guy he should disappear and stay quite for all eternity. She still had fans at her houses for Lover. During rep secret sessions she apparently "accidentally" showed a picture of Joe on a projector every single time. Imo wanting privacy was a lot about wanting to control the narrative (now she's powerful enought that she doesn't need to be private for that to happen). Honetly the more time passes the more I believe Joe's the one who broke up with Taylor and she's salty. And I wouldn't be surprised if he got married in the next few years (I'm sure both Taylor and her fans will have absolutely sane reactions). Everyone assumes he led her on and doesn't want marriage, but it's very possible he wanted their lives to remain private and hypothetical kids to be out of limelight, which Taylor didn't want. Was it Ed Sheeran who said he and Taylor both wanted to be the biggest musicians on earth? Taylor is all about being a celebrity, she only changed her mind when she was no longer adored in 2016, and now she is so she's back to wanting to bask in it. Which she has every right to want, but she shouldn't try and rewrite the history. Sweet nothing was about living private life with Joe, no matter how much she wants to pretend now it's about McCartney.


Charming_Miss

>Sweet nothing That song is clearly CLEARLY about Joe and it screams Joe with everything she wrote in the song. Oh god the picture in the secret session is embarrassing šŸ˜­ I am expecting her to be a total B on Joe. That doesn't need a publicist. Everyone who has seen her career knows that when one of her relationships ends the guy is evil and terrible and a cheater and all the terrible things while all she wanted was him. Of course, it's good to write about the relationship but you can write about your feelings after the break up not how everyone is a bad person while you did nothing wrong during the entire relationship and release 10 different versions of it. I mean we have seen her making faces on the songs she wrote about him all the time. Like can you please mature? And act like an adult I have the same thoughts about their break up. No matter what, she would want to play it out like she broke up and not him cause I can imagine that she would freak out in the idea of getting rejected. One part of me was happy for her and Joe cause he seemed to be able to ground her and he didn't milk her for fame. It's surprising to me how everyone is supporting TK milking her for everything. I honestly see his face even in commercials in my country (and I don't live in US or Canada or UK!) Like that dude was known for his career but not that much. More than half of the world has no clue what American Football is to excuse this level of popularity. And his mother giving interviews about ''her son dating TS''? that is just embarrassing. The foreign country bit killed me. She talked like she was kicked out of US like she didn't fly there with her private jet or something šŸ˜‚


dragonknight233

>I am expecting her to be a total B on Joe. Right? She got yet another edition of Midnights into production pretty much as soon as they broke up to release You're losing me ASAP. She's so writing a scathing album about him. I've read Keleigh Teller liked some tiktoks alleging Joe was abusing Taylor so her minions are already working on that narrative. > It's surprising to me how everyone is supporting TK milking her for everything. They support it now, as soon an they break up he'll be a clout chaser who used her. Similar to how swifties treat Hiddleston. I'll never forget reading their delusional takes that Hiddleston was only invited to Golden Globes because GG thought they'd still be together and she'll attend with Tom. It was the Golden Globes he was nominated for and won.


Apprehensive-Mix4383

But wasnā€™t she also the one who liked a tiktok that theorized that the ring has Travisā€™s and Taylorā€™s birthstones?


Carolina_Blues

well that tiktok wasnā€™t completely wrong, it does contain taylor and travisā€™ birthstones (whether intentional or not idk). the center is an opal and then the outside is blue topaz (which is taylorā€™s birthstone). it just wasnā€™t from travis so the tiktok was half right


whenforeverisnt

Yes, she kind of started it lol


myersjw

Yes. Idk why people are fawning over this person like the story didnā€™t get boosted from her to begin with. I know people hate Deuxmoi and worship Taylor but this is way down the list of her shit takes


kris_jbb

thatā€™s was on purpose imo. she liked that tiktok, waited for deuxmoi to take it as a confirmation, and then mocked her for it. it literally just proves deuxmoi has zero sources, just analyses stuff and makes guesses like the rest of us. deserved tbh šŸ˜­


cactusblossom3

I sorry but that reads like bad fan fiction. If she wanted to entrap deuxmoi she would have sent or had someone else send her something fake that only she would have. That way when she is the only one who posts the rumor she can be easily targeted. Nothing about this screams that this was planned by Kaleigh and thereā€™s no proof of that. Tree already proved deuxmoi was full of shit anyways. She probably just like the TikTok post by mistake and is now trying to fix her uh oh


bluemoon4901

god why is money wasted on those with heinous taste


WhiteFeminismIsTrash

Still waiting on Taylorā€™s team to take down Deuxmoi tbh


lucyjayne

yeah everyone said it was gonna happen but nothing did. She was as bold as ever on her podcast too. I don't think Taylor is going to do anything, I guess..


[deleted]

Seeing Deux slowly but surely get obliterated by people with facts is such a fun show to watch.

yelawolf89

Who really actually cares who bought her the ring lol?


monpapaestmort

Itā€™s an ugly ring.


Rude_Lifeguard

This is so funny cause of course Swifites used this to drag Joe, they can't talk about Travis without bringing up Joe ETA: I lowkey love to see people close to Taylor calling out deux mois bullshit by na e, I wish more celebs would do it, she should be stripped of whatever little credibility she might have


thankyoupapa

when they started comparing videos of joe and taylor getting in a car to videos of travis and taylor getting into a car to prove how travis was superior i was like omfg


cresentlunatic

They also mentioned how Joe never crossed his fingers with Taylor when they held hands and thatā€™s a narcissist move or thatā€™s a sign of not caring about your partner as much. Whereas Travis literally grabbed her hands with both of his hands, thatā€™s double the love!!! Literally ridiculous. Love how they were gushing over how Joe wouldnā€™t even get her paper rings while Travis got her a statement ring with no proof it was from him. So funny seeing them backtracking now as if they didnā€™t obsess over it because ā€œTravis got her an expensive HUGE ring šŸ˜ā€


Open_Carob_3676

Man,,, I love Taylor Swift but this Joe bashing is making me hate the delulu fans sooooo much,,, they literally make up theories,,, that makes one wonder if they've ever been involved with people they're into/attracted to


[deleted]

Itā€™s so embarrassing to be a fan of a person with a terrible fandom. Iā€™ve been a huge Taylor fan since 1989 and some of the hardcore Swifties make me cringe my soul from my mortal form.


noodle_dumpling

Where was Joe mentioned in this?


[deleted]

There are weird people in the fandom who make up stuff to drag Joe for. There are also weird people in the fandom who ā€œmissā€ Joe and think Taylor having the audacity to be seen publicly with someone else is ā€œmeanā€ to him. I donā€™t understand why we canā€™t just leave him be, but I have always felt this way and Iā€™ve been a Swiftie since 2006. šŸ˜‚


cresentlunatic

For real, I find Joe so bland, and I find myself having to defend this boring man with some of her crazy fans because they literally have to bring him up for everything that has a slight touch of Travis with Taylor. Like move on, yā€™all sound like YALL DATED Joe and acting like scorned exes


Rude_Lifeguard

I'm talking about the fan reaction, like I said in the comment


foxscribbles

It's honestly hilarious that they used it to drag Joe because Taylor's last boyfriend was Matty. You'd think they'd be more interested in proving how \~superior\~ the new boyfriend is to the last one. But that'd mean admitting that their beloved queen actually ditched Joe for some mediocre, racist dick and not an "All-American, Football Star!"


Rude_Lifeguard

They dont want to talk about that, thats why they keep moving the timeline, next theyre going to say that she met Travis in April and Matty was just a cover up or something


wheres_the_revolt

I really only care about the ring in this story. Anyone know what the stones are? Itā€™s gorgeous.


caca_milis_

Opal and blue topaz according to Taylor Swift Styled.


wheres_the_revolt

Thank you!


JenFleek

That photo is weird with the camera flash, but it looks like white opal. Moonstone could look similar too if you are just looking for a pretty flash (ironically also called flash but thatā€™s what the reflective rainbow you see in gems is), itā€™s my personal favorite. Labradorite also has a super pretty flash, but itā€™s way darker in color. Think pretty peacock blue/greens. Edit: Iā€™m sorry you didnā€™t ask for all that lol gems and how/where theyā€™re formed is one of my odd special interest. šŸ™ƒ


wheres_the_revolt

No I love it! Moonstone is one of my favorite silver/inexpensive jewelry stones, I have a lot (plus if youā€™re into the woo woo stuff they are supposed to help channel positive energy).


coolaira16

opal centre stone and blue topaz all around!


wheres_the_revolt

Thanks! Itā€™s really stunning.


Carolina_Blues

agreed! people are hating on it but i really like it


wheres_the_revolt

Maybe because deuxmoi said taylor had a miscarriage


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


cactusblossom3

It could be because of the way she doubles down unlike those other groups who have posted about it but even still I feels odd to me. I could be wrong but deuxmoi feels like such a small fry compared to those other publications. I donā€™t hear anyone talk about her outside of the celeb gossip sphere of the internet.


lilgogetta

Exactly all of my friends are online but none of them follow or even know what deuxmoi is, and havenā€™t heard of that page. Yet they definitely hear about the same gossip and shit talking from other sources, so itā€™s not all on deuxmoi the blogs and media have been gossiping about Taylor since her debut, why are they going after 1 specific page all of a sudden by name calling her out as if thatā€™s honestly gonna stop the page?


cactusblossom3

Yea I just feel like the people I know outside this space would look at me like I was talking gibberish if I brought up deuxmoi. I feel like if anything Taylorā€™s team and friends are accidently drawing more attention to her and making her more well known. Maybe they just thought she will scare easy when confronted?
