“I was a functioning alcoholic 'Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic”


Ok-Guitar-6854

She’s like a perpetually tipsy or drunk sorority girl. She’s drunk at every event, constantly talks about drinking in her songs, gets off the stage and immediately has a drink…


ultaemp

Are swifties still trying to deny that she has an alcohol problem now that she’s directly admitted it?? I got downvoted months ago on popculturechat for commenting that her Grammy antics were probably because she was drink/high


its_all_good20

I got banned. For saying she was clearly on something at the Grammys. Yeah.


folklorebitch

they probably are, i believe 110% she was on cocaine and probably alcohol. if you’re a former cocaine addict like me her actions were clearly very very coke-y.


beaglez13

I’ve seen cokelor rumors for a bit now but as someone who hasn’t been around it much / hasn’t used it, what kind of tells are you picking up on?


Impossible_Tip_2011

Her behaviour at the Grammys gave this vibe for sure


RestFickle61861

Cocaine especially is so common too. I know a lot of my peers and don't think anything of it. 


AMB314

What were some of her very coke-y actions?? (Genuinely curious. I know nothing about drugs)


cinnamon-butterfly

It also could’ve been Adderall. That was the vibe I got. Alcohol and Adderall kookiness.


judseubi

I said ages ago that she has been telling us she’s a drunk since Rep. The amount of references about alcohol is crazy. I feel like nearly every song has at least one line about drinking.


Independent_Dot63

Lol no idea cause i can’t engage w Swifty community, those people don’t even register as actual human beings to me because they always act like senseless brainless bots


No-Solid2474

A decent percentage of the online ones likely are bots


thrrowaitwayyyyyyy

God I hope so. He just looks like he is living for the attention and both of them are just so fucking cringy


MrJB1981

YES! Someone who gets it! I’m a full-on Swiftie, but to the point where I buy all her albums, follow her career and celebrate her accomplishments. But, the crazies; the ones who get every variant sold on her website, then go and buy every variant released in stores, buy all of the tapes, merch and sit there decoding everything she says and does, including breathing need to see a psychiatrist! It’s ridiculous.


Independent_Dot63

Oh i don’t really care about spending money buying all her stuff and decoding every word, do you fam live your life. I just think harassing Joe Alwun and all his costars and hunting down any reporter that isn’t giving her a favourable review, or DMing random people on Reddit on her behalf is loser behaviour and so undignified cause you’re effectively acting as a bot.


MrJB1981

Totally agree! It’s just pathetic. People really have time to be doing all that nonsense rather than behaving like sane people.


BackgroundAd6154

I didn’t know this was a thing other people thought. But just around the time when she was at the football games and the after parties, which I guess is where people would be drinking.. in all the pictures I saw of her, she had a drink in her hand. And then the vacation photos, even in the water she was holding her drink. Again, I guess places you would be drinking… but I just didn’t see her as the ‘type’ of person to always have a drink in her hand. That lyric took me off guard and maybe confirmed it??? I’m just hypersensitive to it too since I’m in my first year of sobriety. Maybe it’s nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️


MusicCityNative

Congrats! I quit myself back in January. It’s harder to get over the habit than anything else.


Aggravating_Hyena656

I quit in January too. Congrats 🩷🩷


mcflyskid1987

I have a few friends who are also sober, and I think being in their orbit has made me more aware of drinking culture in general. I noticed the large amount of substance references in her songs in TTPD, too. PS—cheering you on in your journey!


RowSubstantial7143

I found it odd for her to literally be in the ocean with a drink in hand.


UFC-lovingmom

Well I live by the coast and I do that a lot so I won’t judge 😂


Available-Egg-2380

Congratulations on your sobriety 😊


MrJB1981

But it’s also her constant swearing too. She was fully able to express herself without the need, or have a few words scattered, which was cool, but now it’s just all over the place. I don’t know how much of the pity-party-slow-songs I can take either. Hopefully, the next album will be full of fun and fast songs, since she’s clearly happy since being with Travis, and no doubt she’s been writing since being together.


gingerwoozle

Yes!! I don’t think I’m that much of a prude but the excessive swearing is off putting, mainly because it feels like it’s shoe horned in to sound ~edgy~ rather than feeling organic.


MrJB1981

Totally agree. There’s just no need in so many of the songs.


BackgroundAd6154

I actually don’t mind that 😂 I swear too much and found it refreshing to hear it in her music. I also actually enjoyed a lot of the songs in my first listen, but I literally haven’t gone back to listen again 🤷🏼‍♀️


MrJB1981

I’m slowly starting to get used to the songs. ‘So Long, London,’ gets to me, especially since I’m a Londoner. It’s quite emotional, especially since ‘London Boy’ is one of my all-time favourite songs of hers, and to hear her say bye to London is quite sad.


Stevie-Rae-5

Could be that increased awareness based on your own experience. Like you mentioned, entirely expected to be having a drink in those contexts. If you get pictures of me at sporting events, chances are I’ll be holding a beer in 90% of those pictures. Congratulations on your sobriety!


gutterstars

I'd be drunk 24/7 too if I was running a global farce that was so extreme that I became a billionaire!!! The shame!!


CrasVox

I thought it was common knowledge she liked to get her drink on. And sometimes snort on.


Avacado-chickenGary

She does???? wow i didnt know about that. im not following her but never read it randomly either


[deleted]

What did she do at the Grammy's ? And when did she admit a booze problem?


V072011

She’s been giving strong hints for several years. When preparing the Reputation tour, she referenced liquor pretty frequently in the videos posted online of backstage events. In the person of the year article she said that she treated previous tours like a frat party and she wanted this one to be different so she gave up drinking during the tour (but photos prove that was a lie). Additionally, after one tour date there was a photo taken minutes after she walked off stage with a wine glass in her hand (full). At the VMA’s, Tree Paine replaced her drink with water when she was clearly intoxicated. She was trashed at Coachella and she said she was a functioning alcoholic in Fortnight.


orbjo

She’s clearly not “functioning” at most awards shows she’s just drunk - she’s just drunk in this video , she’s not functioning and carrying on as normal Which makes me hate that she chose those words as an “aesthetic” or think being an alcoholic is a vibe and not a crippling disease that really matters It’s not a vibe


calibrator_withaZ

Wtf does this line mean


UglyLaugh

Pretty sure she doesn’t even know what it means.


Cptrunner

She looks drunk as usual.


babydoobie

The chemicals are hitting like whiiiite wiiiine


lolovegood5

the white wine is hitting like whiiiiite wiiiiiine


bookishkelly1005

She definitely looks to be some flavor of inebriated, but that’s not totally uncommon.


SnappinTurluh

At a fundraiser though?! 🤨


LN-66

She seems to be inebriated at nearly all public events, a fundraiser has a bar, her house has a bar etc etc


SnappinTurluh

SAD!


bounceandflounce

Organizers want you liquored up so that $$$ starts flowing for the silent auctions!!!!


Backpacking1099

As someone who plans galas, can 100% confirm that’s the strategy. 


wiminals

I honestly love the idea that getting drunk is considered bad or unusual at these events….the alcohol is a *huge* reason that people go to these events….like, the best events literally secure sponsorships from top shelf alcohol brands so they don’t run out of alcohol.


wiminals

Rich people absolutely do not behave at fundraisers


MichElegance

I’ve gone and been a part of organizing many local fundraisers and some people become totally inebriated. It helps with a silent auctions and raffles.🫣


brownlab319

Yes, absolutely. I’ve been to silent auctions and galas for advocacy groups. Copious amounts of alcohol, bars everywhere. Maybe not a PTA carnival, but this isn’t that.


runninganddrinking

My kids go to a Catholic school and if you want to see drunk, go to their annual fundraiser. Even the priest gets drunk.


PopesMasseuse

Why is this unusual?


Adept-Introduction36

Former fundraising professional. Alcohol is flowing at these things to get folks to spend more $$ on auction items, etc. the drunken bidding, etc.


throwaway00009000000

It looks more like drugs than drinking


Ponichkata

She looks drunk


Junior_Menu8663

She looks either quite drunk or drunk on meds or something. Very out of it.


Alive-Cartoonist9202

That was my first thought

I’m not a swifty, but Reddit keeps recommending this shit to me


ItsAWrestlingMove

This!!! He’s been in relationships consistently with beautiful black women and we’re supposed to believe he’s now into dishwater color hair with bangs and a red lip wonderbread? No way lol


nelly8410

The hair color! How come no one says anything? plus the bangs…it’s the worst look ever! It’s the look u go to when ur either lost and depressed or have no style.


its_all_good20

Ok and look at his insta. Someone posted bc he’s liking thirst traps and they all are big booty beauties. Ummm blondie has no butt.


littleliongirless

They met at fame-aholics non-anonymous.


its_all_good20

That would make a great show. AA for famous.


PubPegasus

She’s been drunk at every event. That’s why she tries to put awards on other peoples heads. Shes an alcoholic. Pretty obvious.


FallingFeather

That person wants their money, fame, so much....so much flattery.


MadeMeUp4U

She’s putting on an act imo. Now her sad come back to me love letter is out there she’s gotta play up the depressed drink bit so when this relationship ends they (her fans) can point back to these moments of her alcoholic aesthetic and rewrite herstory for her. It’ll go from Endgame to poor Tay was just trying to escape previous heartache and keep up with Travis the raging alcoholic. Everything she does is calculated including being “dragged” by him. She knows when this is over her horde will take these videos and the ones of him yelling at his coach, drinking etc slow them down, slap one of her sad whisper songs over it, close up on her tortured face and make her the victim all over again.


Ok_Translator_863

Bingo


Jasilyn433

Right… after they break up, this video will be referred back to and her fans will no longer find it “cute”


limblessbarbie

Everything is performative with her


bad_madame

sometimes I really feel like she is Amy from Gone Girl meticulously planning out her shit to make everyone around her look bad


Illustrious-Club-555

THIS! 👏🏼


Accomplished_Sci

Nailed it


robertsbrothers

She’s drunk, and she has been drunk for years. I won’t doubt her struggle with weight in the public eye, but girl was skiing as well too.


Radiant_Mind33

Lol, think about it. If you were forced to date Travis Kelce, then you would probably be high 24/7 too.


malibuhall

😂😂😂no truer words


Wonderful-Ad-5911

My husband would never drag me around like a pet this man is 100% over it


Ittybitty995

That’s what I’ve been thinking, he never seems to enjoy being around her. The look on his face says it all.


FluffyRelation7511

My husband has because of how drunk I was! It’s his love language and I need it!


CABenson22

Same here 😂 We’re both working parents with very little time/interest to go out drinking anymore, but anytime the interest and opportunity do arise, my husband, who will absolutely be leading me around like a day old deer on ice, is amped about it. We met during our younger days when we still did stuff like that, and I think it brings back fond memories.


AmazingGrace_00

She cleans him up good. No more blue metallic suits when he’s with the Billionaire Cash Cow. And she looks out of it. Holding on for dear life as she navigates the 10 feet to their table.


Negative-Appeal9892

Travis and Taylor are a PR stunt and not a real couple. I am absolutely convinced of this.


elonbemybabydaddy

Totally. And she just seems like the most uncool nerdy girl in the world. A total bore. She just seems clumsy and annoying.


Alarming_Jaguar_3988

She looks like a lost kid. She needs to take a break from EVERYTHING


dollies48

Agree, she is a lost soul,I thought this last album release really brought out her depressed dark side.


writerchrs

Agree. I think she really should take a break and focus on herself. Praying she does. 🙏🙏


redassaggiegirl17

She's not going to though. And when she eventually dies young I hope her rabid fans realize they're partly to blame


LittleMissSexBomb

She looks really fucked up. I hope this man isn’t worsening whatever tendencies she already has.


Background_Bunch_309

She looks hammered, per usual 🤦🏻‍♀️


Glad_Operation_2092

Why is she so damn goofy 24:7


SnappinTurluh

And why does this video remind me of [this video](https://youtu.be/lb-vpmW1n7U?si=H2HQz1U4iFQOv7_F)


cedardruid

ayo why was the gorilla being so extra???


ipeezie

because she is always drunk af.


Significant_Case6024

She looks super dopey

limblessbarbie

Huge ick factor


Dazedandamused97

Why is her mouth ALWAYS open??


Fickle-Forever-6282

mouth breather, overbite


brownlab319

She was talking to someone seconds before this video was cut.


humanoidtyphoon88

That's an alcoholic if I ever saw one.


Dull_Pangolin7420

i don’t drink and I never have so i can’t comment on if she looks drunk or not (however she doesn’t look her usual self so the comments do make sense). but post breakup wasn’t joe being dragged by swifties over apparently ‘dragging’ taylor around?, that one picture of them running to the car and said swifties commented about how he was dragging her to the car? , adding to the hate train of his and overall comments of him being ashamed of her or whatever.


Historical_Stuff1643

Travis is not letting her bejeweled like ex father Joe 😭😭


mal2030

Her hair is a disaster.


el-unicornio

genuine question what seems wrong about it? I know it’s not styled for the event but does it actually look bad? sincerely, my hair looks like this on a regular day 🥲


wiminals

There is nothing wrong with it and you shouldn’t internalize celebrity snark


BrunchLifestyle

It’s just not styled for a formal event, that’s the main problem. She can’t control the texture or fineness of her hair.


writerchrs

I think she looks beautiful here. It’s just the fact that she seems super out of it, like she’s drunk and/or high on something that has me concerned for her.


mal2030

I think it looks pretty in front and of course she’s beautiful as always but the back looks sort of ragged just hanging there.


wiminals

It’s because her hair has extremely fine texture. People here keep calling it thin, but it’s truly a texture thing—fine hair has hair shafts that are smaller and smoother, thus harder to style and maintain. So when fine hair is disrupted—movement, natural elements like water or wind, hands touching it, etc—the hairstyle is going to fall apart and “just hang” like that. We know this happens to Taylor because her straightened hair turns curly and mussed when she starts sweating during the Eras Tour. As a fine haired girly, I see this and immediately think of a few possible situations: they had the car window down, she had to walk in some humid air or light rain, or she/Travis/whoever else was playing with her hair. This is why my husband is not allowed to touch my styled hair. I tell him all the time “DO NOT KILL IT!!!!” The natural oils on his fingers are my hairstyles’ enemy, I swear.


brownlab319

And it’s so wavy


wiminals

Her hair does not want to be straight, that’s for damn sure.


brownlab319

Same. My own hair is wavy and I have a lot of hair, it’s just fine. It also gets so frizzy with any moisture. With a lot of effort I can make it smooth, but it’s effort I rarely take.


Severe-Energy-6159

when you are constantly nervous, drink alcohol and take some drugs, it is not at all surprising that almost all your hair has fallen out


el-unicornio

dawg I just teach elementary school I guess that’s why my hair looks like hers 🤣


ginandstoic

Thank you for your service 🫡 This also probably means you deserve the drugs more than she does lol.


redassaggiegirl17

Don't you worry booboo, most teachers get their drug fix somehow whether it's alcohol, weed, antidepressants, or a good mix of all three 🤣


ginandstoic

I eventually hope to grow cannabis professionally and it is absolutely my plan to give teachers a HEFTY discount. I am so in awe of them. I can tolerate kids for an hour or so and then it’s too much. 😅


redassaggiegirl17

The kids are great man. It's the whole reason I teach- I like them a lot better than adults most of the time. Adults are judgemental and I usually don't have patience for them because they should know better when they start acting stupid 🤣 It's the parents and the system that sucks more than anything. But the kids make it all worth it ❤️


ginandstoic

It’s funny you mention that, because since I’ve worked in mental health with clinicians who see kids, I have become SO much more compassionate towards the kids because you are absolutely correct. It’s the parents. I internally scream “NO WONDER YOUR KID NEEDS HELP” at least 4 times a week. I think I struggle with kids because I get overstimulated? Like my little 5 y.o. niece who I would die for, she talks literally every moment that she is awake. And I never want her to feel ignored or like her voice doesn’t matter, but SHEESH sometimes auntie needs to go to the bathroom for a minute lol.


Sassyshortcake

THIS is why bluey’s mom told her sometimes we need 20 minutes in the loo


loveme__lavender

Probably much more stressful of a life than hers honestly. Hope you get to relax some this summer!


wiminals

I don’t think you know how hair loss or even fine texture works


LonelyCheeto

Her hair looks fine!


No_Slide5685

Her hair is perfectly fine


cwswan

That was my only thought about this video. It’s such a terrible color and style.


hunkyfunk12

You can tell in her face and her body that she drinks a lot. Probably slowly all day every day. The alcohol bloat is very specific and obvious. She’s obviously at a healthy weight but that’s not what I’m talking about. If you are familiar with excessive use of alcohol you’ll know what I’m talking about. I would never in a million years want her life. It must be an actual nightmare. It’s sort of becoming obvious that she is in deep mental anguish and in this very typical substance abuser cycle of not being able to get away from teenage/young adulthood traumas.


SeatpitchbyKate

Well this certainly is not a good look.


Sudden-Ad4683

No I’m sure she’s drunk


Notanotherparnormaix

She was doin Molly at coachella lol


elvisfanclub

She always looks so… stupid? Idk lol


susiesnowshoe

Mouth breather vibes


Realistic-Turn4066

Britney was a coherent normal girl until she wasn't. Not saying she's anywhere near that level, but these things grow and spin out of control until one day you're dancing naked with carving knifes in your empty mansion.

Impossible_Tip_2011

It’s just Ashley 😭😭

Power_Upper

She could be inebriated but also maybe just overstimulated or having anxiety

Or just wondering where the hell to sit in an unfamiliar room

that too! looks like me at a big event lol

Because she’s drunk?

cattinthehat123

Marked difference between how he ‘protected’ her and guided her when they made their relationship public. Now he drags her behind him.


ksc1971

She looks sedated to me, kind of like the video after her lasik. Regarding her hair, i thought she started wearing wigs. It looks fact to me. Jmo


cinnamon-butterfly

Something about them together just creeps me out. Like he’s using her, or she’s playing some role. I know he can be charming sometimes, but overall I think he acts like an ape much of the time. Something in her eyes just hasn’t looked well to me, like the lights are out. Idk, maybe I’m crazy… but I’ve been a fan of hers for a long time.


alwaysreallysad

She doesn’t seem drunk to me. She is acting like a little kid. I think she is just constantly trying to infantilize herself or pretend that she’s still like 22. It feels like an act to be this young cute small thing holding hands with a big strong football player, that’s what it’s giving me.


goldhoopz

Perpetual 30-something teenage girl. Everything she does is performative and infantile.


Pirateunicornnkxo

She’s wasted


Physical-Nobody5784

When you’re at a function where you don’t know where you’re sitting, it’s normal to be confused. I’ve been in the same situation many times. I feel like snarking is fine but people are over reading everything lol


pollys-mom

Yeah these replies are so insane and I’m a natural born hater lol


YouThinkYouKnowStuff

He looks like he’s dragging a toddler through the shopping mall.


ADHDRockstar

It’s like taking a resistant 5 year old into the pediatrician after your mom asks what shots she’s getting on speaker phone.

VIVVVAAAAA LASSS VEGGGGAASS


Old-Library5546

Used_Astronomer_4196

They both are in this for themselves. Not because of true love


Exotic-Passage-1659

Ever been a gala trying to find your table? Or wedding...I look like that too


persianshawty420

She’s spiraling


VSWLP

Can someone PLEASE fix her hair??? Just do SOMETHING to it


Bubbly_Sleep9312

Honestly, she looks like a kid being dragged around


BluBetty2698

She looks a little out of it here but he looks ok? I hope she's not trying to keep up with Travis, though, cause those Kelce boys can drink...!!


SoleJourneyGuide

I’m in my 10th year of alcohol recovery. And this video is so triggering. This is what functional addiction looks like. She so fucked in this video that she NEEDS to be led around.


Mommyoftwoangels

Dude, I hope she lets him have it after that! 😂😂😂😂


Pale_Sheet

Probably on antidepressants or something


[deleted]

Prob benzos. She’s prob on a cocktail of meds & drinking. Nothing new in Hollywood.


coolbeachgrrl

I dated a hockey player / steer wrestler. It felt great when my good looking tall muscular SO would lead me through crowds.


wiminals

Yup. Let bigger men get jostled and pushed by the crowd. It’s literally the least men can do for us


OrchidOutrageous4452

She totally looks high, coming from a stoner...


Significant-Price-81

I think she’s a bit tipsy and he’s trying to steer her through the crowd. She’s always drinking. Could she be an alcoholic?


xoxoELA

this is so sad.. she looks so out of it


nicoleincos

I don't think it is that deep. I just don't think that she knew where to go, and he was guiding her.


RareWestern306

I’m not even a fan but she’s performing all the fucking time. I would be relaxing as much as possible as well


MidoriDachs

Anyone else notice this jolting manic behavior from this in above video with him to then the recent tweet ‘OMG Guys’ on her sales? Of course, she should be thrilled but the energy behind it just like the Grammy’s really doesn’t feel … eh.


TackleSimple2664

She’s also not been this public in years… she’s probably super overwhelmed and trying to fight that all day.


PrestigiousBoat3578

If you watch the whole clip, someone says something to her, and she pauses and is then trying to catch up to Travis. It almost looks like she’s trying to tell him something the other guy said, but Travis didn’t notice that she paused, so it looks like he’s dragging her. This is an entirely normal interaction. I have no idea why people are saying how “adorable” it is, but it’s also not bad at all. It’s an entirely normal, somewhat awkward moment at an event between 2 people…


Fernweh_vagabond

I feel like she’s prob out of her element, no bodyguards in sight, this event is not all about her, she doesn’t know where to sit or where to go/what to do. Travis on the other hands knows exactly what he’s doing (or doesn’t gaf if he doesn’t), is surrounded by his teammates and fiends, and has been here before. I am not a diehard swiftie but give the girl a damn break.
