Travis and Taylor

And please, you don’t get over such a “legendary”’ (in her own words) love in a couple of months, which is the time it took her to get with Travis.


So the songs that we all thought were about Joe were really about Matty?

But she just released an album denouncing how her fame has infiltrated all facets of her life, that if you want to see mean, great you created it when you came after me; why can't it once be me; where's my soulmate, smallest man who ever lived couldn't handle me, etc. etc etc. Say what you will about her, her level of fame is next level and she's been in relationships where she's been hurt because she felt like she wasn't worth it in the end; where they let the court of public opinion dictate their actions.

Cue Travis Kelce who parades her around, shows up, says he's not running from it, he's all in. That has to be music to her ears, pun intended. Someone is choosing her in a really big way. It's nice.


Exactly! Sometimes there’s no bigger turn-on then a guy who pursues you, no matter what. And she’s obviously attracted to him as well.

Any wonder there’s been recent articles that she fears her fame will drive him away and he’s interviewed by Billy Bush saying he’s not running away from any of it. I think that’s exactly what she’s referring to in The Alchemy when she talks about something that only happens once in a few lifetimes. He’s her “white wine.”




I think The Alchemy was originally written about Matty and Taylor did some editing.

Learning that Taylor and Marty had a fling 10 years ago explains songs like End Game, Dont Blame Me, and others on Rep. Joe never seemed to fit those.

A lot of Reputation seems to be about Matty. The 1, Cardigan on folklore.

Who calls their “legendary” love the smallest man who ever lived to the entire world?


I get that. I had that. When someone you consider a legendary love from your perspective then acts so cowardly and spineless they quickly become the smallest man who ever lived. The higher they fall the harder they hit ground.

The same person who writes like this:

“And *my words shoot to kill when I'm mad*
I have a lot of regrets about that.”

“Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled
I'm fine with my *spite*
And my tears and my beers and my candles.”

“And I cut off my nose just to spite my face.”
- The Archer, Lover

“Whether I’m gonna be your wife or

By the way, I believe all of the above songs, in addition to many others, are about Matty Healy.

I still think most of Lover (and a big chunk of Rep— Delicate, Gorgeous, King of My Heart, New Years Day, etc) is Joe.

But The 1 and Cardigan are really really looking like Matty-inspired songs now. She said folklore was fictional stories but Invisible String and Peace are definitely Joe songs, so that statement was already a half-truth at best.

Dissecting and bisecting every single lyric of every song is still not going to change the fact that she’s been glued to Kelce’s side for months. Probably best to just move on. She has.

I think on of reasons I hope this works out for Taylor and Travis is that the sparkle and joy I see between them reminds me of how I felt in the beginning of my relationship with now-DH. They both light up and I like seeing it.

DH and I met when I was 29 and have been together almost 30 years. We don't glow as brightly as we used to but the banked warmth is still there. For someone who thought never to have this, I'm alway appreciative even when in a rough patch.

I believe she got with Travis to make Matty Healy jealous. Maybe Travis grew on her over time and this evolves into more than what it started as. Maybe she will settle for “long-suffering propriety” after all. Unless music-muse lover-boy decides to answer her calls, and then the plot gets really interesting

She has lots of sparkle and joy at Gillette Stadium in Boston when she told the crowd on that rainy night that this is the happiest she has ever been in her life, “in all aspects” of her life. How her life finally makes sense. Right before she played her surprise song, Question, which is inspired by guess who?
It isn’t Travis or Joe or Harry

She chose to release the album though, didn’t she? All 31 songs. She could have buried it in the vaults for a later release. No one was expecting an album from her given her crazy tour schedule. She could have released a regular length album with half the Matty Healy sad/love songs cut out. If she was truly over him, that would have been the best snub. It still would been a respectable 12-15 song album. Or she could have tweaked lyrics to make it less obvious who she is tortured over. She’s been doing that for a decade. And yet she chose not to any of those things. Why do you think that is?
