Does this Taylor Swift fling with the NFL football brute seem super fake?

1. He has a SO.

2. Very good chance he is gay.

Oy vey, give it a rest. Every celeb isn't secretly gay.

This seems genuine to me although Travis K seems to not mind courting the media at all. Taylor, for her part, just came out of a 6 year old relationship where her ex did not want to be associated with her in public, so she is loving someone who likes and enjoys doting on her in public.

They're both successful and pretty equally famous in their own spheres, they both come from normal wholesome families and are both competitive and achievement oriented.

I can see this having a good run, if not ending in a marriage. They're both 33!

It's totally normal for famous people to develop an interest in each other and then date. There are tons of celeb couples. No one is like "this must be fake because both of these people are rich and successful and that rarely leads to romance!" Duh.

But most famous people do not perform their first date in quite this way, nor do most people get involved with a super busy fellow famous person right at the beginning of the most intensive part of their year. Like even the Kardashians are more low-key than this when they start dating someone new. Like we only found out Kylie Jenner and T. Chalamet were dating when paparazzi photographed them at Chalamet's house. They were dating for actual months before they ever went "public" with it. Kylie Jenner! Meanwhile Kelce and Swift are mouthing sweet nothings to each other on a Jumbotron at an NFL game. It doesn't feel, uh, organic.

This is normal for Taylor. She seems to enjoy public displays of support. Matty Healy was at every one of her shows during their brief relationship.

She has a short hiatus from her tour right now, otherwise this wouldn’t be happening. She’ll be based on London for most of next year so this will probably fizzle out.

I live in KC, and I'm tired of seeing it plastered all over social media already. Hopefully it dies down.

Oddly though, I'm liking this particular discussion.

I love her music but much of what she does is not authentic. Look at who she was having dinner with last week. Twice.

Who?

Anyway, I can't see it lasting, but I don't know what she'd gain by putting on a fake show of dating him.

Re-bolster her appeal with flyover country? Sporty narrative. Kansas City is America's
team and their quarterback is arguably the most famous athlete in America. Over 20 million Americans were watching the game she was at.

the woman sold out an entire north american stadium tour in minutes. her appeal is firmly in place in every part of the country. can she really not date whomever she chooses without people making it a thing?

NFL "boyfriend" during the season on a flyover state team probably polled well in a focus group (after the ick fling with the British weirdo). Everything she does is poll tested.

Does she really need to? Apparently the demand for her concert tickets was 900x the number of tickets they actually had to offer, crashing Ticketmaster's site. What's gonna happen... demand will drop to 500x?

Exactly! Some sexist assumes this PR stunt helps her more than him. It does not. She is already Grade A famous. He is some dumb jock looking for fame when his football days are done.

She doesn't need any help in "flyover country." Where have you been?

Her 2 concerts in KC sold out in seconds just like everywhere else.

More women watching NFL. More moms allowing their boys to play football. Kelce being set up to become a The Rock actor after playing days. You think the NFL and FOX tweeting all of this live is organic? Bless your heart.

No one cares about some stupid football player who was on probation at U of Cincinnati for drugs until his brother convinced UC to lift the probation. Your trite and southern " bless your heart" shows you are one of the stupid people fawning over stupid football players.

No one cares about Travis Kelce?

No. Maybe people in KC who lead dreadful lives with nothing else to do in flyover + who elect stupid politicians like Josh Hawley.

This fake crap has been telegraphed for months with various “viral” clips of macho NFL players at her concerts. It’s cool and okay for men to listen to her catalog! She’s targeting the football demo. Tens of millions of men—over 30 million Americans have a fantasy football team. This cohort swings general elections, which I’m assuming is the real motive here.

Yep! This is why you have so many football teams talking about their fave TS songs. Do we really think that was not planned?!

The teams were asked about favorite songs because Swift’s tour was in town. I doubt she’s been working with the NFL. She sold out a stadium tour without their help.

Either way, this appears to be a calculated move to keep attention and get money. Get attached to a dude with millions of fans, appear at an event being watched by millions between your own shows, etc.

I still think there's a connection. TS played stadiums. Who uses the stadiums the most? Football teams. Lots of cross promo opportunities. If she isn't being paid directly, she's still able to earn money from her appearance at the game by getting NFL daddies to buy tix to her movie for their kids.

And she previously said her relationships were not up for discussion and kept them mostly under wraps. But now she changed her mind?

She is only seen when she wants to be seen. She has security that can make sure of that. Like, we never see her in Utah, do we? But her plane flies there.

She's in control of her story and she's brilliant or has brilliant people working for her.

Again, it's the opposite. The relationship benefits him, not her.

He is trying to break into entertainment from his football career. He has a podcast with his brother, had a short-lived reality program, and hosted SNL last year after winning the SuperBowl. He is looking towards the end of his football career and trying to lift his profile for a career in acting, realty TV, maybe broadcasting or similar. But for that he needs a fan base beyond Chiefs fans and fantasy football people. He's not a QB and that can make leap from football to entertainment more difficult.

I don't really get what's in it for her. I don't think she needs the exposure.

Kelce is a popular NFL player. I don’t think he needs her to successfully transition to the entertainment industry. I actually think the label of “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend” can hurt more than help.

I'm not sure being her boyfriend helps anyone. They turn into fodder for a song or three.

I don't think the Chiefs need TS to attract a female audience. Doesn't Patrick Mahomes do that?

Mahomes and Kelce are both insanely popular in KC. Lots of die hard female chiefs fans exist and always have. I think these two attract all fans, men, women and especially kids.

His 3mm Instagram followers prove otherwise.

I’m guessing she’s used to wearing the pants in all her relationships (real and fake) and all other aspects of her life so it feels flattering to be publicly pursued by a big burly manly-man, midwestern football player.

You're cracking me up. You're so far removed from "flyover country" you don't understand the appeal and popularity of a good football team, you think nobody cares about Travis Kelce AND you don't know about the many liberal, democratic, female and people of color (and gay for goodness sakes) politicians the KC area has elected.

You could save yourself from looking so foolish by maybe learning a little about that which you do disdain.

Following the Kansas City Chiefs' Sunday win, and in-stadium appearance from Taylor Swift, NFL partner Fanatics tells @ABC
they have seen a nearly 400% uptick in sales of Travis Kelce merchandise. The uptick landed Kelce a spot as one of the top 5 selling NFL players.

Saying that people living in KC have dreadful lives is a lazy insult. Especially when you live in a place rampant with robberies, car jacking, murders and food deserts, enjoy your good old DC and leave people of KC alone. I am sure they have more joy and fulfillment in their communities and neighborhoods.

Never thought I would say this since I love TS, went to her show, but I am getting tired of seeing and hearing about her all the time.
