+100 Doing dumb impulsive stuff in the grips of new love in your early 20s is relatable and even somewhat endearing. In your mid-thirthies, it's a little pathetic. It will be so interesting to see if/when she pivots her public persona to something else (regardless of whether she gets married or has kids). |

I disagree. She wants fans but probably doesn’t enjoy people gathered outside her front door. Same with most other celebrities. It’s a consequence of her profession and she manages well but that doesn’t mean she invites people to stand outside her home. Out in public is different. |

What other celebrity cultivates these parasocial relationships with fans the way she does, though? I can't think of any. |

It’s the NFL and NBC that made it a circus. They’re supposed to cover football, not WAGs. She should be able to attend a game like any other celebrity. |

I don't find her behavior hard to understand. She is acting at Travis' games in the same fun, supportive way that she would like her guy to be when he comes to support her at her concerts. She is trying to walk the walk. This doesn't mean they're in love or anything, she's just trying to show support.
Her cheering and bringing friends isn't weird to me. The cheering and dancing is something she does at awards shows when someone else is performing - again, to show support, its nbd. At least to her. Don't make it into some thing just because she's 30 something. Thirty+ year olds can still cheer. (See, also, 40 year olds can cheer; 50 year olds can cheer; 60 year olds can cheer; 70 year olds can cheer.) She is trying different things. It's hard to be a top female performer and have press attention but also a relationship. Many don't manage it. Lots of women just haven't; the scrutiny is hard on the relationship. Whatever works, man. |

| He’s in a bunch of commercials hosted SNL and hosts huge charity events. He likes the fanfare, he is probably pleased as punch she’s at all his games cheering. |

DP. They don’t die while playing…they die years later from CTE. |

The NFL is pressuring networks to play ads for her concert film for free. That’s how she benefits. |

DP. Has she honestly ever said she wants to get married? |

Yes with paper rings is fine too. |

No, Taylor made it a circus. There is a way to show up to a game and go out with a player afterwards that does not garner this level of attention. She did it in the showiest, most attention grabbing way possible. A lot of celebs attend sporting events and date other high profile people without drawing this much attention, even when people are desperate to see it. Like even Jessica Simpson and Olivia Munn were more discrete, and it's not like those are women known for shying from the spotlight. Had Taylor attended a game or two and been more chill during the game (which shouldn't be hard given that there is zero evidence she has ever cared about a football game before) and then gone out with Travis afterwards in a less showy way (meet up outside in black SUV, instead of doing a showy walk through he stadium and hopping in an open top convertible to cruise KC), I actually think the attention would be much, much less. She created a circus by bouncing around the suite like a cheerleader, hugging his mom on camera, trotting around the stadium with Travis wearing some goofy attention-getting outfit, riding around in his convertible, etc. Then she showed up to the next game in NY with an entourage of famous people, again acting extremely showy and over the top through the whole game. Most people, not even most celebs, act this way. There is a way to be discrete and get people to leave you alone, at least to a degree, and Taylor is doing the opposite. She is not behaving like someone who values her privacy or wants people to leave her and her new BF alone -- they are actively courting the attention. It's not a surprise the NFL or NBC decided to exploit it -- those are corporate money-making entities. |

It’s implied in some songs but the wealthier she becomes, the less marrying makes sense. She needs to find her Stedman. Anyway, I think Travis and Taylor are over. |

He just did a presser and he said you know a lot of people care about Taylor and with good reason.
God he’s so good at this. They are so together. |

How do you know those other celebs were discrete? Were you at the stadium watching their reactions to big plays or is it because the network broadcasting the game didn’t show them as often? Perhaps they only appeared discrete to you because the NFL and the network didn’t cut to them 15+ times per game or use them to promote SNF. |

Please take your misogynistic portrayal of women as seen and not heard and quiet is feminine out the door. She snuck through the back, cheered when everyone did and left. Thank God she really doesn’t care what people like this think and now she is just being herself. She looks genuinely happy and everyone can tell. |
