The clip was worse than I expected.
It's very awkward. I know fans and the NFL are just delighted by all of this, but I can't imagine being enthusiastic about a relationship like this if it was your son or daughter. No rational parent hopes their child has an extremely high profile romance with paparazzi everywhere and branding opportunities and a massive circus around everything they do. Even if your child is an adult who is a famous football player, you are hoping they find love and commitment and stability. Not whatever this is.
No rational parent hopes their child ends up in the NFL playing a deadly sport, either
Look, I wouldn't encourage my kid to play football, but the NFL is not deadly. The percent of players who have ever died playing the support is probably lower than a ton of other professions, including law and finance as well as physically dangerous professions like construction and deep sea fishing. LOTS of parents hope their kids wind up playing in the NFL and you know it.

ut dating Taylor Swift sucks and most people recognize that. Mostly not her fault, but it is what it is.
Does it though? I can't even name that guy she was engaged to and was in a long term relationship with. They seemed to live a pretty low profile life in NYC. You rarely saw him photographed with her and she seems to be able to go out in NYC with her squad and people seem to leave her alone other than some photos of her coming and going, etc. which most celebrities get anyway. I think this relationship in particular is a bit of a circus because of her high profile attendance at the games. If she did indeed celebrate his bday with him in KC, so far no one has picked up on that. They were able to keep it on the DL.
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.
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.
