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

I agree with you, but still don't quite get what she gets out of this relationship (I am firmly in the "this is fake and orchestrated by PR camp) because while she of course wants more fans and more money, I'm not sure dating Kelce gets them for her? She's just way higher profile than he is. And I already know enough middle-America, football-loving guys who have bought Taylor Swift albums and tickets because their wives/girlfriends/daughters are obsessed with her. I don't think this moves the needle really.

My super-conspiracy theory is that there is some horse trading going on with publicists and other entities, where Taylor agrees to this fake relationship with Kelce to help boost his star, and then Taylor gets something tangible she wants, like a major licensing deal or something. Like maybe Kelce himself can't offer her much, but the people who are invested in his success might have something to offer her.

My bet: Super Bowl halftime brought to you by TS. An abbreviated Eras show. But not in 2024, but rather 2025.

OMG this is totally it. And she's going to tease out some sort of partnership with the NFL for the next 1.5 years for a stupid amount of money.

Why would she do that?

Why wouldn't she? Super Bowl is the single biggest stage in the world every year.

I could see her doing it as an exclamation point to the Eras tour, which finishes up in late 2024. Most Super Bowl performers do a medley of their greatest hits and the Eras Tour is literally a GREATEST HITS tour. Totally makes sense to wrap up the tour at the Super Bowl.

She turned down the 2024 Super Bowl half-time show back in August.

Are you kidding? The athlete is way more sexy.

He's very good looking - why wouldn't she be interested in him? She's not an astrophysicist - she's kind of like him - just very good at what she does.

It's not that, its the idea that KELCE would be who she would choose to get more fans. If she was actually trying to do the 'world domination' angle she would be trying to establish a relationship with an international star, someone from Bollywood or South Korea or China, not some American football player that isn't at all connected to the music industry and in a realm where she already has a lot of fans.

Uh, no way. Those countries fetishize whiteness.

If you think that her dating like, Jin from BTS would not actually improve her level of fame abroad in comparison to Kelce then you are living in an american bubble lady. Yang Yang, Wang Yibo. These are people who are more famous in Asia than she is. Perhaps, she is very famous everywhere. But these are people who would grow her base in places where she is not already ubiquitous. She has never dated particularly strategically or intelligently, I don't know why she would start now.

Alwyn was basically a neutral with fame, Matty whats his face was BAD for her. I don't she is an extremely savvy businesswoman but I think her picker for guys is basically impulsive and her type is 'hot white guy'. Which is fine, but I don't know why people are confused about this pick. This is a hot charismatic guy in the prime of his life who travels a lot and doesn't need much from her who is openly courting her in public. This is clearly all up her alley.

Lol, yes we're all so nosy about this date that was broadcast on national television and featured Kelce mouthing comments about Taylor while looking lovingly up from the field, a paparazzi walk in carefully selected outfits, and an extended drive around town in an open top convertible.

Why won't people just let Taylor be private?!?!?!?!?

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?

When your nosebleed concert tickets are going for $5K, you live in a $30M Manhattan penthouse, and you're hobnobbing with NYC hipster creatives, it can erode your flyover rube base, especially as she's becoming more vocal politically. Pretending to date some dumb middle class stock football jock is something millions of rubes will lap up.

she doesnt need to worry about her "flyover rube base". she is insanely popular everywhere.

Notwithstanding all her riches and adoring fans, I kind of wonder if somewhere inside of her, there's still that "I wear sneakers, I'm in the bleachers" dorky girl who is just thrilled to finally catch the eye of the popular jock.

I was kinda hoping she and Sophie would have a fling. I’m a bit bummed.

You are bummed two clearly heterosexual women don't want to have s&x with each other and instead have a supportive friendship? I don't understand people who seem to want her to be gay when she very clearly is not. And I have no problems with gay people but like, people can be heterosexual! At this point she has dated like 15 men sequentially and written song after song about her heartbreaks, stop trying to make gaylor happen and let her be!

I don’t think only gay people date those of the same sex. Sexuality can also be fluid.

You need to calm down.

Sexuality can be fluid, but sometimes it isn't. I just think its bizarre to be disappointed in her that she continually dates men. There is a ridiculously large population convinced she is married to Karlie Kloss in secret. It's just weird.

I will never understand why people invest their time in conspiracy theories about completely inconsequential people/things.

Sounds like this thread isn’t for you.

And Kelce is not popular with the MAGA base because he’s pro-COVID vaccine.

Halftime show isn’t high status anymore, so I doubt she really cares about that. Frankly, Usher is a washed up nobody. But I agree, this is all clearly in some sort of long term partnership with NFL and presumably Fox. She would get a stupid amount of money in a multi-year deal to try to get younger women watching football. NFL generated $20 billion last year. They can casually cut her a $100+ million check to better appeal to young women and moms.

So apparently, Kim Kardashian announced Usher as the halftime show entertainment yesterday? That was supposed to be the viral news.

Well done, Taylor.

He’s a guy not scared of fame, has a fun personality, has a close relationship with his family and totally different from the artist type she normally dates. Don’t see why this is so far fetched. It’s just dating. Does not mean they are exclusive or headed down the aisle.

+1 Ciara was a Tom Brady fan when she started dating Russell Wilson. She had previously posted an IG video during one of the superbowls where she was cheering on Tom Brady and hastagged it something like, tom brady all day. Jimmy Kimmel was interviewing Wilson and asked him had he seen that IG video and he laughed and responded, 'Yeah, that was our first fight'. It was a great response and pretty funny. Ciara had just had a baby with her ex, the lean-drinking mumble rapper Future, and started dating Russell Wilson who openly praised and expressed his love of God, straight-laced nerdy guy who volunteered in the cancer center of the children's hospital each week. Yeah, people called this relationship fake and said it would never work. They've been married 7 years and she's pregnant with their 3rd child.
