They made a fairy tale out of that. Spoiler: The odd duck is really a swan. |
No. What I had to say is stated above. It’s a lot to be in love with a global superstar who needs 24-7 security and is at risk of being killed. Taylor said she has to travel with a wound repair kit. Anyone dating her has to be able to handle all that. It’s a lot, like I said. You can’t just run to the store for ice cream. You lose some freedoms and gain others. |
+1 Taylor trained fans to look for Easter eggs so they do. They sometimes look to her lyrics for those Easter eggs. |

I’m an unapologetic Swiftie but that’s insane. I can tell you from a Facebook Swiftie group I belong to (LOL!!) that it’s true. Some of these women are certifiable. But that’s on them. Taylor Swift creates a fandom but holy hell these people take it to such an extreme that it’s like watching a car crash. So I stay in the group and watch from afar. |
I like Swift a lot but I have a friend who dedicated her 20s/30s to Swift and is now rounding on 38 and is unmarried without kids and I honestly think it's because she focused too much energy, attention, and money on Taylor Swift. She's seen Eras like 8 times. Back when she still used to go on dates, she'd get mad if the guy wasn't enthusiastic about Swift. Like not even a situation where he said something negative (which is a dumb move on a guy's part -- don't yuck someone else's yum) but if she told a guy she was really into Swift and he wasn't like "omg that's amazing, I also love her" she'd never go out with him again. It was a totally unrealistic expectation and reflected an obsessive focus on Swift. Who know, maybe without Taylor Swift my friend would have found some other way to torpedo relationships. But for her it was definitely Swift-related. Recently she was begging me to go see Swift in Europe with her and I gave her a hard no several times because I have two kids and a pretty serious job and can't jet off to Europe to see a concert at this stage in my life. The begging turned to "you don't understand because you're SO LUCKY to have found a husband and had kids and I'm all alone." But while she was obsessively following Taylor Swift I was working, dating, planning my family, and building a life and home with my DH. I'm lucky to have found him but she could have been lucky in the same way. She was on Reddit posting about the latest Taylor's Version drop and spending her savings on concert tickets. The arrested development of some Swift fans is really something. Grow up. She's just a pop star. |
| To some, Taylor Swift has become their friend, family, spiritual fulfillment. The case of the woman closing on 40 with the continued obsession is sad because she doesn't sound content with her choices. |
It is something to behold. Sounds like your friend needs to hear this. |

In that article the men are clearly the problem. Basically the more their wives spoke up and advocated for themselves, the more their husbands blamed it on Taylor Swift. And the musician husband? Yikes. I’m not a Taylor fan, but I dated a musician a few years ago who HATED her. Said it wasn’t “real” music. Didn’t like when I pointed out that he’d been trying to make a music career work for the last 15 years with zero success, so maybe he’s not in a position to determine what is it isn’t good music. |
You mean the TWO men in the article? Just stop trying to make fetch happen. This article is trash and has nothing to do with the millions of TS fans. |
Only someone on DCUM would think one of the world’s elite athletes is inferior “breeding stock.” |
That post explains so much about women in the DC area. I’ve watched the Kelce brothers’ podcast a couple of times. Travis is not an intellectual, but he’s smart and funny and he’s very sweet with Jason’s girls and they obviously adore him. He’ll make a great dad. |
I mean it sounds like she has some level of mental illness or neurodiversity and this is what she chose to fixate on. Plenty of women like TS music and still got married. TS gets to be a billionaire, I can't live off her reflected glory lol. |
Peope still talk about marriage and kids like that’s what you’re supposed to do as a badge of honor. Marriage and kids isn’t everything. Some people enjoy life without that commitment and that’s fine, also |
