Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift engaged!

[Anonymous]

She said last year that they wanted a huge wedding. MSG is probably the best way to accommodate that and everyone’s schedules/logistics/privacy. It’s also on brand for both of them - go big or go home.

Still tacky and brand killing. She already has a popularity dip with gen z. Now she'll be an untouchable to them - they hate this stuff. I think the eras tour changed her brain.

Who thows a wedding reception at a stadiun?!

Someone with 500 famous friends, many of which are musicians and are known to have jam sessions at other parties, and all of whom require security of their own and probably value privacy.

One isn't friends with 500 people. At that point it is purely transactional.

Agreed. A reception in a stadium is bollywood nonsense and not her brand at all. I really do think the eras tour broke her brain.

I do like her - or versions or her she has sold me reputation through ttpd.. But this stadium reception is a huge miscalculation, personally and professionally. People there will be laughing at her and people not there will be cringing or worse.

It wasn’t the Era Tour. It’s her age. She’s 36. She’s super old for pop music. Her looks are fading. She’s not cool. She’s unmarried. She’s childless. Those variables drives normal women insane, let alone coupled with the fact she’s a pop star whose new music isn’t organically charting like it did in her prime.

Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and Ella Langley are the “it” girls in country.

Swift is like a greatest hits nostalgic act at this point. Which is obviously incredibly profitable but she’s not the sort to be content with they. She’s still trying to chase fame and trends. It’s desperate and thirsty.

This is, as the kids say, delulu. The Eras tour ended in December of 2024. Every seat in every enormous stadium over what? 100? shows was sold out. All over the world.

Taylor Swift is highly intelligent and produces her music and brand at a consistently high level of quality. If she wants to jump back into music as a performer I think she's going to have a much better chance of having her finger on the pulse of what will be successful than any of us do.

Rolling Stones and U2 sell out concerts too. They're nostalgia acts. Swift's "my version" albums are literally staggered greatest hits re-releases because all of her new music sucks. She's washed.

We all had THAT friend who married super late and insists on a huge wedding. It's so cringe.

They are winning at life and yes they are cringe. They own it.

I've always thought she was cringe, but in a good way: She's out there doing what she wants, takes her job and her fans seriously, and she's not afraid to be "too much". And she picked a guy who is very much the same. I'm not even a fan (own none of her albums) but it's crazy to claim she is washed up when she is still in the very top streaming and grossing artists, including for this year. And some of the other artists up there like Rihanna, The Weekend and Drake are around her age. As for young people, yes, they like new music, then tire of it. Enduring is harder.

All of those musicians you listed are old news. No teenager is eager for the new Drake or Taylor Swift song. Doesn’t mean they don’t still stream a bunch of songs or can’t sell out a venue to spendthrift middle aged fans. But their peak is behind them.

Or we have friends that never marry and nobody judges in my crew because to each their own.
She’s Taylor Swift. If she was getting married at 80 it would be a big deal. You’re cringe but too dense to own it.

Nobody cared when Mariah Carey got married. Or Rihanna. Or Beyoncé. Or Madonna. Sure, it’ll be viral for a weekend. And then Swift is stuck with this idiot. Middle aged pop stars don’t move the needle. And Kelce is legitimately gross and revolting to casual observers of pop culture. It’s not like Swift is marrying some gorgeous English singer or a hunky hockey player. She’s marrying an ugly dummy.

Msg wedding reception is the very definition of jumping the shark.

She's definitely not washed up and the posters saying that are being ridiculous. Whether her music or specific brand of celebrity is for you, she's clearly still very much on top. You hear her music everywhere, it's ubiquitous. I didn't even like her last album at all but I hear Opalite all the time and still find myself singing along sometimes. She's not washed up.

That said, I have a totally different take on her cringiness. I respect her enormously as an artist and a businesswoman, there are few other artists who have found a way to marry commercial success with making what appears to be *exactly* the music she wants to make. But her public persona and her brand of cringe really bugs me. Where you see someone who isn't afraid to be "too much", I see entitlement and a level of ego that really grates on me. It's just something that happens when someone hits that level of superstardom. I felt the same about Michael Jackson in his "King of Pop" phase (before the pedophilia allegations even). Madonna is another great example. They also weren't afraid to be "too much." It's because they have enormous egos, more money than God, and forgot their $hit stinks just like everyone else's.

I love some of her music and can overlook the personality issues to respect her as an artist, but I'm not going to try to find someone to defend this circus as anything other than a self-absorbed celebrity circle jerk. And yes, Travis is similar to her in personality and the combination is nauseating to me. Sorry not sorry. Anti-hero is still one of my favorite songs of the last decade.

But doesnt shechave someone to tell her a stadium wedding reception is a bad look, will make you mocked and despised. Can no one tell her this?!

And if she's marrying Matty? Would that be cringe?
