His whole family would have to be in on it, including his parents, brother, SIL and kids. Brittany and Pat Mahomes would have to be in on it, as Taylor spends her free time with them sometimes.

Taylor has gone to almost all of his games - all for PR??? She's worth a billion dollars, was Time Person of the Year, is up for 3 million Grammys - what more "PR" does she need? And why would she have wasted the last 6 months in a fake relationship with Travis when she could have used her time off really having fun?

Please be smarter people. I'm embarrassed for you.

+1 All of this. I really can’t believe people still say this.

+2 They could be married with several children and these shrills would still be harping on about it being for PR. And the gaylors will never stop their absurd and frankly offensive speculation about her sexuality either.

They are both at an age where if they are going to get married and have kids, this is it. Madonna had her first child at 38. Gwen Stefani was 37. Taylor is right in window for having a baby. Why not pick hot jock for daddy?

Has he actually said this? That will never happen.

He says he wants to be "as famous as The Rock" and hired agents to make that happen before he got involved with TS. Just a coincidence, surely...

That's probably why they got involved. Have your agent call my agent. They are like an old fashioned hollywood "couple" that the studios put together for PR. They have ZERO chemistry. On the other hand, Taylor Swift sure does a lot of hugging and jumping up a down with her "best friend" while watching her "boyfriend" play football. They are beards.

This is crazy. In what way would this benefit TS? If she was gay, she’d be openly gay. Why do you over analyze people like this and not take them at face value?

Well her target audience is teen girls and there is no more homophobic crowd than teens. Do you think all those girls would be worshiping an open lesbian the way they do TS? Doubtful.

You clearly don’t have a teenager. It is pretty cool to be bi these days.

If that were true wouldn't there be someone filling that niche? It's cool for a fringe group, but not mainstream.

But you’re not not cool if you’re straight. That’s the distinction. There are enough people who think that gay/bi=bad that it could do some damage to her career if she came out. On the other hand, nobody thinks her being straight is a bad thing.

DP. Yep. Not a Travis fan but he's smarter than this. I'm sure he knew going in that the hardcore Tay fans are not well. There's no way he's done all these silly reality shows, podcasts, commercials, music festivals (lol) to risk it all by setting off the TayTays that consider the relationship their own.

agreed. She appeals to a broad range of people including those who are homophobic or have homophobic parents. It would damage her career some and I see why she or anyone else in her position wouldn't risk it. That being said I don't think she's bi or gay. I think she adored Joe but their lifestyles didn't match up.

Serious question: where are people getting that she’s gay or bi? Is it just that she appears to have zero chemistry with any of the famous guys she’s dated, or what?

There’s been speculation for years, a lot of it fueled by her relationship with Karlie Kloss and some photos that looked like they were kissing.

People have speculated and she’s never denied it. But why would she? Her actions—dating men exclusively—prove she’s straight. Denying gay rumors in an interview implies there is something wrong with being gay and she needs to correct the record. That’s why she says nothing!

She has denied it - both in her behavior (dating only men) and in the 1989TV liner notes:

When I was 24 I sat in a backstage dressing room in London, buzzing with anticipation. My backup singers and bandmates gathered around me in a scattered circle. Scissors emerged and I watched in the mirror as my locks of long curly hair fell in piles on the floor. There I was in my plaid button down shirt, grinning sheepishly as my tour mates and friends cheered on my haircut. This simple thing that everyone does. But I had a secret. For me, it was more than a change of hairstyle. When I was 24, I decided to completely reinvent myself.

How does a person reinvent herself, you ask? In any way I could think of. Musically, geographically, aesthetically, behaviorally, motivationally ... and I did so joyfully. The curiosity I had felt the first murmurs of while making “Red” had amplified into a pulsing heartbeat of restlessness in my ears. The risks I took when I toyed with pop sounds and sensibilities on “Red”? I wanted to push it further. The sense of freedom I felt when traveling to big bustling cities? I wanted to live in one. The voices that had begun to shame me in new ways for dating like a normal young woman? I wanted to silence them.

You see — in the years preceding this, I had become the target of slut shaming — the intensity and relentlessness of which would be criticized and called out if it happened today. The jokes about my amount of boyfriends. The trivialization of my songwriting as if it were a predatory act of a boy crazy psychopath. The media co-signing of this narrative. I had to make it stop because it was starting to really hurt.

It became clear to me that for me there was no such thing as casual dating, or even having a male friend who you platonically hang out with. If I was seen with him, it was assumed I was sleeping with him. And so I swore off hanging out with guys, dating, flirting or anything that could be weaponized against me by a culture that claimed to believe in liberating women but consistently treated me with the harsh moral codes of the Victorian Era.

Being a consummate optimist, I assumed I could fix this if I simply changed my behavior. I swore off dating and decided to focus only on myself, my music, my growth, and my female friendships. If I only hung out with my female friends, people couldn’t sensationalize or sexualize that — right? I would learn later on that people could and people would.

But none of that mattered then because I had a plan and I had a demeanor as trusting as a basket of golden retriever puppies. I had the keys to my own apartment in New York and I had new melodies bursting from my imagination. I had Max Martin and Shellback who were happy to help me explore this new sonic landscape I was enamored with. I had a new friend named Jack Antonoff who had made some cool tracks in his apartment. I had the idea that the album would be called "1989," and we would reference big 80's synths and write sky high choruses. I had sublime, inexplicable faith and I ran right toward it. In high heels and a crop top.

There was so much that I didn’t know then, and looking back I see what a good thing that was. This time of my life was marked by right kind of naïveté, a hunger for adventure, and a sense of freedom I hadn’t tasted before. It turns out that the cocktail of naïveté, hunger for adventure and freedom can lead to some nasty hangovers, metaphorically speaking. Of course everyone had something to say. But they always will. I learned lessons, paid prices, and tried to ... don’t say it ... don’t say it ... I’m sorry, I have to say it ... shake it off.

I’ll always be so incredibly grateful for how you loved and embraced this album. You, who followed my zig zag creative choices and cheered on my risks and experiments. You, who heard the wink and humor in “Blank Space” and maybe even empathized with the pain behind the satire. You, who saw the seeds of allyship and advocating for equality in “Welcome to New York.” You, who knew that maybe a girl who surrounds herself with female friends in adulthood is making up for a lack of them in childhood (not starting a tyrannical hot girl cult). You, who saw that I reinvent myself for a million reasons, and that one of them is to try my very best to entertain you. You, who have had the grace to allow me the freedom to change.

I was born in 1989, reinvented for the first time in 2014, and a part of me was reclaimed in 2023 with the re-release of this album I love so dearly. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the magic you would sprinkle on my life for so long.

This moment is a reflection of the woods we’ve wandered through and all this love between us still glowing in the darkest dark.

I present to you, with gratitude and wild wonder, my version of “1989.”

It’s been waiting for you.

She is criticizing people’s speculation about her relationships—male and female friendships. She doesn’t comment on her own sexuality and doesn’t need to.

This is part of her and her fandom I never understand. She stalks her fans online, responds to select fans via social, invites them to secret parties, and leaves Easter eggs in her work so her fans can figure out her personal life and then claims, “They NEVER leave me alone and are always speculating about me.”
Does she have zero culpability for her actions here? If so, why? The press and paparazzi aren’t forcing her to write in Easter eggs and respond online. Those are her choices.

All the people wishing Taylor was gay make me laugh. They are so insistent on it.

Do you really think JA would have dated her for that long if she was gay? He clearly hates the attention.
