No, it's not being lost on us. We just think it's lame to have a freaking "easter egg" in your dating life, a planted reference designed to reward fans for obsessing over your every move. Like I think that's borderline insane. It also pushes fans to obsessive even more, looking for more references and secret codes, pulling apart her every move and word, looking for messages in her clothes, her hair, her shade of lipstick.

All of which is a great way to sell concert tickets and albums, but an absolutely deranged and gross way to conduct your personal life.

Which, again, is why some of us speculate that this is not actually her persona life, but a fake relationship being conducted for business reasons.

She likes attention. She found someone who also likes attention. Call the celeb police.

Also, why do you keep posting this tweet at all? A quick google says this guy is a Holocaust denier who called Obama the n-word and has repeatedly used an ethnic slur to describe Vivek Ramaswamy. (But also was engaged to Christina Ricci for a hot minute which is wild lmfao)

Yes, and many of us are annoyed by it specifically because they've created a kind of attention vortex that has pulled in the NFL, the sports media, morning talk shows, our parents, my Uber driver, Liz Cheney, and now even the entire MAGA world. Do you really not understand why some people might find that... irritating?

I find people with Main Character Syndrome annoying, but there's nothing worse than when two people with Main Character Syndrome start a relationship. If these two get married it will be like the time my annoying coworker talked about her wedding every day for 8 straight months, only times a billion. So... thumbs down.

I have been posting anti-Taylor for months here and I am the opposite of MAGA. I see Taylor as a woman who poses as a feminist, but really defines herself by men (even the girl gangs like her hanging with Brittany seem contrived to me) and as someone who is killing the planet with her jet and crappy plastic bracelets. The over commercialization of herself as a product is too much for me. It is like Disney on steroids.

That said, the enemy of your enemy is your ally, so if she gets people to vote against MAGA, awesome.

Wow, I could have posted this. Yes! I also think Taylor is a self-interested hypocrite, but will accept her as my overlord if it keeps Trump from getting elected again. But then I'll plot to overthrow her because I don't want to be coerced into buying Midnights (Taylor's Version Part 7, 2036) from my local Target.

Lol. I don't care about Taylor either way but I do agree. She is def. the grown-up popular girl who immediately becomes besties with people who can give her what she wants (in this case, press coverage at games) and ignores everyone else (I don't think I've seen her with any other players' wives although to be fair I wouldn't know one of the other players' wives if they came up and hit me lol). The Brittany Mahomes thing is wild because Brittany was reviled until she became friends with Taylor. And like, if Taylor and Travis break up, Taylor will immediately drop her and they'll never be seen together again but it is crazy to me she totally flipped the narrative on a very-hated woman.

No...I don't? You don't know these people personally (I assume you don't) so what effect does hearing about it in passing have on your life at all? If your Uber driver is like "Did you see Taylor at the game last night" you can just be like "No, sorry" and go back to your phone. It really is not that serious lol.

I also dislike people with Main Character Syndrome IRL. All celebrities have main character syndrome and I don't know them so it doesn't bother me.

So I don't agree with this (she actually has hung out with other player's wives and even hosted a sleepover watch party at her NYC place for a bunch of them when the Chiefs played in Germany) and I actually don't think Taylor drops people every -- I think she's a collector and likes adding people to her long list of celebrity friends and never takes anyone off.

But also I think these relationships are incredibly shallow, that she uses these friendships to drive press coverage of her (Taylor Swift eating dinner with non-celeb friend gets zero clicks, whereas Taylor Swift goes to dinner with Selena Gomez and Blake Lively gets millions of clicks), and that it has become this aspirational thing for young women to have a "girl squad" like Taylor's, but I don't think these people are friend sin the way I think of friendship. I think they are mutual users.

So yes she has done a fair amount with the wives. She hosted them in NY at an away game. And went out with several of them another time with her crew. Also has been out with them twice in KC.

She actually is quite genuine in this relationship. As is he. They are having a ton of fun.

Taylor & Travis have officially moved into a category where no, you cannot simply "go back to your phone" to avoid conversation about them.

The degree to this is true should already be clear, but if it's not, let's just see how this plays out at the Super Bowl. As a longtime football fan, Taylor/Travis is like some kind of alien spacecraft that moved in to blot out the sun 3 months ago. It's very, very tiresome.

Okay, the sleepover watch party is actually very cute and I would definitely do something like that if I were rich and famous.

You're totally right about the relationships being very shallow! Taylor reminds me of this girl I went to college with who would suck up to the older girls in the sorority and ignore the rest of us (unless we had something she wanted) but the girls she wanted to be friends with weren't really her friends? They were just like oh yeah, she sucks up to us and invites us to her parents' beach house lol.

Side note to every one else: This is what normal criticism of Taylor looks like! Me and this PP discussing how she's kind of a friend collector with shallow friendships. Notice how neither of us mentioned her having dried up eggs or being a beard?

I think I have literally had one conversation about Taylor and Travis and it was when I went to my boyfriend's work happy hour on a Friday afternoon and the bar on Capitol Hill had a rerun of a Chiefs game from the previous weekend playing. One of the girls he works with is from Kansas City and asked if I liked Taylor Swift. I said yes but that I didn't follow football so I didn't know much about Travis.

That's it! That's the only conversation I've had about this! And that was three or four months ago!

This is why you don't feel inundated. For actual football fans, the coverage feels incessant and has really obliterated normal coverage of the sport, especially since the playoffs. I am not a Chiefs fan so I wouldn't have been rooting for them to make it to the Super Bowl no matter what, but my team didn't even make the playoffs so I was just watching because I love football. And I was not alone in very much wishing the Chiefs would lose so that we could have games be about, you know, football instead of whether or not Taylor Swift was there, who she was with, and whether her impact on the game is good or bad (it's bad, fools).

But yeah, I guess if you don't follow football, the coverage of Swift probably hasn't impacted you in a negative way. Good for you.
