I don't completely disagree, but here's the thing. What's the alternative? The fact is they're both incredibly famous. She tried the whole "hide the relationship" thing for six years, and she even said in the Time Magazine article, she can't get those years back. It sounds to me like she's saying it's more exhausting to hide than just....live. And for her, living means being in the public eye, so that's what they're choosing. Sometimes it really is as simple as that and not all of this convoluted nonsense. We're trying to put "regular person" parameters on arguably the most famous musician since Michael Jackson, and the math's just not adding up. |
I think we all feel this way because there are news articles about them, but really, we don't. We know incredible surface-level stuff. |
Nope, this is a person thing. People gossip and root against people they view as showy or "extra" about relationships, kids, money, etc. They talk $hit about the colleague who posted 47 photos of her gender reveal party to Facebook. They make jokes about the friend of a friend who is always telling people how important her DH's job is. They roll their eyes at the lady who details every aspect of her kid's college apps. And so on. Being very public about private matters ALWAYS provokes criticism and nit-picking. It doesn't matter if you're Taylor Swift or the family down the street. Smart people learn to be discreet if they don't want, or are not ready, to deal with haters. |
No this is not true. You still interact with your colleagues and neighbors and they are your equals. Taylor does not interact with the millions of people who click on the articles about her. Anyone close enough to interact with (outside her close family and friends) is probably an employee or similar and will obviously want to stay on her good side. |
I don't understand specifically what you think is "not true." It doesn't matter if Taylor doesn't view fans or the public as her equals. The point is that these people know details about her relationship (how long it's been going on, how often they see each other, when they met each others parents, how they spent their holidays, even stuff like Travis' social media activity or what Taylor gave Travis to celebrate going to the playoffs) and therefor will have judgments and comments. People in this thread are acting like it's crazy people are commenting or judging but it's inevitable and normal, it's not even specific to Taylor and Travis. The British Royals, the Kardashians, certain US political figures, and some others have been through it before. If you are very high profile, you have to choose between being very private about your private life (and avoid at least some the scrutiny), or "live your life" without caring who knows what, but then assume there will be a lot of scrutiny on your personal relationships. |
“Your equals?” We are all equals. Do you think Taylor is worth more as a human because she has more money? I adamantly disagree with that idea. It is the very basis of human and civil rights “all me are created equal” |
+1000, these people think Taylor is superhuman or something. She's a person, just like me. She's got a boyfriend, and I know a lot about it. I don't need to win a Grammy to have an opinion. |
Except that every player on the KC team probably has a SO, who didn't come down to the field after the game for an on-field kiss. Still, I don't think she is trying to get publicity. I think she did it because she had to, or else be accused of causing KC to lose the superbowl by an entire city. I think she'd break up with him today if she could. I'm worried for Taylor, because he's going to end up a broke former NFL player and future Taylor Swift stalker. |
| I wonder if this is the same person, constantly defending her "right" or whatever to say what she wants, tells people to go away, she knows it all, she's the expert, writing screeds on her ideas and presenting them as fact, Taylor's asking for it, she's not immune to criticism, blah blah blah. All about a singer. |
You are so far off the plot. People on this thread were projecting about how they don’t share details about their relationship bc they will be judged after the breakup, and therefore Taylor shouldn’t either. My point was, Taylor doesn’t care what any of you think. Feel free to make your judgements about her. |
Of course they were all down there. That's how it works post-AFC/NFC Championship games. They were all down there. They weren't all photographed, but they get a family pass to go on the field to celebrate with their partners. It's always been that way. |
OH MY GOD! that’s worse! You telling anyone to grow up… on this thread?!?? Girl… you need some perspective. And maybe to go touch some grass. I gotta go do fun Saturday Stuff, but I’ll come back later and insult you some more later. 😂😂😂 |
Wow. |
NP. Well, those are some life goals, amirite? |
I think it is hilarious that you think it's one person disagreeing with you on this thread. And obviously Taylor Swift is not immune to criticism. Even with geniuses like you caping for her. |
