She puts an absolutely insane amount of effort into analyzing boyfriends and relationships, like a typical autistic boy with dinosaurs or something.

This is dumb. Who knows if she’s on the spectrum but she doesn’t have an “obsession” with boyfriends, it’s just great material for songwriting- especially if your primary audience is young women.

I think it's odd she keeps talking about feminism and female empowerment yet writes mostly cliche shit about men.

The cliche stuff was. Written when she was much younger. The older she gets, the more sophisticated her writing gets.

I agree. He has all of the building blocks of an action star - big, strong, handsome, be he has NONE of the star-power or "it" factor that's required. His awful behavior during the trophy presentation just solidified how he isn't suited to being in front of the camera.

What did he do during the presentation? I was so mad I turned it off right after the end of the game.

As it was explained in the pregame show, Americans love to see people win, but once they start winning "too much", we turn on the person. That goes for athletes and celebrities as a whole, and friends/colleagues on a granular level.

+1, this is why most people correctly hate Tom Brady and the Brady-Belichick era Patriots. For instance, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Eli Manning for no other reason than that his Giants teams beat the Patriots twice at the Superbowl and kept Brady et al from two more rings. And the fact that Brady was married to Gisele, a certified super model, and they both seemed to know they were beautiful and perfect -- people haaaated them. Patriots fans liked Brady, and he had allure for a certain brand of alpha-bro who says things like "I just like winners" at dinner parties, but most people hated them.

Taylor/Travis are the new Tom/Gisele and this will automatically make people dislike them and pick apart everything they say and do. It's just the way of things, I don't even think it's personal. We build people up and then we tear them down. Natural cycle of celebrity.

Except Travis is no Tom Brady and TS is no Gisele (looks wise. Of course she’s wildly more successful professionally)

I actually think Taylor and Gisele have a ton of professional similarities in terms of their careers and the level of domination they are/were at when they met their NFL significant others. Taylor has more money, but she's at a similar level in the music industry to what Gisele was at in the modeling industry at the time. But Taylor should take a look at Gisele -- like Shakira, Gisele backburnered her career in order to be the supportive wife for Brady's career and raise their kids. She left a ton of money on the table to make herself secondary to him. And look how that turned out.

Sometimes successful women are drawn to men with huge egos, and these men often look at these beautiful, accomplished women as the ultimate trophy. But once they have that trophy... they just want more trophies. They are living out a childhood fantasy, it's not true love. Tom Brady's first and only love is himself, and this is likely true for Kelce too.

True, however Travis is at the end of the career cycle for a tight end. So he's prime to retire, transition to entertainment news (sports and e-news) and follow Taylor around for another year.

Both of them could do some fun adjacent career pivots plus marry and enjoy some kids!

Nah, she wants some high profile dude and doesn't like nice men.

Is the Brit ex dating anyone new? Rekindling a romance with the gorgeous and sweet British ex during Euro leg of her tour is perfect for viral buzz, PR and a future album material. Who knows, maybe this was all choreographed well in advance.

It’s time for Taylor to be the heartbreaker! And these flings make her realize what she had with the Brit boy.

He was the unfunny dope who yells when he’s trying to be funny and thinks the louder he yells the funnier he is. But he wasn’t funny at all. Then he did some more obnoxious loud unfunny stuff at the club later. Guy is just an embarrassing clown.

I know it can be frustrating to get benched and AR was making questionable calls, but Kelce's behavior was too much. I do hope he comes out and publicly apologizes. I can see TS's team demanding it. It's a really bad look for her young fans.

KC won, everyone wants to forget about it, including Andy Reid who I am not sure even fully noticed it was happening (he was laser focused on the game).

I think it was weird, aggro behavior, but I think from the side of the team and the NFL, no one will care and it will be blown off as normal aggression in a high pressure moment.

It would actually be interesting if Taylor or her team decided to make an issue of it or ask Kelce to publicly apologize to protect HER image. I honestly don't know how that would play out. Football is very insular and I could see Travis being annoyed at the idea that he needs to be accountable to Swift's fans for something he did while playing football. That's really not usually how it works, because I can't think of a football player who has ever dated someone this high profile with "young fans." Closest I can think of is when Romo dated Jessica Simpson, but she was nowhere near Taylor's level of popularity and didn't really have a legion of teenage girl fans. Also Romo never did anything like this -- I'm sure he had some frustrations or maybe shouted while they were dating, but mostly people just blamed her whenever he lost or struggled so the power dynamics were very different.

I’d want passionate players on my work teams or sports team$$$$ to speak up in the moment when a whole possession Fd up and terrible.

If you didn’t speak up, I’d be more worried.

Sure he’ll say he was worked up, everyone was. He has a voice and headship role on the team and used it. Many players and fans do. Play bad, get some words. Coaches do it too. Wake up.

Quarterback won the game for them.

Sorry he sounds like a passive wishy washy, indecisive boy.

No one wants that.

Was SHOCKED they both won world championships this week. It’s literally astounding.

Yup. I wonder what will be next. I'd love to see her team pair her up with a Nascar driver.

Football is basically modern day gladiators. We are paying people an insane amount of money to bash their bodies into each other. Why people are then surprised when a player acts like Kelce during a huge game is beyond me.

I don’t remember, but I can see myself doing that. You’re friends, too, right?! Are you thinking she should reach down and give him a handjob or something? You people are so strange.

The Taylor and Travis haters are taking all of this way too seriously. It is not that serious.

DP but the two options are not pat on the back or handjob. I don't think PP is the strange one.

Though I tend to think the patting was because it's awkward to hug someone wearing full football pads, which is the most obvious explanation for the weirdness of their physical interaction there.
