Some one said Taylor’s parents go to all the concerts just to be supportive. Doing anything over and over again takes away the “OMG! It is TAYLOR.” Aspect of anything and brings out ennui. This is their KID, they aren’t going to enjoy the show, that would be boring after the 78th time. The Swifts go and get traveling, hotels, and private jets as part of the corporation. THAT is what the parents are going for, not to be “supportive” and rewatch their dear daughters recital. They are getting a whole lot more than being supportive out of the relationship. And yeah, if my kid were Taylor, I would be concerned that the perfectionist in her is winning because she is taking zero risks in her concerts and not taking risks isn’t a good thing. |
You make it seem like Taylor’s parents are leeches. Maybe Taylor wants to take care of her parents and let them live a lavish lifestyle. They had a lot to do with her success. Do you fault the Kelce brothers for having their mom in private suites for games? Beyoncé for lavishing her mom with gifts and trips? Some people like to take care of their parents. I would if I had 800 million dollars. |
You have lost sight of the fact that they are just people. And people have different wants and needs. A poster said she wouldn’t want to go to her partners concerts and people jumped on her. What happened to supporting ALL women- even women who want to Netflix and chill? |
+1 TS parents were financially comfortable even before their daughter became a megastar. Her dad moved the family to Nashville solely to help her career. This is not a Jamie Spears type of situation. |
I imagine the concerts are different experiences for her parents, in that each town they probably visit with different people. Aunt Larla lives in NJ so we'll see her backstage at this show. Bestie from childhood moved to this town so we'll see her there. I'm sure it's fun, and like another PP said, traveling in private jets and staying in luxury accomodations probably make it more fun. |
Dave Grohl's mom retired and now tours with Foo Fighters full time. Lana Del Ray's dad is at most of her concerts. It's more common than you think. |
But isn’t ok to NOT want to do that? Does that really mean you “support” The person less? Like do we all need a spouse cheering us when we show a slide deck? That is ridiculous right? but based upon the last 2 pages it seems like the consensus is watching people work is required to “support” them. Why? We expect people to travel all the time for work- the only difference here is fame. |
| I really don’t see how this is any different from how many of us on this board spend weekend after weekend standing on the sidelines of a field over and over again. |
| It’s more than just supporting people. It’s time. They’re in the beginning of their relationship so they want to spend time together. If your partner’s job requires that level of travel, why not go if you can? If you can’t that’s fine too, but these guys are communicating that they want to actually spend time together. What’s the big deal? |
Well apparently that was a horrible argument to a poster. For me I don’t mind that because it isn’t a groundhog game- the out come is different each time. A set concert where you do the same thing every time I would get NOTHING out of. It is more like going to the same play every week for over a year. I would do it for the extras (seeing a new place) but not for the concert. It is kind of insane to repeat the same thing every time. I’d rather be at home. But that thought has been branded as awful. |
Also keeps the groupies away. |
| This is the dumbest argument I've seen on here in a while and that's saying something. |
Dave's mom died. |
| I don't get the popularity of either of them. |
you dont get that he won two superbowls? Or that he's averaging 99 yards a game as a tight end? |
