Travis and Taylor

[Anonymous]

She’s got a billion dollar tour to finish. She’s not getting pregnant.

Exactly.

She is driven to succeed and highly career focused now. This level of fame won’t last forever, and she seems to be enjoying the fruits of her labor of the past 20 years.

If she becomes a parent, I suspect she will be all in on that. And I think she will keep writing songs because she is amazing that way.

Exactly. Her song, "The Man" describes this double-standard perfectly.

Meh. I don’t agree. She features her parents in her movies and they attend another shows and are recorded by video as they do so.

What male singers have dads giving away guitar picks at their shows or have their mom invite people backstage to see the star or talk about how their parents helped them?

The parents have been made part of the story by Taylor. I don’t know of any male stars who have done the same to the extent Taylor has.

She’s very close to her parents. How refreshing.

It’s not sexism that has people focusing on her parents. It’s the story TS tells.

She highlights her parents, and she highlights being a songwriter, a poet, and a storyteller. From a PR perspective, she is getting the message across that she wants to get across.

Notice how she doesn’t talk constantly about her brother. My guess is he wants a quieter life and so TS doesn’t bring him up all the time.

It's really not that hard to use birth control....

Mid 30s in a committed year plus long relationship and on birth control is very odd.

What backwards ass life are you putting on other people? That’s not odd at all if you current don’t want children. Weirdo.

+1 it’s the opposite of odd; it’s overwhelming common and normal.

WTAF? It’s only odd if you see nothing wrong with “oooops I got knocked up by my boyfriend!” They are responsible adults. Good for them.

Wtf???? Since when is an “oops” baby normal?

Whether 25 or 35 babies should be planned and wanted.

Her brother is an employee. He attended Chiefs games with her. I think you notice what you want to see.

It’s amazing that a stage parent can really develop a passion for play or performance in their kids. Venus and Serena had to like tennis. They could not have faked liking it and done that well.

Venus and Serena had to enjoy tennis and have natural talent. Taylor has to like music and be a talented songwriter. Without the right interests and natural gifts, none of them become successful. It’s no different than the average DCUM parent choreographing their child’s life in hopes they go to the best college.

The main point is not about Austin, and maybe you are right that he is mentioned frequently. I've not seen her talking about him as much as she talks about her mom, but maybe she does.

The point is that she talks about what she wants people to focus on--and that is primarily that she writes her own songs and that she's a poet. Those talking points are woven through her movies, her socials, what Tree puts into the press, etc.

PS: I'm aware Austin dressed as Santa at a Chiefs game and attended other Chiefs games with his sister and others. Those examples from the past year or so. Long term, she's has consistently mentioned specific ideas and stories that she wants to have as part of her legacy.

You know "several" college-educated kids that became pregnant while in a 12-16 month relationship and assume that's typical? Do you not know anyone, much less "college-educated", people that were in 12-16 month relationships and didn't get pregnant? How long was it from the time you started dating your husband until you were pregnant? How many months between pregnancies?

Shotgun weddings are certainly still a thing. One of the pregnant young women we know is in medical school. But it's exponentially easier for an oops pregnancy to happen in your mid 20s than in your mid 30s.

All of which is irrelevant to Taylor Swift. Why are you continuing to try to make this a thing? It's not.
