Sorry, haters!

Oh good, I thought they had a contract relationship but this last week has proven everyone wrong.

Pretty much. This shout out alone pretty much kills all of the noise.

Nah. She thanked him for being fun and her cheerleader. The way she thanks her fans. Not in a “I love you. You are my everything” kind of way.

Sounds more like bestie than future husband. Dating over a year and 'no I love you, you're my everything'? Very sus.

Very sus if she said those things. That was the prelude to the engagement.

The lack of public “I love you” after 18 months of dating at age 34 makes me suspect they are each other’s beards.

Some of us are private with our "I love you"s.

All of that depends on what you think of as toxic. Were TNT really having fun at the US open or was it more of the let’s get drunk so we can enjoy each other’s presence and then we can give the camera some good shots?
I think what is intriguing to people is the attempt to “read the signs’ and predict the future kind of thing.
I dunno, but tabloid like gossip about celebrities is as old as time.

I mean, yeah. They looked like they were having fun. I just don't get where you're coming up with this crap.

I’m not the one ‘coming up with this crap” there are many posters all over questioning their behavior at the US Open.

When I was rushing a sorority, I would behave in a similar manner, party girl with my boyfriend. But I realized it felt hollow to me, like the people who I was around only knew this one little facet of me and wouldn’t appreciate my real reactions. I wasn’t being real with them and so they in turn never got to know the real me who didn’t really enjoy drinking in public or making a spectacle of myself.

I only write this to say I wonder because there is a part of me that wonders how people actually enjoy acting like that. Clearly we have a different point of view on this.

Taylor is clearly in a class by herself and can do whatever she wants and I’m sure she will do it better than I could ever dream to. You will get no argument from me on that. But, if you are so sure they look happy, why does it bother you if someone questions them?

Because it's weird. That's all. You're comparing yourself rushing a sorority to the biggest pop star in the world with cameras on her wherever she goes? That's weird. And every time I see one of these posts, they strike me as trying so hard for someone to be unhappy, despite all evidence that she's herself is putting out there that she's happy. What motivates that, is what I'm asking? Why this need for something to be wrong because it doesn't look like or act like you do, when none of us can fathom what it's like to live in that fishbowl.

You are not explaining yourself very well and keep falling back on “weird”
I don’t care what she does frankly, I’ve been explaining why I see her behavior as maybe not the portrayal of happiness. I think her life sucks and what is weird by definition (ie not typical) is Taylor’s life.
She has flip flopped between “ I’m a shy nerdy girl in the bleachers” to “ I’m a party girl with my squad and boyfriend”. She still plays in both those tropes (see childless cat lady signature on the Kamala endorsement) and she is just doing it to make money,
So yes, I question her “happiness” because she is sending mixed messages about who she claims to be.

You mean her behavior changes as she moves through life and has new and different experiences and she doesn't act exactly the same year after year, and each relationship is different? How utterly mixed messaging can one get?

There is a reason why I chose two events as examples that happened within 24 hours. She is using and playing off both the stereotypes in her cheer captain and sneakers song. You see it as personal growth, I see it as part of her marketing/PR strategy.i don’t see her as wrong or her relationship s wrong, but I do think she is playing with women by using ‘perfect boyfriend/girlfriend’ imagery in her life. She is an instagram reel of sweet valley high grows up. It fascinates me that people eat this up so quickly and that Swifties cling to this so hard.

I think you see this as true happiness and all it is pictures of happiness- like an ad for white women in a relationship rather than the reality and day in day out mess that is life and love.

She has been manipulative about mixing her personal life and fandom from day one- I don’t trust it. Bottom line iWHAT WE SEE feels like an advertisement. Wether or not it is one only they know, but her history with fans so far has always been to use her personal life to make money- why would this be different?

Everything about this relationship screams “I’m not sad you dumped me. Look at me”. Travis is too cheesy and simple for her long term.

I agree with this take. I like Travis. He seems like a good guy who will make a good husband and father one day, but I don't think he's what Taylor wants for the long term. I think she's going to break his heart.

If she does he has millions in new contracts to help him move on!

Yeah, he'll be fine. Just if/when this ends I don't think it's going to be him dumping her.

He's doomed regardless. Taylor left Joe and crapped on him/their relationship on the way out. Her fans still trash him. Any criticism that they and she are holding back about Travis is going to be cataclysmic when these two break up. Doesn't matter who decides it's over.

I don't think she left him. I think he left her. Or it was mutual. They haven't crapped on each other at all?

Joe is by all accounts a very bad person and a worse man. If there ever was a Travis break up it will be smooth. No songs excpet something like Katy Perry's The one that got away.

This is what people getting married looks like people. People on the road to getting married look like these two.

Everything about this is delusional.

There is nothing private about this obnoxious oversharing pap walk relationship. She told people to vote but she can’t tell her alleged boyfriend of a year plus she loves him while accepting an award? Speaks volumes.

It does? What does it say exactly? Encouraging people to vote v. saying I love you. How are those two things connected and the presence of one and absence of another tells you something?

They're soooooooo madly in love, they fly all over the world to see each other, he overshares every cringe detail on his boring podcast, they're drunk and grinding on each other at the U.S. Open....... but she won't say I love you to him while accepting numerous music awards. Mmmmmk.

Travis reminds me of Britney slumming it with Kevin Federline. Sure Travis is a wealthy athlete, but both are stupid, trashy and clearly mooching off the respective pop star.

Odd thing to be caught up on. I encourage people to vote too. Do I not love my spouse because I don’t publicly announce it?

If she did, you’d be on here today complaining about that too. You are a poster who will find fault in everything they do. I don’t normally engage in responses to your always negative type of posts. But I am curious though. Give us an example of what she could have said that would have you on here today saying OK I buy it now.

My god. This is why I look at the new, virtuous, do-gooder, elegant Angelina Jolie and just believe it all has to be an act. I wonder what her children think when watching clips like this.

ITA. I have a ton of respect for her creativity and work ethic and think she's more than earned her fame and accolades. But her public persona and relationship with fans absolutely gives me the ick and holds me back from being just an all out fan. It makes me uncomfortable.
