Shove it haters. They don’t even care that you stereotype them.

Can you explain what this means?

It means they are in on the joke. They’re very emotionally intelligent people.

I guess the English Teacher/gym teacher thing (she's just making a joke about how she's kind of bookish nerd and he's a jock, it's not that deep) but I don't get your comment. What joke are they in on? They strike me as medium emotionally intelligent -- obviously not totally obtuse but also, like a lot of celebrities, probably a bit oblivious and self-centered. Even posting this announcement in this way speaks to being mildly tone deaf. That's like 40k in flowers for a photo.

She is not actually bookish in any way, just tries to posture as a tumblr girl with a big book collection (books which never get cracked). And Travis basically flunked out of a degree mill he’s so damn dumb.

I bet Blake is seething knowing that she’s going to miss the celebrity event of the year.

Haha this is the pettiest comment on the thread.

Correct, only instead of "big swifties" I would have used the phrase "people with parasocial relationships with Taylor Swift." She's a pop star, she's not Malala. You are allowed to criticize her public actions even if her fiancé did a nice thing for her and they are happy to be getting married. You don't even know them, and the only reason you think you do is because they've cultivated your interest in them in order to get your $$$$$.

The person you quoted didn’t say anything about criticizing her or not criticizing her, you sound pretty defensive.

Goodness, you are a miserable creature. I’m sorry that you’ve been hurt so badly in this lifetime.

I’m sorry you people are such brainless sheep you can’t see this entire thing is a scam to push football on female viewers, and more importantly, young Caucasian mothers, so they allow their kids to play what is a dying youth sport.

I do think she would have been bookish had she had a normal childhood and gone to college. I do think she is a kind of poet. I agree that she is not actually well read and I found the theme of TTPD kind of cringe in that way. Like just embrace that you are like an old school poet, not educated, just writing music about your life. Don't pretend you're the equivalent of a college English professor. It's kind of insulting.

Travis is more qualified to teach HS gym than Taylor is qualified to teach HS English, I wish she had a little self awareness about that. She's great, but that doesn't mean being a pop star is the same as actually attending college.

The were criticizing people for failing to understand why we all have to be unequivocally supportive of everything Taylor does.

Imagine being a swiftie and calling other people defensive. The lack of self awareness!

Why does it matter if it were leaked to the public? If it did get leaked, it would be because they told enough people in their personal lives that it got out. Which would mean they prioritized telling friends and family (even though it risks it leaking because someone lets something slip to their cousin or coworker or something) over announcing it to their fans.

I have no idea why it would be important to someone to be the first to tell all the total strangers who worship them online about their engagement. I'd personally just let it leak and never formally announce it, it's not really their business. I wouldn't even let these photos see the light of day, they'd just be for me and to show to my kids someday, not to release on Instagram so that they can show up on TMZ.

You don't actually think that was the real proposal, do you? It's much more likely they had a private engagement and did a photoshoot to announce it.

He'll retire as one of the greatest players to ever play his position and is a mortal lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Which no one outside of football fans cares about, and none of that will occupy his time after he retires. Some players are okay after they retire because they have their families, charity work, sometimes they start businesses or do commentating, and they don't miss being a star. But Kelce loves being a star, you can tell. It's going to be hard for him to segue out of playing.

He wants to be the NFL's version of Dwayne Johnson, that's the career he wants. But I don't think he's well rounded enough.

So what? He’s had his brain scrambled for 25 years and he’s repeatedly shown signs of anger, aggression and poor impulse control. Retired players like him are a ticking time bomb.

Now celeb snark: their announcement is cheesy AF and honestly gives me secondhand embarrassment. It somehow feels like both a knockoff of the way Hailey Steinfeld and Josh Allen announced their engagement last year, but more cringey and embarrassing and like it was photographed at the mall. You are mega-rich celebrities! Can you not do better than this??

Also the cheesiness and style of the engagement announcement indicates that they are planning on being somewhat public about the wedding and associated events, and that's going to bring the hate on. This feels like it's headed in the direction of a Bezos/Sanchez style event that is just an endless parade of conspicuous consumption. I would have respected them so much more if they'd skipped the public engagement and gotten married quietly at one of their numerous existing mansions with family and close friends in attendance. Instead it looks like we are probably lining up for a long series of wedding-related events with pap walks and tons of gossip over the guest lists and lots of needlessly wasteful flights on private jets all over the world and some over-the-top magazine spread breathlessly detailing every feature of their billion dollar wedding with 14 costume changes and every guest taking home Super Bowl tickets and a diamond necklace.

I hope I'm wrong but this feels over the top in an obnoxious way, sorry.

Bezos -Santos desecration of Venice is exactly what I thought of with this comment. Cheesy at the mall is preferable for mega-rich celebrities rather than what that other vile couple did. I hope TS realizes that. She gets enough hate with her jet.

1) She deserves the hate she gets for her jet. Her lifestyle is gross. Just because I like her music and respect her career does not mean I have to endorse the way these people live. That's how the mega-rich candy coat their obscene behavior so the rest of us stay quiet.

2) A lot of people go main character syndrome when they get married, this announcement indicates these two are no different. That's how Sanchez/Bezos spiraled into what it was. I think we are in for a lot of very cringey behavior with this one, sorry. It won't make me feel any differently about her music but we need to be objective about celebrities. If this turns into a multi-month extravaganza with destination everything, I will criticize the crap out of it, I don't care. Billionaires are a policy failure.

Policy failure? 🤦‍♀️

You're just mad you didn't start a virtual book store in your garage.

Stop being so resentful. You will feel better

It's 2025, have you really never heard "billionaires are a policy failure" before? And no, criticizing the disgusting overconsumption by the billionaire class, which does include Swift unfortunately, is not something that can be hand waived away with "you're just jealous."

And I do resent them, but not for having anything I want. I resent them for annihilating the planet that I would like to still be a functional place to live for kid and grandkids via private jets and elaborate parties. You should resent them for this too! You can be in love and get married without being disgusting and over consumptive, someone should let them know.

I'm not the person you quoted, but I get the frustration about private jets and overconsumption. That’s a legit criticism. But I think some of the anger gets misdirected. Celebrities like Taylor Swift are just operating within a system that’s designed to reward them for being as big and marketable as possible. The culture that makes it normal for entertainers to become billionaires (and for industries to profit massively off of them) is what allows this.

Blaming individuals for participating in a machine that society built feels like missing the bigger picture. If we really want change, it’s about addressing the policies, tax codes, and industries that enable this level of wealth and excess, not expecting one person to opt out of a system that would keep running whether they fly private or not.

So to be clear.... Taylor Swift is merely a victim of the Billionaire Industrial Complex? And that's why she has to take a private jet to dinner sometimes?

Honey, no.

No, not a “victim” at all. She benefits from the system, absolutely. My point is just that focusing all the outrage on one person misses the forest for the trees. If she sold every jet tomorrow, nothing would change because the system that creates and rewards that kind of excess would still exist. Critique her choices, sure, but let’s not pretend she’s the root cause; she’s a very visible symptom.

I'm with you, I think these were staged photos to announce the proposal, which is why it's funny that people are saying "OMG he recreated her secret garden for her, he just gets her." Probably she was involved in the set direction for this photo shoot. The announcement says nothing about him setting this up for her.

Young Caucasian mothers need to first go to community college to learn basic mathematics. Let them teach it to their kids, so that AI does not eat up rest of their jobs.

Corn anyone? Who wants to buy American corn?
