It was prob done for viewership. She didn’t have to meet them right before her show; could've met them another day and time 🤷‍♀️

I don’t see this as particularly heroic. Social workers, counselors, nurses, even teachers do this all the time. They have to deal with a super sad case and then go be happy with the next person. More frequently than just once but several times in a week.

Are the super sad cases due *specifically* to them?

What are you saying here- that the guy killed the girls because he hated Taylor Swift? Even if he did, do you REALLY Think she should take any level of responsibility for that? At all? I mean it was a good idea to meet with the parents/families, but no, the guy wasn’t killing in Taylor’s behalf or because of her in anyway. The event he chose to attack just happened to be a Taylor one becuase she is everywhere.

The guy had also had ricin and an al_Qaeda training manual.

Rudakubana, of Banks, a village in west Lancashire, also admitted producing the biological toxin ricin and a charge under the Terrorism Act related to possessing an al-Qaeda training manual.

In trying to defend Taylor/your stance, you are making erroneous connections between Taylor, her level of responsibility and this teen who was clearly looking to be a terrorist. Taylor had nothing to do with that. Your Taylor allegiance is blinding you.

Different poster but I interpreted this whole exchange differently. The first poster was saying yes social workers and other caregivers have to go through this all the time but it must’ve hit Taylor especially hard because the children targeted were there celebrating her art so it hits specifically close to home.

I don’t think anyone is implying Taylor had anything to do with this. But come on, if you had an art exhibit or something and a bunch of people came to celebrate you and your work and be together in solidarity for how your work makes them feel and a terrorist attack happened I’m sure it would affect you differently than just hearing about a random terror attack on the news, right?

I honestly can't believe that even needed to be explained to the PP.

Aw. Poor you having to believe that needed to be explained to me. I definitely saw the PP as saying it was all about Taylor and she had to talk to the families because it was about Taylor and social workers have a different level of responsibility because they are not responsible and the events weren’t about them. I think that is bull crap. There are thousands of Taylor themed events because she has sought fame. To have to hear and grieve with a few groups of people once and then turn around and sing and be happy is minuscule compared to the day in and day out work social workers and counselors do.
I’m not saying Taylor didn’t do the right thing. I’m saying lauding Taylor as some kind of amazing person for doing that is ridiculous. Regular people do this and more all the time day in and day out.

JFC. Give it a rest.

watched this doco with DD and its so good! would have loved to see the Eros tour in person

I have all the respect for what those people do, but it's really not the same as having to go from meeting with victims to doing a 3.5 hour energetic show where thousands of people have cameras on you and are expecting you to be super positive because they've saved their money for this one night. The teacher is the closest because eyes are on them but they are not always expected to do a happy clappy show. I'm a lawyer who's dealt with child abuse case and then gone into other meetings, and it's just not the same as having to perform like that.

Uh yeah as a teacher you have to go do the clappy happy show and yes 3 hours before you go home from your lunch break sounds just about right.. Do you really think you call CPS about the kid who has burns all over his body and then go back to the Kindergartener’s and don’t dance and sing? Of course you do, that is your job.
SHe had a stadiums worth of people cheering to help her forget, many people go clubbing/dancing to “blow off steam”
It is the same thing from an emotional perspective.

According to her, her money is made by showing her fans that all people “even billionaires” feel the same emotions and the same way. She writes songs about that you can relate to.
In your response, you are showing that isn’t true. Because for fans like you and most of her fans, her money is actually made by getting you to buy into the fact that she is Supra human and an idol. IF you believed she was a regular person with regular emotions, you would see that this wasn’t a super amazing event. People overcome this stuff all the time to make the world work.

WTAF. Obviously, Taylor Swift *personally* had nothing to do with the actions of this terrorist. But the fact is, it was a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, so the girls who were there were fans of her and her music. Of course she feels terrible!! And of course she holds no actual responsibility for this madman's actions, but it's totally normal and natural for her to feel the need to speak with the parents.

It's like when the Islamic terrorist detonated a suicide bomb at an Ariana Grande concert, killing 22 people. Was it Ariana Grande's fault? Absolutely not!! But she was shaken and traumatized nonetheless and on a certain level, felt guilt about it. DUH. I can't even believe this has to be explained to you.

I'm wondering how utterly cold and heartless you would have to be to shrug your shoulders if kids are killed while dancing to music YOU made. "Oh well! Not my fault!"

I’m surprised by the scenes she kept in this PR movie. It’s like someone tried to make her look self-centered.

She could have done a 2:15 tour and earned the same amount of money- the doc shows how much work this show is. Dancers say she lets them be themselves and have opportunities they wouldn’t have elsewhere. She pays her staff what they’re worth and has had many on her payroll for decades. Whether or not you like her music that’s all pretty admirable.

You realize most top notch artists do the same thing, right?

I really sometimes think some of you hardcore Swifties have never closely followed a top-tier musical act before, so you see things like keeping people on payroll for decades or paying out bonuses and act like that’s unique.

She is unique. No celebrity in the world probably does more with her platform than Taylor. He makes her feel special and I’m all for it. Taylor doesn’t need a marketing relationship.

He just said he wanted to win the lottery and that would make him stop playing football. And you think he is making Taylor feel special out of love for her? Ok.

Wow. He was saying it tongue in cheek. What’s wrong with you? This isn’t a Kevin federrline thing where the guy has no money. Travis is a millionaire many times over. He’s going to stop playing football this year or next, regardless of anything else. Unbelievable.
Nobody moves in with someone just to fake it for years when they are already rich.

What’s wrong with me? Clearly an infectious illness that many many others have caught:

“No, the only time it ever crossed my mind was I was driving in the other day and I saw how much the Powerball was,” Kelce stated. “And I was like, ‘Man! If I could just win that. I wouldn’t have to work another day of my life.'”

Even though Kelce’s comment was clearly said in jest, fans on social media had some strong reactions to his mention of the Powerball jackpot, which was up to $1.8 billion at the time of the Dec. 24 drawing on Wednesday. (A single ticket sold in Arkansas ended up winning the jackpot.)

Plenty of users couldn’t help but point out that Kelce is already set to marry music superstar Taylor Swift, who reached billionaire status in 2023.

“He’s marrying his golden ticket lol” one user quipped on X (formerly Twitter) after watching the pre-game press conference.
Another user echoed, “I believe he may be marrying his power ball ticket!!”
“He’s so silly,” someone else wrote about the tight end, who already has an estimated net worth of $90 million in 2025.
“Saying that like his fiancée isnt a billionaire,” someone else pointed out.

And this is in a Grandma “magazine”
