Maybe she grew up and moved away from drug addicted Peter Pans?

Many people spend their first few relationships picking people with whom they can "solve" whatever made them feel unloved or unsafe growing up. Then as you do the work, you get blindsided by someone different and everything feels better. She doesn't strike me as particularly deep and neither does he. They should live their life however they want, but hopefully they'll do something meaningful with their money and power.


Don't we all have friends who went after the wrong guys? The losers? The jerks? The hot guys who gave them nothing but problems and cheated on them? Eventually they settled down and married normal guys.

Her dad set her up, he knows the coach.


And? A lot of people probably would marry better if they listened to their parents. It's not like her choices were working out for her.

This is worded more harshly than I’d have put it, but it’s basically how I felt until I saw her appearance on the Kelce podcast right before they got engaged. IDK, to me she seemed blissfully happy and head over heels in love. I think another PP had it right. Taylor WANTS to be sees as an edgy cool artsy creative, but at the end of the day what she really wanted all along was for the hunky star footballer to pick her, give her a fat rock, and worship the ground she walks on.


(Np). I came to the same conclusion after seeing her on Jimmy Fallon. She explained that she didn’t want to do the SuperBowl halftime show because she’s too focused on her incredible boyfriend. I think she even said something like, “every Sunday he puts his life on the line”. Girl, what? She called him a “Gladiator.” I think she’s head over heels smitten and when the rose colored glasses come off, she’s going to be embarrassed at how impressed she was by football.


I saw that interview clip and it was so weird. At first I was on board with the sentiment (football is Travis's thing, so she doesn't want to do the halftime show so that she can just support him doing his thing). But when she started talking about him putting his life on the line, I was like.... wut? First of all, he's not "putting his life on the line" unless you literally mean the line of scrimmage or something. Football is entertainment, Travis isn't making some noble sacrifice for anything that matters. And second, her language made it sound like it would somehow be disrespectful for her to care about her career while Travis was working, like his job was just so much more important than hers. Which makes no sense. They are both entertainers, neither job is inherently more important than the other, but Taylor's job definitely employs more people and has way more people relying on her -- there is only one Taylor Swift but there are other NFL-caliber tight ends.

She reminds me of friends/colleagues/classmates of mine who were very rah-rah feminist in their 20s about wanting egalitarian relationships or not even needing a man at all (whatever, I have my squad, amiright) but then got pretty traditionalist when they got married in their 30s. There's nothing wrong with choosing a traditional marriage if that's what you want, but the 180 can be jarring and you realize that a lot of the "feminist ideals" such women spout are just a persona they were trying on, it's not real to them. It definitely is starting to feel like this might be the case for Taylor.


I think people are massively reading into this. My ds played football briefly and it does feel very scary because the risk of injury/concussion is high. I felt glued to the game/worried the entire time and so I understand what she meant. She is an excitable woman who is clearly in love and she tends to speak in grandiose terms at times and people on the internet LOVE to dissect her every word. It's also not a job competition or her putting down her work, she simply does not want to do THAT specific show in case he ends up playing.

Your disinterest in football doesn't matter. It's still a very violent dangerous sport. There is no "wut" about it. It may not be noble but it is his job. Remember Damar Hamlin?


+1 and his football career is coming to an end. So why would she take the spotlight away from him during what is likely his last season.

While there are other NFL caliber tight ends, he has broken every tight end record. He is the #1 TE in stats and super bowl win of all time. She is here to support that, and it would be absolutely insane for her to perform this year, whether or not KC makes it to the SB (which isn't looking likely).

I do like that Pink's response to getting older was to focus on getting stronger and taking up new active hobbies, instead of messing with her face and trying to keep looking 25. I think the key is letting go of certain expectations of feminity (that are heavily tied to youthfulness) and forging your own path.

Kinda agree. Also it’s clear from how she talks about him she knows he’s an idiot. I can’t imagine that cutting it for her long term. She loves drama and he’s a simpleton.


Oh.. they will be divorced (if they even make it to the altar). I would go to Vegas and bet our life savings on it.
Just like most people end up divorced. She’s no different

That is one unwholesome looking group. 🤮


Idk, they look young & fun to me. Not my vibe, but I am also neither young nor cool any more I see a table of diverse, artsy people. The ironic part is that Matty, who has many black friends incl on this photo and a black ex-fiancée, and who is on the left and very politically vocal was labeled racist by her fans, while Taylor’s entire circle is blonde bimbos and MAGAs.



Taylor was never going to fit in with the 1975 and Charli XCX’s crowd of people. Their main fanbases are also wildly different, so this “beef” is going to amount to nothing.
