The part of her Jimmy Fallon interview concerning the Super Bowl has stuck with me. It had been reported that she pulled out of the Super Bowl because NFL would not let her own the footage of the performance. That's all neither here nor there to me, but it was obvious that Fallon was giving her a chance to spin that story.

https://youtu.be/9qDW_ZKpvxI?t=1102

Then she goes into the self-negging "I couldn't be thinking about choreo while my gladiator man is down there wrestling lions. I'm too locked in on him." She used to ascribe a lot of that energy to herself. Drama queens taking swings, being in the arena herself so to speak. It was a way her lyrics expressed empowerment. It's so weird to watch her denigrate her own craft, saying it's silly girl shit essentially, and be praised for it by Fallon and the audience. Fallon is even imitating what he imagines Kelce would be saying, "let me have this one thing" re: football, and she looks so comfortably ensconced in this patriarchal dismissal of her own career.

The year that Travis Kelce was drafted, 2013, she ran the Red Tour which earned $150 million. The Super Bowl would 100% be a performance on her horizon as a rising, ambitious-for-world-takeover popstar. She even mentions in the interview, circling back to talk with Jay-Z about a potential performance year-over-year. It's absurd and sad to me that she is suddenly acting like his career is in any way more "legit" than hers.

Worst in all of this for me is "Wood." I'm a writer, like an actual poet who studied and practiced it for many years before calling myself that, and I /know/ the appeal of writing something that glorifies your dude for the public. It's a private joke that has real world impact. If the writing is successful, its readers' perceptions of your dude are adjusted. There's a lot of power to that. What makes me sad is that, in the end, what Travis Kelce has gained in the transaction is so much greater than what she has. No matter what happens regarding their relationship, for the rest of his life, Travis Kelce will be able to brag to other men that the biggest songwriter America's ever seen dedicated a song to his illiterate penis. To me it is a humiliation of her pen. The appeal to other men for Kelce in this song is that it represents "The Greatest"(tm) lowering itself immeasurably to glorify his dingus. Does that make sense, or is this my own internalized misogyny?

Frankly, I don't have much love for Taylor Swift. I am an OG KatyCat lmao and I've seen a lot I don't like about her. I do love some of her songs, like Reputation does everything I need it to. But I respect her as a pop artist, a songwriter, and a woman who built an empire for herself in a male-dominated industry. Why would she lower herself so far for this man? It feels to me like she feels like she's finally gotten everything, and she's gotten the type of guy she wrote about from the beginning, and now she's so scared of losing him that she'll humiliate herself to make him stay. It's troubling.

I think she's just been hanging out with dudes and she understands the fun in a fart/dick/nuts joke and the song is hilarious. It's a dick joke song.

You are way to serious Ms. "Poet" ... go to a bar and drink some beers with some dudes and lighten up.

Also, I doubt you've watch one whole football game or could name a tight end besides Travis or even tell me what the job of tight end is.

I can admit that proudly.

Its not age its the face augmentation, which makes me sad because she's too young for it - woman are peak beauty 30-45. But the plastic surgery isn't about ant-aging yet (it will be within the decade) it is about changing her look for whatever reason - her face is a mask with all the fillers, the eyes more cat like. This is why she was behind the screen at the superbowl - she'd just had work done.

DP. Just stop. She hasn’t had any fillers and you know it.

Oh my. She’s in love with him. Stop already. You guys are too much

I don’t think she is. She loves adoration and being the center of attention, and Travis provides that. But he cannot possibly stimulate and challenge Taylor. Travis = TS settling. That’s the gist of the song Opalite and man-made gems.

She will surround herself with people from his circle who don’t make her feel insecure about her lowering her standards, because jocks and Midwestern trad wives think he is the sh&t. But Taylor knows it would be embarrassing to bring Travis to the Grammys for example, and he would never be respected in her artistic circles.

She has always tried to surround herself with edgy art scene creatives and Euros and tries to masquerade as this creative erudite poet. To pretend she's content with some idiot American football jock and his flyover prole family is laughable. That's why every time she's with him, his family, and/or his social circle she's got booze in her hand. She's miserable af.

Oh that “boring” moniker smarts like a MFer. Taylor singing about on Matty “The smallest man who ever lived”:

“You said normal girls were boring, but you were gone by the morning”

Then it dawns on Taylor that he and his friends like Charli, George were actually talking about her:

“I hear you call me Boring Barbie when the cokes got you brave” - Actually Romantic

Then Charli sets up Matt with her BFF Gabriette the second Taylor is ghosted.

This Matty rejection on the heals of Joe refusing to marry her. Taylor’s humiliated and pissed so she goes for the first desperate climber guy who gives her public adoration even though she’s not into him and she knows secretly she’s not his type either but he’s running cover for her humiliation.

And that’s how we got this fake ass album. It’s straight PR for TTPD and to shove it in Matty’s face after so publicly pining for him when he thinks she is a joke. That’s why this album came out so fast and why it’s so rushed and awful.

It's true that as one PP said, he was her type all along and she was pretending to be into the edgy intellectual types, but she could have gone for someone like Travis from the beginning.

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

The doofus who shotgunned beers last summer on stage at his bachelor's degree ceremony and was kicked off his college team for drugs is so mature.

Work hard, play hard. Do you have comments about his job performance?

I’ll play! Yes I do have comments about his “workplace.” His out of control behavior broke a colleagues collar bone. He also yelled at his boss and pushed him. Those things are deal breakers in most work places.

Out of control behavior? You are lost. He missed a block. It happens

Why WOULDN”T you write that up in “job performance complaints?”

Because the guys who aren’t starters miss even more blocks and make even more mistakes. That’s the game.

Right….. he “risks his life every game” but only if he is playing against a fool like himself.

But to your point- this doesn’t happen that often. It got press because it was an abnormal mistake. Most star running backs don’t take out their own players. He did and so it got press. Why normalize it? It isn’t an every game or every day thing. He messed up. Have you played sports? This will stick in his coaches head as a mistake because it was one. And he needs to get his head back in the game and keep this from happening. This kind of mistake is the difference between world champion chiefs and all the other teams.

You called him a running back and want us to take you seriously? Find a new hobby.

Bizarre how Swifties are more oppressive than MAGA.

Bizarre how people who can't stand her follow her every move and have even moved on to trying (and failing miserably) to discuss football, a sport they know even less about than pop music. Why don't you spend as much time discussing the things that actually do interest you and you have at least a passing knowledge about? The rest of this is embarrassing for you.

Your leader says every time we say her name or the name of her album that we are helping. So, why does it bother you if she herself says the dissent and dislike--when expressed out loud--still help her?

Every time I say how much I no longer like her music, I'm helping her! According to her and her puffy face anyway.

If you're even in D.C., the most over-educated city in America, who do you know under age 45 who literally never went to college? If you're a white collar professional who grew up even somewhat privileged in the 80s and 90s, you don't know or even associate with anyone who doesn't have at least a bachelor's degree. Swift is a public school lifer who has never taken one college course -- and it shows in her shallow as a soda cap music.

What makes her intelligent? Money? Come on. I've never heard her discuss how well read she is. Because she is not an intellectual, she's a very online pseud imbecile who POSTURES as some sort of intellectual poet. Her songs on this album are so juvenile, it's as if a teenager wrote this babble. There's no there there because she's simply not very bright. She is like a 36 year old rube who won the lottery.

She and the football schmendrick are a match intellectually. They will be happy together. Ignorance is bliss.

Dp not that I disagree with what you wrote. But it's almost as if you're just now discovering all that you worry about her now .

One can hope an artist will evolve and mature over time, especially one who tries to force this tortured poet intellectual vibe. She hasn't. 36 is just way too old to still be this stunted and tumblr-brained and that's why this album is such an embarrassing flop.

I enjoyed her music--Red, Folklore, Reputation are ones I liked a lot--but I can't help but see some traits of narcissism in her and her work. She doesn't seem to keep friends for long. The friends she claims to have are primarily able bodied, straight, blonde, rich people.

In her lyrics, she says she likes her friends wrapped in Gucci and says something about Balenciaga but calls the brand "Balenci'" She wears $10,000 worth of clothes to a football game. I can't relate to this person at all.

She's also recycled lyrics from earlier albums, which shows a serious amount of laziness on her part...

"I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night and now I see daylight..." -- from Daylight
"Sleepless in the onyx night but the sky is opalite." -- Opalite


The voices notes are HORRIBLE. She can't seem to carry a tune. At the end of one of them, you can hear her producers trying to get a word in edgewise but she shuts them down. In that voice note, she is not taking criticism or input...

After word got out that her album is racist, she had herself papped with a black comedian. Before that, she'd not been photographed with a black person (beyond Kelce's teammate who is married to a MAGA lady).

I think she is in for a sad and lonely life as another pop star mentioned in a song about her friendship with Taylor dissolving. Gracie Abrams, maybe.

The 29 variations of this lame album beating out Adele is crass. TS had to all that to beat out a good album. If you read the letter that her dad wrote in 2005, you can see all of the machinations, and it's pretty nuts.

Hopefully, this album will open a lot of eyes and she will eventually fade away as most pop stars do.

Opalite has nothing to do with race? Do you think she would share with Jimmy on national TV that it had to do with race, if it did? When was the last time a racist said, "Hey I am racist!" No, they all deny it.
