Taylor Swift - Taylor's Versions (Re-Recordings Official Thread) Album • Page 190

Obviously the minute Taylor and Joe broke up Taylor decided she was going to be a very public figure again and be the biggest person on the planet, which is what it is at this point, but it really has brought an insane amount of coverage on her, like an amount no other celebrity has ever had sans The Beatles and Michael Jackson.

The first game I could understand the media coverage. There’s always at least one mention when a celebrity attends a sporting event, she’s a huge celebrity, and seeing her at a game was all just so new. After that the continuous mentions just got a bit annoying. There are absolutely NFL fans coming at this from like, a misogynistic angle or something which is not right but I do think it has become a bit excessive. So I understand Al Michael’s sentiment even if he was making a joke.

Now this part is just my view and mostly unrelated to the NFL coverage but I do think all the pap walks she has done since the Joe breakup have been less a case of her just existing and living her life and the media responding and more her purposefully courting media attention and wanting to be in the news. 99% of the photos coming out of her (that are her walking outside places) are clearly staged or planned ahead of time and in some cases done for PR reasons like hanging out with Selena the other day after everything that went down with her on Instagram.

The notion that Joe locked her away for six years or whatever is a bit ridiculous (although like I said she did become public pretty immediately after they broke up) but I’d love to have been in the room or in her mind when after the breakup she decided to turn back to the 1989 era where she was so public and also overexposed (at the time).

I used to not understand when people (including people on this website) would say they were tired of hearing about Taylor Swift or that she was inescapable but in the year 2023 I actually see where those people are coming from.

Edit to add: There was a thread about this very topic on the Taylor subreddit with 4.8k upvotes: https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwif...one_kinda_sick_of_hearing_about_taylors_life/ so it does seem like at least a portion of the fanbase agrees to some extent.

 

For the most part when taylor is seen its because she wants to be imo. I think she genuinely likes the pap walks and media attention as long as she's controlling the narrative, and fans who insist she's a private person are kidding themselves. She never has been imo and tends to be more or less private depending on who shes dating or if theres a "scandal." I'm not attaching a judgement to that it just is what it is. Some celebs go thru the pain and effort to be lowkey and hidden which im sure is exhausting in its own way. If I had a bunch of cute outfits and professional hair and makeup and was photogenic I can't say I'd be above a pap walk lol. Nobody will beat Heidi Montag dragging a chair out into the street to cry and pose for paps tho. Iconic.

 

I just honestly couldn't even care less, I like her music and that's it

 

this quote keeps coming to mind about the whole being shown on tv thing.

 

I get that the lives they wanted to live were ultimately incompatible, but it bums me out that she’s so quickly reframed the Joe relationship as “he locked me in a house for six years!” after spending a lot of albums singing about how crucial and heathy it was for her to step back from the spotlight and hole up with seemingly the one guy on the planet who didn’t want said spotlight and wasn’t self-conscious about her being so much more famous than him. Also, 2-3 of those years, we were all locked in our houses!

 

Sometimes you don’t realize how shitty a relationship is until you’re out of it, I’ve certainly been there

 

I just feel bad for her, I think? It’s gotta be a complete mindfuck to have millions of people analyzing your every move in a relationship, thinking it ties back to Easter eggs and song lyrics.

Don’t her stans ever feel weirdly intrusive or exhausted? She’s literally become some peoples entire personalities.

 

not even a tiny, remote, little, teensy weensy bit.

 

tik tok (among doing many other horrible things) has really exposed in a big way how sick taylor swift super-fandom is.

 

Yeah sometimes I think it must be cool to have an infinite amount of money and do whatever you want, but then I think I literally couldn't leave my house and do anything in public without people knowing who I am. That would be exhausting beyond comprehension.

 

The football thing is compounding it even more, which is a whole thing on its own. I’m in no way a fan of her music but she seems super charitable and a decent person.

To hear my uncle last week say his favorite part of last weeks Chiefs game was watching Taylor “look like a clown cheering on her bf as they lost the game” was his favorite part made me feel so weird. Like this is a mid 60s man who has probably never heard a song of hers in his life.

 

Eras movie is a good watch, nice to actually hear her sing Cruel Summer instead of just hear the audience haha

 

Update on the Taylor CO2 emissions issue:

 

Some people adopt a star or farm animal for their bf/gf at Christmas time. Swift buys carbon credits. We are not the same.

 

The annoying part are people being like "do you expect her to fly economy???" Like not necessarily but she doesn't need to fly home for just a few hours between shows. It's unnecessary and wasteful.

 

I don't think she did that? She would fly to the city her shows were in and stay there until all the shows in that city were done, then fly home, right?

 

maybe not her shows but for travis's away games she will literally fly in the morning of the game and leave immediately after

 

My brother and his wife did that last week for the Niners game, flying in the morning of the game from San Diego and going home right after the game. Should I shame him?

 

What difference does it make if she makes her departure flight in the same day? She’s going to fly out at some point…

 

I don't think she does it every night or after every show but the source I read says she often flies home in between shows instead of getting a hotel room in that city or the next city she's playing in like most artists. Assuming the data in the articles are actually correct.

 

I think specifically for the eras tour that isn't true, I've seen far too much of her plane tracker around that time haha

 

On a very shallow note I am usually mixed on her fashion but I covet the dress she wore to her birthday. It's so cuuuute

 

Very cool
