Taylor Swift engagement - puzzled

Only in very specific circumstances, as was made abundantly clear in my post.Double yawn. Bye.

I wouldn't sound so blasée. You're the one who married Mr 'Women Are Governed by their Ovaries'.

So no citation. Just anecdotal pseudoscience.

Yawn

Male medical consultants? Yes, well-known to be completely immune to gendered bias and male socialisation.

The Medical Professor in question at UCL being my husband, who was not in the habit of spouting nonsense

Private dinner party discussion circa 2007

Unfortunately, the podcast was EXACTLY him saying that! His friends had just left a party at his house and one of the girls realised she had left a water bottle behind and went back 30 seconds after leaving. Just 30 seconds.

He was already blasting “an extreme porn website that focuses on the humiliation and degradation of women …” It goes on to describe the website in such nauseating detail that this comment would probably get deleted if I typed it out. It is also described as “the most extreme niche porn you can find that is just full of hatred for women” and “The people who make the videos should be in jail”.

Matty literally said he recalled the women in the video being “brutalized” and then “made gagging noises to imitate what was going on on the television”.

You are right when you say all three men on the podcast laughed about it, including Matty.

He is an utterly disgusting man. Taylor was well rid of him.

If jojo Siwawa and Chris Hughes have fallen in love I can believe Taylor has fallen for her fiancé too. I think it was his dad that said they are crazy about each other.

She doesn't need to get married for PR, yet it keeps being trotted out. She's not an up-and-coming artist or one who needs to turn an image around.
Her last album was streamed 300 million times in the first day of release (most ever), sold over 5 million copies in 2024 and broke all records set by... herself, with her previous album. The Eras Tour sold over 10 million tickets.

The announcement of her new album next month already pushed any articles about her ex-friend Blake Lively waaaay down the news pages so I'm fairly sure this isn't a publicity stunt for that!

I think you've kind of answered your own question there. It hasn't worked out with the British,soft arty men,so has fallen for someone a bit different.

Once again for those who can’t read:

Travis Kelce is a registered Democrat.

Thank you for your attention.

Citation?

I could not care less what offends him.

What you wrote sounds like pseudoscience .

@Firefly1987where do you get aggressive from? I mean he’s a football player and all that comes with that.
In the podcast and other interviews with him he comes across as a calm, gentle and funny character.

She dated a lot of frogs before the met him. Yes he’s different but why keep dating the same type of guy when it wasn’t working.
I watched the podcast, and they both seem extremely happy, comfortable and confident around each other. There was lots of mutual respect. I don’t know TK’s political beliefs, but TS came out in support of the demoncrats at the last election. Trump hates TS and frequently makes derogatory statements about her.
they both share the same values. Their families are very important to them.
TS called him a ‘human exclamation mark’ as he is so positive and uplifting.

I wish them all the best!
btw my dh is very very different to my previous boyfriends. Together 20 years and married 17.

I am somewhat underwhelmed by this engagement. TS has had so many public relationships that ended that I will only be interested in this when Hello publish the pictures of her parents walking her up the aisle.

A PP who described him a giant golden retriever is probably closer to the mark than aggressive/arrogant.

This has really made me laugh 😅

Billionaire world famous singer, one of the most recognisable and influential people on the entire planet, and multi millionaire Superbowl winning sports superstar.

Gosh, why would anyone care? Hmmm ….

Off you toddle back to the crossword to show how cool and unaffected you are.

Yes from what I’ve seen they do look genuinely happily in love - the body language is amazing. They would have to be Oscar worthy to fake that all the bloody time for the constant scrutiny they are under.

I’m a peripheral Taylor fan. Love her music but never really known much about her.
However, whenever I see pictures or videos of her with Travis they just look happy and in love. They look like they laugh a lot.

The biggest issue successful women can have when it comes to relationships is men being intimidated by their success. He comes across as supportive and her biggest cheerleader. That can be really refreshing.

My DH is the complete opposite of my first husband ( and previous Ex’s) in both looks and personality. Some my friends thought I’d gone mad.
The fact was he is kind, makes me laugh, he builds me up and supports my career in a way no other man ever has. Twelve years on and we’re still going strong.

I’m not a fan of either but somehow got addictive oh dragged into reading theories on how long they have been hooking up (probs about a decade on and off) and how they’ve been Easter egging each other through their songs. There was also the album leak in the US with Slut! featuring Matty on it which got recalled straight away. Plus the podcast wasn’t him saying that but he laughed along with it which he apologised for. I still think he’s a massive twat but the hate he got was just over the top ridiculous.

He seems like the perfect man for her

I loved Travis in Happy Gilmore 2.
