Decoy Wedding?!

Apologies I haven't gone through any individual topic to see if there are threads.

But with all the shit in the world going on, and true escapism is anyone else thoroughly excited about the "potential" TS/TK nuptials?

I find I'm far too invested! Pathetic to be so interested? Very possibly but I don't care!

Again apologies if there's already something going... If there is can someone share!

Oh ignore me, they’ve had the party now too. It was this outfit/ceremony I was referring to and love!

I didn't love that suit. Looked very Nineties office. And the jacket cuts across the widest part of her. 🙈 Should have had a more curved hemline or be higher/lower.

DimwittedSkater · 04/07/2026 10:52

AND, she wore this to someone else's wedding! I've got Dennis Waterman's voice in my head, going "Classy biiird!" 🤣

Her civil ceremony was lovely - there’s still a big ostentatious party to come though.

Oh, no - her gown was tacky. It was so low at the back that a mm more and you'd have seen her arse-crack!

My ice wedding: Luckily, I have no money! 🤣

I will watch a film of Swift's wedding! I bet they had that arena looking absolutely incredible. Plus, a bunch of famous singers performed.

Yeah I’d watch that too. I bet the music was brilliant.

Exactly @DimwittedSkateri think it was pretty strategically smart. Their options for 1000 guests were severely limited too. And it’s very secure.

It's actually a ton of fun to imagine what kind of wedding you'd have if you had unlimited funds!

I would have a wedding on ice. An ice wonderland, with tables and chairs made of ice. (Don't come at me - there is an Ice Hotel somewhere, so these things are possible!) And I would pay for all the guests to take skating lessons beforehand!

But there would be lots of carpet, too, so people would only have to skate around the wedding and the tables if they wanted to. The carpets would be white and lit up with soft cream lighting. Sigh.

Could they close the airspace? I’ve no idea. But in the event that a helicopter chooses to breach it, what’s gonna happen, the military shoots it down?

SO romantic 🤣🤣🤣

I think this is one reason why they chose such a closed space as MSG.

Mind you, the publicity and the magazine deal will probably pay for a lot of it too. She’s bound to have done a deal with someone I bet!

The dvd will be ready for the Christmas rush!

Happy Independence Day America.

The sky filled with helicopters…so tasteful and relaxing.

Couldn't they have had a no-helicopters rule imposed for the day or something?

This is where i thought she'd marry. I can just imagine the fresh sea breeze, as opposed to the fumes in Manhattan. It has five acres of land, so plenty of room for a marquee! I do wonder if Mr. Meat-head was behind the MSG thing.

Well, not quite. She manipulated fans with the “re-recordings” to tank the value of her masters, purchased the masters back and that rocketed her net worth - a long planned venture.

What?? Swift fulfilled her contract with the record company, and when the record company was done with the masters and had had their share of the profit that they could make, they sold them on. From there, they could be re-sold and re-sold, with any Tom, Dick or Harry who had the money able to buy them and keep profiting from her creative work forever more. Why should just anybody be able to profit from her creative work, after the initial record contract had been fulfilled? Re-recording them all was an absolute master-stroke and taught the industry a lesson about profiting unfairly from artists.

You might ask why she didn't just buy them herself after the record company contract had expired. Well, she tried to, but they offered her bad terms. So the original owners sold them to a private equity firm!! With the stipulation that they continue to profit from them!

Re-recording them all was an absolute master-stroke and taught the industry a much-needed lesson about profiting unfairly from artists. The owners of the masters should have allowed her to buy them on fair terms after the record contract expired. In fact, I'm truly amazed that artists don't have first refusal in a situation like that.

Also, Swift was determined to have control over her own music catalogue, and why the hell shouldn't she??

Absolutely NOTHING to do with manipulating fans. They already owned her music, so the re-recordings were irrelevant to fans.

I don't have to imagine sweetcheeks 😘

Meanwhile, imagine being so parasocially attached to a stranger that you post multiple made-up and mean-spirited things about their wedding. Now you don't have to imagine either (you're welcome)!

Wait, is this confirmed, or is it just more made-up BS for this poster to bitch and moan about? Because honestly, if she has a film crew there and we get to see a special of her wedding, I will be fucking DELIGHTED!😁Where can I watch this masterpiece 👀

I know, it's as if no one in the history of weddings ever hired a videotographer and made people sit around and watch it? 🤣

By the way TS isn't marrying herself. Her husband was presumably involved in the planning and decisions. No one is calling TK out.

So please can people stop pretending like this is all her doing and just her. If you want to call it tacky, go ahead but don't be misogynist and just say that it's just her being tacky.

If anything repeatedly calling just her out on joint decisions screams jealously.

There are 2 people consciously deciding these things.

They did it because they wanted to be the centre of attention.

Taylor Swift has a net worth of $2.1 billion. She could easily have shut down any venue and done it all entirely privately if she wished. Other celebrities have. Instead, she did it very publicly, leaked all the details, and had professional film crews there to produce a “special” of her wedding.

Tacky.
