Decoy Wedding?!

''I've never heard of The Beatles.
Jeff McCartney? Keith Lennon? I shall have to download the internet app and find out about them.''
Never heard of Taylor Swift...pull the other one...

Yes. And I am literally going to burst at the seams if I don't see that dress soon. Which would make me die. Literally.

Do you know what "literally" means?

It’s a line from her song The Man.

It’s about how if a man had her success he’d be praised.

“Cos if I was a man
then I’d be the The Man”

If I don't see that wedding dress soon, I think I'm literally going to die. 🤣

What does that mean?

Better to be invested in a talented singer-songwriter's wedding than many other interests in people such as those on Love Island or some other reality show.

Whether it is a decoy or the real thing, I hope they have a long happy life together.

And the calling her talentless, will never understand why she's successful, etc. I always come back with, "You DO know she had an after-school job writing songs for Sony at age 14, don't you?"

She is, quite simply, the best singer-songwriter of her generation.

I don't think Travis is a good match for her, though. I have no idea what she sees in him. A year or two ago, he was caught on camera physically shoving his coach, face red and distorted in anger, forehead vein popping. Nice. He drinks too much, he carried on partying after there was a shooting after one of his games that injured 22 people, and misogynistic, fat-shaming, tweets of his have been unearthed - full of misspellings - plus his lovely opinion that if sex didn't happen by the third date, it was a dealbreaker. 🤮 He wanted no strings attached with Swift at first. Just wanted to use her for sex, in other words. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, HE'S NOT EVEN GOOD-LOOKING!!!

Taylor is way too good for him. She had wanted marriage and kids for a long time, and I think he was a mid-thirties panic buy. Of course she still had lots of time, but if you want to be married with kids and you're single in your mid-thirties, I can see how someone might be worried.

All this is to say, I don't think he is in ANY way good enough for her.

Only on MN would someone claim to not know who Taylor Swift is!
I'm not a huge fan of her music but I think she's a fantastic role model. I hope they have many years of happiness together.
I'm looking forward to seeing the dress/es as well.

Supposedly the streets were blocked for seven blocks around MSG. That is really disruptive in such a populated city.

I’m in a couple of minds about this. If it is a decoy wedding, taking over such a large chunk of Manhattan seems a bit inconsiderate. But on the other hand, they have spent a lot of money and it’s getting plugged into the local economy.

I was also confused to why there in such a central location. Celebration weddings are often hidden away somewhere. I’m presuming this is the party and they are already married.

Exactly 🤣

Yep. The desperation to have a go at her or do the painful 'never heard of her' is embarrassing.

I just think she is a young, insanely successful women who gets so much shit thrown at her which seems unfair given that I've never seen anyone who has dealt with her say anything nasty.

Of course, she could be firing all sorts of NDAs and legal threats around behind the scenes to hide how horrible she is. Unless we know her personally, we haven't got a clue.

But there is a huge amount of misogyny and jealously that follows her around. She's called it out in quite a few songs.

I wouldn't say I'm a Swifty but I like quite a few of her songs and will sing along when I hear them.

As a parent, I actually would like that. She’s taught a phonics lesson, on something the children she’s teaching will find fun and relevant to their interests, particularly little girls. I would imagine most parents would, being that the majority are not fun sponges and find misery in every little thing.

OP, I don’t like TS particularly, her music isn’t my bag, but I’ll enjoy a look at her dress and guest outfits!

And they've donated to local causes.

No doubt they tipped generously too.

That’s interesting.
I find her music grating and don’t understand how she’s made her billions but equally admire the fact she has.

I don’t follow the news about her but from threads on here, I had thought everyone assumed she was gay. Is that no longer the case?

I have a habit of drunk posting (I know), but thank you for the explanation. I will Google the names and discover who they are.

Why do you think that because you don't understand what she's talking about, she is drunk?

It's fair enough not knowing what she's talking about but just say that and ask for an explanation if you want one. Or scroll on if you don't.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey is getting/has got married at Maddison Square Gardens in New York.

I read OP’s first comment and have not a clue what it is about. Drunk posting possibly?

The amount of grief TS is getting over this is mad. Not TS and TK. Just TS.

A feminist Facebook page is really laying into her over this. They do have some good points eg the disruption but I am very displeased to see they were aiming it all at TS as if TK has nothing to do with it.

Anyway, I think she is a great roll model. When I saw her in Liverpool, everyone getting off the coaches were so pleasant and considerate. Hundreds of people walking down a street trying to be quiet because it was late and people were sleeping. Then there were 2 groups of drunk men being absolutely obnoxious.

When I was little I remember drawing my own version of what I thought Sarah Ferguson’s dress would look like in school, so we must have had lessons based around that wedding. Horrific, given what we know about those people now.
It’s bread and circuses to keep us all distracted from the real issues, and the younger we start, the better we can be brainwashed.
Celebrity is the new religion, hence it’s best to start indoctrination as young as possible.

Wow that's bitter.

She sounds like a great teacher.

She'd be like Leo in St Tropez! 🤣

Ahh ok thanks
