Decoy Wedding?!

All completely true. It amazes me what men can get away with and still be respected and offered work and how little women have to do to be condemned.

I wouldn’t call it a decoy. I’d call it the ‘public’ version (by which I mean the massive celebration with all their celebrity guests) of a small and private marriage ceremony that’s already taken place.

I read that there’s no application for a marriage license in MSG filed on this date, so whatever they’re doing inside it isn’t the official stuff.

Agree with PP that MSG was ideal to avoid the drones, helicopters etc. And NYC can deal with the disruption caused by an influx of paparazzi and required security in a way that a small rural town near a ranch could not.

Personally I’m more interested in her music than her life (but I’ve said on the LOAS thread that I did not need a song about his dick). I am interested in her frock!

She invited Greg James when she went on his show last and I’ve checked his Insta and he’s only blooming there 🤣 I love this !!

I'm watching the press hoping for a massive photo dump soon.
Love a wedding

Just heard they've married at Maddison Gardens

As a parent, if my child came out of school with a phonics rule firmly embedded as a result of this lesson, yes I would love it.

There are road closures and disruptions in loads of places all the time though - for football, races, processions, gigs, etc. It’s just part of life in general nowadays. Irritating but not a big deal. I live in a relatively small town and there’s some roads closed for something a few times a year.

Yes, It’s an American kind royalty.

I think for some people, it’s a welcome distraction from all the awful crap that’s going on in the world. It’s a happy occasion and a large spectacle. It’s just fun. It’s harmless. I’m not deep into it, but let’s let people enjoy a bit of glamour.

Taylor's not inane. She's so talented that she had an after-school job writing songs for Sony at the age of fourteen. She has written most of her songs herself. And she got a record deal while at school, meaning a lot of work writing songs for that, and still graduated from high school with the perfect grades. Her songwriting is complex and there are university courses devoted to it. She's a musical genius. She's the very opposite of inane.

She also seems to be a lovely person. People who knew her at high school have said there's not a mean bone in her body and that she hung out with everyone at school, not being cliquey at all. And she turned off the surge pricing for her concerts, when she could have left it on and made lots more money. And she donates countless millions to charity.

Not inane at all. No way would a man with her exact talents and record and personality be as roundly insulted as she is. A man with a body of work like hers would be hailed as a genius, But because she's a woman, people don't say that about her, but just insult her instead.

What’s good idea! Bet they’ve never been so engaged!

Much of me agrees, but this circus has given a lot of work to many companies and individuals. People working the actual events are also probably on double or triple time for working over the Fourth weekend.

It seemed like a waste to me as well, but then someone pointed out to me that it's given a lot of work to a lot of people.

I’m not really a TS fan myself, but as a retired teacher I think this is a fun idea for a lesson. 😊

Those roads are closed often for various reasons. They were closed the day this closure was announced.

People just love to complain about her.

Yes this! Also, for 2 celebs getting married aged 36 and neither of them married before? Quite rare! Scarlet Jo was on husband #3 at that age and you never hear anyone criticise her for it (as it should be).

New Yorkers are pissed off because the security and closures have been insane and caused a lot of disruption. A more rural location would not have had this impact 🤷‍♀️

So what?

Good luck to them.

I am 36 like Taylor and also getting married this year. I love how she normalised having a series of disastrous relationships / bad dating choices before finding your person in your mid-30s. Us adventurous millennial women feel seen 🥲💜

Your deluded, it's one big photo opportunity and multi million dollar picture deal that is what it is all about.

I think, for possibly the first time ever, she's done exactly what she and her now husband want to do and decided that for this one event all the critics can go and f**k themselves. And good for them. Whether anyone else would have chosen MSG, whether shutting down roads was selfish, whether Adam Sandler was a tasteful officiant are all questions they don't have to answer.

And all the comments I've seen today predicting their divorce says more about the commenters than them.

I wish them a lifetime of happiness and a whole block looking like them.

JUST&T MARRIED!

I know who they are, but I’m not exactly sure which sport he plays. And I can’t name any swift songs but maybe I would recognise them if you hum one?

Maybe they’re the US version of the royal family?

🤣

Also a fine thing.

Me, too, @NoCommentingFromNowOn, but I guess it's just life for them?

Reuters suggests this is their THIRD wedding, having had a private legal marriage elsewhere and then a reception for 100 at MSG.

The unhinged part of these type of threads is that people talk about them like they know them
