To think Taylor Swift is a big meanie for not releasing just 1 photo of her in her wedding dress?

Before anyone says "maybe she just wants to keep her entire wedding - including dress - private"...

  1. She's made her whole career about her personal life

  2. Her fans are often young girls who idolise her. (I have 2 nieces age 10 and 12 who are really disappointed they have seen nothing).

  3. Said fans have made her a billionaire and essentially therefore paid for the huge wedding!

  4. It's been over 2 weeks since said wedding so plenty of time for her to have relaxed afterwards and then selected a single sodding photo to release

  5. It's not like she needs to sell the photos for money

I think it's quite mean of her tbh. It would be less bad if she TOLD these young fans either "you will see the dress in my forthcoming documentary" or "I've decided to keep it private". At lease then they would know.

Well she's set up fans for expectation and disappointment by releasing photos of the proposal and then after the wedding just...nothing. That's not fair imho on your average young girl. Life is full of enough disappointments without learning at age 10 that your idol dgaf about you!

It’s probably a good idea for 10 year olds to learn that even a very famous person is entitled to privacy, the same as any other person.

She doesn’t owe anyone a photograph. Unless you’re suggesting she shouldn’t have any privacy at all?

No it’s not mean.

Good on her

So? should she release a sex tape as well? Tell us if she gets piles? She has a right to privacy when she chooses.

Her fans are often young girls who idolise her. (I have 2 nieces age 10 and 12 who are really disappointed they have seen nothing).

They should learn they aren't entitled to see anything from pop stars.

Said fans have made her a billionaire and essentially therefore paid for the huge wedding!

Said fans have not donated to make her rich, they have bought stuff or attended gigs that they enjoyed, and they got what they paid for.

It's been over 2 weeks since said wedding so plenty of time for her to have relaxed
afterwards and then selected a single sodding photo to release.

Photos can take ages to edit, aside from the fact she might want to keep them private.

It's not like she needs to sell the photos for money

She doesn't need to release photos at all.

This parasocial shit with celebrities and influencers is disturbing honestly.

I dont even particularly like Taylor Swift and even I'm feeling claustrophobic at the amount of demands being placed on her a week or two after her wedding.

It will come. Just be patient.

Photography isn't just a point and shoot job I'm afraid.

The photographer will take photos and then has the after-event job of processing them before presenting them to the client.

This processing can take a considerable amount of time.
Of course, a few select prior peek look book images can be given as first glance - but ultimately at the end of the day its T&Ts perogative as to if and when they release that first image to the press & public.
Bottom line @GallopingConsumption - we will all have to wait, we are low on the list of their priorities ...
