Is TH the first non-musician that she's been 'connected' with?

I think his appeal is definitely the 'Bond' esque English gentleman thing, it must seem so exotic to your average American.

Being cynical, it could also be another dig at CH - as in "Oh I have ANOTHER British man, but this one's way posher and classier than you!"

If he didn't have the Bond-buzz about him, she wouldn't have touched him with a barge pole. And once Bond is decided and it's not him (because he's fucked up his image royally with this stunt) I reckon she'll drop him like a shitty stone.

I am now officially over invested in this saga.

No, she briefly dated Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Lautner who are both rumoured to be gay so TH isn't the first actor.

FrayedHem · 02/07/2016 12:35

whentheshipgoesdown a lot of teens will be able to see themselves as TayTay - bullied, awkward- but good on the inside girl, from a not broke family makes it big and along the way does a bit of good (lots of charity/meet and greets/surprise personalised presents to randomly selected yeah swifties). The cats instead of dogs, on the look out for a nice boyfriend, songs that have a manufactured meaning. Not a total walk over as she is capable of bad blood baby!

I read somewhere that the money is now really in the concerts and tours as song-writing £ is down duty to decrease in actual purchases of music. So they need to get bums on seats and TayTay has got that nailed

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 12:36

My DDs are 14 and, 18 and like TayTay, not massive fans but DD1 did buy her last album, and DD2 would put her videos on.
She was definitely cooler to teens when she was with Calvin I would say, DD2 loves him.

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 12:38

Taytay used to be quite active on social media, replying to fans who were being bullied and inviting fans to meet her. That seems to have stopped.

Im still going to the party too. Today Im waering a blue and white starry scarf in preparation.

FrayedHem · 02/07/2016 12:54

I'm still going to the party too although I may get mistaken for one of the bouncy houses. I don't actually like pie so maybe I'll drop a pound -just another 40 to go!

I'm sure the SBoS is goading TayTay- KK being touted as one of Fergie's Mom-Squad.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 02/07/2016 13:01

Afternoon.
my 14 year old can tay-ke her or leave her tbh. She likes 21 Pilots, the Neighbourhood and Marina and the diamonds. She'd watch Taytay if she deigned to tour here and didn't cost €€€€€€€€€ but otherwise likes the occasional song rather than buying albums. That said, that's not unusual for an i-tunes/Spotify/youtube upbringing. Although she was looking at (gasp) vinyl last week!

Katy Perry also has the touring/fanbase contact down to a fine art. (my DD did used to love her a few years back so I ended up watching the documentary. I know.) She has also beaten Taytay to the punch regarding twitter followers (90 million to 78).

in other news Russell Brand has proposed to Kirsty Gallacher's sister who should be giving birth to their first child Oct/Nov time. He allegedly wants a low key wedding/relationship this time around but wanted to do the right thing by Laura. Worst. Proposal. Ever.

Yep, I'm still up for the party too.

Tried some tops on today whilst out shopping. My lovely supportive children were poking my stomach and laughing out loud. I pointed out to them that I wasn't an attraction at the fair. Unsurprisingly I didn't buy anything. My party outfit will have to be a small marquee teamed with gray suede wedges. Maybe I'll be mistaken for a gazebo and will get some gossip if TayTay and a friend pop in for a rest.

Like you Princess I'll probably end up in the kitchen, you wash I'll dry. I should imagine TT has a huge walk in fridge, so may need to hoover up the left overs. Will need to ensure the belt holding my marquee up has an extra notch on it.

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 15:52

I am ready to paaartaaaaay.
I hope Beiber is there

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 15:53

I took DD2 to see Katy Perry a few years ago, she was bloody fantastic Blush

EsmeWeatherwax · 02/07/2016 17:12

If Toto is there I could only imagine it would be like having your dad at a teenaged sleepover, trying to be down with the cool kids, whilst crying on the inside, and wondering what the hell his life had come too.

Freshprincess · 02/07/2016 17:17

Coco - I'm coming with you, I'll just pop to tesco to get my Stars and Stripes onesie! But when we're chilling with the squad in the hamptons, DONT mention KP or We'll be on the first Lear jet home.

nicenewdusters · 02/07/2016 17:22

Esme : that's exactly how ToTo comes across to me in relation to TayTay. It's not that big an age gap but given their backgrounds and personalities he seems so much older. I love the "crying on the inside".

Freshprincess · 02/07/2016 17:29

Esme - that was a week ago at Selena Gomez gig Grin I'm sure he has no clue who she is.

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 17:50

Great! We'll look like twins Esme Smile.
I will be disappointed if lulu toto isnt there.
I thought he might turn up to charm The Squad with his Englishness. Drinking Pimms on the veranda and wearing a straw trilby.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 02/07/2016 18:06

Socks pulled up, boating shoes? Pipe?

It will be like Colin from Love Actually❤️❤️❤️

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 18:34

Absolutely.
Chin chin.

AlfrescoBalconyWanker · 02/07/2016 19:19

Apparently I'm not scared of Tumblr, me Lulu is also publicist for Douglas Booth: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2513884/Taylor-Swift-enjoys-date-Douglas-Booth-London.html THE PLOT THICKENS

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 19:26

Dun Dun DunnnnnnnnnShock

We need Lulu on this thread.

TheAntiBoop · 02/07/2016 19:30

'They allegedly had duck for their main course'

Dm very keen not to be sued there

FrayedHem · 02/07/2016 19:41

Lulu was advertising for a jr publicist in May, I wonder if they've filled the post?

Cocolepew · 02/07/2016 19:46
Whentheshipgoesdown · 02/07/2016 20:45

Frayed I love the fact the DM had absolute certainty about everything other than the duck.

alfresco that is one amazing NN. If I spent more time on tumblr would I understand it? And what's TayTay tumblr like - second by second analysis of accidentally-bumped hands and slowed down shared glances with Karlie?

Whentheshipgoesdown · 02/07/2016 20:46

Oops soz TAB not frayed

Freshprincess · 02/07/2016 21:09

He's so pretty. She certainly bags all the fit ones.
