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

[GallopingConsumption]

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.

What a bizarre misunderstanding of my post

Lol, nobody dreams of getting married at Madison Square Garden. She chose it because it could be locked down, controlled, and kept almost completely out of public view. And let’s not pretend the guest list was some tiny circle of lifelong intimates when she barely had relationships beyond casual acquaintance with a huge number of them. She had every right to do it that way, obviously, but people are also allowed to say it looked less like a personal wedding and more like a heavily secured corporate summit.

Entitled to others private life even tho they are famous...No!

I'm pleased to see you mentioned your age OP, I was beginning to think - from your language (who says "meanie"??) and use of capitals - that you were only a couple of years older than your nieces.

She owes your nieces nothing, and maybe it's time they learned that being a fan of someone doesn't mean you can have access to every aspect of their lives. She may release photos, she may not, but it is her decision and nothing to do with you.

What definition of “hiding out” are you using here? Are all celebrities not currently being photographed also hiding out right now?
If she wasn’t “hiding out” would she be “parading herself”?

Why so bitter?

Agree. They should use it as a teachable moment- that they don't know celebrities, and that strangers don't owe them anything.

I find it really hard to imagine that any child is genuinely upset about this, especially now when the wedding is long gone.

Or just photoshop TS and Travis’s heads onto Posh and Becks sitting on their wedding thrones, if your nieces are really having their young lives ruined by this’?

Or anyone other than the OP

Mini blondes loves TS but def isn’t devastated hasn’t seen her wedding dress and is 9!

100%

Imagine having to know everything about the private life of someone you don’t know,

it’s weird AF

Wow.

simping for your favourite billionaire (and her PR team). good for you.

Why ‘Wow’?

Taylor Swift said publicly before the wedding that she was inviting everyone she’d ever said ‘Hello’ to. It very obviously wasn’t a ‘close friends and family’ job.

Are you a ten years old? Because you certainly sound like one.

I was that age when the 90s pop star I was meant to be marrying went and got himself a girlfriend. Which I realised meant he wasn't going to remain single until I grew up, meet me, marry me and we'd have babies. And yet somehow I managed to survive and get on in life unscathed.

It’ll come. TS isn’t the shy type

On the contrary - this is a really low-risk way for them to learn about disappointment , boundaries etc.

As a young girl I was smitten by big dresses princesses and wedding etc. I could have done with being a bit more smitten with my own life and giving less of a shit what other people think and want from me and more effort listening to what I wanted tbh.

Congrats, your 9 year old has more maturity and common sense than this supposed grown adult OP!

If this were just about teenagers, I'd get it.
It's not though. This obsession with Swift extends to adult women.
I've honestly had an Oxbridge educated in-law trying to engage me in a 'how wonderful she is' conversation.

I was speechless as I was too tired to reply and couldn't even muster any banal platitudes.

Billionaire, capitalist pop star.

Apparently she is now the fourth wave (or whatever wave we're at now) feminist idol. Go figure.

Every word of this. I'm a self-proclaimed Swiftie, but don't feel entitled to see anything of the wedding at all. Just because her career means she engages with a lot of people that in no way means she's under any obligation to share anything that she doesn't want to. Me buying a concert ticket or an album doesn't mean I'm entitled to see or hear any details that she might not wish to share. She has a right to privacy, as do we all.

Who said it was?

She can invite who she likes to her own wedding. Why are you so angry and bitter? Why are you swearing about a woman that is successful and hasn't negatively impacted your life in any way?

You really love a pop at taylor swift threads don't you?

Normal - she built a fairy castle in Madison Square Garden.

There is nothing normal about her, and that’s how she likes it.

Holding back photos will be a power play, like everything else with TS.

You’re over invested.
