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.

The petulance and entitlement of this OP. It’s a bit deranged. It reminds me of a thread ages ago where someone felt they were entitled to more public sightings of Princess Charlotte, her specifically, not her brothers…. A woman whose wedding you were not invited to does not owe you a pic of her dress…and I’m a massive TS fan and you say to the fictitious seeming 10 year old that TS is entitled to keep some things private

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?

Why am I angry and bitter? Where did I swear?

Sorry, wrong poster, I meant the poster I was responding to originally x

This is a bit dramatic. She just wants to see the dress 😂

But why? It’s just a dress. Is it a normal thing to pop into weddings of people you don’t know to just look at the dress? No!

KaleidoscopeSmile · 20/07/2026 10:06

"It's really not that serious. They will almost inevitably get divorced so my fucks are limited. Also this is just MN, not Newsnight, it's you lot who are taking it all too seriously"

It's like OP doesn't realise we can read her posts prior to this one

AlwaysExtraHot · 20/07/2026 10:12

I think it's no bad thing for kids to learn that they won't get everything they want and that their idols don't/don't have to dance to their tune.
I also think the idea of girls fetishising weddings to the degree that you talk about is a bit unhealthy, and certainly not universal. At ten I wasn't fascinated/obsessed with weddings and wedding dresses; I was climbing trees, tramping through muddy brooks, collecting tadpoles, drawing horses and watching Tiswas (yes I'm old).

Sure. Catherine Middleton, Victoria Beckham, even Becca bloom 😂 seeing the dress is one of the most important parts of the wedding for those not getting married. Otherwise vogue weddings etc wouldn’t exist

MissSookieStackhouse · 20/07/2026 10:20

I'm sure the fans will cope! It takes time to Photoshop / retouch the images (then approve them as she's on honeymoon) to create the curated image of perfection she wants to portray. The photos will probably be released when she has a new product to sell.

Brightonkebab · 20/07/2026 10:29

Maybe you need to be a little less invested in the lives of people you don’t know. It’s really weird to be complaining about this.

Ilovemyshed · 20/07/2026 10:51

I would imagine she is on her honeymoon and enjoying 1:1 time with her husband. In a world where they are in a glare of publicity why shouldn’t they have a few weeks peace.

YABU to expect anything.

Aiming4Optimistic · 20/07/2026 10:54

I think it's a bit mean - people love to see a wedding pic

WhatAMarvelousTune · 20/07/2026 07:23

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”?

I said "hiding out elsewhere". As in she cannot be seen to be in a different place to Travis right now or people will know they are not together. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't deliberately trying to misrepresent me.

Taylor Swift has almost infinite resources to protect her privacy and she uses them to her advantage so that she is only seen when she wishes to be seen. Hence, the masses believing that she is on honeymoon right now despite the evidence that Travis and Taylor are not even in the same state.

Chilly80 · 20/07/2026 11:00

She's probably still on her honeymoon

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 20/07/2026 11:23

I think some posters have their tinfoil hats on too tightly. It seems to be cutting off blood flow to their brains.

QuintadosMalvados · 20/07/2026 11:24

I'm looking forward to the divorce album. Half of marriages end in divorce so not a pop at Taylor Swift as such.
She does have a habit of releasing songs about her love life, though.

Will one track be called, Rotten Wood?

You saw it here first. 😁

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.

Exactly. She has spent years shoving herself down everyone’s throats, turning every relationship, breakup, outfit, lyric, and dinner reservation into part of the Taylor Swift cinematic universe while expecting fans to buy twelve versions of the same album and keep her permanently welded to number one. The least she could do is throw her ‘cult’ a freaking bone

Pedallleur · 20/07/2026 13:15

They may not be available to the public. Maybe on this occasion she thinks this one is special.

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

Edited

Ahhh yes, the world of the incel internet, where pointing out facts that don't fit a negative narrative targeting a successful woman for not pandering to obsessives who will never be satisfied and who simultaneously ignore all the men who fit the negative narrative in spades, is "simping". 🙄

And how pray are you privy to this information? Wow you’ve even outdone the Daily Fail!

the 'incel internet'? Ah yes, that would be a phrase coming from a crazed Swift fan who takes any criticism of their 'girl boss queen' as a personal slight.

Best of luck to you!

The amount of energy you put into threads about someone you don't like says a lot about you. Looking forward to a divorce, of someone you've never met, has never done anything to you, who has only just got married, says more. None of it is good.

What a waste of life, to dedicate such time to writing stuff like you've posted.

The level of hatred and fury her success generates is fascinating.

Swiftieswiftieswifties · 20/07/2026 14:43

As a huge Swiftie (as if my user name doesn’t give it away!!) I am also desperate to see photos of her big day. But in no way do I feel entitled to see them or do I think she owes it to her fans.

I’ve been to her shows, I buy her records etc etc but this does not mean I ‘made her rich’ and now she has to reveal parts of her private life to me!!

I love Taylor and I think her and Travis are gorgeous together and will be very happy. Her releasing a photo or not will not change my opinion of her. In fact I think it’s great they kept it private and there’s nothing my AI out there!!!

(P.S. I’m not a teenage girl for the record!)

It's just a joke. I don't put much energy into posts at all to be frank.

Though aren't you wasting, your time replying to me?
