you all act like every country song ever written wasn't about some broken heart & a breakup.
Her broken heart breakups just happen to be a bit more public and her songs a bit more mainstream and popular.

We really need this thing to end by training camp. We can't endure another season of this. You have to weigh two broken hearts against millions of miserable fans each week. It needs to end for the greater good.

Either that or the Chiefs need to start losing. This is a win win for the NFL. There is a sizable number of fans who are tired of KC games being turned into Access Hollywood, but they probably aren't going to stop watching football because of it. There is also a sizable number of people who never watch football who tune in just for this ********.

But the album it will spawn will go double platinum at a minimum.
Yep, she needs more heartbreak and pain to write better songs, which is why, IMO, Tortured Poets, the album she released this year (and wrote largely after starting to date Kelce) was one of her weakest (again, IMO).

I'm just kidding around. I know that the NFL loves the extra promotion (as if they need it), and although I was mildly amused about this at first, but now mildly annoyed, I'm not going to stop watching. I like football. As Tony Soprano would say, "End of subject!"

I went to the Lisbon TSwift concert in May.

I’ve never been to a concert where the crowd was so amped up. People were going nuts for the opening act, they were going nuts for intermission piped in songs. The energy for Swift when she was on stage was on another level. It was hysteria. Girls/women screaming out her lyrics for 3.5 hours. I think the reason is threefold:
- it is such an in demand ticket that getting to go to the show is like arriving in Shangri-La. People are just pumped to be there.
- people just love her music
- the show is extremely well produced and it is a seamless 3.5 hours.

As far as Travis Kelce going to the concerts, it’s got to be tiresome. Everyone is looking at him and if he’snot appearing to be having a blast then the video will get blasted out to the world in less than a day. I don’t see how he does it. After 2.5 hours of her show I was wondering if my wife really wanted us to stay to the end.

My prediction is that they’ll get married and it will break the internet. He’s probably got one last decent NFL season. Good luck to him. He’s probably tired of her **** already.

Actually I hope they get married and make the marriage last. It will reinforce marriage as an institution to her fanbase.

Is it wrong that I don't care enough to be triggered by who celebrities date/marry/divorce or that I don't care about their political beliefs.

I wonder if Teen Beat realizes they're missing out on a large audience by not offering discount subscriptions on Rivals, 247, On3, and Barstool.

Some here resent Taylor Swift; a white American woman who is going to be a self-made billionaire before her 33rd birthday. I don’t get it.

Swift is known as the "Queen of Bridges" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_(music)#Etymology )
Her lyrics are strong, clear, memorable and often sung-shouted in cadences people just love to jump in on (and girls are good at remembering lyrics). Nobody has to be able to sing well to carry the cadence

Swift performance aside, its nice to see kids having fun without getting wasted and throwing-up on each other lol.
Her gigs are like sing-along Karaoke with Swift and audience teamed-up.

NYC acquired "patriarchy" stuff aside, Swift is pretty smart - you have to listen to her talk about music and such.
A girl much smarter than a guy rarely works out well and Kelce is a meathead.
Alas she began career singing about crushes on football players.
I also think she likes having someone taller than her (she's very self conscious about her height) who is also not afraid of her.

Eventually, when some younger, hotter and less complicated cooter comes his way, that’s when the entertaining fireworks begin! 🤭☺️😎

Funy you should mention "less complicated" since I recently watched a few dozen Youtube vids of a girl "noodling" (bare handed catfish catching) with her family in SW Bama. She was just a twangy redneck kid (her term) and now she's famous and made millions. Hannha Barron - she's addicting to watch after a few vids. She says nothing about the patriarchy

Addicting to watch? Maybe if you're stoned out of your gourd or are a ten-year old girl.

It's complicated if you read the posting history. It's like the prize in a Cracker Jack box- you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes, some very high quality posts. Sometimes some head scratchers. Never attacks any posters, which is a very positive attribute. Appears to have a very good knowledge of football. Don't think it's either of your choices.

I get a kick out of the head scratchers.

My guess is that the ear/eye jam requires a long pencil, one that may not be sturdy enough. Even then, I’m concerned that you won’t find a proper angle. You will hear one more thing, so let us know.
The answer on the angle:
a) It's in the Zapruder film
b) The angle of the dangle is proportional to . . . .
c) a but not b
d) b but not a
e) all of the above
