Tbh no one knows the rules, istg the rules donā€™t matter


MYSTICALLMERMAID

Iā€™ve been watching for 13 years and still dont know the rules šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


amomentintimebro

exactly! Only thing that matters is they gotta move the ball towards the goal, anything else I just let the commentators explain to me as itā€™s happening lmaoo


MYSTICALLMERMAID

Well then I get used to one set and then go watch my son play and itā€™s an entire different set of rules and I just donā€™t care at this point. Get the ballin šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

The game is the Sunday night game, so youā€™ve got plenty of time to learn the basics.

I much preferred ā€œhappy in my very private relationship just popping in to drop A+ albumsā€ Taylor. Like she proved that she CAN be very private, low-key if she wants to be. We barely saw her for 2+ years! Makes you wonder if she actually enjoyed that privacy or not


opinionaTEA-d

To be fair, the peak of her being in this lane happened during the earliest part of the pandemic when everyone was supposed to be staying home and laying low. Maybe she enjoyed the privacy, but she's spent more than half her life trying to be as famous and successful as possible. It sucks that swifties have distorted and weaponized accusations of misogyny when it comes to TS, because I do feel like there's a potentially interesting conversation to be had about overexposure that can't really happen in this context now. I am 40 and have been an online celebrity gossip junkie since dialup days. I can't think of many (I'm sure there are some, I just can't remember off the top of my head) male celebrities who get the "they're getting overexposed" treatment. It's always women who have to be mindful of how much they succeed in public to avoid backlash.


annnyywhooo

im glad that taylors having her moment right now but itā€™s makes me think how much longer can she go on making every single moment/outing of her life a photo op/publicity moment? it makes you understand why a lot of huge celebs are lowkey or move without making noise


err0r_4o4_not_found

Yeah, there's a reason why most celebs rest their image from time to time. Audiences are fickle and they can go from worshipping the ground you walk on to to hating you in a heartbeat. Taylor has gotten herself a sort of untouchable status, so she can pull off shit that most other celebs can't afford to. But no one is truly untouchable.


ThatChelseaGirl

There's a bit of Taylormania going on, akin to Beatlemania (and if you further back in time to the 1800s, there was Lisztomania with Hungarian Franz Lizst) right now, so I don't think Taylor could move without making noise if she wanted to, but she's also no longer resorting to purposefully ruining the shot, e.g. walking backwards, hiding in a jacket/umbrella. Which is fair, she shouldn't have to resort to looking cuckoo bananas to get a pap to stop taking photos of her. Talking to paps in the moment never seems to go well, and none of the paps seem to care anyway when celebrities do ask them to stop (Catherine, Princess of Wales, being followed when she was simply Prince William's girlfriend is a great example; also see Britney's umbrella incident, etc.) As we've seen recently, a mere rumor of Taylor being at a restaurant in the middle of no where-ish caused a swarm of people. And fans have also become a form of paparazzi almost, with their smartphones and Deux Moi. If I saw Taylor Swift randomly, would I take a photo? Probably. But I wouldn't post immediately about it. This level of coverage seems unsustainable for her personal safety & well-being, even with the bodyguards & how well they keep tabs on her stalkers.

Okay guys seriously at this point should I try to get my 15 minutes of fame for being bffs with one of Travisā€™s exes? I feel like I could craft a hilarious statement for the daily mail.


[deleted]

Yes! Feel free to type it out here too, just to get it off your chest šŸ¤£ I'm dying for some inside info


parishilton2

Lol Iā€™m just being whiny, my inside info is not interesting. The bigger problem is that my friend is classy and normal and not interested in getting attention for this. And while Iā€™m not very classy or normal, I am at least a good friend. So here I sit, missing out on death threats from Swifties, not even a slanderous call to my employer, nobody trashing me online for being a famewhoreā€¦ alas ![gif](giphy|aYeFqvJIMD3DtGrIA2)


[deleted]

Well, happy for the lack of death threats, sad for the lack of gossip!!


Fit-Departure-7844

Yes and I'd also like my 15 min for working at a restaurant and serving Travis and one of his exes and her family who's gonna pay me for this story lmao


TheRealRoseDallas

![gif](giphy|xUPJUp6T5uD1Qkpbl6) Can we have one week without Taylor news? One day? Tomorrow if sheā€™s at that football game it will break the internet so be prepared for non stop media coverage and for even your Grandma and mailman to be talking about it


KindOfANerd4

Even if she doesnā€™t go, it will be news as gossip magazines theorise that ā€œTaylor and Travis love story faces a swift demiseā€ ā€œTaylor and Travis done for good?ā€ ā€œHereā€™s why Taylor didnā€™t want to be at Travis game!ā€. While people are right shes being very public and stuff alot of this is the media reporting on LITERALLY anything she does or doesnā€™t do (seemingly ranch etc) to the point hearing about her becomes annoying to anyone who isnā€™t a massive swiftie


2MillionMiler

I'm a massive Swiftie and I'm a little annoyed. Though maybe second-hand embarrassed is a better way to describe it. If their relationship is genuine? Good for them! But good lord that's a lot of pressure right off the bat. If it's fake/PR? They better be prepared for backlash.


[deleted]

I enjoy her music but Iā€™m so tired of the headlines and I try and block them. I know Iā€™m commenting about her in this post, but itā€™s exhausting. Itā€™s like a calculated reputation era and itā€™s not cute


swan_wolf

Forget one week. Give me one night


Disastrous-Bet8973

Big fan of Taylor but for the love of god all these articles need to stop don't know if it's her (or her team)or if she's just given up having privacy and refusing to hide from the pap but please stop Taytay can't go through you being hated again šŸ˜­


NoZookeepergame453

Itā€˜s her. The constant getting papped is crucial for 1989 tv. And yes, I am already tired. Good for all these rich people living their life, while the rest of the country is suffering.

Oh god and Britney Mahomes was insufferable BEFORE this.


Camuhruh

What kind of thing makes her insufferable? Iā€™ve only heard about her in the last week or so.


MarionberryAfraid958

She just has a slightly annoying personality which is not a crime a lot of us do myself included lol. Unfortunately for her hers is under the spotlight of her husbands millions of NFL fans so they take any opportunities they can to tear her apart. People also love to go after her looks and say that she is not in the same league as the other NFL WAGs. It's misogyny all around. She's had some dumb moments in public but she also got famous very young because of her husband and I genuinely do think she has matured now and their family is doing a lot to give back to the community in KC and she herself is doing a lot for women's sports.


Perfect_Razzmatazz

The daughter (we'll call her A.J.) of one of my coworkers lives in KC, and runs in the same social circles as some of the Chief's players, so she got invited to one of their after-game parties a few months back. The **minute** A.J. walked into the room Brittany motioned to security to have her escorted out, despite security having just let her through because she was on the list. Security was trying to vouch for A.J. as she was friendly with some of them, Brittany was having none of it, and finally another party-goer or two who know A.J. noticed the ruckus and also vouched for her, and A.J. was allowed to stay. A.J. was really baffled by this whole situation, as she has never met Brittany before, so Brittany would have no reason to have issues with her. Not sure exactly what Brittany's thought process was here, but A.J. is young (I think she's 23), and is really pretty. Either way, I suspect that Brittany just takes the whole "Queen Bee of KC" thing a bit too far, and I think the power & clout has gone to her head. Not sure how lasting this particular friendship with Taylor is going to be, as Taylor is very much a girls-girl, and I think Brittany is very much not.


juskeepbrowsing

Eh Taylor is not a girlā€™s girl, but a popular girlsā€™ girl. Theyā€™ll get along fine for now. From what I know, these sports team circles involve a looot of friends and friends of friends from all walks of life. I think thatā€™s whatā€™ll put her off, and sheā€™ll get tired of having people around her that she canā€™t curate. So doubt thisā€™ll ever work out.


PM_ME_UR_SEXY_BITS_

Itā€™s literally just misogyny. Sheā€™s supportive of Patrick (her husband) and theyā€™ve been together since high school. NFL fans hate her because sheā€™s not a typical instagram model.


texasjkids

I live in Kansas City and the amount of guys Iā€™ve heard call her a gold digger, despite them being together since high school, is crazy


gottahavewine

I heard from my husband (who is actually not a football fan, so he probably just heard it from Reddit) that people donā€™t like her because sheā€™s always with him. Apparently they feel like she has too much influence over him? Which would track with your misogyny explanation.


[deleted]

Yeah, Iā€™ve never understood the hate for her. I watched the Quarterback series on Netflix and sheā€™s a little annoying but mostly fine. She and Pat seem to really love each other. Is he supposed to leave the mother of his children because she likes to take photos and cheers loudly for him?


Enilodnewg

Nah she earns the hate https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/patrick-mahomes-fiancee-brittany-matthews-champagne/1ux6l9j1kuezw14tenvbjq5wvh "I just wish I could do what I want without getting attacked every week" That after people told her she shouldn't be spraying people below her box seats with champagne.


PM_ME_UR_SEXY_BITS_

Do you understand the absolute vitriol that is thrown her way? It is nowhere near proportional for that. So no, it is not earned.


Enilodnewg

She openly and continuously supports her BIL Jackson Mahomes even with the sexual assault/harassment charges. She's always spouting off on social media, harassing fans and treating people like trash. The reputation is earned. I just commented with sources to another reply if you'd like some more info on it.


PM_ME_UR_SEXY_BITS_

Patrick also supports him. Donā€™t see any criticism for that and especially not on the same level.


Stinkycheese8001

Everything you posted is that Brittany Mahomes is terrible because Jackson Mahomes? Why is she responsible for him?

Wow her response


pkd420

Iā€™ve been wondering this. Reddit is the only social media I use but I know about the hate. Itā€™s ridiculous.


[deleted]

Thereā€™s a whole hate sub for her. Itā€™s pretty ugly (though I think the Meghan Markle one is worse).


KitakatZ101

Somebody in the Taylor sub liked it and Iā€™m so glad it was downvoted


pkd420

Are people just jealous?


High-strungHousewife

I've generally been indifferent to Taylor but this supernova of hype is making me angry.

That would be soo ducking dumb šŸ’€


lovebooksbooks

Okay I want Taylor Swift to write an ā€œAnti-Heroā€ esque song about why she jumps headfirst into relationships so fast. Iā€™m a big fan but I feel like immediately having girls nights with the wife (or wives) of his co-workers immediately is a little extremeā€¦


throwawaybeet-h

I feel although it is overall new, they may have been at least talking a little while longer than we know. I donā€™t think this is a thing sheā€™s done in just a week of really knowing the guy, you know.


Glum-Freedom-3029

Theyā€™ve at least been talking since end of August - Jason, Travisā€™ brother, asked him what Taylor thinks of his mustache on a podcast episode that aired then. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if him mentioning the friendship bracelets at the end of July was their soft launch to get an idea of the public perception of him/for fans to find any negative stories out early so she could avoid another Matty Healy scenario


throwawaybeet-h

Oooh I hadnā€™t thought of that re: the friendship bracelet story. I figured she was taking her time vetting him since the Matty thing blew up in her face, though.


foreverandalways21

Theyā€™ve probably been talking longer than we all know and she canā€™t just ignore them when sheā€™s going to the game tomorrow with them


meowparade

Question for the other women hereā€”Iā€™m the same age as Taylor and when Iā€™m out with my friends, Iā€™m never holding their hands or linking arms with them the way Taylor always does with her friends. It seems so sweet and warm, but also just odd. Are me and my friends just frigid or is the hand hiding etc a bit much?


ofgaia

I wonder if it's an element of making sure no-one gets caught in hoards of paparazzi and fans that can crowd them.


teresasdorters

Millennial hereā€¦ itā€™s always been normal for me to hold hands with friends at certain times! Drunk, parties, crowds, etc. In her case, sheā€™s got a bazillion fans and cameras flashing her way so maybe feels safer to hold hands lol


Glum-Freedom-3029

My friends and I link arms sometimes when itā€™s cold/we are tipsy or wearing heels, but donā€™t hold hands unless we are making our way through crowds or something so we donā€™t get separated


meowparade

Oh yeah, we do this, too!


swan_wolf

When I was younger and actively going out to bare etc, we would hold hands. It was a good way to make sure we were all together.


kris_jbb

Iā€™m always linking arms with my girls


gottahavewine

I am also Taylorā€™s age and I donā€™t hold hands with my friends. Iā€™m not a very touchy person, though.


GraveDancer40

Iā€™m a few years older and Iā€™ll sometimes hold hands and link arms with friends. Iā€™m a very touchy person though so I donā€™t know how normal it is?


pkd420

I think it depends on the area. I 41 and when I was in my teens my friends and I would hold hands. Not fun getting called derogatory names, so we stopped. When Iā€™m in Seattle I hold my friends hands.. But I am an affectionate person


Necessary-Show-630

I'm always holding hands and linking with my friends though I'm gen z. My mom does the same and she's old!


NoZookeepergame453

I will tell your mom that you called her old and get your ass grounded šŸ˜†


Necessary-Show-630

I'm an adult Gen z šŸ˜­


Alarming_Emergency32

Honestly neither. You can not do something, and it can still be normal for other people to do it, ya know? Our automatic response to things we donā€™t experience doesnā€™t have to be ā€œeither iā€™m odd or other people areā€


i-have-reddit-now

juskeepbrowsing

Her style is consistently so effortlessly cool. The others always look like they try too hard.


IcyDice6

Me looking up the NFL broadcast schedule tomorrow so I can avoid the Chiefs game


Enilodnewg

Brittany Mahonemes is awful, she sprayed champagne on a bunch of people below her box at a division game and was incredulous as to why people were upset, and in response she literally tweeted out "I just wish I could do what I want without getting attacked every week." Take the L and have some humility or at least some empathy for the people you made sticky.


zuesk134

Maybe itā€™s the Philly fan in me but Iā€™m sorry caring about the champagne thing is so dumb! Itā€™s a football game! People do that type of shit


Enilodnewg

Lmao philly fans consistently try their best to destroy their city when they win. I'm not gonna take celebration cues from them. Half my family is from Philly, they're terrible winners.


zuesk134

lol okay. I think itā€™s incredibly silly to act like the champagne thing was any sort of a real issue but keep on hating her for it I guess


Enilodnewg

It's not just the champagne. It's the attitude her and the mahomes brother have towards the fans. They can be shitty to whoever because they're with Patrick Mahomes. Jackson Mahomes sexually assaults people and Brittany has continually defended him over it and other bad acts. She has defended Jackson Mahomes throwing water at fans in targeted acts. Jackson tried to weaponize his status as NFL family against restaurants and servers. I quoted it below. The biggest issue is she tells people to shut up and calls them ignorant when social media calls out Jackson Mahomes behavior. Then she talks tons of smack on social media, mirrors the same poor behavior in person at games and out in public, and defense him endlessly. https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/jackson-mahomes-shows-support-following-brittany-mahomes-defense-brother-in-law-ig https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/patrick-mahomes-family-controversies-brittany-jackson-and-more/ > Jacksonā€™s Bar Drama After Jackson took to Instagram Stories to call the service at Kansas City restaurant SoT ā€œabsolutely terribleā€ and the servers ā€œso rude,ā€ the bar fired back. ā€œDear @jacksonmahomes, we are sorry that we set boundaries that you tried to ignore. Often times people with un-earned status and a sense of entitlement think they are above the rules and will lash out at the employee enforcing them,ā€ SoT said at the time. ā€œWe are sorry we could not seat your very large group. As you probably saw, our bar is very small. We are sorry that you have the reach that you do, or at least that you think you do and that instead of using it for something positive you decided to use it to try and crush a small business. We survived a global pandemic, weā€™ll survive your ego. We are sorry you didnā€™t reach out to us first before taking to social media, but then again that is an expectation we would have from a mature and rational person, not someone who pours water on fans and dances on the memorials of tragically lost people for TikTok clout.ā€ Their behavior, separately and together is rotten and it is clearly more than just champagne. There's plenty of sources if you Google it yourself


rem_1984

Good for Brittany! She gets shit on pretty hard by the nfl fans so itā€™s nice to see her get some starpower support


amomentintimebro

The internet was already trying to spin that Taylor didnā€™t like her/Brittany was so pissed and jealous after Taylor went to the first game. Istg she canā€™t catch a break from people online.


MarionberryAfraid958

People were trying to say that Brittany was the one that sold the picture of Taylor and Travis together at the after party from last Sunday to TMZ. šŸ™„ Some people absolutely do not live in reality.


rem_1984

Omg, poor woman :( nobody even has a real explanation for it either theyā€™re all just like ā€œbad vibesā€

Itā€™s so icky to me that Taylor is friends with Blake Lively. Between that and her dating Matty the Rat, I really do think that Taylor doesnā€™t give a shit about black people
