Taylor and Travis are engaged!

If ex-boyfriends get songs written about them, what do ex-husbands get - entire albums?

May we never know

Agreed. Lack of privacy, numerous romantic/sexual options, busy careers, sycophants and hangers-on, etc. make long term relationships for the famous (ok, one uber-famous, and one sorta famous) difficult. Assuming they go through with the marriage, I give them two years. I hope my prediction is wrong, but the cards are stacked against them.

Congratulations to them.

On the negative side, her future music will suck wind.

I think she will do just fine. She can adapt well and has lots of varied things she can write about.

my SIL’s best friend has a son who survived bone cancer. This was years ago and he was in high school. His wish was to go to a Taylor Swift concert. She made it happen for him and his family. Met them backstage. He had a bad turn a year later - she visited him in the hospital! She has periodically checked in on him since then. She’s a wonderful person IMO. I see a long loving marriage in her future.

I’m not much of a music or football fan so I only pay attention to them because the younger people in my orbit do. And because they’re everywhere. I don’t know how her ego operates, but I wonder if, having accomplished ā€œeverything,ā€ she wants to step back from the superstar world and live a family world for a while.

The big joke in our family is that during Covid Taylor Swift wrote like four albums and we were proud to have finished a few jigsaw puzzles and make some bread. She’s on another level.

Except that we know now that Taylor is also into baking!

Big into sourdough and homemade pop tarts!

I will take no criticism over Travis and now Taylor. :joy:

And then there’s right-winger Charlie Kirk urging her to ā€œsubmit to her husbandā€ and ā€œEngage in reality moreā€ ā€œreject feminismā€

Oy.

Someone should tell him this is 2025 not 1825!

I mean, Taylor and I both got engaged in Kansas, so we are basically the same person, right?

Been seeing that comment on various social media threads all day. I’m always puzzled why people come on to topics they don’t care about to announce it. There are a number of topics on CC that I’m not interested in. So I don’t read them or post.

I like Taylor Swift’s music and she does quite a bit of good work. I am not as big of a fan of Mr. Kelce’s, primarily because I am a Buffalo Bills fan. They seem like decent people. After her string of bad relationships, I am happy to see her happy with someone who clearly loves her and is proud to proclaim it to the world. Am I going to be reading every detail of the upcoming nuptials? Probably not. But with all of the horrible things happening in our world, it is nice to read about something happy and positive.

The thread was started by people who want to talk about the Taylor-Travis engagement. If this doesn’t interest somebody, they are free to engage in the other 99% of CC.

Coming on this thread, or any thread, just to state that you are not interested in the topic of thread and then to continue to post about your lack of interest is not acceptable behavior.

Thank you for your compliance.

The one hope I have is that they request guests who wish to give them gifts to donate to a cause or causes they choose. I know that both of them donate a lot of money, and I can’t imagine that there is anything they need. Of course, they don’t have to make that request, but it would really be awesome if they do.

NOT that it’s their responsibility, but they truly are in a unique position to positively influence how people approach their own weddings in the future.

I would have no problem if they put some things for friends and family on a registry, just like other couples Donations could also be made if that is what the guest prefers. The couple is very generous so there should be plenty of money/donations from them and their guests.

I’ll be interested to find out where the wedding will be . I’m guessing it will not be over the top.

Yes! Hopefully not like the recent Jeff Bezos wedding.

Have they announced a date??

Unsurprisingly, no.
