Taylor and Kelce sitting in a tree... :)

I am happy for them. Trying to lead normal lives when one is constantly in the public eye is difficult, yet they seem to have accomplished that to bigger degree Then many famous people.

Both sets of parents did a great job raising those two and are very proud of them.

They are both self made filthy rich. Travis could quit football and Taylor could quit entertainment today, if they wanted to, but probably won’t.

For as young as she is, Taylor, Swift is quite the philanthropist. She has donated quite a few millions of dollars to various disasters, she will visit children in hospitals frequently wherever she happens to be on the globe. It is little wonder she has such a big following.

I am not a Swifty, but I do appreciate when I hear about her on the local news, which is often because her music journey started in Nashville, TN. She is no dumbbell, that’s for sure. If I remember correctly, her dad is an accountant and I am pretty sure he has managed her career, which is why she has so much money.

College professor sends class home early to process the engagement news

College professor sends class home to ‘process’ news that Taylor Swift is engaged

Has real life turned into the tv show the Gossip Girl

I don't get it either. Just to see what the hype is about, I listened to a little of her music. She can barely sing and a flat voice. Not much real talent. Okay for the usual group of entertainers at the Grammy awards, and the news media who gush all over her.

This public staging of their engagement, after the fact, have rumors out there that they are secretly married already.

They are putting out a July 4th wedding date next summer.
.
They live for the drama. .. hope their love is real while everything else is staged.
 
Swift is 35. They all have their moment in time. Watch out - here come Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, and Gracie Abrams.

I think if they were trying to lead a normal life he would have proposed in private. I don't for one minute think either of them wants a normal life, I expect that's their biggest fear.

I would have put 10 thumbs up on this if I could, limelight or no light it seems
 
I watched a documentary on her - very nice woman with an extremely supportive family who went to great lengths to support her dream. She, like many artists, was taken advantage of early in her career and has been careful to not only resolve those problems, but to caution upcoming artists against them. I wish them well.

I have mixed feelings on her notoriety of all her charitable deeds because as much as she makes she has to have tax write-offs.
Since she gets so much coverage on all these good deeds, I have to think of former people that gave to charity secretly, humbly.
Such as Harry Chapin. He began the Feed the Children way back when and because he went to Washington to lobby for it was the only reason we knew of it. He did many others never publicized. What I am saying is she is not the 1st to do this but Swifties thinks she is. It is a tax write off with added good press added to it. She may be a good hearted person true but darn, do it with humility.
OK you can berate me now. :LOL:

Harry Chapin was beyond extraordinary - there is no doubt about that. I was a fan since the first time I heard, "Taxi" and became even more so when privileged to spend an evening with him and 5 others in 1974.

Whatever Swift does, does not diminish others' efforts, it continues a remarkable trend. Benefit concerts and generous donations have long been part of musicians' lives. Danny Thomas was a committed philanthropist since the late 1930s and went on to found St. Jude.

We know of Harry Chapin's overflowing heart because he was our generation.

Rather than casting shade on Taylor Swift's widely known philanthropy, why not celebrate and encourage her stellar example to a new generation — a generation that is too often seeing little public generosity or empathy toward those in need?

I believe Danny, Harry and others would be among the first to salute Swift's charitable efforts.

I wish Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce much happiness.

Well said and appreciate your view, that is what's good about people being different. If we all adored and the same people at the same time so many others would not be seen or known about. I think she has enough adoring fans, the lack of mine does not diminish what others think and shouldn't. It's just for my taste she is too public for too many things, it's too staged.
 
Good luck to them both & hope they are happy. I don't care what they do with their lives, but I don't really don't need to hear anything else about them or their plans. However, the news about them won't stop & will be insistent.

I have one questions though. Every time she broke up with a boyfriend she would write a song & it seems it was a hit. Shouldn't the ex who the song was written about get some of the royalties from that? Just a thought.

I don’t know, but did the Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton saga back in the 60’s - 70’s cause as much of a stir?

Liz Taylor was married 8 times to 7 husbands. She was married to Richard Burton twice.

I dated a woman in Virginia that was married 9 times to 7 different husbands. I was really excited about this woman. She was very well schooled in etiquette and principles. She was just about perfect in all ways. I enjoyed every moment I was around her.

Here comes the kick in the ass. On our fifth date as we had completed ordering our meal and were drinking cocktails, she gently asked me how much was my net worth. I thought I didn’t hear her correctly, so I asked her, “Pardon?” She asked again me again how much was my net worth. I told her I honestly didn’t know. I asked her if that was important. She answered “To me it is.”

We ate our dinner and then I took her home. I told her I was ill all of a sudden. I told her I would call her again, but never did. She called me twice and since I didn’t answer or return her calls, she gave up. I decided I may have dodged a bullet.

I wish them all the best but I would prefer that they keep their private lives to themselves their families and close friends.

It all seems like the announcement of some sort of business deal or mega merger between corporations.

It falls into the same news category for me as the change to the Cracker Barrel logo. 😉🤭😂

Aw, now that's the ticket!!

I bet that if they could work out a deal with Cracker Barrel restaurant and both would benefit greatly!
The company could give the place rent free for the reception and provide the food and whatnot... they'd
have to work out the drinks/bar thing. (I'm not sure if the blissful couple imbibes or if Cracker Barrel
normally serves alcohol?)

Anyway, the press would have to be absolutely awesome for both... bumpin' up their street cred simultaneously.
How could it miss?
What could go wrong?
What's not to like?!?!

Smart move and well played.
 
I just don't get it. This story should be cross posted in the UFO thread.
