There was a dude wearing a `black and white` jumper that had his arm around #Taylor during last evening’s #SNF #Chief’s game against the #Jets out in #Rutherford. Are U sure she does not already have a “boy friend”?

What sad little lives these complainers must lead. I don't listen to much contemporary music (because I'm antiquated), but the way I look at "the Tay" is that she seems to be a very talented performer who is a steady liberal-friendly presence with a following that puts royalty to shame. There's really no down side here. Imagine how it would be if she leaned in the opposite direction -- as in starting her concerts with a vigorous MAGA! shout or three, or whatever those poor souls do to work up an appetite for the plate of sickening fascist offal they're about to be served by Donald Trump.

"In a post-game interview, QB Patrick Mahomes — our personal imaginary football boyfriend, get OFF him, everyone else — talked about the pressure he felt to get a touchdown pass to Kelce what with Taylor Swift in the house."

See, that's why Mahomes is my favorite NFL QB. He's not just insanely talented, he's relatable as well. He's a guy you could hang out with.

"Just a bunch of totally normal guys once again mad at a dominant American culture that does not give a shit if they live or die."

Since I am far from hip, I LEARNED A LOT from this article.

Thank you, Evan Hurst.

Somebody tell the MAGAts that this is Taylor's world, and we all just live in it.

Won't matter though, they'll continue to write futile and stupid (to be polite) posts.

i guess it depends on which market. There are more choices at Union Square, the Amish farmers have eggs for $6

That ad is terrific! It puts COVID vaccination where it should be - a thing you do now like the flu shot - and is clever and fun...and Travis seems like a really nice guy.

I'm shippin' him and Taylor even harder than I did Tormund and Brienne.

I'm always on the periphery of popular culture so I've been trying to figure this one out. All I got was "they're mad at Taylor Swift for going to a football game with some dude's mother."

So the MAGAs hate Taylor Swift because she's popular and pro-democratic, also a powerful woman? And therefore this football player is a traitor to manhood or something because dating the most popular girl in school was always a sign that you're a beta and a soy-boy?

I dunno, I'm having trouble connecting the dots here.

Do these clowns even know themselves who they're made at and why when they schedule their joint Two Minute Hates?

Frankly, I'd suggest their minds are so addled by multiple conspiracy theories that they manage to "make sense" of just about anything, and to see just about anything as a terrifying and enraging threat to some nonsense they hold dear.

Wow, Clay Travis sure went from zero to "Kelce's dick" pretty quickly in that tweet. Methinks someone is a little jealous of Tay Tay. Just be who you are Clay, be who you are.

I had never even heard of Kelce Travis (Travis Kelce? I'm too lazy to scroll up) but seeing the photos of him publicizing the value of the covid vaccine and bending a knee during the anthem made his non-existent value in my eyes shoot up into "wow, he seems like a great guy!" Well done, Swift. Treat him gently.

This makes me very happy. Hard to pinpoint why. I kind of love Travis Kelce like a son, I think.

His Covid shot commercial was on last night, and I'd seen it already, and it's cute, so I made mr. cc unmute and watch it. He: "Who is that guy? Some football player?" Me: "He won the Superbowl last year. Against his brother." Mr. cc says BFD, bascially. Me: "AND he's dating Taylor Swift! Bet he's risen in your esteem now, huh?" Hard for him to argue that one.

Also too, this. "...who took a break from her billions-grossing most successful concert tour of all time to watch football from some really good seats." WITH HIS MOM!

I wish them all happiness. Fuck you, Jake Gyllenhaal.
