Blank Space (ft. Travis Kelce) | Episode 64

[@zingaash1266]

One thing I have always thought about the collab with Joe on Taylor's album, it was born of necessity. With covid the entertainment industry was hit first and was the last to recover. As far as live performances, movies, etc. She essentially gave him a job, where nothing else was available to anyone in theater. We had friends in the industry and the sheer amount of speculation at the time if they would even bounce back was a real concern. It makes sense to me that this would weigh heavy on him, and that can make you a little anxious, a little down, and maybe a little embarrassed to not be able to match your partner in living expenses. I feel like she gave him the opportunity for partnership on her albums to even out their equality while they went through this down time. I go back to so long London and the imagery, and I can't help correlating that imbalance she tried to correct during covid, with that being a catalyst to the cracks in their relationship.

[@brendathompson5448]

The way Travis is the right guy for Taylor is that he was raised by a strong woman.

[@mikedebruyn]

What helps the Kelce brothers in the handling of fame towards Taylor is that they are the emotional leaders of their team, afaik both were their team's captains (Travis will be receiving the ESPY tonight for the best sports team while Mahomes will get the one for best player). But while being prominent they were not the QB, not the face of the franchise so they always worked alongside people who were more famous/important then them. Taylor is just another QB in that sense :) . It's also quite common and tbh I think part of their media training to spread compliments around and take the blame upon themselves if needed. Travis will compliment the offensive line when he has a 150 yard multiple TD game, the other receivers for diverting attention off of him, Pat for throwing him open and the coach for dialing up great plays etc

[@Ms_Farita]

👏 well said! I’m going to predict that after this tour, Taylor will be taking a leave. She will re-release 2 more albums. Travis will retire after his contract ends.

[@bronwyn117]

I’ve noticed that every time Travis is complemented, he diverts attention to his coach, quarterback or brother. He never takes all the credit. Love!

[@pettycrockerxx]

Travis was in band when he was in School...he also talked about learning the piano....is actually a pretty good singer... Travis is much more intelligent and creative than a lot of people give him credit for (also his fault because he plays into the dumb athlete troupe). He just got complimented loads from his acting debut. I think there is LOTS of potential between them creatively...but also, I dont think its a priority for either of them....ALSO hes a team player...literally, I think that mentality is very valuable for being in Taylor's life...he dosen't mind not being MVP, he dosen't need to, it seems like he thrives off the energy of the peoples closest to him and does what he can to cultivate that. Very cool mentality "the fountain" as he says. :)

[@swiftie_mama85]

Got my little 8 year old swiftie that Little Golden Book last year and it is the cutest. She already had been making up her own little songs and even a few melodies, but after we read the book she said " I could grow up and be like Taylor!" 🥰 Then, she asked for a "real" pink guitar for Christmas and a Polaroid camera. She loves them both and as If I hadn't already been a HUGE swiftie for years, the fact that Taylor helps my baby girl and little girls and boys all over the world believe that anything is possible literally makes me tear up. 😭 Love you ladies and never miss an episode!

[@Christiandemocrat365]

One note to answer the question why the Kelces fit, the one thing that is not mentioned is that they are team players. They put the team first. The family knows how important a team is. Taylors team is no difference. One thing about football is we all know the QB get the attention, but it is a team sport. You need everyone to be at there best to win. They have been training for years on being a team player. This fits in well with how Taylor runs things. - A Football fan

[@cmkeshishian]

My husband got that goldenbook for me last year after getting shut out of tickets. He was very sweet to think it's anywhere near the same, but I appreciated the gesture.

[@Susiehighschool]

GIA- girl, your dresssss!! You brought the WORK today sis! Totally crushing it!

[@bonnieflynn4798]

There is a video of Travis making bracelets for welcome to TEU last year

[@elizabethfucella8837]

Omg! The book is adorable. Perfect Christmas gift for my Swifties

[@katielafave4543]

look i want taylor to be happy and she clearly is! i have always felt like if she wants to get married and have kids that's great and if she doesn't that's great too. however, after TTPD i do think it's what she wants. also when you are in your late 20s going into your 30s i think you know what you want in a life partner more and you have those big and serious conversations earlier on. my brother got engaged at 29 after being with his girlfriend for a year and my dad proposed to my mom at 29 after only being together for 6 months. so if taylor and travis do engaged soon it wouldn't be shocking to me in terms of timing!

[@Samiam88]

Travis also did say in that same episode “or she just didn’t wanna meet me” lol

[@angelamarie4137]

I think he took it personally for sure 😂 Security or whoever probably didn't even ask Taylor, and it was the standard answer for people asking to meet her.

[@barbaracilley8200]

I think Taylor didn’t know who he was.

A lot of weird comments this time around so I’m just coming back to let you know you guys are killin it!

[@deandra6815]

There is a video out there of Travis just before entering the suite at the KC N2 concert where some girls gave him a friendship bracelet, he’s holding a few given to him and he’s wearing a single friendship bracelet on his right wrist with what looks beads corresponding to a phone number so I believe he did make one. Best story ever

[@katielafave4543]

yes the story about taylor's job on their christmas tree farm is true!!!

[@vanessaann_81]

I also cried about the book 😂😢 It's so cute.

[@katielafave4543]

well taylor can go to every game except 4. 3 of them she has a concert and the other one is the AMAs

[@melisabuckley2873]

My conspiracy theory is that Kam is the inside source that got Taylor to watch the the New Heights to get them together

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Me too

[@reneesmith983]

Thats not a conspiracy theory, thats very plausible.

[@MusicalMiranda82]

I love Animal Crossing! I used to play it on the Game Cube and then the switch came along and I was like, "Man, I forgot how much I loved that game." and bought it. Lol I love both of your outfits! :-)

[@alexchen9480]

the book is so cute! omg

[@BethHurd-fg5ie]

My granddaughter has that book. She knows who Taylor is because her mom, sister and I listen to her so much. She used to scream Cruel Summer and now she screams Who ‘s afraid of little old me. She is 2 1/2!

[@nonamesue1]

I would like to see Taylor and Travis do an old-school Christmas special. They could do SNL type skits and Christmas songs.

[@keepingupwith.......2907]

Story time was the best ❤❤

[@erins2080]

I love you guys but don’t agree with the “ only a year “ ! When you know you know especially when you are older and have lots of life experience. I also think Travis is very traditional and is looking for a wife / family and don’t think he would have a relationship with Taylor unless she wanted the same thing.

[@TAYLORWATCH]

totally agree!! we meant more like there shouldnt be so pressure since its only been a year, everyones timelines are different!

[@Aric1983]

The preying mantis story is true, she’s talked about it in interviews before.

[@Ayla_Perry]

I love TOG! I am here to explain! Ansel (red hair girl from the dessert) we meet her in assassins blade (red dessert story) celena and ansel become friends but then ansel back stabs her and is also nearly killed but celena cuts her a break with the promise that ansel will owe celena one day. Please read assassins blade just to get my more context of who celena was before she was captured and put into the prison (where we first meet her in TOG)

[@TheCrazygirl786]

I ordered the little golden book from Amazon! It’s so cute!

[@katejcrochet]

Read Assassins Blade- you meet the redhead and Yrene in that book. Makes when you meet them later in Tower of Dawn have a bigger emotional impact.

I didn't realize showing up to the airport super early was a white people thing 😂 Gia that makes you an honorary Dominican. We are notorious for getting to an airport extremely early 😂🇩🇴

[@kellyprang611]

I have wondered if maybe there were some health concerns regarding Andrea last year at the beginning of the tour- i saw some photos of both she and Scott masked up in (i think), Nashville. Anyway, maybe Taylor was trying to avoid being around people outside of her circle due to not wanting to expose Andrea to anything? It seems that Andrea is no longer masking, which I am hoping means that her immune system is better now?

[@dominiccuomo7205]

When you girls mentioned Animal Crossing do u think Taylor plays Animal Crossing 😂😂😅😅

[@melisabuckley2873]

I think so but I am not Gia or Kelly

[@louisesanchez6935]

I almost bought that book YESTERDAY 😂 33:48

[@weisfamilymn]

I found that book at Kohl’s last summer and sent it to my niece lol ☺️

[@abbyherlkc531]

Has there been pictures with other people during the US tour posted or is it just the European tour that we are seeing these pictures with other stars. I don’t know that I recall seeing any (not that I was paying attention prior to Travis coming into the picture). Nothing is ringing a bell for Asia and Australia and South America. I was wondering if maybe she changed her tune post Travis??

[@Jess-y7c]

I don’t think Taylor is going to put Travis on any albums I think she wants to keep that separate I mean look what happened with Joe he’s getting money from her still whenever someone buys Folklore or Evermore Taylor might bring Travis out again for the show but one thing about Taylor is her work is everything to her and that’s her achievements and it’s not her boyfriends achievements so I don’t think that will happen

[@meganfeverston4586]

After what happened at Jack’s wedding, I could see her not announcing an engagement until she’s actually married 😅

[@wendyhorrell4675]

I think what we know from TTPD Taylor wants to get married and has been teased with the possibility of it from past partners. I think if these “engagement coming soon” articles were completely false her camp would shut them down since that would hurt her if it wasn’t where they are at in their relationship. It’s either already happened or is coming soon.

[@TaraSeaman]

Absolutely it's true you have to take the egg pods off the trees

[@AshleyShamos]

I got the Little Golden Taylor book for my 2 youngest girls (and honestly myself) for Christmas, and my 8 year old and I cried reading it as well 🥹. She is the best role model I could ask for for my 3 Swifties! Totally agree with you guys and the engagement talk. Coming from someone who was with my now husband for 7 years before we got engaged, I just love seeing her enjoy this love. Whatever is happening for them behind the scenes is for them, and I just love watching them SO IN LOVE. We should just enjoy all they are letting us in on because it’s beautiful ❤

[@michaelmartin2855]

I know this is really jumping the gun but I don't care about engagements I would love to see them stay together and someday have a family. I think there children would be beautiful and talented. But that's just me.

[@erins2080]

I think there is an unwritten rule that NFL players don’t get engaged or married during the NFL season. I don’t think they are engaged yet but close. Also wondering when Mamma and Papa Kelce will attend a show.

[@1957es]

Travis said that Taylor’s cousin (the mini race car driver? Who?) was at the KC show and was talking about him and posing for pictures in front of his locker ( the locker room was her dressing room) so she did know about him but didn’t talk to him for whatever reason.

[@irene2hansen241]

Here we use a wedding band as an engagement ring. both use the rings. And when we get married, we also engrave the wedding date inside the ring (same as the engagement rings). I like it much better, don't understand the point with a big diamond ring as an engagement ring Or a sperate engagement ring.

[@BarbaraStJames-mz2yi]

What do you think will happen with Travis moving rapidly into show business? Will that alter the relationship when he is no longer in a completely different field? I haven’t heard anyone discuss this.

[@Jess-y7c]

They won’t discuss it it’s like with Joe they don’t want to think about it!! But it doesn’t really matter anyways because Taylor still has her job to and she will be constantly writing music and I heard she’s directing a new movie right after the tour ends!! And this is a rumor but I heard she’s also going to be in an upcoming Marvel film so I’m sure they will make it work out!!

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

More like a month after she gets married! They have nothing better to do than gossip and keep her name in their mouth, and then they complain when people bring her up but it doesn't fit their narrative 😂

[@Jess-y7c]

The Press is already spreading rumors Travis is cheating!! The press have never been nice to Taylor and they destroy every relationship she’s in have you notice that all they talk about is Travis and Taylor together they don’t focus on Taylor’s accomplishments all they care about is who she’s dating it’s always been like that and the press continues to trash Taylor still besides that rumor going around this article slammed Taylor and called her Millennial Cringe just recently and then we have Newsweek and their misogynistic article about Taylor Swift, and of course Scooter Braun’s new documentary trashing Taylor on HBO Max and making Taylor the villain!! The press has never been nice to Taylor or who she’s dating that’s why Taylor has so many songs calling them out!! Unfortunately I bet they would yes The Press would start rumors just like that they are already doing it and they are just dating still!! I hope the press doesn’t ruin them that’s all I have to say!!!

[@angelamarie4137]

I really don't think Travis and Taylor care. I know Travis seems totally unfazed by it, although he talked about how it worried his Dad. Lol I don't think the media had anything to do with Taylor and Joe Alwyn's breakup. Based on the clues in her songs, it seems unrelated. I think they just weren't a good match from the beginning, and she exhausted herself (emotionally) trying to make it work until she eventually stopped trying. I think the best thing we can do as fans is to stop clicking on clickbait trash articles and ignore trash accounts like DeuxMoi. The people who gossip about Taylor and/or Travis and attack them are attention seekers, plain and simple. Some people aren't happy unless they are creating drama or in the thick of it. And a lot of people are just green with envy and want to tear her down out of jealousy. It's mentally unwell to behave that way, and I won't give it any attention.

I know none of the people involved. That being said, last fall Dave Portnoy really gave off stalker vibes in my opinion. Continuing going on about Taylor and how one of her best friends was a spy for him and going to get him into the suite she’s in. Might not be conducive for meeting up although her security can definitely handle him.

I'm pretty sure they first met in July. We know they texted and talked on FaceTime for a little while before they met face-to-face, so it could be August. Either way, they've been together for about a year now.
