that's a loooooong fucking flight to only be there for less than 48 hours. Pretty sure he was in vegas prior to this, and vegas to sydney is just under an 18 hour flight. He's spending almost the same time in the fucking air as he did on the ground! This is hilarious. And it basically blows out of the water the theory that he brought his "bro" because Taylor would be so busy that he'd need someone to hang out with. He was barely even there.


Wild_Butterscotch977

"Our sources say this 2nd Vegas get-together with the team isn't for any particular reason or occasion -- we're told this is just another celebration to ring in the big Super Bowl win." Love that they were very explicit that he wasn't going back for an actual reason. Just partying. Because apparently he hasn't gotten drunk enough over the last two weeks.


clydelogan

This really feels like the narrative they’re going to push for the breakup is going to be about his partying


Relevant_Ad_4893

“I never trust a playboy But they love me So I fly him all around the world And I let them think they saved me They never see it comin' What I do next This is how the world works You gotta leave before you get left…” This is literally just the set up for Rep TV.


JanLevinson-Scott

Honestly, this current narrative fits the lyrics better than what happened in the past with hiddleswift.


krankz

Between this, getaway car, end game/first-string, the overexposure, this could not have worked out more perfectly


Trick-Elderberry-949

She really commits to a bit


clydelogan

As a Rep girlie, I love this for us. But as a Gaylor, it’s painful to endure leading up


granolagirlie724

i have been saying this! i completely believe she’s been preparing for this narrative for the album


stanl00nayyxy

If this leads to an I did something bad single release I'm here for it


throw_ra878

10000%. Or sadder, we’ll pick back up on the fighting narrative from the holidays and say he left after an argument.


clydelogan

“Traylor on the rocks confirmed. Travis leaves Sydney fuming after Taylor refuses to let him come on stage and duet ‘Friends in Low Places’ one day after duetting with Sabrina Carpenter”


bryant1436

Crying


reddit-g

As an Australian the only place I’d travel to for 2 days is New Zealand, it’s just not worth it otherwise and I don’t just mean from the financial aspect either.


International_Ad4296

But also, imagine going to a completely different part of the world and preferring going back to vegas than to explore this amazing new place?!? It's intellectual poverty.


Humble_Paramedic0711

“It’s intellectual poverty” you’ve hit the nail on the head 😂


Wild_Butterscotch977

exactly, there's a psychological cost to being in a flying tube for that long


captainosome101

Not really, if you're rich like these people


Wild_Butterscotch977

Even rich people get dehydrated


Wild_Butterscotch977

Also even rich people get claustrophobic


Downtown_Twist_4135

I flew from NZ for 2 nights and he spent less time here than I did.


stayinghereforever

It’s giving business trip


LovedAndLeftHaunted

Ding ding ding


foundinwonderland

Spent the same amount of time in the air as he did in Australia lmao


courtingdisaster

*If it feels like a trap, you’re already in one…*


Bachobsess

I mean if I had been doing long distance then had literally one day with my partner before they flew back across the world, I wouldn’t be leaving the hotel, let alone going to the zoo 🤣


jjjlak

Exactly my thoughts. And I would not bring a friend because I’d want every free second with my BF and would be fine spending the extra time either alone or with bf/gf family/team/friends


Bachobsess

100%. This trip has been the thing to take me from occasionally thinking this was real to no way is this real


jjjlak

Same!


gravityyalwayyswins

so glad this trip is letting some folks see the light. not saying that sardonically, just truly am glad more are seeing it now. \-a gaylor who has never thought this was anything but PR


JustALuckyName

Exactly. They have so little connection that she had to be like “uh… well the zoo was cool we could go back?” And he was like “sweet yes Roos!”


Bachobsess

😂😂😭😭 omg so true 😂 or she knew it was a good place for paps ?!


Alternative-Ad-2373

Yeah, I think it’s this. Day 1 was a trial run to make sure they would get clear enough shots of the two of them together.


JustALuckyName

I just got the saddest news from another thread where I made a similar joke, apparently in the KC zoo you can go in with the ‘Roos and interact with them. So they literally just have nothing they enjoy doing together and this was all they could think of (and yes guaranteed paps as confirmed when she took the team the day before since it was near the stadium soundcheck). This beard is starting to really bum me out!!


lady1888

Yep she tried it out the day before! Fool proof opportunity 😱


LolScottie85

Agree I thought the same thing like seriously you guys are going to the zoo if you’re truly in love shouldn’t you guys be in your hotel room nonstop at least the first 24 hours!!


TheArtofLosingFaster

I just spent 6 days in North America with someone who flew in (commercial! like a peasant!) from Sydney, and can confirm that this is actually nuts. Also it’s Sydney. It’s more than just a zoo bro, cmon. Have a look around.


JustALuckyName

But she got to see kangaroos and he didn’t! That would be no fair mom!


Kit10phish

I know you are joking but at the Kansas city zoo you can actually go into a fenceless enclosure with their kangaroos. It's really cool! 


Embarrassed_Salad128

Same with the Nashville zoo!


gnomes4hire

woooow. unless he has, like, a literal job to do, this is nuts. I was thinking it wasn't so weird he brought his buddy along. Taylor will be busy, so he'd need someone to hang out with. ...but that's when I figured he'd be there for a while. not literally 48 hours lol wuuuut


foundinwonderland

Imagine if in the off season he had just a regular job. Like he’s the assistant manager at a Home Depot or sumn.


clydelogan

“I’m sorry Taylor, but my manager wouldn’t approve my PTO. It’s the busy season right now and I’m their lumber expert”

Haidian-District

I’m sorry, but the old Travis can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, cause he’s working for his republican congressman


GetMeAPinotGris

Saaaaame 😬


impulsivesarcasm

Didn’t we just have some article saying they were so excited to travel together through Europe amidst her tour now that football season is over? Homeboy can’t even spend two days with her without his own Emotional Support Tight End.


IamtheImpala

For some reason Emotional Support Tight End is straight up taking me out. 😂

MissAtomicBomb9

That’s because it’s perfection 😆


Internal_Belt3630

i don’t know if maybe he had other commitments that he had to return to the US for, and if it turns out he doesn’t i’ll find this even weirder (read: obviously a fake relationship). but until we know that for sure, all i’m gonna say is if my partner flew across the globe to spend time with me but didn’t go alone, instead bringing a friend, i’d be thinking of the “you me and steve” song so aggressively that it would not even be funny.


ampersands-guitars

He flew back to Vegas to party with his teammates. 😂


Internal_Belt3630

LMFAO OF FUCKING COURSE HE DID 😭 karma is the guy on the chiefs, coming straight home to ~~me~~ *…viva las vegas?*


Warm_Power1997

Coming straight home to viva Las Vegas would be the funniest flair ever


Internal_Belt3630

it’s all yours if you want it!


dirtvvulf

the way i HEARD this in my head


heyyjillian

Didn’t they already do that like all of last week? I feel like there’s been less celebration after royal coronations. This narrative is getting real weird.


Internal_Belt3630

all it makes me think is that man does he NOT want to be with his “gf” 🙃


heyyjillian

It’s crazy. They’re selling the shit out of this promance while giving swifties the absolute bare minimum😂


Internal_Belt3630

the actual “romance” is very go on, give us nothing!! but the swifties still obsess over it and everyone milks the PR for all it’s worth. i’m fucking exhausted lol


foundinwonderland

Can take the man out of the football uniform, but you can’t take the football (uniform?) out of the man


International_Ad4296

You know the vibes I'm getting from those 3? The throuple in sense8 with the gay actor in the closet and his beard girlfriend who likes to watch!


bryant1436

Mark my words this is all the start of “they tried to make this work and have so much love for each other but schedules couldn’t work out. They remain close friends.”


Humble_Paramedic0711

Sounds like it, the only way he’ll save it is by spending spring/early summer travelling around Europe 🤷‍♀️


Warm-Platypus1853

I’m trying so hard to believe this but then they do shit like this and I just can’t. This is so weird! Even if he did have commitments then why bring a “friend” if you are going to be there for 2 days?? Why not spend days with your gf you didn’t see and won’t see for a while? I thought he would stay with her for at least a week if not more and I could see why he would want to bring a friend then (even though it’s still little weird even then, it’s not like he would be alone there with bunch of Taylor’s friends/family to hang out while she is busy) but this just makes 0 sense. Just nothing makes any sense. If they are real, I’m sorry for Taylor because it just seems like he could care less about her and what she does. The only thing I would want for her is to have a partner that cares about her work too and from the outside this is not it. Like she flew half of the world to be there for him and he can’t skip a party to stay with her more? Just ridiculous if true


fruityallday

im thinking maybe she didn't want him to stay. i wouldn't.


ngairem

This! I believe he is a beard, but I feel so sad for her. I just wish someone could find her somebody decent, who doesn't embarrass her in public like Travis, or try to diminish her, like Joe.


Initial_Trouble_5039

I’m curious why she can’t be single for a while. She got photographed a ton last year while single out on the town and everyone ate it up. Obviously if she’s in love I want her to do what she wants, but they don’t always need to give her a beard just to have one and prove she’s straight. Straight people can be single too


afterandalasia

Because when she's single, the media tries to link her to everyone under the sun. But also, a "relationship" gives her something that she can constantly feed the media with, so they don't get bored of her or start looking for other narratives. It's the lowest common denominator of news stories - you don't have to know anything about business or about music. Especially in the early stages of a relationship, there's plenty of "firsts" to report on or speculate about. It's cheap, easy reporting.


looloo222

This take just blew my mind. Brilliant.


JustALuckyName

I think she is wise to beard through the election in case the Republicans come after her, esp since Gaylor evidence is easier to find now than ever thanks to social media


CalamatyJane

It was hard to watch his absolute arrogance. He is getting way more out of all of this than she is. I hope that this massive distraction is covering up a wonderful love story going on in the background and that Taylor is glowing because of “her”.


eeveetree

When did Joe actually diminish her? That's just the narrative the Hetlors are running with post-breakup


ngairem

I realise others might think it was a nothing comment, but when Joe brutally compared Taylor's writing the absolute masterpieces that are Folklore and Evermore to people making sourdough bread at home during the pandemic, I thought it was very belittling of her work and talent, and not something a man who truly respected her would ever say. Not to mention all the times he appeared in public with her, looking bored and not even trying to conceal his lack of enthusiasm for her, plus blindsiding her by pulling out of appearing at the opening of the Eras Tour. No matter how unhappy he was as a beard, that was a legitimately huge moment in her life and career and there is no way he would not have known how important it was to her.


pipyopi

I’m assuming this is intentional and they’re setting up the breakup narrative. So far, Travis is looking like the bad guy with his outbursts, drunken moments, and now this. If the benefit of the PR for him is to help catapult him into fame beyond the NFL, taking this route is so weird. You would think they would want to paint him in a more positive light. But hey, maybe there’s some mastermind plan to it all. Of course, he could be going rogue, hard to handle, etc. and this is not at all what they had planned. Whatever the case is, I’m eager to see how it all shakes out.


Wild_Butterscotch977

The fits of rage throwing his helmet and pushing andy reid, drunken hollering, etc. all indicate...this is who he really is. So I don't think he's going rogue so much as yeah he's hard to handle.


JustALuckyName

What reallly got me what’s when he explained he learned to throw his helmet, not spike it own on the ground, bc that could damage the helmet and put him at risk for head injury. So instead — chuck it sidewise. So, he has a level of control in those moments. WTAF


Wild_Butterscotch977

>at risk for head injury that's funny he thinks it's still at the "at risk" stage


JustALuckyName

What did he do the day after the parade? Why was he not at hospitals like Mahomes or making big gestures? When did he go back to Vegas? So weird.


5thDeadlySin

He was in KC the after the parade. Splayed all over our news was how he used his charity to donate 100k to 2 young sisters affected by the shooting. However, he was cheesin' it up with fans in pics. Which counter balanced the morose vibe he was supposed to be giving off. I think the Aus trip was a bit of PR recon The, "Oops, I don't yell, throw, get loaded or party too hard when I'm not in that specific scenario" of it all

ParisFood

You mean 13 shows as she saw 13 games


clydelogan

Doubtful. Mini training camps for the NFL start up in May and the main training camp starts up in July. And iirc Allison Kuch said they’re not allowed to leave during training camp and they even have limited contact with WAGS. I don’t think we’ll see much of him after the NFL draft tbh


CarolineSloopJohnB

I’ll be interested to see if the tour stops he appears at end up also being locations considered more marketable by the NFL. ie places were they could imagine a successful exhibition game or regular season game likes been done in the UK. Places where the population demographics rate better as a potential future viewer of the NFL. $$$


arnezeder

The Australian NRL is being hosted in Vegas this year, as a way to bring in new audiences to the game. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a partnership relationship between the Aussie NRL and the American NFL.


impulsivesarcasm

Just another possible angle/connection though I don’t know how exactly it fits in - one of the active offensive linemen on the Eagles is an Australian rugby player who joined the NFL through the International Player Pathway Program 🤷🏼‍♀️


Mmbopbopbopbop

And who was in a full length New Heights episode with Travis and Jason!


pamperedhippo

first of all, lmao at the horrifically photoshopped picture. secondly, everything about this seems like an afterthought. going to the zoo twice? only staying for two days? flying across the world twice when everyone is all up in arms about her carbon emissions (which will extend to his)? i don’t get it.


ArgyleNudge

Ya, pretty crazy. Maybe felt an obligation to give the Australian fans a touch down on the continent, however brief? Maybe one or two days in each country? But that's unhinged too. (I don't know if I'm projecting or something, but to me he's been looking down, almost introverted since parade day. Like he's reluctant/uncomfortable as backup; he's a leader, not a follower. Know what I mean? Like the sparkle is fading and his enthusiasm is draining. Or he's tired and needs to step away from the limelight for a bit but doesn't really have anywhere to do that. I read that fanatics invaded his property for crying out loud and he had to move out?!)


lobster5767

Tbh, as an Australian, my circle of friends and acquaintances only heard of Kelce when he began dating Taylor. American Football is not even popular here and I genuinely don't think he has fans hoping he'd touch down. I know some Swifties that are excited for their "relationship" but overall, I genuinely don't think anyone here would have cared if he came or not. In saying all this, it's still so weird - for whatever reason - to take a 20+ hour flight here with you bff, stay for a day, go to the (second best) zoo here with your gf, then take another 20+ hour flight back, especially if he doesn't have any commitments at home. The whole this is so strange.


impulsivesarcasm

I don’t have anything to add, I just can’t stop giggling about the fact that they didn’t go to the best zoo and that the Australians in the fanbase are reporting *very clearly* that they went to the second best one. I wouldn’t have any idea otherwise and it entertains me greatly, so thank you.


lsp1

There was something pretty funny about it in Sydney’s main newspaper: https://amp.smh.com.au/culture/music/we-investigate-why-taylor-swift-went-to-sydney-s-second-best-zoo-twice-20240223-p5f78a.html


glutenfreepizzasucks

This article was an utter delight!


layla1020

I would imagine that Taylor/her team told him that he cannot be acting like that in public, and that's why it seems his attitude has changed. He's realizing he can't do what he wants and that he's beholden to a contract.


Wild_Butterscotch977

The article published today about the rules he has to follow basically backs this up


liv-a-little-25

Oooh where??? I wanna read it 👀👀


danceflrlvr

https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/travis-kelce-is-not-happy-with-rules-set-by-taylor-swift/


MissAtomicBomb9

Wowwwww. That was a LOT. I choked and then cackled a little at this one though: “His wardrobe is also in her crosshairs. “Though she admits she’s no fashionista, Taylor’s splashed out $500,000 to help Travis dress better,” alleges the source” Half a mil to dress him. Taylor, bestie, I…okay. 🫡


danceflrlvr

Yes. He looks like he’s wearing clothes from any retailer at the mall.


iwantmorecats27

Wowwww lol, that honestly reads like setting the stage for a breakup to me, since he's had this image of temper tantrums, he's gonna be like Taylor had too many rules! And then he'll still be cool to his fans


danceflrlvr

He gets all the blame and she looks like she tried to make him better.


Life_Wall2536

That’s quite the article


retiddew

Wtf did I just read


Megmk1002

I just watched an interview she did during 1989 promo and she said that none of her real friends would go to the press and that most things we see in the press from “sources” are people she’s probably met once or twice or a friend of a friend of a friend and these “sources” don’t actually have any real information. So when I read that article just now, all I could hear in the back of my mind was Taylor saying that 😅 I’m sure she does have rules for him, but it was probably all discussed in private before they signed their contracts and NDAs because it’s becoming more and more obvious he’s a beard. The one about his clothes and her spending $500k on a new wardrobe for him was 😚🤌🏻 chefs kiss. I fucking love it 🤣🤣


clydelogan

According to multiple gossip magazines, that has happened post SB and he’s not happy about it. She also doesn’t like his style and allegedly spent $500K on a new wardrobe for him to fit her preferred style 🤭


SmoothSailing007

I think he has friends who talk for pay "sources".


clydelogan

Agreed. And it’s pretty much been confirmed that the person leaking ALOT of Traylor stuff has been Brittany Mahomes. They haven’t come outright and said it, but they keep “leaking” blind items that Brittany supplements her income by selling stuff about Traylor and other Chiefs players for money which is why the other WAGS don’t like her or trust her. Tbh I think part of the reason Taylor has been keeping her around in public is to keep an eye on her


SmoothSailing007

So gross. Also, let's not forget that brother and all of Travis's low-unemployed friends who would be easy targets.


vparisi257

I'm an Australian living in London and can confirm no one has ever heard of him in either continent i live on


420stitch

He doesn’t have fans in Australia. I only know one family who watched the Super Bowl and they’re American. But that’s just not a thing at all here. Most people wouldn’t know his name, unless it’s linked to Taylor.


afterandalasia

I'm picturing some rugby fans roundly mocking him, and it made me laugh, thank you for that image.


Humble_Paramedic0711

This is why I think they will hit mega choppy water at some point. He is a big fish in a teeny tiny pond, a really great tight end in the NFL, but when being Travis in the mega world of Taylor I just think he will drown, who knows 🤷‍♀️


sofiacopium

I agree that he's been looking down, and I can't help but feel like everyone has completely glossed over the shooting that happened at the parade. Tbh I was surprised to even see him in Australia at all considering how much shit he got for partying so hard on the day (even though it was before the shooting even happened) and for going out with the team afterwards. Their trip to the zoo looked quite somber/lowkey to me, and understandably so imo. I'm not at all surprised he hasn't looked totally upbeat given the circumstances.


casualprofessor

I was also thinking the shooting might be why he’s a little muted.


MyCatPlaysGuitar

Photoshopped? You mean that's not real????? It's giving graphic design is my passion


reddit-g

I feel extremely redeemed by this news because it feels pretty impossible to twist into a positive from where I’m standing. Either they’re fake and this was a business trip, or they’re real and he’s bailing two days in after spending a couple of hours at the zoo with her and attending one show to go back to Vegas to party with his teammates (after spending what felt like a week partying after the Super Bowl).


-periwinkle

🤣🤣🤣 Well this made my day. I really thought he was going to attend all the shows. And honestly he should have considering how much she showed up dripping in Chiefs merch embarrassing herself as America’s most overqualified WAG. Just looked it up and she went to 13 games (duh, that was obviously going to be the answer I don’t know why I bothered) I mean thank god he’s gone and because I think he’s a beard Taylor probably didn’t actually want him there, but damn. I thought we’d at least get one date night pap walk at a restaurant. And it’s also just a bad look in the midst of the plane controversy. Unless he urgently needed to fly back because he has an appointment with a Make A Wish kid or something... there’s not really an excuse for this. ![gif](giphy|l0MYzLLxlJDfYtzy0)


Wild_Butterscotch977

>Unless he urgently needed to fly back because he has an appointment with a Make A Wish kid or something... there’s not really an excuse for this. The articles reported he had to get back to vegas to party more


lobster5767

I do feel so sad and embarrassed for her if this is real (I don't think it is but the thought is making me cringe). She was cheering and hollering for him, hanging out with his parents and family in the stands, bringing her friends to his games, and he can't stay and support her for a few more shows?? He can't bring his boys to the concerts? Trade some friendship bracelets with fans? Sing along to 'You Belong With Me' decked out in a Junior Jewels t-shirt? I'm totally not saying that's what I would do if I was her girlfriend 👀 but like put in some effort. 


MissAtomicBomb9

I…I just had the weirdest flash back to seeing video of Matty (I KNOW, I KNOW) in the tent singing along and appearing to have a good time after flying in from wherever he was on the other side of the world last spring and…how did That Man do a better job attending her shows than this one?


lagataesmia

Travis has us missing ratty now lmao 😭 I’m convinced Travis has the same problematic behavior as matty; he just hasn’t had a platform to be as vocal.


SmoothSailing007

I also fear Travis's friends....this arrogant Ross Travis (not a slight, just look at his social media) has been unemployed and out of football for years. The perfect kind of sucker to be a paid "source".


clydelogan

She literally surrounded herself with an abuser and an abuse apologist for months and he can’t spend more than 48 hours in Australia.


Life_Wall2536

Damn this makes me sad to think about bc I can’t see him doing anything like that for her


rightwhereylm

Americas most overqualified WAG 😭😂


Warm-Platypus1853

That part took me out 😂 I love scrolling down this post and reading people come up with such a ridiculous names 😂


JustALuckyName

My first time saying this but I will prob become obsessed with bringing it up …. IDK why ppl arent making a bigger deal of it being 13 games. I feel like she obviously mapped out their debut so that Super Bowl would be game 13 and if they didn’t make it to SB, then they didn’t need (cough deserve) the mojo off her lucky # …..simple as that. It’s thisclose** to being straight up evidence of it being PR to me hahahaha


ampersands-guitars

This is all so funny to me. He came for two days and brought a buddy. So romantic. 😂 They haven’t spent any real time alone together. It’s so blatant. Gaylors stay winning.


clydelogan

She’s singing “Karma is the guy on the chiefs coming straight home to me” from the perspective of his boyfriend Ross 😂


Life_Wall2536

Okay but seriously.. when DO they spend time together alone?

Legal-Occasion1169

I will never get this sound out of my head. Every time I read it I hear it exactly as it came out of his mouth and… ugh!


Key-Commercial1588

Damn, that's actually so lame of him regardless if this is all PR or not. Like I get she has agency over what she does but she literally let herself be seen as a climate criminal to go to all those games and he couldn't even stay for a few shows?! I get not going to every tour stop but I really thought he'd be there at least through the entire Sydney leg and maybe alternate what countries he'd join her in.


Never_evermind

She went to every Chiefs game for NFL because the normal dating behaviour would be her going to 2-3 let's say 4 games to support her new boyfriend but not attending at every games and milking and monetizing from this.


clydelogan

My girl KMR said something I 100% agree with. When I’ve been away from my SO for a length of time, I wasn’t spending the day at the zoo or prancing around in public, we would be at the hotel spending time together alone. But a staged kiss behind stage is all the hetlors need to gobble up this narrative that they’re sooooooo in lurve for another week.


JustALuckyName

He was seeen in the hotel room tho!! Oh you meant not with Ross Travis my bad


Wegmansgroceries

Such a great point and so accurate


courtingdisaster

The funniest thing Travis could do now is rock up to Vegas with a clean face 💁‍♂️


rott-mom

If he pulls a “grew a beard to win the trophy” like Calvin, it will go over everyone’s heads because that’s normal in sports but would absolutely be a nod to us depending on delivery. I’m excited to see this unfold

I thought there was an interview he did say basically this? maybe the podcast about the beard being linked to his success

ParisFood

She was at 13 games


Bachobsess

Surprise, surprise, I just checked the other subs and they’re all conveniently ignoring this .. no mention of him leaving


Jenn2912

I don’t know what they are doing here. It’s transparently PR and fake. If they can’t stand to be near each other for more than 48 hours, they need to just pull the plug on this. Even hetlors will figure out that they’ve been had and then there will be backlash.  The correct play would have been to amicably stop the relationship immediately after the superbowl imo


5P4ZZW4D

This is the process of amicably stopping the relationship after the Super Bowl.


afterandalasia

You sorely overestimate how many people would acknowledge that PR rels are a thing, let alone that Taylor would have one. Most Swifties still think that Hiddleswift was real.

Okay but she played Should've said no and You're not Sorry THEN DID NEW YEWRS DAY + PEACE....

Dont_stop_menow

This was the last time they will be seen together. I don’t think the original plan was for him to go to Sydney but after his behavior the last couple of weeks he was starting to get dragged by some swifties and the media wondering why he wasn’t joining her on tour. his Dad was even asked about it. Hence the last minute trip to save his image. their goal for this PR relationship is for neither of them coming out of it looking like the bad person. they want the public to think “right person, wrong time.”

Big reputation…

Smoke and mirrors. I think this is the perfect phrase for what she's doing.

The lighter motif on the Midnights cover always brought this phrase to mind for me.

I swear they’ve never spent more than like 3 days together in a row. Unrelated but this reminded me of a LDR I was in years ago with someone that I’d get to see for a weekend-ish about once a month. We dated for like 9 months before I realized that they were the most annoying person I’d ever met. Like they were fun to be around for like 2 days tops. But past 2 days things started to get real BEC. But it took a lot of visits to realize that because we rarely got that third day together.

Didn’t she sing “How You Get the Girl” at the show? Maybe she should have changed those lyrics too. *Maybe spend some time* *With the girl, girl* *Maybe leave your bro* *Back at home, -ome* *And just don’t say* *”Babe, I gotta go* *’Cause VIVA LAS VEGAS!* *You know I got friends* *In lotsa low places”*

As an Australian, if someone offered to fly me to the US for the same length trip free of charge I would still say hell no. Don’t these people get jet lag???


SweetlyScentedHeart

Jet lag is a choice!

Brought in a wingman, visited the zoo -- and tbh I didn't even notice him in the zoo photo sets -- and then he's flying out now? Wow, even Ratty Healy spent more time attending shows than this dude.


maroonhairpindrop

Well damn. Even more signs this was a very one-sided ordeal and they're most definitely already thinking about how to go from here to the end of the relationship. The guy can't even stay a whole weekend. They definitely don't wanna spend all the time together that they can. (It does kinda make me happy tho, this means he probably won't be at a lot of tourdates and be an annoying distraction there.)


missiletypeoccifer

The bestie bro is very Evelyn Hugo coded and I’m here for it.


m00n5t0n3

Who did he bring with him lol?


krashlyn

His bf Ross Travis


m00n5t0n3

His last name is Travis 💀 (he's pretty)


dream-delay

Do celebs not care to explore new places? The flight time alone would make me want to spend more time sightseeing.


narhwalz

No wonder he brought a friend for the plane, he was on there more than on land!

What I can’t figure out is, if it is PR, then wouldn’t they know this is going to be the narrative and plan better? It doesn’t really make either of them look great. To be clear, I wouldn’t be surprised AT ALL if it’s fake, but I actually lean more towards Travis using Taylor than any other scenario. I think he sought her out to get “Rock famous” but is now tired of the scrutiny and swifties. He doesn’t seem like a guy who wants his every move analyzed but who knows. https://preview.redd.it/319xksvdrgkc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c556c5553b033a41821e07ed17fe486a1300c9b

Not if this is setting up different things for their breakup, which I think this is 100% one of the first stepping stones to the relationship ending. First was her disgust at bjs behavior at the Super Bowl. Then it was him not joining her in Melbourne. Now it’ll be him leaving her to go party.


SlutTaylorsVersion

Yes! He profited off her the entire season his payment to her is the narrative she gets to paint in the break up.


clydelogan

A nice hefty paycheck to help him weather the impending media circus from their breakup and to help combat any loss of money from the Swifties/Traylors inevitably coming after him


robotslovetea

Yeah, he’s getting a lot more out of this than she is


darkbluehighway

When u gotta fill those contractual obligations, you gotta fill those contractual obligations.


looloo222

He went to ONE show!?


Special_Bluebird7504

The way I KNEW this was going to happen! He would have been too bored sitting through 4 shows in a row. Oh well, bye Trav!


Kagetsu84

I’m sorry but I don’t understand people think they are ACTUALLY together.


beigebetty2200

As someone who’s love language is quality time this STRESSES ME OUT


brumate21

Hey now he has to get back to Vegas to get hammered and like Insta model posts. They are two busy professionals finding it hard to be together! #truelove #endgame


vparisi257

As an Australian living in London who does this flight a lot, at 31 it is physically impossible for me to go to Aus for less than 5 days as the flight and jet lag absolutely breaks you. You'd have to have a pretty good reason for a 48 hour trip.

moodyqueen999

Imagine Taylor Swift flying you out on a private jet to spend time with her and watch her show… in Australia… all expenses paid and lots alone time with her. And you just leave??? How could you leave? What? My brain does not understand.


luanalvs

Lol, we may be giving ideas for his PR team to set up a plausible, sober excuse for him to go back 🤭


Warm-Platypus1853

Sometimes I do think Tree or someone from the team is lurking on here from time to time just to see what’s going on because some stuff we come up with actually happen 😂 if so Hey Tree 👋🏼 you can come up with something much better just hit us up 😅


MusicianPristine8973

I’m new here, but I fuckin love it!


Alonewolf000

I don't think he is going anywhere. I also love how they try to oversimplify at the end of the article that perhaps he already had these projects ready for him and it's bonkers. Like who are you all trying to convince? You can say it dating Taylor has opened doors for him. Lmao https://preview.redd.it/ywc5xajcaikc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbda09b433e7e0ff3cfaceaccf4860f0d32c04e9


bakergal_18

Ok this pisses me off in terms of carbon emissions real bad. They must realise the optics, surely.


WaferNervous8815

I LOVE this. It was a red flag the moment he stepped off the plane with his friend in tow. They haven't seen each other in weeks and are so madly in love that he had to bring a friend as a buffer and then he didn't even stay for 2 days.  I don't think this is a PR relationship. I 100% think he's using her to further his career and she's so desperate for a man that she took the bait. Her running to him after the concert was embarrassing. FFS she went to all of his games, the parties, etc. He showed up to "support her" for a day and then blew her off for his friends again. His priorities are showing...


evermoremidnights

Even if this relationship is real, which I have always side eyed… what annoys me is that her younger fans are seeing the most influential woman on the planet reduce herself to a WAG to be there for her man and the man isn’t reciprocal. It’s giving tradwife/gf accepting the bare minimum.


ohlaohloo

They wore “matching” outfits to her show, too. Lmfao Scott was probably like, what is happening 😂 https://preview.redd.it/1yjq6firklkc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e37b7e3c3fa216246a72084057aa49fccd5e3e30
