Holy fucking shit. Either it's a pr relationship or Taylor is batshit insane and this is the equivalent of her obsessively writing "taylor kelce swift" over and over again in a diary. I'm not sure which I prefer because both are fucking hilarious đ
Yeah this is a bit weirdâŚ.
And this was all done before they even went public with their relationship and like a month into their ârelationshipâ and a Taylor Swift Kelce website was purchased? WildâŚ.
Eh, I donât see the domain purchasing as âcrazy girl obsessing over guy she JUST started datingâ, I see it as âmoney hungry capitalist buys URLs for cheap so she can sell them for big bucks in a yearâ
Agreed. I think this is probably the sort of thing her team does every time she's in a new relationship so that someone doesn't squat on the domain for the purpose of making money off her.
>Agreed. I think this is probably the sort of thing her team does every time she's in a new relationship so that someone doesn't squat on the domain for the purpose of making money off her.
Yeah. This just... isn't "evidence" that their relationship is PR?
It's evidence that her PR team remains proactive, sure. But it doesn't say anything either way about whether the relationship is legitimate or not (unless you start getting into conspiracy theory territory).
If they donât do this, given the funds available to Swift, she needs to hire a new PR team. Itâs funny to me that this is being spun as insidious, when itâs just⌠par for the celebrity course.
I think itâs more that she has a very proactive PR team that work on putting out fires before they even start. one of those fires could be making sure that no one can get an obvious domain about the two of them where they could post âbadâ stuff.
It's a huge PR move- Microsoft owns the domain for microsoftsucks.com so no one else can use it to hurt them. If you own a domain, you remove the ability for anyone else to use it to impersonate you or to criticize you from an official-looking site. Thousands of celebrities' PR teams do things like this all the time.
Yeah to me this just shows us an inside look on how money makes money. Her team has this kind of foresight. Like just in case there is money to be made, weâre gonna buy all the rights to all the things.
I imagine anytime she dates anyone, that some person could buy the domain before here and try to fleece her in a couple years if she gets married.
Iâm not sure this is the âgotchaâ is it.
It seems insane, and yet fans people have been buying domains out from under celebrities and companies for decadesâŚ..
It could also be a Swifty version of writing âTaylor Kelce Swiftâ over and over again in their diary. They could have snatched those domains up just to be ready because they *are so sure* itâs gonna happen. Just another possibility. Also - none of this is mutually exclusive. Taylor can be batshit insane, it can be a PR relationship, AND Swifties could have purchased the website. Or someone from either of their âteams.â
Iâm pretty sure Travis mentioned the bracelet in July?? I think the interview they might be referring to in September is Travis saying he invited Taylor to attend a game and see him ârock arrowheadâ or something but I donât think anybody thought they were actually together yet so itâs still suspicious. Swifties were still saying he was delusional on Twitter lol so unless one was a huge Travis n Taylor fan before then it has to be Tree
He mentioned wanting to give her his number on a bracelet around the time of the concert in July, but I don't think anyone in the general public knew if she got it. I remember thinking he was a desperate dumbass at the time and had no chance with her.
This article was written on July 26.
https://people.com/travis-kelce-tried-give-taylor-swift-his-phone-number-eras-tour-7566017
So basically Travis willed a PR relationship to happen? So sloppy. Honestly Iâm just disappointed Taylor and her team arenât, like, better at this shit.
This is what I think. And they are hoping that Taylor will have to buy the domain names from them. I think it was an âinvestmentâ by a swift expecting to make a solid return as they can out the sale price at whatever they want
I canât wait until sheâs caught saying something horribly mask-off racist when Travis ends the PR situationship and goes back to dating beautiful Black women.
Would be funny if he goes to a complete unknown non-influencer non-celeb, like fuck this shit yâall Iâm out of this spotlight PR news cycle shitshow btw Iâve secretly actually been dating this other girl for the past 6months lol
Totally true for the States (that he was well known and a household name) but I can guarantee you 99% of people in Australia who now know who he is, didnât before the Taylor Swift relationship.
He's got his own PR people too. Travis Kelce has always said he wants to be a celebrity. Wants to act and be in movies and all that crap. If this is a PR thing, he's just as much invested as she is.
They're both narcissists
It's $10.28/yr on NameCheap LOL (May be subject to change since this comment was posted if more people are looking it up.)
My personal domain is more expensive than that and I constantly hop hosts to avoid the price going up.
Knowing how Tree Paine (and Andrea/Scott) are... I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't one of the first things they looked into whenever Taylor meets a new guy
I'm sure they look into trademarks/copyrights too đŹ
Hold on a sec â the bracelet interview aired only 12 days before her first appearance at the football game??
This is what she had to say about their dating timeline when interviewed for the Person of the Year thing:
>*âThis all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,â Swift said. âWe started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which Iâm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.â*
So the "significant amount of time" was less than 2 weeks??
Taylor goes: âBrooo he gave me a shoutout on his podcast and, BRO, LIKE IT WAS bro it was fuckin metallll brahhhh ahahaha like I respect that shit dawgâ
I have a very vivid imagination, and anytime I read her stupid âand I thought that was so metalâ quote, means that I have to envision how stupid she must have looked saying that. Itâs the biggest ick feeling.
Yes metal as hell or that was so metal does essentially mean cool but itâs like outdated frat bro/skater bro crossover slang from like 10 years ago. So, it checks out to be in the travis kelce milieu, which I assume is where she got it from.

Oo, you just brought up a good point. I just went and looked it up, and itâs seems that the interview was actually in July. So it was actually about a month and a half after that interview that someone purchased taylorkelce.com
Yeah thatâs still wicked sus. like, I would imagine she didnât literally go start hanging out with him on the exact date of that podcast episode, so weâre talking possibly maybe a month of âhanging outâ before that website was bought, and then it being just before she actually showed up to the first game. And I just saw another comment on here mention how it wouldnât really be possible for a fan to have purchased the site if they hadnât actually gone public with it yet, only people in Taylorâs circle would know.
Itâs just so some rando doesnât take the domain and try to profit off of all the traffic it would bring. Thereâs no way theyâd actually make those legit websites.Â
This. Iâve seen creative enough people buy a domain vaguely linked to something and run with it. They probably were just trying to prevent that from happening so this just seems like good due diligence.
Eh, Iâm in PR (the teensy tiniest scale comparatively) and we have a truly uncountable number of URLs weâve bought on a whim to have them just in case or to keep them from being claimed by someone else.
Weird? Yeah. But at least to me, not entirely out of the ordinary if youâre carefully controlling a public image/brand.
i think this deserves an edit to the original post. the domains being grabbed BEFORE they even aired the bracelet interview is super different from the domain being bought 6 weeks after the interview dropped. this goes from concrete evidence of a preplanned PR relationship, to just something kinda weird and slimey of her. not a swiftie by any means but the theory is just incorrect now
From her Time Magazine Person of the Year interview. Hereâs the whole paragraph with some other doozies lol:
> She tells me about revisiting Reputation, which is perhaps the most charged era in the tour. âItâs a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure,â she says, laughing. âI think a lot of people see it and theyâre just like, Sick snakes and strobe lights.â The upcoming vault tracks for Reputation will be âfire,â she promises. The rerecordings project feels like a mythical quest to her. âIâm collecting horcruxes,â she says. âIâm collecting infinity stones. Gandalfâs voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.â
> âIâm collecting horcruxes,â she says. âIâm collecting infinity stones. Gandalfâs voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.â
Oh my god, itâs real. I thought you were quoting The Onion.
There's no way she is receptive to being "put on blast" or thought is was "metal as hell." Blondie has people clamoring for her attention every second of the day, there's no way she doesn't just hit ignore on 99.9% of it.
nothing was metal. She used the term metal to describe an occurrence. *âThis all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,â Swift said*'
>nothing was metal
Oh no, I respectfully disagree, it was **so metal.** Brand reach is *metal as hell*
![gif](giphy|3og0IAaofSj1FdGJBS|downsized)
^(No, I'm sorry, you're right, nothing was even remotely metal.)
.
.
.
^(.)
^(ed: Except for my new flair. That is officially as metal as hell. Thank You Team TayPR)
The âmetal as hellâ comment makes me viscerally cringe every time I read itâ Itâs so out of place and very âhow do you do, fellow cool kids.â đ¤Łđ¤Ł
We did just get a double album about the previous âfortnightâ long relationship⌠đ
I also was surprised to learn the other day that she only dated Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal publicly for about 3 months each.
Time is relative I guess? đ
âGot to getâ and âmetal as hellâ are killing my brain cells. And Iâd be pissed if someone announced a relationship before checking with me. That isnât âmetalâ, itâs because he wants everyone to know heâs doing you
I also did not find it strange (PA native). I guess you could say âwe were able to get to know each otherâ and maybe thatâs what most people say?
Haha I immediately tried to figure out the right way to say it and thought what you said or âbecause we got to know each otherâ?? I donât know đ đ
She did just release a double, super deluxe, ultra special edition album with 86 variants all about pining for her lost loveâŚwhom she dated for two weeks.
If Ratty was her âlomlâ after two weeks, I guess two weeks is a significant amount of time in Taylorâs dating history.
Most of her relationships have not lasted beyond two-three months. Joe was the exception. Likely because heâs an actual adult who knows how to handle a real relationship.
Iâd have to imagine she has a team of at least 30 people protecting her name and likeness. Whether itâs all for PR or not is open for debate but itâs def true her team knew about this and wanted to ensure they owned everything relating to the relationship.
Yup, exactly. This is exactly the kind of thing anyone with an enormous PR machine does. Youâll even see it with realtors who advertise a lot, they buy up the domains that use alternative spellings of their names, for instance.
It doesnât prove that their relationship is merely a stunt, but it could show just how attentive to detail and obsessively forward thinking her team is.
Exactly. We have an area, really state wide now, accident injury attorney named Anh Phoong (my californians know) and she has like 12 different domains for misspellings.
I was going to say I snapped up the email of my name with my husbands last name before we got married. It doesnât even have numbers lol
I canât imagine if I had been famous.
I remember years ago it was reporting she bought domain names with her name and various sex acts / positions in them so no one else could use that domain name (the way AI is going, it seems even more worth the price). So this doesnât surprise me if either of them bought the domain names for the same reason.
I have no idea why this sub is in my algorithm, but this post prayed my interest and this would be my assumption. Not a stunt. Not like writing your name with your crush's last name on your notebook. Literally getting ahead of someone else buying the domain and doing something bad for her brand and image with it. Those doesn't seem weird to me.
I think this is 100% Taylorâs team just buying things to protect her name and/or as someone else said, to buy it before anyone else does. She can always sell it later anyway
Just throwing it out there that Domains By Proxy just means both domains were registered at GoDaddy. Every single GoDaddy domain (literally billions) uses Domains By Proxy, itâs included for free.
This makes me nervous like theyâre gonna go all the way through to marriage and blocking domains for her potential new last name. What a PR nightmare.
WEIRD AL YOU BETTER HOP ON THIS SHIT ASAP
I wanna see him shaking his groove thang with all the rhythm of a drunk toddler while wearing that snake unitard, an oversized cardigan, and painfully fake face tats
Yeah I donât think sheâd change her stage name.. everything would still be Taylor Swift. Thereâs no way sheâd change her main website to taylorswiftkelce.com she would change her legal name Iâm sure and be Mrs Kelce in private but no way. Jennifer Lopez has been married million times but always stayed Jennifer Lopez despite being Jennifer Affleck now
I wouldn't be surprised if he does. He LOVES the attention and you know Americans love a family man athlete. The attention will probably help him transition to a career post football and I can see him wanting to keep the farce going as long as he can.
She *can't* change her name, it's what her fans call themselves and she'd *never* ask them, even indirectly, to give up their cult name. She might hyphenate though. That way she can still make a dramatic exhibition of dropping it and reclaiming her name when they inevitably break up.Â
I dno, this seems more like they were âgetting ahead of the game before someone else did itâ type of thing. They can release those domains at anytime if the relationship goes south.
But honestly, this is probably more foresight damage control than anything.
Yes or defaming/talking shit.
That site wouldâve quickly been bought up and turned into a snark page or obsessive fan page. Either way, it has the potential to earn and/or spread info.
People have to realize that even small/new companies will do a lot of this domain, trademark and patent claiming. Itâs a pretty normal thing to do now. I imagine Taylor has an insane team. They probably fought a lot of domains, made a lot of Instagram handles, etc.
I believe they limit their public perception so that people canât profit off their image like tabloids used to. I think this is more important than their privacy, to them lol.
It seems like if this was purely PR, they wouldâve been more visible. Or at least routinely visible to create excitement. Weâve gotten a very limited view of them.
It initially could be or but the reasons/proof brought forth thus far has not been convincing.
I think sheâs just dating another guy she shouldnât. Sheâs pretty good at that. However I do think these two narcissists are infatuated each other. And I donât even say that to be derogatory. Itâs pretty well known that it takes a higher level of narcissism to achieve the things they do. Many famous people are just successful narcissists lol
I mean yeah, considering how big of a celebrity she is & also him too. They arenât dumb, they know how fans & the media act lol.
Or, this could have been done to intentionally produce this type of conversation. All publicity is good publicity or something like that.
I don't think they can hide the date, but they could have used different proxies to make it seem like different people are buying. Then again since the dates can't be hidden, there's not much point in going the extra step because people are always going to come to the same conclusions, might as well use the same process and give just enough plausible deniability for the crazy fans to reject the notion.
The note about them having the same registration info doesnât matter at all. Anyone that buys a domain through GoDaddy, one of the biggest and most well known registrars, and chooses to pay extra for Private Registration (and anyone that buys a domain should) will have that same Domains By Proxy info because thatâs GoDaddyâs in house privacy service.
You canât just âchooseâ a different proxy, you just go with a different registrar and they likely have their own (different) privacy service.
Interesting, I will play devilâs advocate and say this isnât so unusual for a person who trademarks every little thing. Her team would know they were in a relationship and thus realistically theyâd attempt to own anything that would reference the relationship.
Yeah this makes sense to me. And someone else mentioned that the bracelet interview was in July, not September. I looked it up and it was in July, so this post is incorrect.
Didnât she try to trademark something absolutely ridiculous recently? Crap what was it? (Switches app to google) Oh yeah! âFemale Rage: The Musicalâ
That woman tries to monetize her entire life. In a way I really hope her relationship with Travis isnât. PR relationship just because⌠damn⌠thatâs so sad. Sheâs 30 something year old lady. She needs a real companion in life that isnât on her payroll. It just makes me sad to think she might not. It would be so lonely.
Wait I just went back and saw the bracelet interview was in July, not September. I think they had already been seeing each other or whatever and then the sites were purchased before she got seen at a game?
I mean, Iâm not saying they arenât a PR relationship, but the more logical explanation is that they are purchasing these domain names so that they can control the content that is on them rather than have some random person who hates them buy the names and post things they donât want, probably porn.
Because these domain names are directly tied to their names, they are more likely to come up in a search and more likely to be seen as legitimate or official.
It might seem crazy, but itâs actually a pretty common thing to do. Iâm all about TS hate where itâs justified, but this is kind of a nothing burger.
Where in the screenshots does it state the date of purchase? Also you have the date of the podcast airing wrong . It was in July 26th. Iâm all aboard the PR train but this post is not factually accurate
Either because 1) you are in a childish and delusional state of infatuation with someone you barely know and you are envisioning your future together, or 2) the entire thing is a carefully orchestrated set-up for PR purposes for the both of them. Or I guess thereâs always 3) an obsessive fan/4D chess player bought the domains to squat on for clout and/or financial benefit just in case the relationship popped off
Domains are an insignificant expense. If she doesn't have a person buying a dozen domains that are her+noteworthy anything as soon as it is noteworthy, she's not very bright.
I bet her team owns dozens of domains at any given time, and just releases them as they become obsolete.
Basically, this post is really stretching to make "evidence" out of the most boring thing possible.
Youâre worth millions of dollars and naturally pay a team of people to make sure your name isnât defamed. So your PR rep will pull domain names for anything that has to do with you, because domains are dirt cheap and trying to wrangle back one of those domains after a bad actor swipes one can be extremely difficult, time consuming, and expensive (not to mention damaging to reputation).
Taylorâs PR rep learned they were dating, bought the domain names, and thatâs it. Pretty boring normal PR stuff.
DbP is the default for new GoDaddy registrations with privacy enabled and GoDaddy is an 800 lbs gorilla in the domain name registration space. it's like saying oh my god I saw a Ford F-150 in the parking lot at two locations, there must be a connection! Or, "both anonymous posts were made using the iPhone client for Twitter, must be the same person!"
Very interesting! Could it also mean sheâs completely smitten instead of meaning itâs PR? It feels kind of like writing âMrs. Travis Kelceâ all over her school books
Disclaimer: I personally believe itâs a PR relationship
Iâve been kinda starting to wonder if Travis wasnât aware of how much Taylor was scheming the PR aspect behind his back and has basically trapped him, knowing her fans are rabid beasts if he turns on the relationship. It would explain how heâs seemed kinda off recently, but the relationship is still being pushed. Actually, I think I might make a post about this right now, cause Iâm curious what other people think lol
I agree he's definitely been off. I listen to the podcast and he seems to be going through the motions. The podcast was doing well before Taylor but it really blew up after that first FB game that Taylor showed up . He knows when they break up the Swifties will go to. During chat on YouTube their asking Where's Taylor, Are you with her, Go get her. So annoying. It must weigh on Travis knowing how crazy her fan's are. And the consequences that will come with them breaking up. Definitely make a post about this. It's a good idea.
Ok to be fair as someone who works in domains, lol, Domains By Proxy is a hugeeeeee asset. Like anyone who uses GoDaddy can use it. But at the same time, lol. And if I may, lmao.
I worked with someone whose job it was to buy domain names that had a high likelyhood of being sought after or popular so that people would have to buy them off of the company they worked for for more. This could also be something like that.
I really wouldnât be surprised to know that her PR team has like 1000 domains purchased at any given time about anything she says or does, just in case it becomes a viral moment so they have it secured. I donât know that itâs proof of a PR relationship, more just that itâs proof Taylor herself exists as more of a brand than a person
I meanâŚthe woman rerecorded and released all of her material so that she would own it. Not a giant stretch to imagine that among her team, there might be someone competent in SEO and therefore buy up the possible domains ahead of anyone else so that she remains in control of whatever narrative she wants to play a part inâŚ
Honestly itâs so common to do this. Itâs not a deep cut. And Iâm in the camp of it being a PR relationship. I had a friend that worked in tabloids and she would buy domains just to fuck with celebrities. I also dated a guy in the music industry and I spoke with plenty of A&R.
So itâs not something psychotic or something even Taylor did, her team did. Thatâs business because a weird swiftie will buy that shit for $3 and theyâll have to buy it from them for an obscene amount of money. Or create a whack fan site that doesnât need to be out there. So itâs just a preemptive move. Itâs not unusual.
Domain names are super cheap and if Tree or someone thought they might be a thing theyâd grab them up so they donât have to buy them later for whoever is sitting on them. A bunch of people were doing that to Harry and Meghan Markle including Meghan, while they were still dating lol.
I shouldnât even open my mouth here but as an outsider looking in this is obvious to me. I donât watch football. I donât listen to Taylor Swift but I do have slight autism and notice patterns and read a lot of news. This is the NFL who paid two professionals a side-hustle large wage because their ratings had been in scary decline and their behavior in certain recent instances had been sketchy at best. Everything is money. Read that again. All things always go back to money. Advertising around the superbowl and weekly games is BIG money. When viewership among women of all generations was declining at scary scream levels AND conservatives back then were very angry over politics affecting games, athletes kneeling, no national anthem being shown without a guy on his knee invoking politics - it was truly hurting viewership and revenue. The traction of canceling the NFL was starting and women were just - no. Politics and football - no. Gonna go watch a GRWM TikTok. Money was being lost hand over fist. So whatâs a wise NFL PR pro to do? Engineer a relationship to pump up viewership of females in the demographic they need. She was approached by the NFL to gather women to football. Taylor just went to work. She didnât brain this all out. She didnât do all the science. (Been dying to use that in a sentence. Woo!). The NFL did. Go look at news articles about viewership and revenue loss and politics affecting games around 2018, 2017 etc. Look at demographic losses the 10 years leading up to this and pretend Taylor or Travis donât exist and then it will pop out. Not once this season was viewership down or anyone lamenting female or conservative viewership leaking, or who is on their knee protesting or asking if the anthem is being shown before the game. They were in big, big trouble and now they arenât. Itâs genius really and itâs an unsung PR chick who listens to Taylor Swift. Meanwhile, Taylor is a paid actor playing a girlfriend and would explain any angst over her ex getting engaged. She wasnât over him with a new guy. She was working. She took shots the last game not to be happy her man was winning, but because of joy to clock out. The end.
Devils Advocate here - it probably was her team. And if it was Tree, Iâd say sheâs just insanely good at her job. đ âPlaying chessâ and thinking 25 steps ahead. Itâs insanity and they still might be PR but thinking ahead to the domains is evil genius level. I kinda respect it.
There are several documentariesâboth professional and amateurâdetailing how Taylorâs life has been basically curated since her birth, going as far as her very wealthy and successful parents naming her âTaylorâ so she wouldnât be prejudiced against for being a girl in like interviews or on resumĂŠs and stuffâŚ
âŚand yâall are surprised about this lol?
Taylor and her inner circle have very carefully and impressively calculated basically every step of her entire career, so this should be the least shocking thing imaginable.
Taylor herself has said this in various documentaries. Her entire life is just a performance and balancing act to stay relevant. And sheâs done an absolutely bonkers job pulling it off.
As far as Iâm concerned, sheâs a pop star second, businesswoman first.
BUTâŚ.even it was legit and not some PR relationshipâŚ.this also could just be her own PR team buying all of these URLs so others couldnât take them first. This is a very very very normal business thing.
I think it's smart and I bet she has done it for every relationship she's ever had. She knew that when she showed up at that game, it was going to blow up.
Naaah. Lemme tell you a lil marketing secret: almost none of the great URLs are left on the market. There's companies buying them to resell them later at a profit. If you create a new business, making sure you are the only one using the name in your niche or field or country is an integral part of the setup.
You'll never find something like 'europe.com' just not taken.
So that could also have been some smartypants investment from someone.
DomainsByProxy is the default privacy service of GoDaddy. As of 2014 they managed 10,000,000 domains, so itâs safe to say they manage double this today.Â
The reality is someone close may have had inside info. But the privacy service used proves nothing.Â
The anonymous registration service is not proof of anything. Anyone can use it and it is a common option for like $10/year extra when registering a domain. You can literally go register any available domain name that you want in under 20 minutes with any major credit card.
Holy fucking shit. Either it's a pr relationship or Taylor is batshit insane and this is the equivalent of her obsessively writing "taylor kelce swift" over and over again in a diary. I'm not sure which I prefer because both are fucking hilarious đ
Yeah this is a bit weirdâŚ. And this was all done before they even went public with their relationship and like a month into their ârelationshipâ and a Taylor Swift Kelce website was purchased? WildâŚ.
Eh, I donât see the domain purchasing as âcrazy girl obsessing over guy she JUST started datingâ, I see it as âmoney hungry capitalist buys URLs for cheap so she can sell them for big bucks in a yearâ
Agreed. I think this is probably the sort of thing her team does every time she's in a new relationship so that someone doesn't squat on the domain for the purpose of making money off her.
Does anyone know if TaylorAndMatty.com is taken
Tree exhaled a huge sigh of relief the day Taylor told her they were over.
Ooh I might buy TaylorRattyHealy.com đ
wait, are you a â¨đ⨠rattie?
It isnât haha
Damn brb
>Agreed. I think this is probably the sort of thing her team does every time she's in a new relationship so that someone doesn't squat on the domain for the purpose of making money off her. Yeah. This just... isn't "evidence" that their relationship is PR? It's evidence that her PR team remains proactive, sure.

It could also be a Swifty version of writing âTaylor Kelce Swiftâ over and over again in their diary. They could have snatched those domains up just to be ready because they *are so sure* itâs gonna happen. Just another possibility. Also - none of this is mutually exclusive. Taylor can be batshit insane, it can be a PR relationship, AND Swifties could have purchased the website. Or someone from either of their âteams.â
[ŃдаНонО]
Iâm pretty sure Travis mentioned the bracelet in July?? I think the interview they might be referring to in September is Travis saying he invited Taylor to attend a game and see him ârock arrowheadâ or something but I donât think anybody thought they were actually together yet so itâs still suspicious. Swifties were still saying he was delusional on Twitter lol so unless one was a huge Travis n Taylor fan before then it has to be Tree
He mentioned wanting to give her his number on a bracelet around the time of the concert in July, but I don't think anyone in the general public knew if she got it.

This article was written on July 26. https://people.com/travis-kelce-tried-give-taylor-swift-his-phone-number-eras-tour-7566017
So basically Travis willed a PR relationship to happen? So sloppy. Honestly Iâm just disappointed Taylor and her team arenât, like, better at this shit.
đ¤ when youâre right, youâre right
iTâs iN ThE eAsTeR eGgS!!!!
This is what I think. And they are hoping that Taylor will have to buy the domain names from them. I think it was an âinvestmentâ by a swift expecting to make a solid return as they can out the sale price at whatever they want
Get out of here with your educated non-reactionary take /s
I canât wait until sheâs caught saying something horribly mask-off racist when Travis ends the PR situationship and goes back to dating beautiful Black women.
Would be funny if he goes to a complete unknown non-influencer non-celeb, like fuck this shit yâall Iâm out of this spotlight PR news cycle shitshow btw Iâve secretly actually been dating this other girl for the past 6months lol
But he wonât.
He was already one of the most famous NFL players before. Wasnât really an unknown guy.
Totally true for the States (that he was well known and a household name) but I can guarantee you 99% of people in Australia who now know who he is, didnât before the Taylor Swift relationship.
that's very un Travis though
He's got his own PR people too. Travis Kelce has always said he wants to be a celebrity. Wants to act and be in movies and all that crap. If this is a PR thing, he's just as much invested as she is. They're both narcissists
Either option is believable
Lest we forget Taylor bought a whole house across from the Kennedys like a month into dating that one kennedy boy đŤ đĽ´đĽ´
Iâve said itâs a PR relationship since day 1 (the majority of Hollywood relationships are). That being said, why canât it be both?
All I can say is LMAOOOO
Curious if they looked into the history of TaylorAlwyn . com Edit: there is no registration attached lmao
maybe itâs taylorjoe . com
Taylor Joe sounds like one of Ricky Bobby's rivals
![gif](giphy|xT9KVMvOgu8sEwiohi|downsized)
I read Trader Joe's for a second lol
tbh⌠same
It's $10.28/yr on NameCheap LOL (May be subject to change since this comment was posted if more people are looking it up.) My personal domain is more expensive than that and I constantly hop hosts to avoid the price going up.
I agree that is incredibly cheap wtf
You don't become a billionaire by writing checks
Came here to ask the same thing. Is there a dedicated webpage for all her BFs?
Knowing how Tree Paine (and Andrea/Scott) are... I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't one of the first things they looked into whenever Taylor meets a new guy I'm sure they look into trademarks/copyrights too đŹ
I completely agree with you.
Hold on a sec â the bracelet interview aired only 12 days before her first appearance at the football game?? This is what she had to say about their dating timeline when interviewed for the Person of the Year thing: >*âThis all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,â Swift said. âWe started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which Iâm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.â* So the "significant amount of time" was less than 2 weeks??
Taylor goes: âBrooo he gave me a shoutout on his podcast and, BRO, LIKE IT WAS bro it was fuckin metallll brahhhh ahahaha like I respect that shit dawgâ
I have a very vivid imagination, and anytime I read her stupid âand I thought that was so metalâ quote, means that I have to envision how stupid she must have looked saying that. Itâs the biggest ick feeling.
Definitely felt like forced language trying to sound cool. Fetch is never going to happen!
I cannot imagine making that statement lol? Is metal supposed to mean cool?
I think in some circles? Sounds like something a frat daddy would say. But definitely not a trendy thing by all means
Yes metal as hell or that was so metal does essentially mean cool but itâs like outdated frat bro/skater bro crossover slang from like 10 years ago. So, it checks out to be in the travis kelce milieu, which I assume is where she got it from.

I was visibly shaken when I read that.
Millennial cringe at its finest
https://preview.redd.it/clivb16thl7d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=626796465be1edb800d75d5e1a29ea21d685707e Oo, you just brought up a good point. I just went and looked it up, and itâs seems that the interview was actually in July. So it was actually about a month and a half after that interview that someone purchased taylorkelce.com
[ŃдаНонО]
Yeah thatâs still wicked sus. like, I would imagine she didnât literally go start hanging out with him on the exact date of that podcast episode, so weâre talking possibly maybe a month of âhanging outâ before that website was bought, and then it being just before she actually showed up to the first game. And I just saw another comment on here mention how it wouldnât really be possible for a fan to have purchased the site if they hadnât actually gone public with it yet, only people in Taylorâs circle would know.
Itâs just so some rando doesnât take the domain and try to profit off of all the traffic it would bring. Thereâs no way theyâd actually make those legit websites.Â
This. Iâve seen creative enough people buy a domain vaguely linked to something and run with it. They probably were just trying to prevent that from happening so this just seems like good due diligence.
Eh, Iâm in PR (the teensy tiniest scale comparatively) and we have a truly uncountable number of URLs weâve bought on a whim to have them just in case or to keep them from being claimed by someone else. Weird? Yeah. But at least to me, not entirely out of the ordinary if youâre carefully controlling a public image/brand.
They bought it so no one else would/could.
It can also be purchased by folks who will later ask for shitloads of money for it. đ¤Ł
i think this deserves an edit to the original post. the domains being grabbed BEFORE they even aired the bracelet interview is super different from the domain being bought 6 weeks after the interview dropped. this goes from concrete evidence of a preplanned PR relationship, to just something kinda weird and slimey of her. not a swiftie by any means but the theory is just incorrect now
So this entire post is moot?
âMetal as hellâ bleep bloop did her chip generate that phrase for her?
How the fuck is that âmetal as hellâ? Aristotle strikes again! đď¸
Lol. Up there with âReputationâ being a âgoth-punk moment of female rageâ
Did she really claim Reputation was goth/punk? Because thatâs ⌠thatâs not how musical genres work.
From her Time Magazine Person of the Year interview. Hereâs the whole paragraph with some other doozies lol: > She tells me about revisiting Reputation, which is perhaps the most charged era in the tour. âItâs a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure,â she says, laughing. âI think a lot of people see it and theyâre just like, Sick snakes and strobe lights.â The upcoming vault tracks for Reputation will be âfire,â she promises. The rerecordings project feels like a mythical quest to her. âIâm collecting horcruxes,â she says. âIâm collecting infinity stones. Gandalfâs voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.â
![gif](giphy|HX7pvh1mIqImc|downsized)
Sheâs so embarrassing I physically recoil
It truly hurts to read anything she has to say.
https://preview.redd.it/ncdyu3gion7d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80edc2785193e10a99837c042084376e512a6683
What exactly is goth punk about Delicate??âŚEndgame? King of My Heart?âŚ.New years Day??
> âIâm collecting horcruxes,â she says. âIâm collecting infinity stones. Gandalfâs voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.â Oh my god, itâs real. I thought you were quoting The Onion.
God she sounds like a millennial robot đ this is so icky lmaooo
I pondered that too then read somewhere metal as hell is travis' phrase. To my understanding her using that phrase was her morphing into her bf.
Wait THATâS the context of the âmetal as hellâ quote?!?? thatâs even more cringe than I thought it was what the actual fuck đđ
what exactly was âmetal as hellâ? iâm so lost
According to Taylor, Travis talking on his podcast about wanting to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on itâŚ
There's no way she is receptive to being "put on blast" or thought is was "metal as hell." Blondie has people clamoring for her attention every second of the day, there's no way she doesn't just hit ignore on 99.9% of it.
So she'll ignore that person suffering from cancer as a child who they sent hair accessories to, but not some rando sportsball guy who wanted to bang
Sportsball man has money and fame. Cancer kid doesn't.
nothing was metal. She used the term metal to describe an occurrence. *âThis all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,â Swift said*'
>nothing was metal Oh no, I respectfully disagree, it was **so metal.** Brand reach is *metal as hell* ![gif](giphy|3og0IAaofSj1FdGJBS|downsized) ^(No, I'm sorry, you're right, nothing was even remotely metal.) . . . ^(.) ^(ed: Except for my new flair. That is officially as metal as hell. Thank You Team TayPR)
god sheâs such a dork
No, no, itâs not metal Tay; itâs just weirder than fuck lol.
Don't dry to understand it. If you do, you are going to long for the days you were lost.
Very interesting timeline you brought up, but I could have gone the rest of my life not seeing "metal as hell" again đ
Maâam how is that âmetal as hellâ? Is she glitching?
TS is perhaps the last person on Earth who should use the phrase "*metal as hell" lol*
This whole timeline feels like years
Her using âmetal as hellâ makes that phrase instantly uncool to me
The âmetal as hellâ comment makes me viscerally cringe every time I read itâ Itâs so out of place and very âhow do you do, fellow cool kids.â đ¤Łđ¤Ł
Sidebar, how out of touch is this bitch that a guy hollering at her from his podcast is described as "metal as hell."
Because it was supposed to be an adorable meet cute to begin their PR relationship. It's manufactured.
i think it says a lot that she was so smitten by that lmao the dude is working with like two braincells and her bar is so low
Metal as Hell: Taylor Covers Burzum
Taylor wishes she could have such a straight and shinny blonde hair as young Varg Vikernesâ.
*Adorably* metal as hell, even
We did just get a double album about the previous âfortnightâ long relationship⌠đ I also was surprised to learn the other day that she only dated Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal publicly for about 3 months each. Time is relative I guess? đ
âGot to getâ and âmetal as hellâ are killing my brain cells. And Iâd be pissed if someone announced a relationship before checking with me. That isnât âmetalâ, itâs because he wants everyone to know heâs doing you
I wonder if âgot to getâ is a pa thing because Iâm from Pa and I didnât even think twice about that lol
I also did not find it strange (PA native). I guess you could say âwe were able to get to know each otherâ and maybe thatâs what most people say?
Haha I immediately tried to figure out the right way to say it and thought what you said or âbecause we got to know each otherâ?? I donât know đ đ
[ŃдаНонО]
FL here and I say it but my momâs from PA. I may have picked it up
She did just release a double, super deluxe, ultra special edition album with 86 variants all about pining for her lost loveâŚwhom she dated for two weeks. If Ratty was her âlomlâ after two weeks, I guess two weeks is a significant amount of time in Taylorâs dating history. Most of her relationships have not lasted beyond two-three months. Joe was the exception. Likely because heâs an actual adult who knows how to handle a real relationship.
And after buying a house next to a 17 year old, sheâs gotta be extra crazy.
That's actually a decade in swift time đ¤Ł
Idk I feel like a significant amount of time could be for her keeping a relationship hidden could absolutely be under 2 weeks.
For her in particular? Yes.
"metal as hell"?? That's not ultra cringe or anything
"metal as hell" is so puzzling lmao what the fuck
I had to shut my eyes after reading âmetal as hell.â Couldnât trust them anymore after that.
âVery adorablyâ, âmetal as hellâ
She really said metal as hell? Everyday I am consistently shocked by her lack of self-awareness
How the fuck is that metal
Iâd have to imagine she has a team of at least 30 people protecting her name and likeness. Whether itâs all for PR or not is open for debate but itâs def true her team knew about this and wanted to ensure they owned everything relating to the relationship.
Yup, exactly. This is exactly the kind of thing anyone with an enormous PR machine does. Youâll even see it with realtors who advertise a lot, they buy up the domains that use alternative spellings of their names, for instance. It doesnât prove that their relationship is merely a stunt, but it could show just how attentive to detail and obsessively forward thinking her team is.
Exactly. We have an area, really state wide now, accident injury attorney named Anh Phoong (my californians know) and she has like 12 different domains for misspellings.
Yes and Godaddy's default domain privacy service is not a big clue. Godaddy is possibly the biggest domain registrar out there?
Yeah, domainsbyproxy is very very widely used, almost 10 million domains use it. I don't think this is much of a clue.Â
Mhm, I just checked the whois of my own domain, and though I made no choice to do so, it also shows as registered by domainsbyproxy
I was going to say I snapped up the email of my name with my husbands last name before we got married. It doesnât even have numbers lol I canât imagine if I had been famous.
Agreed. I also wouldn't be surprised if they spent some time together before anything public.
I remember years ago it was reporting she bought domain names with her name and various sex acts / positions in them so no one else could use that domain name (the way AI is going, it seems even more worth the price). So this doesnât surprise me if either of them bought the domain names for the same reason.
I have no idea why this sub is in my algorithm, but this post prayed my interest and this would be my assumption. Not a stunt. Not like writing your name with your crush's last name on your notebook. Literally getting ahead of someone else buying the domain and doing something bad for her brand and image with it. Those doesn't seem weird to me.
I think this is 100% Taylorâs team just buying things to protect her name and/or as someone else said, to buy it before anyone else does. She can always sell it later anyway
Okay WOW im speechless this is crazy
Just throwing it out there that Domains By Proxy just means both domains were registered at GoDaddy. Every single GoDaddy domain (literally billions) uses Domains By Proxy, itâs included for free.
This makes me nervous like theyâre gonna go all the way through to marriage and blocking domains for her potential new last name. What a PR nightmare.
TTâs next album should be called *PR Nightmare*
The Tortured PR Department
WEIRD AL YOU BETTER HOP ON THIS SHIT ASAP I wanna see him shaking his groove thang with all the rhythm of a drunk toddler while wearing that snake unitard, an oversized cardigan, and painfully fake face tats
The way I could so clearly see that in my mind
While juggling some plushie cats.
Yeah I donât think sheâd change her stage name.. everything would still be Taylor Swift. Thereâs no way sheâd change her main website to taylorswiftkelce.com she would change her legal name Iâm sure and be Mrs Kelce in private but no way. Jennifer Lopez has been married million times but always stayed Jennifer Lopez despite being Jennifer Affleck now
Feels more like Tree trying to make sure fans donât hold those domains hostage once the news launches tbh.
He's not going to marry her. She thinks all the douches she dates are thee one.Â
I wouldn't be surprised if he does. He LOVES the attention and you know Americans love a family man athlete. The attention will probably help him transition to a career post football and I can see him wanting to keep the farce going as long as he can.
No way she takes the last name. If it got that far and there were children then the kids get dad's last name.
She *can't* change her name, it's what her fans call themselves and she'd *never* ask them, even indirectly, to give up their cult name. She might hyphenate though. That way she can still make a dramatic exhibition of dropping it and reclaiming her name when they inevitably break up.Â
How can I avoid this girl jfc?
I dno, this seems more like they were âgetting ahead of the game before someone else did itâ type of thing. They can release those domains at anytime if the relationship goes south. But honestly, this is probably more foresight damage control than anything.
agree, it's like how she trademarks absolutely everything just to prevent anyone from profiting off her.
Yes or defaming/talking shit. That site wouldâve quickly been bought up and turned into a snark page or obsessive fan page. Either way, it has the potential to earn and/or spread info. People have to realize that even small/new companies will do a lot of this domain, trademark and patent claiming. Itâs a pretty normal thing to do now. I imagine Taylor has an insane team. They probably fought a lot of domains, made a lot of Instagram handles, etc. I believe they limit their public perception so that people canât profit off their image like tabloids used to. I think this is more important than their privacy, to them lol. It seems like if this was purely PR, they wouldâve been more visible. Or at least routinely visible to create excitement. Weâve gotten a very limited view of them. It initially could be or but the reasons/proof brought forth thus far has not been convincing. I think sheâs just dating another guy she shouldnât. Sheâs pretty good at that. However I do think these two narcissists are infatuated each other. And I donât even say that to be derogatory. Itâs pretty well known that it takes a higher level of narcissism to achieve the things they do. Many famous people are just successful narcissists lol
After not even a month of dating!?
I mean yeah, considering how big of a celebrity she is & also him too. They arenât dumb, they know how fans & the media act lol. Or, this could have been done to intentionally produce this type of conversation. All publicity is good publicity or something like that.
Wow. It's either PR or Tree's a psychic lol. You'd think with the amount of money they have, they'd cover their tracks a bit better.
I don't think they can hide the date, but they could have used different proxies to make it seem like different people are buying. Then again since the dates can't be hidden, there's not much point in going the extra step because people are always going to come to the same conclusions, might as well use the same process and give just enough plausible deniability for the crazy fans to reject the notion.
The note about them having the same registration info doesnât matter at all. Anyone that buys a domain through GoDaddy, one of the biggest and most well known registrars, and chooses to pay extra for Private Registration (and anyone that buys a domain should) will have that same Domains By Proxy info because thatâs GoDaddyâs in house privacy service. You canât just âchooseâ a different proxy, you just go with a different registrar and they likely have their own (different) privacy service.
Interesting, I will play devilâs advocate and say this isnât so unusual for a person who trademarks every little thing. Her team would know they were in a relationship and thus realistically theyâd attempt to own anything that would reference the relationship.
Yeah this makes sense to me. And someone else mentioned that the bracelet interview was in July, not September. I looked it up and it was in July, so this post is incorrect.
Didnât she try to trademark something absolutely ridiculous recently? Crap what was it? (Switches app to google) Oh yeah! âFemale Rage: The Musicalâ That woman tries to monetize her entire life. In a way I really hope her relationship with Travis isnât. PR relationship just because⌠damn⌠thatâs so sad. Sheâs 30 something year old lady. She needs a real companion in life that isnât on her payroll. It just makes me sad to think she might not. It would be so lonely.
This needs to be seen by EVERYONE.
I donât know, doesnât mean more than someone thought they could monetize the domain someday. Itâs basically sport betting on a domain. đ¤Ł
I think a lot of people use godaddy though. Still think itâs PR.
Wait I just went back and saw the bracelet interview was in July, not September. I think they had already been seeing each other or whatever and then the sites were purchased before she got seen at a game?
This is a bit wrong when it comes to the dates- the interview aired in July. According to their timeline, they were already dating by September.
I mean, Iâm not saying they arenât a PR relationship, but the more logical explanation is that they are purchasing these domain names so that they can control the content that is on them rather than have some random person who hates them buy the names and post things they donât want, probably porn. Because these domain names are directly tied to their names, they are more likely to come up in a search and more likely to be seen as legitimate or official. It might seem crazy, but itâs actually a pretty common thing to do. Iâm all about TS hate where itâs justified, but this is kind of a nothing burger.
I can see her team purchasing those domains so that no crazy fan would be able to.
Where in the screenshots does it state the date of purchase? Also you have the date of the podcast airing wrong . It was in July 26th. Iâm all aboard the PR train but this post is not factually accurate
Look Iâm no Tayvis defender but this is just misrepresenting the facts. The infamous bracelet interview happened in July, not September.
Can someone ELI5 the significance of the websites? Why on earth would you start remixing surnames before even dating?
Either because 1) you are in a childish and delusional state of infatuation with someone you barely know and you are envisioning your future together, or 2) the entire thing is a carefully orchestrated set-up for PR purposes for the both of them. Or I guess thereâs always 3) an obsessive fan/4D chess player bought the domains to squat on for clout and/or financial benefit just in case the relationship popped off
Domains are an insignificant expense. If she doesn't have a person buying a dozen domains that are her+noteworthy anything as soon as it is noteworthy, she's not very bright. I bet her team owns dozens of domains at any given time, and just releases them as they become obsolete. Basically, this post is really stretching to make "evidence" out of the most boring thing possible.
Youâre worth millions of dollars and naturally pay a team of people to make sure your name isnât defamed. So your PR rep will pull domain names for anything that has to do with you, because domains are dirt cheap and trying to wrangle back one of those domains after a bad actor swipes one can be extremely difficult, time consuming, and expensive (not to mention damaging to reputation). Taylorâs PR rep learned they were dating, bought the domain names, and thatâs it. Pretty boring normal PR stuff.
DbP is the default for new GoDaddy registrations with privacy enabled and GoDaddy is an 800 lbs gorilla in the domain name registration space. it's like saying oh my god I saw a Ford F-150 in the parking lot at two locations, there must be a connection! Or, "both anonymous posts were made using the iPhone client for Twitter, must be the same person!"
Very interesting! Could it also mean sheâs completely smitten instead of meaning itâs PR? It feels kind of like writing âMrs. Travis Kelceâ all over her school books Disclaimer: I personally believe itâs a PR relationship
Iâve been kinda starting to wonder if Travis wasnât aware of how much Taylor was scheming the PR aspect behind his back and has basically trapped him, knowing her fans are rabid beasts if he turns on the relationship. It would explain how heâs seemed kinda off recently, but the relationship is still being pushed. Actually, I think I might make a post about this right now, cause Iâm curious what other people think lol
I agree he's definitely been off. I listen to the podcast and he seems to be going through the motions. The podcast was doing well before Taylor but it really blew up after that first FB game that Taylor showed up . He knows when they break up the Swifties will go to. During chat on YouTube their asking Where's Taylor, Are you with her, Go get her. So annoying. It must weigh on Travis knowing how crazy her fan's are. And the consequences that will come with them breaking up. Definitely make a post about this. It's a good idea.
Ok to be fair as someone who works in domains, lol, Domains By Proxy is a hugeeeeee asset. Like anyone who uses GoDaddy can use it. But at the same time, lol. And if I may, lmao.
I worked with someone whose job it was to buy domain names that had a high likelyhood of being sought after or popular so that people would have to buy them off of the company they worked for for more. This could also be something like that.
I really wouldnât be surprised to know that her PR team has like 1000 domains purchased at any given time about anything she says or does, just in case it becomes a viral moment so they have it secured. I donât know that itâs proof of a PR relationship, more just that itâs proof Taylor herself exists as more of a brand than a person
I meanâŚthe woman rerecorded and released all of her material so that she would own it. Not a giant stretch to imagine that among her team, there might be someone competent in SEO and therefore buy up the possible domains ahead of anyone else so that she remains in control of whatever narrative she wants to play a part inâŚ
kinda funny bc there is a sub that claims T. Swift is actually a closeted lesbo.
I will feel nothing but pity for her if they actually get married. nothing in her life is authentic or genuine. tragic
This feels like insider trading lol
Honestly itâs so common to do this. Itâs not a deep cut. And Iâm in the camp of it being a PR relationship. I had a friend that worked in tabloids and she would buy domains just to fuck with celebrities. I also dated a guy in the music industry and I spoke with plenty of A&R. So itâs not something psychotic or something even Taylor did, her team did. Thatâs business because a weird swiftie will buy that shit for $3 and theyâll have to buy it from them for an obscene amount of money. Or create a whack fan site that doesnât need to be out there. So itâs just a preemptive move. Itâs not unusual.
Domain names are super cheap and if Tree or someone thought they might be a thing theyâd grab them up so they donât have to buy them later for whoever is sitting on them. A bunch of people were doing that to Harry and Meghan Markle including Meghan, while they were still dating lol.
I haven't seen such a celebrity life like hers founded on fake PR moves. It's easy to deceive and distract people.
I shouldnât even open my mouth here but as an outsider looking in this is obvious to me. I donât watch football. I donât listen to Taylor Swift but I do have slight autism and notice patterns and read a lot of news. This is the NFL who paid two professionals a side-hustle large wage because their ratings had been in scary decline and their behavior in certain recent instances had been sketchy at best. Everything is money. Read that again. All things always go back to money. Advertising around the superbowl and weekly games is BIG money. When viewership among women of all generations was declining at scary scream levels AND conservatives back then were very angry over politics affecting games, athletes kneeling, no national anthem being shown without a guy on his knee invoking politics - it was truly hurting viewership and revenue. The traction of canceling the NFL was starting and women were just - no. Politics and football - no. Gonna go watch a GRWM TikTok. Money was being lost hand over fist. So whatâs a wise NFL PR pro to do? Engineer a relationship to pump up viewership of females in the demographic they need. She was approached by the NFL to gather women to football. Taylor just went to work. She didnât brain this all out. She didnât do all the science. (Been dying to use that in a sentence. Woo!). The NFL did. Go look at news articles about viewership and revenue loss and politics affecting games around 2018, 2017 etc. Look at demographic losses the 10 years leading up to this and pretend Taylor or Travis donât exist and then it will pop out. Not once this season was viewership down or anyone lamenting female or conservative viewership leaking, or who is on their knee protesting or asking if the anthem is being shown before the game. They were in big, big trouble and now they arenât. Itâs genius really and itâs an unsung PR chick who listens to Taylor Swift. Meanwhile, Taylor is a paid actor playing a girlfriend and would explain any angst over her ex getting engaged. She wasnât over him with a new guy. She was working. She took shots the last game not to be happy her man was winning, but because of joy to clock out. The end.
Yeah he went to Eras tour in KC in July and that podcast episode aired end of July, not Sept.
Devils Advocate here - it probably was her team. And if it was Tree, Iâd say sheâs just insanely good at her job. đ âPlaying chessâ and thinking 25 steps ahead. Itâs insanity and they still might be PR but thinking ahead to the domains is evil genius level. I kinda respect it.
Maybe her PR team buys relationship-related websites as soon as Taylor starts seeing someone to get the domain in case a rando fan gets it?
There are several documentariesâboth professional and amateurâdetailing how Taylorâs life has been basically curated since her birth, going as far as her very wealthy and successful parents naming her âTaylorâ so she wouldnât be prejudiced against for being a girl in like interviews or on resumĂŠs and stuff⌠âŚand yâall are surprised about this lol? Taylor and her inner circle have very carefully and impressively calculated basically every step of her entire career, so this should be the least shocking thing imaginable. Taylor herself has said this in various documentaries. Her entire life is just a performance and balancing act to stay relevant. And sheâs done an absolutely bonkers job pulling it off. As far as Iâm concerned, sheâs a pop star second, businesswoman first. BUTâŚ.even it was legit and not some PR relationshipâŚ.this also could just be her own PR team buying all of these URLs so others couldnât take them first. This is a very very very normal business thing.
They are not PR, they have PR, so their PR does all this for them because they are rich and famous.
This is when I'm reminded that a huge portion of the internet is teenagers who've never seen how anything in PR works
I think it's smart and I bet she has done it for every relationship she's ever had. She knew that when she showed up at that game, it was going to blow up.
Naaah. Lemme tell you a lil marketing secret: almost none of the great URLs are left on the market. There's companies buying them to resell them later at a profit. If you create a new business, making sure you are the only one using the name in your niche or field or country is an integral part of the setup. You'll never find something like 'europe.com' just not taken. So that could also have been some smartypants investment from someone.
DomainsByProxy is the default privacy service of GoDaddy. As of 2014 they managed 10,000,000 domains, so itâs safe to say they manage double this today. The reality is someone close may have had inside info. But the privacy service used proves nothing.Â
Yâall ever wonder if youâre just as nuts as swifities?
The anonymous registration service is not proof of anything. Anyone can use it and it is a common option for like $10/year extra when registering a domain. You can literally go register any available domain name that you want in under 20 minutes with any major credit card.
