Breaking News:Not even Taylor Swift can escape the pressure to get married
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce only began dating in the summer but already speculation among fans over whether they’ll get engaged is reaching fever pitch.
The rumors reached their peak as Kelce prepared for the Kansas City Chiefs to take home the Super Bowl Ring– and some fans hoped the athlete would have a ring of his own for Swift following the win.
Swift is not the only celebrity to have faced excited fans looking for a wedding sooner than later. Swift and Kelce are both 34, and neither have been engaged or married yet. But fans have closely followed Swift’s relationships since she was a teenager and have been there for the dating and the breakups.
“The eternally optimist in me is saying that consumers idealize marriage and want the best for the celebrities,” said Kate Kurtin, a professor of communication studies at California State University in Los Angeles, via email. “The cynic in me is saying that consumers feel an entitlement to know details about celebrities’ lives and ‘get the scoop’ and see all the pictures and marriage is the next demand they are placing on Swift and Kelce.”
When celebrities break up, especially Swift, fans tend to take it hard. That’s particularly true for those in a parasocial relationship with the star. That’s a one-sided relationship with a celebrity that is not a friendship but can feel like one, Kurtin said, who has studied the phenomenon.
As for Swift and Kelce, they are the only ones who can see what goes on behind closed doors within their relationship.
And while fans are longing to see that fairy tale wedding for Swift, and as many people do for their friends and family, the question of marriage is only for the partners to discuss, Sloan said.
As Swift might say, you (and we) need to calm down.

Taylor Swift is a BILLIONAIRE. She’s not at the grocery store having to decide whether to feed her family or pay her mortgage. She’s not at the gas pump deciding if she can fill her tank only half full or full. While she’s flying her private jets, you’re struggling to gas up your car and get to work. It’s no surprise that she’s “ok” with 4 more years of this. Let that sink in.

My brother lives outside of Charlotte. He sent me these photos today from the Harris rally. I asked him to clarify some things… 1. He was not paid to attend. (In fact, he took time off work to go.) 2. No bus picked him up. He drove his own vehicle. 3. Upon arriving three hours before the scheduled start, they had to walk some distance just to find the back of the line. They snapped picture 3 from their place in line. The arena is *way* back there to the right. 1/2
