But not quite.
So, I was reading through the comments on a Facebook post about them, and so many men were saying how Kelce should make sure he is the one who breaks up with her because it would be "king energy" and a "big power move"--things of that nature. It really struck something with me because I have never been the one to end any of the committed relationships I have had with men. They always broke up with me in the coldest fashion, and I have never heard from any of them again. I have always been good at upholding my boundaries and expectations, and have always contributed my failed relationships to simply the men having their masks slip and no longer being willing or able to meet my standards. But, I think it might go deeper than that. Men love to bring successful women down. They love to feel like they have the upperhand. It makes them feel powerful. It makes them feel like a man. Women with low self esteem will tolerate their abuse throughout the relationship, but women with more healthy self esteem? Women who know what they will and will not put up with? Those women will not tolerate abuse in a relationship, so the men eventually get triggered. They cannot tolerate a woman taking away his "power," his "manhood." So, he tries to put her in her place by harshly breaking up with her. That'll show her to stop having self esteem! She will wonder what she did wrong and question her worth, especially if she was with someone below her league (almost always the case). Then maybe, the next time around, she will have learned to lower her standards or no one will want to stay with her. She learns to settle for crumbs because she doesn't want to be abandoned again and again.
I don't know anything about Taylor and Travis' relationship. Has it even been confirmed? It's so enraging to me that men will already be encouraging its demise as some sort of power play when they don't even know the relationship dynamics or anything about them as individuals, other than what is portrayed in the media. What if they are happy together? What if it's the best relationship Kelce has ever had? Doesn't matter to them. Trying to take away the power of a powerful woman is what matters to them, because it's what they feel gives them more power.
Don't let men take away your power. Never lower your standards. If you do, you have everything to lose, and men have everything to gain from it.
I have never had a song of hers resonate with me very deeply, but I immediately saw that incident with Kanye west as a move to silence women.
Particularly, I saw it as a blind hate for a white woman. I don't read much celebrity news and just see it from my own perspective. Sorry but I hate the "Karen" thing that came about as another way to hate women. There has already been a stereotype and then a trope of "angry black woman" and this was already very disturbing to me.
Like shaneequa from Martin. It's always been like, women can't be angry or she will be a stereotype but a man can be angry and it's justified in everyone's eyes.
Racism is an actual thing with not so little overt interactions sometimes. Sexism also can be sneaky like that. Like when you get pulled over by the cops and you are actually put into a vulnerable situation. The other person has a gun and is suspicious of you.
Those red and blue lights means a matter of life and death. It is non- arguably more terrifying if you are a woman, especially a woman of color.
I hate how Kanye made her a demon for just being a white woman making music and for more people liking it than beyonce that time. She is not his problem. He doesn't respect any woman, and took it out on Taylor swift. He was being a shitty man.
Sorry to bring this into the realm of racism but I think it's something that warrants a mentioning for its role here. I just think society really hates successful women and they get to have a real good excuse to hate her. They can say it's cause she is white and blonde; it's really only because she is a woman.
Now every man hates her for being successful and pretty. I really don't like her music but I will always defend her over a man. Because women in my opinion need to be defended more than a man in all cases. They are more vulnerable and more demonized and don't go out of their way to hurt people.
She may be a pick me as I can tell from a lot of her lyrics I have heard. But she is just at a game trying to support the guy she is dating. We know not to do that but she doesn't.
It's so weird how much men want to see her downfall when she didn't do anything at all To them.
Let her be successful dammit.
Throwback to when Taylor's ex Joe Alwyn was so emasculated by her success, he refused to be photographed with her, never showed up to any of her award ceremonies, and wouldn't even so much as publically name his favorite Taylor song, all the while stringing her along for 6 whole years with no intention of popping the question, whatsoever. At least Travis Kelce is aware of how lucky he is to be with a woman like Taylor.
if he makes the "power move" to break up with her, she'll just write a song about it, it'll be a huge hit, she'll become richer because of it. hell, maybe she'll right an entire album and win a grammy. no matter the outcome of the realtionship, she'll be queen in the situation. she has the power to turn her tears into art and money. no need to be a swiftie to see that
