The art of swinging too hard in the opposite direction... (Patreon)

To set the scene....
For nearly six years, Taylor was in a relationship with a certain Meleagris and it was a relationship that was based in privacy so ardently they would often RUN for their lives when exiting a building to get to the car so the paparazzi couldn't get a decent picture. Taylor did no interviews during Rep (part of the act, or something she felt compelled to do for her relationship...?), did hardly any television appearances, and rarely went to awards shows. During the Lover era, what little of it there was, she ALMOST returned to form, but mostly all she had the time to do was desperately perform Me at as many places as she could in an attempt to try and make it a hit....flop....
Then of course it was the pandemic and Folkevermore, which mandated staying home and minding her business and not being bejeweled. However, at the start of and into the Midnights era when she was starting to go out and about again, I wonder if that was the deciding factor to the final nail in the coffin of Joe and Taylor.
Judging by the fact that she started immediately going and being everything, everywhere, all at once, one can assume that she felt less able to go out and do her thing while she was with Joe. Six straight years of having the pressure of having to keep everything private, be secretive, not be pictured together, and running to cars from restaurants and parties probably wears on a person after a while. I think there was a time this was all what she legitimately wanted, but when she decided she was over it, Joe wasn't willing to deal with the thought of being a not-private celeb couple and dipped.
Fast forward to today : where, yeah, she's swinging too hard in the opposite direction.
Her and Travis are a C I R C U S of a relationship. They do not hide from pictures, she willingly goes to the games even while knowing she is going to be filmed the entire time, he goes to her shows, they ham it all up, almost like she's kinda saying that she just does not want to hide anymore. Is it too much??? Idk I'm having a bawllll on this bitch so time will tell, but I could imagine that the EXACT polar opposite of the thing that drove you insane for 6 years would probably be pretty appealing. For a while. Lmfao.
Onto the real meat of the matter - it's not really surprising NOR is it interesting that Taylor and Travis engagement rumors are starting to spread. If Taylor used the same purse for a certain amount of time the tabloids would print that she was getting engaged to that purse, too, so it's not really worth putting any stock into.
But thinking about how she's doing everything differently than her last relationship.....
From Lover forward she was begging on her hands and knees for Joe to marry her and well, she wouldn't marry her either a pathological people pleaser etc etc. I think, personally, she is ready to get married. I think she is incredibly curious and interested in the idea of marriage, and she was SO ready to marry Joe, and then it did not happen. And now, well, Travis is there....I made a comment on Twitter about how after so many years of wanting to get married and not getting too, her natural reaction to getting a new boyfriend would be to get engaged fast like a lunatic. I was like...mostly kidding.
But then someone replied and said that she was 100,000% going to do exactly that and they were CERTAIN she was getting engaged to Travis, good or bad, whether it's the right move or the wrong move, whether it's smart or stupid, that's what she's going to do, because she just at this point wants to get married 😭😭😭 or even more to the point, there’s just a part of her brain that desperately wants to overcorrect the past relationship whether it’s a smart idea or not.
As for me......................well......................I don't dare to surmise her moves. All I know is she really wanted to get married and it didn't happen and she's out here acting like she's Princess Diana day after day after day. I think if he asked, she'd say yes. Even if it was like tomorrow you guys EVEN IF IT WAS TONIGHT.......
And WHAT do you guys think? ❤️
