I really enjoy ur broadcast. I so agree about the Brits. Taylor is VERY hot for who you call a meathead!! He is talented in so many facets. Travis is a Hall of Famer, best TE in the Country. Travis is not a fool....you will see the rage in many if Taylor tries her bolter era on Travis.
Call me delusional but I think Travis could be a more serious contender than a lot of people think. He seems so secure in himself and isn’t new to media attention. Plus he clearly respects her as an artist.
Correct! The way he answers media concerning Taylor is very good. He is not exaggerating and he is not dodging questions about them and does it respectfully. He is confident in his own skin and let people know how he is on top of the world after winning the Superbowl and that he is more on top of the world now. Wow, atta man!❤
Yea - like Joe was always very private and I feel like he could handle/just wasn’t used to her level of fame (he’s famous too but nothing compared) - while Travis has been in the spotlight like her and seems more used to it.
Travis does not just play football in front of 70, 000 fans, millions of people also watch the game on TV. He is a star to football fans. He won two Super Bowl rings, has broken records, and is a future HOF. It seems most Swifties know nothing about football or the players in the game and make up things about Travis only because they never heard of him but the rest of us that are football fans know the players, especially the great players on every team. The thing is Travis is a family guy. Really loves and cares about his parents, brother and his brother's family. He is one of the nicest guys. As Taylor said in a long ago interview by a talk show host that she only went for and went after cute, good looking guys, without caring if they were nice guys. That is shallow. But hopefully after Joe, she also wants a really good guy and Travis is not only cute and good looking but a really nice and good guy. They have awhile to go to see if they are meant to be. He has football and her tour does not end until the end of 2024.
As a Kansas girl, I'm rooting for this harder than I've ever rooted for any of Taylor's men before. She's such a dork at heart, and he's a polite, midwestern boy at heart. Equal in their own right, with no subtle "competition" between them. I'm completely sold, even if it's just for fun!
But then u should know what the football fans are like, aka, gross men. They’re all piling on Taylor swift, about how Kelce could do so much better than her coz she’s a “slut”. Reminds me that song needs to come out asap to shut people up
As someone from Kansas City, I can tell you that Kelce is an awesome dude. I don't care much about football, but the whole city is collectively obsessed with the Cheifs so I now know more about football than I ever thought possible as a gay™️. Him and Patrick Mahomes are basically the biggest celebrities in the city and they're best buds. They seem like just good Midwestern guys, they're always great to people in the service industry (I have friends who have served them in bars and restaurants here), and they give SO MUCH to local charities (especially for underprivileged youth). Basically Kelce is like if the sweet himbo football player we all lusted after in high school, but grown up and rich. He's also worked really hard to get where he is. I dunno, I really kinda love this for T Swift! Also, his number is 87.
And I think it speaks volumes that basically everyone from Kansas/Kansas City has been saying nothing but great things about Kelce! It’s one thing for hardcore Cheifs fans to be the ones speaking to his “character”, but the whole city and essentially everyone this man interacts with is singing his praises- that means so much more!
Himbos can be smart. I just think they don’t take themselves seriously at all, so they don’t put a ton of focus on seeming smart because they don’t care if people think they’re smart. The focus is more on the goofiness and kindness, which is honestly refreshing from some of these overbearing artsy types she dated.
Also, meatheads are not the same as Himbos. Meatheads are the rude, unintelligent bullies of athletics. Himbos are the kind, sweet, attractive, fit goofballs.
making me realize that’s the guy i was hung up on for sooooo long 😂 blonde funny football guy. i loved him SO much and we hardly even dated, i guess this is why i fell for him. also it was my first love so i’ll always associate that feeling with him a little. he was a bit shy about making moves but that was endearing (until he ghosted me). idk just something about that feeling in a relationship where you are equals and you can laugh together and you don’t have to mother them or teacher them or beg them to treat you right. where you feel truly at peace. that’s what i had with him. nothing wrong with himbos 😂 they are so damn sweet.
When I look up the definition of himbo it’s an attractive man who is unintelligent so it is an insult which makes me sad lol! Unless the kids changed the meaning, idk 😂
Love how balanced and mature you are. This is the kind of celebrity gossip I enjoy- harmless chatter and speculation with some lighthearted shading at both ourselves (the audience) and her “purses”.
Oof the fact you pointed out the tortured male artists tend to be more misogynistic than himbos hit home for me. I find that if himbos are misogynistic it’s often from a place of ignorance and they’re often very open to learning more. The torture bros are pretty much just starting from the idea of being better than women and they stay thinking that.
i hate how people are instantly like "WELL HE DID THIS etc etc SO HE CAN'T DATE HER", literally stop. Taylor's not a saint either. No one is. It's like they want her to be alone smh.
Honestly, as someone whi grew up as an indie girl, waiting years between albums and making up stories about my faves who gave nothing, I'm so happy I ended up falling to the allure of Taylor Swift, I swear to god, besides the great hooks, she's just the funniest popstar to ever live. I can't get enough of her shenanigans, and what a better way to dive head first than through your hilarious videos. Thank you Zack, I needed a pick me up after coming back from vacation, and you gave me a good chuckle!!
@@vivanesca hahaha I mean, still love my indie bands, don't get me wrong. But this woman is a top tier songwriter and the most entertaining star at the same time! Gotta love that!
Your ability to weave TS lyrics into your regular ass sentences is seriously so impressive. Like, that’s what I’m here for at this point haha. I can’t believe over half of your viewers are not surprised.
It’s like seeing your bestie settling for guys who are way below her league and then finally finding a guy who matches her energy. I love her and Travis Kielce.
TAYLOR NATION NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE YOUR WORK. Like DAMN Swiftologist does not REST. I know you've been to the Rep. secret session but they need to put some more respect on you and your boots on the ground reporting and journalistic take on everything! As everyone else says, you are amazing! Thank u for feeding us peasants ❤🙏❤
The more I learn of him, the more I like him. He has a really great sense of humor, supery cheesey (which some of us loooove), family is important, and he has a big foundation to help underprivilaged youth 💙 That convertable i think is the car that was converted into an electric car by a bunch of highschool kids :-) Im here for this, even if it is for now. 🍸
I totally agree that she is loving being the IT GIRL again! I love how you said it and totally agree she enjoys being famous! She’s even said it herself when she was young! Fame was definitely her goal and she’s amazing at it 😊 side notes: his brother didn’t confirm at all he said “just kidding” right after he said he wants it to go the mile! Just wanted to clear that. Also the 1989 outfit was named 1989 after he wore it to the game so maybe was planned for colors which is cute but it wasn’t named that when it was purchased! Loved your video ❤
“He could actually probably get Taylor on his private jet and take her somewhere, or he could pick up the tab at Chilli’s when they go for an all-you-can-eat buffet.” Fucking. Amazing. 10/10, changed my life, would recommend to a friend.
It’s now June 2024, and they’re still going strong. She looks like she’s having so much fun and is getting out, living life without hiding. So many people say wonderful things about Travis, and he handles the press beautifully. He praises her all the time and doesn’t try to dull her shine! I’m hoping for the long haul because I want her to be happy!
I mean… she looked so giddy. It was cute af. Also, there’s a shot of Travis seeing her in the booth saying “she’s right there” and blushing. Adorable ❤
Hey 👋. Did you see at the end of the chiefs/Jets game in NYC where she leaned into Blake Lively and gushed "look at him...✨?". She then demonstrated how awesome his bicep looked when he draped his arm on someones shoulder at the end of the game. 🔥🌋⚡. The girl is equally smitten. Coming from a non/Swifty status to joining the club. This is fun!
I wish (especially new) swifties would stop referring to every single guy she dates as our “father” and getting incredibly angry whenever someone doesn’t immediately jump on board. Like let us roast the men, we signed up to support and love Taylor, not create an undying allegiance to some dude we don’t know. I made a lighthearted comment and my inbox was filled with really aggressive hate
Especially when I couldn't give a carp about Kansas City in general. lol My IG feed was flooded with KC Chiefs content and I just wanted my Taylor news and Seahawks news, dat's it.😭
"The artsy tortured boys are the real misogynists and women-haters in disguise. They are the first ones to discount women's art. [...] The tortured male artists tend to be very narcissistic and self-involved...." Yes, those "tortured white male artists" are emasculated by Taylor! Thank you for putting this out there. I wish I'd know this as a young woman, a teenager in the 1990s. We were fed the "sensitive 90s guy" trope, which ended in domestic violence for me personally. (I was floored when Jack sang that lyric.) You are so correct also about the financial abuse these guys do as a part of their modus operandi. They never pay their own way, and they certainly don't pick up the tab - ever. Also, I have subscribed. This 46 yr old woman just binged four of your videos. They are so good! Wish you the best!
She's definitely a football fan. She grew up in Pennsylvania and Tennessee and was a country girl for a long time. Of course she loves football. She also confirmed a while ago that she was specifically a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Edit: I just remembered that this also isn't the first football player she's dated. She sings about "dating a guy on the football team" in Fifteen, and I'm assuming she went to a lot of his games. Football was most likely a huge deal at her high school.
He just doesn’t know the culture or the reality of football in the US so he is speaking from an uninformed point of view. She obviously knows and loves football.
Nah. I'm from tennessee and listened to country as a kid, parents republicans. Football is just there, part of the basic culture. I don't give a crap about it but I'm friendly about it. I can pretend for fun if I need to. There's non sporty , more arty people who aren't into football even though it's around. That might be how she is.
Is about time for Taylor to be with a guy that looks like a Viking, has a British self depreciating sense of humor, comes from a good family, has real success, is athletic and does not feel threatened by her success. I'm in love with this potential love story.
As an older & OG swiftie, mentioning the bracelet on the podcast was the soft launch….this…her being so public, glowing, cheering, all the things…is the hard launch. They’ve definitely been talking/dating since July….homegirl wouldn’t just randomly show up like this for someone casual….I am sooooooo here for this! Always happy when she’s happy!! She deserves the world! I love her with a BIG MAN! Not a musician or actor…a big ol thorough bred American football player at 6”5 250lbs, stylish, successful, funny, doesn’t take himself too seriously….LOVE THIS!!! Their energies match!!! Bc they’re in KC they were able to do the convertible as there isn’t paparazzi in KC & though it’s a big town, it has small town feels & the people respect their celebrities
Definitely, she is an eagles fan and Travis's brother plays for the eagles. I am sure she heard about the bracelet, with all the rumors about them hanging out she would not have gone to the game as a first date. The showing up was a way to confirm the rumors. I do believe that she is a football fan.
@@angiem5193THANK YOU shes definitely a football fan and her dad is a lifetime Eagles fan. Taylor was born in West Reading PA but raised in Wyomissing PA both suburbs of Philadelphia. (pre- Tennessee move) However… she actually told her fans on stage at the Wells Fargo Stadium (In philly) last year that she is a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, and that her line in her song Gold Rush (2020) she was referring to the team with the line “Eagles shirt hanging on my door”
I hardly dared hope that we’d get a video from you on this event so soon! Thank you for your service, this messy boots on the ground journalism is my absolute favorite.
Thank you for this videooo!!!!! the fact that he isn't uncomfortable with public, being a public figure himself? gives me life. Taylor should never have to consider her level of fame as something negative, she's worked so hard and has earned evey bit of it!
i think Taylor is a casual football watcher. she has a favorite team (the Eagles) but i think when she sees that they’re playing a game and she’s like “hope they win” and just goes on with her day. if they play the super bowl she will be watching
I also like to point out that whenever the Super Bowl plays, Taylor is radio silent on social media. She's definitely spending time enjoying the game with family and friends and tuning everything else out.
@theswiftologist SECONDING THIS REQUEST! New Swiftie here but LOVING your videos and hot (very thoughtful, well-spoken) takes. Please give us this!!!!! Subscribing now
I still agree with him lol. I just don’t see it lasting. I’d be surprised if they are still together Dec 2025. That’s why I like his approach. Doesn’t really matter. It’s just a guy lol.
Zack as a patreon on the EOAS-- I was still blown away by how you TRULY know Taylor. You and Madeline are literally historians and experts. Thank you for putting this up so quickly with such great commentary!!!
My favorite part of this whole video (besides you and your loveliness of course!) is her picking up the bottles in the suite. I'm sorry but that is just what makes her so lovable to me. She is such a beautiful soul who does not feel she is above anyone else. Love her and love this!
I cant help thinking every time I watch one of your videos that I'm attending a college level course on all things Taylor Swift and the current cultural milieu. You certainly could and should be recognized as THE top boots on the ground reporter, especially by her own team. I'm looking forward to the day they finally contact you and give you a position. Thank you for your work. So Loved this video!
GenZs sad toxic trait is to look for a reason to cancel someone. for a gen supposedly about love, and acceptance they've got very limited "forgiveness" skills. Great job as always! 100% agree, although i'm rooting for them going the distance. she needs a real man in her life for once. she will swoon. she deserves it.
As a Midwestern Swiftie from Travis's home town, I'm more invested in this than I thought I would be. I'm going to nod my head when you tell me this is a fling but in my heart of hearts hope to live my delulu life and wish and pray that this lasts a bit for her if not turns into end game. For purely selfish reasons. My "meet Taylor Swift in the wild" meter has gone from 0.25% to 0.5% and I am living in that hope that he'll bring her home on the holidays and she'll be in the same city as me for something other than business 😂. At the very least I would like The Lakes, Taylor's Version, From the Great Lakes. Or "you know I love a Cleveland Boy" please and thank you 😂. Also I agree with you that she needs to take a break from the brooding artist type and this is probably just what she needs.
Omg! I was waiting for your take on this so bad, living for the tea 😂 Taylor’s new boo is like a new season of my favorite tv show, it’s a romcom with the best soundtracks ever
Zach really speaks for all the Swifties who thought they would never have to care about football in their entire life but are suddenly like what is a touchdown???
You are so freakn brilliant in articulating the scene “ rattling. The bars of her enclosure, pounding the glass.” you kill me. Roflmaooh and chest bump. You always kill it!!!!!💙💙💙💖💖💖
I just love he's not intimidated by her fame, because let's face it Taylor has been in the industry for a long time and is one if not the top artist of the decade. he just embraces her and seems like he genuinely likes her. and I know people are going to sooner or later start speculating and digging up dirt to ruin their relationship. They seem like they could be each other's endgame.
Ok, I’m a Midwestern “meathead” myself. I was memorized by this podcast (which I found at the bottom of the rabbit hole). The level of minutiae of the TS mind/motivation is hilarious, insightful and intriguing! Damn, I’m gonna subscribe!
I'm a 30 something meathead Eagles fan(huge fan of Travis' brother) with a swiftie girlfriend. She stated listening to new heights, and I started looking up swiftie podcasts to see what they think of Travis. I noticed the level of fandom between a hardcore nfl fan and a swiftie is extremely similar. Related, if the 2 of them seriously date I think it is a positive for both of them that they have dealt with rabid fanbases. It gives Travis a level of understanding swifties that most "famous" people don't have. People get into fights over nfl teams. No one is throwing punches over someone saying something like "the 1975 sucks"
OMG so true! I saw a story on her before the Rihanna Super Bowl and she's an inspiration. The way she decided to take it upon herself to prove her father wrong that she and other girls can do sports incredibly well and be the first college graduate of her family really stuck with me.
This is the first time I am commenting on Taylor's relationships. I love her music and the only time I am interested in her relationships is to understand her lyrics and how they come to be. But I am very happy for her with this Travis Kelce news. I have no idea about American Football as I am not American but this guy is her fan, he is fine declaring it. He being a very masculine individual is comfortable with his masculinity enough to talk about being a fan, knowing lyrics, attending her concert and making a friendship bracelet. And he seems very serious about perceiving this. I won't be surprised if all of this catches all of us in surprise and this fun goofy fling turns out into something very serious! I think Kelce values her for who she is. TAYLOR SWIFT!
Her at that football show makes me think of like an episode of "Scandal" or something. I imagine a team of people sitting him down, telling him how to respond and what flowers to send, and Taylor just dancing around being the It Girl, and doing it with sparkles on top ✨✨
Omg... other people have pointed out you saying "tortured artist" but also at 1:16 saying "leave the sanctimonious bs" and that tie to "sanctimonious soliloquies ill never see"
I'm really not into anything celebrity, but as a fan of Taylor's music your videos are excellent. You have a balanced and authentic opinion on top of being naturally funny and articulate. Thanks! ❣️
Fast, super entertaining, analytical, and fair - 🎉 I loved what you said about how most artists cannot sell AND create. And i’d say that most content creators cannot deliver thoughtful analysis and get it out quickly - but Swiftologist can! You’re the best!
they have been talking before. they have mutual friends in taylor lautner and ryan gosling followed him in the middle of august. i am certain they were already talking before that.
I've always been of the opinion that "Blank Space" is more autobiographical than Taylor lets on. That's not to say that there isn't any satire in the song. Taylor is playing into the caricature of that song's main character, but to act like it's all a joke and that there isn't any hint of self-awareness or self-reflection on her own dating life at all is delusional. Especially now where we're seeing Taylor basically living the life of that character. These men are, as you said, accessories to her. I think she was genuinely in love with Joe, and she wanted desperately to make that work, but she finally realized that he was holding her back. So I think she's just on a rebound and collecting men for the funsies.
honestly 😂 especially the beginning and the chorus. there’s a couple verses that play into the media (“i’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream”, the media saying she was playing the victim and masquerading as americas sweetheart when she was actually evil) but like… “saw you there and i thought omg look at that face. you like like my next mistake. love’s a game wanna play” and also “ain’t it funny rumors fly and ik you heard about me so hey let’s be friends. im dying to see how this one ends” and the entire chorus… also “boys only want love if it’s torture” 😂😂 like cmon you cant tell me that’s not relatable. it’s extremely relatable as an unpopular nerdy teenager (idk how i’ve had like 4 different boyfriends, don’t ask) so i can imagine how hard taylor relates. and ik it’s all surface level and a coping mechanism for the countless betrayals and heartbreaks she’s been through to look at it like that. to be like “hehe i’m a bad girl, oopsies, i’m living life to the fullest” is kinda reclaiming all of the tears and slander and hurt she went through in those relationships. it’s a lot deeper of a song than we think.
You are so so right about the tortured artist guys being misogynists! I was nodding like a toy dog in the back of a car when you were saying that! I hope Taylor dates some lovely, kind meatheads, although not sure whether she'll get the same type of inspiration from them...
I think Taylor needs a “Stedman“ (Oprah’s boyfriend). She needs someone who would be perfectly happy to be in the background and supportive of her career at the same time, whatever form that would take
I saw the notification and was like: surely not. It can't be. Didn't he just put out a video about Taylor??? The swiftologist works as hard as Taylor I swear...
Omg not me finishing your unpopular opinions video on the treadmill, walking in silence for 15 seconds with the video still up, and then getting a notification for this emergency video lmao. I audibly gasped. Never clicked so fast
omg taylor called and you picked up, always with the newest in the swiftie universe thank you. i was absolutely giggling blushing laughing yesterday watching all the content come from taylor being at the chiefs game. travis is absolutely giving taylor the spotlight and openly talking about her in the media???? taylor has been publicly adored deprived for the last 6 years i’m so happy for her
The way I cackled out loud at “Well I’ll say 😏 “ !! I’m new to your channel and have been bingeing your videos for the last week. Absolutely loving the balance and critical eye you bring to the discussion ❤️
The fact that you gave us this video so quickly makes me feel seen and cared for.

As someone from Kansas City, I can tell you that Kelce is an awesome dude. I don't care much about football, but the whole city is collectively obsessed with the Cheifs so I now know more about football than I ever thought possible as a gay™️. Him and Patrick Mahomes are basically the biggest celebrities in the city and they're best buds. They seem like just good Midwestern guys, they're always great to people in the service industry (I have friends who have served them in bars and restaurants here), and they give SO MUCH to local charities (especially for underprivileged youth). Basically Kelce is like if the sweet himbo football player we all lusted after in high school, but grown up and rich. He's also worked really hard to get where he is.

Also from KC and can confirm.
Of course they like him. They want him to win football games. He's giving me Trump supporter vibes.
Himbos can be smart. I just think they don’t take themselves seriously at all, so they don’t put a ton of focus on seeming smart because they don’t care if people think they’re smart. The focus is more on the goofiness and kindness, which is honestly refreshing from some of these overbearing artsy types she dated.
Also, meatheads are not the same as Himbos. Meatheads are the rude, unintelligent bullies of athletics. Himbos are the kind, sweet, attractive, fit goofballs.

Lol I meant subscribed. I’m sorry I just woke up hahaha 😅
Agree lol
Gosh, he even uses the word sanctimonious in this video at 1:10, months before TTPD came out
He does this a loot@@tamara.herbalist
I love your Emergancy videos. When something crazy happens with Taylor I know who’s channel to go to.
It’s like seeing your bestie settling for guys who are way below her league and then finally finding a guy who matches her energy. I love her and Travis Kielce.
how does he match her energy?
@@Serena-so1qh search up Travis kelce dancing. They have the same energy. The ones that get it, get it
TAYLOR NATION NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE YOUR WORK. Like DAMN Swiftologist does not REST. I know you've been to the Rep. secret session but they need to put some more respect on you and your boots on the ground reporting and journalistic take on everything! As everyone else says, you are amazing! Thank u for feeding us peasants ❤🙏❤
If TaylorNation found out the shit Zach was saying, he would be BLACK LISTED from every event 😭
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices 😅 i mean he is giving her allll the PR tho ssssoooo
I'm thinking referring to her new boyfriend as a himbo might kind of discount him
“…one of the top tight ends 😏 .. well* I’ll say” - this made me genuinely laugh out loud.
I smiled even more when I saw it was you Kalyn! Swifty for life 😆
I love how we ALL make that face when we say tight end
Omg, love you Kalyn!!!🎃🦋🧡
Why did you laugh out loud⁉️
We all have that reaction. Even the mature ones in this nation 💀
The more I learn of him, the more I like him. He has a really great sense of humor, supery cheesey (which some of us loooove), family is important, and he has a big foundation to help underprivilaged youth 💙
That convertable i think is the car that was converted into an electric car by a bunch of highschool kids :-)
Im here for this, even if it is for now. 🍸
I totally agree that she is loving being the IT GIRL again! I love how you said it and totally agree she enjoys being famous! She’s even said it herself when she was young! Fame was definitely her goal and she’s amazing at it 😊 side notes: his brother didn’t confirm at all he said “just kidding” right after he said he wants it to go the mile! Just wanted to clear that. Also the 1989 outfit was named 1989 after he wore it to the game so maybe was planned for colors which is cute but it wasn’t named that when it was purchased! Loved your video ❤
“He could actually probably get Taylor on his private jet and take her somewhere, or he could pick up the tab at Chilli’s when they go for an all-you-can-eat buffet.”
Fucking. Amazing. 10/10, changed my life, would recommend to a friend.
"big meaty hands making these teeny tiny little friendship bracelets"
🤢🤢🤢😂😂😂😂
It’s now June 2024, and they’re still going strong. She looks like she’s having so much fun and is getting out, living life without hiding. So many people say wonderful things about Travis, and he handles the press beautifully. He praises her all the time and doesn’t try to dull her shine! I’m hoping for the long haul because I want her to be happy!
“John Mayer was a garbage bag.. that’s easy”- OMG 😂 I laughed out loud
I mean… she looked so giddy. It was cute af. Also, there’s a shot of Travis seeing her in the booth saying “she’s right there” and blushing. Adorable ❤
Hey 👋. Did you see at the end of the chiefs/Jets game in NYC where she leaned into Blake Lively and gushed "look at him...✨?". She then demonstrated how awesome his bicep looked when he draped his arm on someones shoulder at the end of the game. 🔥🌋⚡. The girl is equally smitten.
Coming from a non/Swifty status to joining the club. This is fun!
That’s my favorite picture! He looks so smitten!
I wish (especially new) swifties would stop referring to every single guy she dates as our “father” and getting incredibly angry whenever someone doesn’t immediately jump on board. Like let us roast the men, we signed up to support and love Taylor, not create an undying allegiance to some dude we don’t know. I made a lighthearted comment and my inbox was filled with really aggressive hate
so true its soooo fucking weird when people call her boyfriends dad lol
I feel like that’s a new swiftie thing
Especially when I couldn't give a carp about Kansas City in general. lol My IG feed was flooded with KC Chiefs content and I just wanted my Taylor news and Seahawks news, dat's it.😭
I recently discovered your channel, and man, I'm so happy. Unfiltered truth, opinions, rational thinking, and jokes? THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
“did we learn nothing from jfk” is sending me 💀💀💀💀 great video!
"The artsy tortured boys are the real misogynists and women-haters in disguise. They are the first ones to discount women's art. [...] The tortured male artists tend to be very narcissistic and self-involved...." Yes, those "tortured white male artists" are emasculated by Taylor! Thank you for putting this out there. I wish I'd know this as a young woman, a teenager in the 1990s. We were fed the "sensitive 90s guy" trope, which ended in domestic violence for me personally. (I was floored when Jack sang that lyric.) You are so correct also about the financial abuse these guys do as a part of their modus operandi. They never pay their own way, and they certainly don't pick up the tab - ever. Also, I have subscribed. This 46 yr old woman just binged four of your videos. They are so good! Wish you the best!
“did you learn NOTHING from jfk!?”
IM SORRY 😭😭😭💀💀💀
Too soon?
She's definitely a football fan. She grew up in Pennsylvania and Tennessee and was a country girl for a long time. Of course she loves football. She also confirmed a while ago that she was specifically a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
Edit: I just remembered that this also isn't the first football player she's dated. She sings about "dating a guy on the football team" in Fifteen, and I'm assuming she went to a lot of his games. Football was most likely a huge deal at her high school.
THANK YOU
He just doesn’t know the culture or the reality of football in the US so he is speaking from an uninformed point of view. She obviously knows and loves football.
Nah. I'm from tennessee and listened to country as a kid, parents republicans. Football is just there, part of the basic culture. I don't give a crap about it but I'm friendly about it. I can pretend for fun if I need to. There's non sporty , more arty people who aren't into football even though it's around. That might be how she is.
I live in the south and plenty of us don’t like football loll
just a note she was singing to Abigail in that not herself lol
“This isn’t gonna last” six months later it’s now her second-longest relationship (publicly at least)
Isnt her second longest relationship with Calvin Harris? They lasted a little bit longer than a year, right?
@@gildanonofyabiznez6430 18 months
@@gildanonofyabiznez6430yes, 2 years
I reaaally love how effortlessly u blend lyrics into the conversation
Is about time for Taylor to be with a guy that looks like a Viking, has a British self depreciating sense of humor, comes from a good family, has real success, is athletic and does not feel threatened by her success. I'm in love with this potential love story.
As an older & OG swiftie, mentioning the bracelet on the podcast was the soft launch….this…her being so public, glowing, cheering, all the things…is the hard launch. They’ve definitely been talking/dating since July….homegirl wouldn’t just randomly show up like this for someone casual….I am sooooooo here for this! Always happy when she’s happy!! She deserves the world!
I love her with a BIG MAN! Not a musician or actor…a big ol thorough bred American football player at 6”5 250lbs, stylish, successful, funny, doesn’t take himself too seriously….LOVE THIS!!! Their energies match!!!
Bc they’re in KC they were able to do the convertible as there isn’t paparazzi in KC & though it’s a big town, it has small town feels & the people respect their celebrities
I agree! As I saw this happen yesterday I just knew it meant this has been going on for a minute
I also believe it has been going on for a while
Definitely, she is an eagles fan and Travis's brother plays for the eagles. I am sure she heard about the bracelet, with all the rumors about them hanging out she would not have gone to the game as a first date. The showing up was a way to confirm the rumors. I do believe that she is a football fan.
@@angiem5193THANK YOU shes definitely a football fan and her dad is a lifetime Eagles fan. Taylor was born in West Reading PA but raised in Wyomissing PA both suburbs of Philadelphia. (pre- Tennessee move)
However… she actually told her fans on stage at the Wells Fargo Stadium (In philly) last year that she is a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, and that her line in her song Gold Rush (2020) she was referring to the team with the line “Eagles shirt hanging on my door”
The photo of her in this old car driving into the sunset does look a lot like a mid-80s music album/ single cover. Actually such a good aesthetic
I hardly dared hope that we’d get a video from you on this event so soon! Thank you for your service, this messy boots on the ground journalism is my absolute favorite.
Would love your take on TKelci now that we've seen him on stage with Miss Queen Taylor in London (go that shade at So Long London). Love your work xx
This purse discussion is the funniest-and most accurate-of all your humor. I can’t with this 🎉😅😂
Joe: the bodega bag 😂
Agree! Did you skip taylor lautner though, or did I just miss it? I think he's one of those stuffed animal backpacks
Thank you for this videooo!!!!! the fact that he isn't uncomfortable with public, being a public figure himself? gives me life. Taylor should never have to consider her level of fame as something negative, she's worked so hard and has earned evey bit of it!
i think Taylor is a casual football watcher. she has a favorite team (the Eagles) but i think when she sees that they’re playing a game and she’s like “hope they win” and just goes on with her day. if they play the super bowl she will be watching
I also like to point out that whenever the Super Bowl plays, Taylor is radio silent on social media. She's definitely spending time enjoying the game with family and friends and tuning everything else out.
"joe alwyn, heirloom turkey" gets me every time
Wat does that even mean?? 🤣
Please tell me what that even means
I believe it means he comes from money AND from someone already in the industry. Joe’s dad is a film director.
@@CaterpillarZ903 Ahh, interesting!
I’m neither a swiftie nor a Chiefs fan, but I find myself naturally invested in both of them. Thank you for this informational bulletin.
Happy to help!
you need to do a follow uppp of this video now that this whole tayvis moment has grown exponentially
@theswiftologist SECONDING THIS REQUEST! New Swiftie here but LOVING your videos and hot (very thoughtful, well-spoken) takes. Please give us this!!!!! Subscribing now
I still agree with him lol. I just don’t see it lasting. I’d be surprised if they are still together Dec 2025. That’s why I like his approach. Doesn’t really matter. It’s just a guy lol.
Zack as a patreon on the EOAS-- I was still blown away by how you TRULY know Taylor. You and Madeline are literally historians and experts. Thank you for putting this up so quickly with such great commentary!!!
thank you queen!! hope you're loooooving the patreon
My favorite part of this whole video (besides you and your loveliness of course!) is her picking up the bottles in the suite. I'm sorry but that is just what makes her so lovable to me. She is such a beautiful soul who does not feel she is above anyone else. Love her and love this!
I absolutely love how you are both serious and unserious at the same time
I cant help thinking every time I watch one of your videos that I'm attending a college level course on all things Taylor Swift and the current cultural milieu. You certainly could and should be recognized as THE top boots on the ground reporter, especially by her own team. I'm looking forward to the day they finally contact you and give you a position. Thank you for your work. So Loved this video!
GenZs sad toxic trait is to look for a reason to cancel someone. for a gen supposedly about love, and acceptance they've got very limited "forgiveness" skills. Great job as always! 100% agree, although i'm rooting for them going the distance. she needs a real man in her life for once. she will swoon. she deserves it.
Zach, I can’t believe how many times in this video you said “Pretentious Tortured artist I” types! You literally predicted the name of TS11 !!!! Omg
You also said the “artsy tortured boys”! 👏🏻🏆💪🏻
literally having the time of my life rn what a time to be a swiftie fr
OMG, this video had me cracking up laughing! You need to do stand up . The thought of Taylor eating the buffet at Chili’s 🤣
As a Midwestern Swiftie from Travis's home town, I'm more invested in this than I thought I would be. I'm going to nod my head when you tell me this is a fling but in my heart of hearts hope to live my delulu life and wish and pray that this lasts a bit for her if not turns into end game. For purely selfish reasons. My "meet Taylor Swift in the wild" meter has gone from 0.25% to 0.5% and I am living in that hope that he'll bring her home on the holidays and she'll be in the same city as me for something other than business 😂. At the very least I would like The Lakes, Taylor's Version, From the Great Lakes. Or "you know I love a Cleveland Boy" please and thank you 😂.
Also I agree with you that she needs to take a break from the brooding artist type and this is probably just what she needs.
ME FR
Yesss! Same! With the exception that I’m an hour from Cleveland.
This is me when I found out he was literally BORN in my hometown like omg I’m that much closer to Taylor Swift LMAO
Have you watched New Heights yet?? I've been loving it!! Travis and Jason are so wholesome and funny
Omg! I was waiting for your take on this so bad, living for the tea 😂
Taylor’s new boo is like a new season of my favorite tv show, it’s a romcom with the best soundtracks ever
Zach really speaks for all the Swifties who thought they would never have to care about football in their entire life but are suddenly like what is a touchdown???
You are so freakn brilliant in articulating the scene “ rattling. The bars of her enclosure, pounding the glass.” you kill me. Roflmaooh and chest bump. You always kill it!!!!!💙💙💙💖💖💖
Honestly she looks soo happy with him and that's ultimately what matters to me
So happy you already posted about this!
I had a friend who was sending us live Taylor updates from the game. Here for Miss Americana!!
I just love he's not intimidated by her fame, because let's face it Taylor has been in the industry for a long time and is one if not the top artist of the decade. he just embraces her and seems like he genuinely likes her. and I know people are going to sooner or later start speculating and digging up dirt to ruin their relationship. They seem like they could be each other's endgame.
I love how Calvin doesn't get a purse. "I forgot that you existed" 🤣
Ok, I’m a Midwestern “meathead” myself. I was memorized by this podcast (which I found at the bottom of the rabbit hole). The level of minutiae of the TS mind/motivation is hilarious, insightful and intriguing! Damn, I’m gonna subscribe!
I'm a 30 something meathead Eagles fan(huge fan of Travis' brother) with a swiftie girlfriend. She stated listening to new heights, and I started looking up swiftie podcasts to see what they think of Travis. I noticed the level of fandom between a hardcore nfl fan and a swiftie is extremely similar.
Related, if the 2 of them seriously date I think it is a positive for both of them that they have dealt with rabid fanbases. It gives Travis a level of understanding swifties that most "famous" people don't have. People get into fights over nfl teams. No one is throwing punches over someone saying something like "the 1975 sucks"
1:13 kinda froze in place hehe sanctimoniously performing soliloquies i’ll never see
5:56 😳
To be fair, Donna Kelce may be more of a celebrity of the NFL than Travis or Jason lol. I'd be geeked if I got to hang out with her for a game!
OMG so true! I saw a story on her before the Rihanna Super Bowl and she's an inspiration. The way she decided to take it upon herself to prove her father wrong that she and other girls can do sports incredibly well and be the first college graduate of her family really stuck with me.
This is the first time I am commenting on Taylor's relationships. I love her music and the only time I am interested in her relationships is to understand her lyrics and how they come to be. But I am very happy for her with this Travis Kelce news. I have no idea about American Football as I am not American but this guy is her fan, he is fine declaring it. He being a very masculine individual is comfortable with his masculinity enough to talk about being a fan, knowing lyrics, attending her concert and making a friendship bracelet. And he seems very serious about perceiving this. I won't be surprised if all of this catches all of us in surprise and this fun goofy fling turns out into something very serious! I think Kelce values her for who she is. TAYLOR SWIFT!
Her at that football show makes me think of like an episode of "Scandal" or something. I imagine a team of people sitting him down, telling him how to respond and what flowers to send, and Taylor just dancing around being the It Girl, and doing it with sparkles on top ✨✨
ZACH THE NO DAYS OFF SWIFTOLOGIST (i love this and i’m here for it ur content slays)
I was sold on this relationship when I saw that clip of Travis looking up towards Taylor and smiling like a child lol
Omg... other people have pointed out you saying "tortured artist" but also at 1:16 saying "leave the sanctimonious bs" and that tie to "sanctimonious soliloquies ill never see"
I'm really not into anything celebrity, but as a fan of Taylor's music your videos are excellent. You have a balanced and authentic opinion on top of being naturally funny and articulate. Thanks! ❣️
Fast, super entertaining, analytical, and fair - 🎉
I loved what you said about how most artists cannot sell AND create. And i’d say that most content creators cannot deliver thoughtful analysis and get it out quickly - but Swiftologist can!
You’re the best!
I think it's interesting looking back at this and seeing where their relationship is now.
Taylor Swift is really that one SZA tweet 😭"I'm gonna be misunderstood till I die, I might aswell have a good time"
the way u said she's one with the tortured artist types is so WILD now that tortured poets ABOUT THOSE GUYS is announced. wow. so good
Do you ever rest?!
But seriously, we are being fed with all this content and I am grateful 😌
thank you for forgetting to give calvin harris a purse. very on brand
VERY ON BRAND
they have been talking before. they have mutual friends in taylor lautner and ryan gosling followed him in the middle of august. i am certain they were already talking before that.
Them together is truly the American dream, let’s salute
Sanctimonious, tortured artist, was this a ttpd Easter egg all along ?
TS watches swiftologist confirmed lmao
I've always been of the opinion that "Blank Space" is more autobiographical than Taylor lets on. That's not to say that there isn't any satire in the song. Taylor is playing into the caricature of that song's main character, but to act like it's all a joke and that there isn't any hint of self-awareness or self-reflection on her own dating life at all is delusional.
Especially now where we're seeing Taylor basically living the life of that character. These men are, as you said, accessories to her. I think she was genuinely in love with Joe, and she wanted desperately to make that work, but she finally realized that he was holding her back. So I think she's just on a rebound and collecting men for the funsies.
Blank space has always been real 😂
honestly 😂 especially the beginning and the chorus. there’s a couple verses that play into the media (“i’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream”, the media saying she was playing the victim and masquerading as americas sweetheart when she was actually evil) but like… “saw you there and i thought omg look at that face. you like like my next mistake. love’s a game wanna play” and also “ain’t it funny rumors fly and ik you heard about me so hey let’s be friends. im dying to see how this one ends” and the entire chorus… also “boys only want love if it’s torture” 😂😂 like cmon you cant tell me that’s not relatable. it’s extremely relatable as an unpopular nerdy teenager (idk how i’ve had like 4 different boyfriends, don’t ask) so i can imagine how hard taylor relates. and ik it’s all surface level and a coping mechanism for the countless betrayals and heartbreaks she’s been through to look at it like that. to be like “hehe i’m a bad girl, oopsies, i’m living life to the fullest” is kinda reclaiming all of the tears and slander and hurt she went through in those relationships. it’s a lot deeper of a song than we think.
“Leave the sanctimonious bs” psychic. You are linked with mother in terrifying ways. I love it never stop.
you truly have no days off, thank you for your incredible service
I'm thrilled about this. Travis is a really good guy. ❤
Zach is officially in his no sleep awake at all hours because of blondie era
You are so so right about the tortured artist guys being misogynists! I was nodding like a toy dog in the back of a car when you were saying that! I hope Taylor dates some lovely, kind meatheads, although not sure whether she'll get the same type of inspiration from them...
I think Taylor needs a “Stedman“ (Oprah’s boyfriend). She needs someone who would be perfectly happy to be in the background and supportive of her career at the same time, whatever form that would take
After hours of obsessing on the internet, THIS is my favourite take on the story yet! Thank you!!!!!
I saw the notification and was like: surely not. It can't be. Didn't he just put out a video about Taylor??? The swiftologist works as hard as Taylor I swear...
We need an updated video PLEASEEEEEE
So HS - she's finally getting to enjoy the stuff she missed by becoming a professional so early on.
Thank you Zack for blessing us with a video full of lighthearted kiki and gossip, in other words thank you for just pure entertainment
Omg not me finishing your unpopular opinions video on the treadmill, walking in silence for 15 seconds with the video still up, and then getting a notification for this emergency video lmao. I audibly gasped. Never clicked so fast
omg taylor called and you picked up, always with the newest in the swiftie universe thank you. i was absolutely giggling blushing laughing yesterday watching all the content come from taylor being at the chiefs game. travis is absolutely giving taylor the spotlight and openly talking about her in the media???? taylor has been publicly adored deprived for the last 6 years i’m so happy for her
thank you zack for all this awesome content. the best swiftie source on the internet
💯💯
I agree!!
The way I cackled out loud at “Well I’ll say 😏 “ !! I’m new to your channel and have been bingeing your videos for the last week. Absolutely loving the balance and critical eye you bring to the discussion ❤️
The way you skipped Calvin when describing the purses 😂 Forgot that he existed for real
