i'm a Chiefs fan (dad born/raised in KC and i was born there), so I now know more about Swift than I ever thought I would.


Is she the one dating Travis MAAUTO, whose qb is Patrick Kelcehowmuchyoucansavebybundlinghomeandauto.

He also called a "Bobby Wagner" audible. Al Michaels didn't miss a beat and said "Is Ray Nietzchke next?".

Really cool how TSwift has helped to get the Chiefs into the spotlight. Franchise deserves some publicity.
LOL this is so true!

Not gonna lie. Full grown man, been a semi-swiftie for a long time and 1989 was prob my favorite album. I think it was tied to having to be in NYC so much for work when it came out and "Welcome to NY" was just on repeat on my iphone haha. The vault songs on this re-release are $$$!

I saw what I thought were a bunch of Taylor Swift calendars at the store. I wondered why they were for 1989 instead of 2024.

I posted this once before, but Father John Misty (channeling Lou Reed/VE) lampooning Ryan Moore (channeling Bruce Springsteen) covering Taylor Swift's 1989 album still tickles me.



Taylor Swift's camp was sanguine about the whole affair.

I have nothing bad to say about Taylor Swift.

And all I have to add here is that her marketing team is incredible. Especially these "Taylor's Version" re-releases. Every time one drops, it catapults right back into the zeitgeist. The top album and most of the top 20 songs on Spotify right now are the re-release of 9 year old material. The actual music and artistry aside, it's incredible the marketing machine that they've orchestrated.

To be fair, there are five brand new songs on this last Taylor's Version.

Re-recorded not re-released. Recording a new performance is the whole intent of these albums. Swing and miss on that attempt at humor

Yep. Even Kendrick Lamar was like "yeah, I'll re-record that song with you"

Nothing against Taylor necessarily, she definitely deserves the success she's earned, but sometimes I'm just thrown off by how much she is constantly overhyped and how few emerging Taylor Swifts we hear about. Taylor is set for life and then some, it would be nice if more 15-30 year old girls/women could throw more support/money at singer-songwriters who are arguably as talented but don't have insane marketing behind them.

There simply never will be anyone like Taylor Swift. She's an incredible artist like none other. You don't have to be a Swiftie to recognize that; I'm certainly not, but I do appreciate her talents.

Understand where you are coming from. I think one day Taylor will pay it forward and produce more. And that might be her niche. Don't forget that she was a teen knocking on doors in Nashville looking for people to take a chance on her. Her lyrics just relate to about every suburban white girl that ever lived. She's made a few political stances as well that has gained her more followers. Every place she tours, she donates to the local food banks.

But back to your original comment, yeah, I know there are thousands of Taylors trying to make it but the market has become very saturated with IG, Spotify and how easy it is to record a song in your house and upload it with some decent software and hardware. That wasn't the case when she was grinding in the early 2000s.

I think she is a great example of how young singers and acts can get exploited by record companies because they are so eager to "make it" and don't know any better. She said "you know what, I'll re-record every album that they won't sell back to me ". I think she is advocating for the younger girls/guys coming up by leading by example and being so public about what happened.

It is getting annoying that we are now getting stat splits for Kelce depending on if she attended the game or not

I loved that they played "Welcome to New York" during the commercials for Chiefs @ Jets earlier this season.
