We went from âstill just getting to know each otherâ to full on fanfic courtesy people mag in exactly 14 days. Do you think this could mean it will be short lived? Seems to be moving fast.
I donât know what is going to happen because I donât know what her goal is beyond simple publicity for the movie and 1989 tv (and just in general being seen dating a man which is important for her image and for selling music) and weâll have to wait to see how it goes. I still stand by it likely to be short lived but whether that means November or March, your guess is good as mine. I think Iâm currently leaning more in the March direction as being most likely, but it could be tomorrow or it could be forever or whatever she said in Blank Space.
In case anyoneâs keeping count, I also have pretty much settled on all of this being well planned out in advance, including his appearance at the July KC tour in the first place. I wouldnât be surprised if it had been planned for a very long time, just like Matty was.
1) have them linked publicly (for Travis it was the concert and friendship bracelet digits story). Sit back and watch the reaction, and give it a bit of a push in the right direction. With joe this was all done retroactively, after their relationship was âaccidentallyâ leaked we found out they hung out in Oct. With Matty this was done over the course of late 2022-early 2023.
2) soft launch it by announcing an appearance ahead of time to get all eyes on it, while planting stories that theyâve hung out a few times, to establish a timeline back into the summer (august 1ish). Have her publicly meet his mom and get her approval. Again, with joe this was done retroactively, where we found out she had pined over him all summer and their anniversary was sept 28, and weâve even now got a hook up on Aril 29. For Matty, she met his mom in stage 1), then this stage was her announcing the break up on Mattyâs bday, and then planting stories that they were dating, that heâd go to Nash and thereâd be PDA, and then stories that she thought maybe he was the one who got away, and had quietly been in love with him for almost a decade.
3) launch, but keep it casual. Thereâs still time to back out if things go poorly. People have time to get used to it and talk about âare they or arenât theyâ serious, and you can control the narrative via media outlets and inside sources to set people up the way you want them to lean, all without even having them seen together more than once or twice. Set up a casual photo of them that seems to taken without their knowledge in a private moment. (Balcony with joe, private club with Matty, after party in KC with Travis.) This is far as she got with Matty then she cut her losses. Or I guess you could argue they had spilled into step 4). Itâs a spectrum. With joe, again this was done retroactively but also the summer of 2017, no one knew how serious they were until secret sessions/rep came out.
4) hard launch during movie opening weekend. WE ARE HERE. For Matty this was probably supposed to happen during speak now release. But who knows. For joe it was reputationâs release.
5) Optional: push things hard until enough people seem to be generally getting tired of it. I assume this is next with Travlor. No idea how long this will last. Days or weeks I think. With joe this wasnât a big deal because of the privacy narrative. No one could get tired of something they never saw (though they could get bored of it which was ok at that stage but boredom is the opposite of what she wants now.) With Travis I think this stage will be more of an important thing. If you go back to Calvin, this stage was most of their relationship.
6) cool things down so then people talk about âare they or arenât they still together?â This was a constant with joe. I think this was just at the end for Calvin and the answer was they werenât still together.
7) relaunch so everyone is excited to see them again. Steps 6-7 happened a lot with Joe naturally because of the privacy narrative. Will travlor get to this stage? I think so but it will be much accelerated. Like nothing for a week and people will wonder. Then, bang, sheâs there again. Something like that.
8) ongoing: periodically lightly escalate the seriousness of the relationship. Weâre already in this stage and it will continue. There is current chatter about her house shopping in KC. The usual (she actually BOUGHT a house one time for a man. And remember her Scottish castle, and how she and joe were constantly buying a London house for 6 years including furniture shopping right before they broke up?) And there will be constant talk of settling down and getting engaged.
9) and on and on until it ends. We could zoom through these stage over the next 2 weeks, or in seemingly endless loop of stages 6-9 for two years. No way to know until it ends or they get married, have 10 kids and teach them how to dream.
10) optional: black swan event. All bets are off.
I think itâs likely sheâll go to a couple of more games, and be seen spending as much time with him as reasonably possible before her next tour date. They need to âget to know each otherâ and âenjoy this fun honeymoon stage while theyâre both smittenâ while she can. Keep in mind her SA tour section is only 3 weeks long, and he could even potentially go to Argentina on his off week, so thatâs not really enough time for the âtheir busy schedules were too muchâ excuse. Possible but you know not as likely. Then sheâs off for for a couple of months again. Imagine the fun they can have over Christmas. Weâll skip the island vacation around new years or star-studded New Yearâs party this time because heâll still be playing football, so imagine her at playoff games. Sheâs getting literal millions of dollars in almost free publicity from this, and no matter how many people want to say sheâs getting negative attention or being over-exposed or whatever, I donât see it that way at all. Itâs going very very well. All for the price of a few hours of her time and some jet fuel. So, like I didnât see any reason for her to end it with joe because he was serving his purpose, I see no reason for this to end. Until she has reached her unknown-to-us goal.
There is a lot I canât see or know, so these are just my best guesses based on what weâve seen so far and what I see on their schedule for the next few months, and of course, my belief that this relationship not real.
#I also want to note that most of this is whatâs done for more ârealâ relationships#two celebs start dating and decide to go full PR power couple while theyâre at it.#most celebs are celebs because they are attention seekers and understand publicity and PR are part of the job#a lot of people accept this which makes Travlor seem plausible. even if they are using it for publicity#it could still be real
