probably in peak me-in-the-2024-presidental-election-season, I'm annoyed at This American Life because their third act in this week's podcast was an interview with a Brooklyn Trump voter having trouble getting dates because of his politics and like...
he said his straight female matches did not go on more than one date with him after learning about his politics and was baffled by it because politics shouldn't completely define your life, and the reporter pointed out that it might be because he is not directly impacted by his politics the way his dates are, but there was, once again, no explicit discussion of reproductive rights
like, even in nyc I feel like the women of America are very aware that a Trump supporter is either fine with or actively working towards laws that could result in your death. why engage in anything that even touches on reproduction with someone who is fine if you die as a result of it???

Why does Randy Harrison deserve compensation? What happened to him? You can DM me if it's not okay to be public
Hey! No it’s totally okay.
⚠️disclaimer - I am a NEW fan and so I am NOT the most informed at all. Other people like @brian-kinney-apologist like really know shit. I initially found things bc watching S4 made me go oh there is bts shit going on for sure and googled, and then when I got on tumblr I saw a bunch of posts talking about it, too.
Lots of older sources are harder to find now bc they didn’t do a digital preservation or the website is expired, but here is what I’ve found, from heated Advocate articles whilst the show aired and then from more measured reflections from podcasts around 2016.
Randy was young and it was his first TV show - when he started he didn’t even have an agent, and really didn’t know what he was getting into. He had done sex scenes on stage and thought that he was pretty prepared for what was to come.
However, he has stated he ended up feeling pretty objectified, such as hearing “we need more shots of Justin’s ass” regularly or expressing a desire to not to go-go dancing type scenes (King of Babylon upset him) and then even more go-go dancing being added (S2 Sap scenes). He was also told to act less gay by casting directors for the show, and to “try to be more butch because Justin isn’t out of the closet”
The show pre-dates intimacy coordinators and there have been allusions, including from the actresses Thea and Michelle, that the sex scenes could be uncomfortable to film.
There was BTS clashing, with producer Tony Jones !!reportedly!!! Saying that Randy was a bitch to work with and “showrunners” “reportedly” saying they would never work with Randy again. There are two interview clips, one from when the show was airing, and one from 2016, when CowLip say they wanted all actors to be comfortable on set, and in BOTH clips , like 15 years apart, Randy kinda like laugh/roll his eyes and Gale looks at him very bemusedly. They had bigger reactions in the ~2003 clip.
He was openly pretty angry as the show went on. He told the Advocate that he would never be friends with or respect Justin if real. He disapproved of the Britin relationship. He said he had to fight to include the scene of Justin topping Brian, which was very important to him. Leading into season 5 he stated he hoped Justin was killed off by getting hit by a truck (obviously being glib, but like he was mad lol)
He has said that lots of scenes needed to be reshot because he struggled to do them so much, like the Cody sexy gun scene that made him so uncomfortable, and then either he or Gale said S5 sex scenes were reshot a lot because they just couldn’t stop laughing at that point anymore.
Peter and Scott recently have said the only time anyone asked for actors’ opinions was right after season 1 ended, and to ME they sounded kinda cheeky about it, all these years later, so perhaps it was a cast sticking point? Unsure, and it wasn’t even Randy who said that. Fat grain of salt.
He has more recently reflected on this time period and expressed regret he went out the way he did, and he understands things better and honors his craft more (heavy paraphrasing!) bc he was mentally checked out by the end and wishes he had finished strong instead.
Also, the cast didn’t realize when signing on how isolated they would be from The Industry. Randy has spoken about this in an unrelated podcast, as have the actors who play Ted and Emmett. NYC or LA are where you want to be for networking, and then signing on to spend the majority of the year in Toronto negatively impacted their careers, they feel. Randy has said he had to start from scratch after the show ended, and Peter and Scott have said Showtime had no idea how to market the show nor their stars, and so they had to just watch as all the initial hype fizzled and nothing was done with them. They were contracted to work too much to seriously be involved elsewhere, while simultaneously not getting good exposure, which I IMAGINE created a dire sort of mood and morale on set. < personal interpretation and fictionalizing history.
Meaning, Randy probably at the very least FELT like he had spent five years on a show that didn’t respect him and it was largely for nothing. He has since stated he appreciates the opportunity and it is the reason he was finically secure, for which he is deeply grateful.
And then finally the fans! He had stalker(s?) and tons of creepy people and was heavily typecast and people would come up to him frequently, which made him uncomfy, and would furthermore act like he was actually Justin, which made him super uncomfy. He was kinda like Chappell Roan!! He was like hey I’m not Justin I’m a person and y’all are freaks. He has publicially declined to speak on the stalking issues, which given his vocal responses to other issues, indicates to ME that it’s pretty personal and upsetting (I mean it’s stalking it’s obviously horrible but you know what I mean). During the show he had a boyfriend that fans like tormented online and even on posters (that bit comes from Tumblr or another forum, so not like verified info on my part at all) because they shipped “Gandy” so hard. I know I’ve read on tumblr about the insane Gandy people but all I remember is they were intense and insane and negatively impacted Randy’s actual real life. Again, that’s info from fans that I haven’t read in article or heard from out of his mouth. Secondary source lol.
This point is PURE speculation, but early interviews with the whole cast were super excited, and they all talked about how excited they were for something ground breaking. By the end, people were angry or giving fluff responses, or in Peter’s case; calmly stating the show was a soap opera and that’s okay. I FEEL like everyone thought they were signing up for something more real/gritty/positive impact to society and then were like oh I’m here to look hot in this show that only moms watch to get them turned on to have sex with their husband. Cool.
Now, do I agree with that - no. But, the show audience was vastly different than expected, and the artistic direction might have been too, both of which might have really disappointed people. Esp Randy and maybe Gale. Randy was a capital T theatre person, and Gale was too and had lots of experimental work and like performance art. Randy has ALSO expressed displeasure with some theater work he did because he didn’t think it was fresh and the audience was only older wealthy white people, so we do know that this sort of thing does matter to his sense of fulfillment at work.
TLDR; had to shoot scenes he didn’t want to, several times, felt objectified on set, disagreed with his character’s direction, maybe felt like he wasn’t being listened to artistically, was cut off from other work opportunities, didn’t appear to get along with leadership, had bad fans, was young and in deep over his head, and at the very least *started* with no career or social support system.
Again!! Am not the most knowledgeable person !!! I do NOT want to spread misinformation so hopefully I’ve tagged where I’m reading into things vs actual quotes but also people who have actually been around pls feel free to say 🙋um actuallllyyyyy

== Love Notes ==
Hey there lovelies! It's the weekend for a bunch of you! Huzzah! Hopefully this week wasn't too crazy for you and you're getting a chance to take a load off! Tonight I really just wanted to say thank you for all your kindness. Seriously. You all remind me every day that the world isn't a dreary place, but one filled with wonder, light, and good-intentioned people. Whether you're sending @ofmdlovelyletters to crewmates, or sharing artwork/fics, or making beautiful gifs, or sharing stills, sending a quick dm to check in on folks, or a comment with something kind, you are making the world so much more manageable. Sometimes when I'm having a bad day at work, even if I don't have time to interact much, I just come on and scroll through tumblr and see all of the things you all are up to, and I can feel the warmth radiating from all the wonderful things you're doing.
I can feel the love, even when it's not directed at me, that's how much love there is out there. It's like coming home to a warm fire and a soft rug to lay on and a blanket, and a cup of hot tea to warm the soul. You all make so many tiny waves each day, and those waves come back and go on to make other waves, and there's nothing more wonderful than someone being kind when they could have been harsh. You make the world a better place. You make this world worth living in, and fighting for, and full of hope.
So yeah.. I just wanted to say thank you lovelies, you truly have helped so many people through so many things you'll never ever be able to comprehend, and you do it with love. Thank you for being kind, and loving, and you <3 PS: This made me think of you all, thank you for being that reason for me and so many others <3

i did a podcast with my ex-girlfriend earlier this year and the topic of our first date came up. it was nothing fancy -- just a nice little night out in new york city. the usual for a first date ... until we were walking home and a rat fell on my head. think my soul left my body at that very moment and it was officially labeled the worst date i've ever been on. my ex was great, but that rat? that rat ruined everything. it's like it was waiting in the tree to launch onto my head and give me a lifelong fear of the rodents. if you're going on dates in NYC then i highly suggest wearing a hard helmet, just saying. anyway, what has been your worst first date? i wanna hear all about it. leave no details out. @hfrpstarters

December 6 - Taylor Swift is announced as TIME Person of the Year - 2023 (x) This is a brilliant article - go check it out!
Tumblr media
Most recently, she’s been dating the NFL star Travis Kelce, as has been well documented when she attends his games. “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she says. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.” She is sensitive to the attention that’s put on her when she shows up. “I’m just there to support Travis,” she says. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
I point out that it’s a net positive for the NFL to have a few Swifties watching. “Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift says playfully. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.” (A game she attended in October was the most-watched Sunday show since the Super Bowl.)
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she says. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” The larger point, for her, is that there’s nothing to hide. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she says. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
Taylor attends the premiere of "Poor Things" in support of friend Emma Stone, Rockefeller Center, NYC. Taylor sat with Laura Dern, Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson

https://www.instagram.com/p/C8lSixSPwcq/ --sounds like a guy who's been doing some serious re-evaluating in his life. This is from his press day in Australia. Right around the time he liked that certain Instagram post shading Kaia. It's the timing of everything for me that puts everything into perspective:
NYC paparazzi pics come out of the two of them looking absolutely miserable together. There is no other way to look at those pics. Shippers can hide behind the "privacy and no one smiles for the paps" but nah, those are two people who are not in love.
Kaia's team does major damage control with that PM article about how "strong and in love" they are. Where is the love?
Austin goes to the Indy 500 and looks a million times happier around Jodie than he ever has around his actual girlfriend.
Life& Style comes out with an article from Austin's team pretty much saying this is it and Austin is done with Kaia. Just waiting for the right time to cut the cord, essentially.
Kaia goes on a trip without her boyfriend. Either her team or shippers send in a false sighting to DM. Despite the fact Austin was in Australia working.
Austin full on flirting with an interviewer in Australia. Like yes, Austin is a flirt (but again this is something shippers hide behind to keep their delusions alive). He's never been that full on with another woman. He was behaving like a guy who doesn't have someone at home.
LA press junkets come out. Austin and Jodie having a blast together. Then ET tries to slip in a comment about Kaia. Austin gets very uncomfortable and shuts that shit down ASAP.
All the Instagram likes. Austin hasn't been active on Instagram in a long time. At one point his team was running the account. Not anymore. He liked a couple of shady Instagram posts regarding his personal feelings towards Kaia. Again, the timing right after the article comes out.
The chemistry between Jodie and Austin is undeniable. A lot of innocent flirting and eye contact. Austin has never been like this during a press tour. Again people keep saying he's like this with everyone. He's really not though. Never has he acted the way he did with Jodie on this tour. He was at such ease with Jodie. They were very sweet on each other. The UK press junkets were refreshing. Seeing Austin be his true self and laugh. Not having to worry about being bombarded with questions about K.
Then we come back to LA and Austin regresses back to being uncomfortable on the red carpet. Basically gets corned on the carpet and is asked about Kaia. Barely acknowledges her and is very uncomfortable. Kate does nothing to help him out. (Side note: Kaia is standing on the red carpet with her PR person. Making sure she's seen.) Austin barely gives the media anything note worthy. Yet it got shippers all riled up. Oh and we can't forget the 2 second kiss that made headlines instead his movie...temporarily.
No less than an hour later Kaia's team strikes again with an article in PM and the first sentence is about how Kaia is the most supportive girlfriend ever!! 🙄 way to make it all about you once again Kaia.
Thankfully, those articles were much drowned out within 12 hours by Austin's team talking about his friendships with Ashley Tisdale and Sharon Stone.
Not to mention all the praise Austin and Jodie have been getting for this movie. We love to see that.
I can't forget all the mentions of Milo. I don't recall a press tour where Austin's personal life was targeted so much. But Milo had become a safe bet answer, until the Josh Horowitz podcast then it was awkward.
Also the fact that people keep trying to get him to talk about Kaia, and he refuses unless he's cornered. The man will talk about his real friends (Callum, Barry, Ashley, etc) with the biggest gleam. He'll talk freely about his family (who all very private people) with no hesitation. But the man can barely form 2 coherent sentences about a girl he's been dating for 2 years. There are so many private couples who enjoy their privacy but can still talk about each other with love. Austin can't do it.
Now we wait to see how the rest of the summer plays out.
I'm sure I missed some things. but this has been quite an interesting month...
This breakdown retrospective is truly immaculate, well done anon! There’s nothing more for me to say besides praise!

NEW YORK — An unindicted co-conspirator, an accused sexual harasser and a high-ranking cop alleged to have beaten a female subordinate were among Mayor Eric Adams’ most questionable appointees, until this week.
The forced resignation of New York City’s police commissioner, following a federal raid of his home, has intensified concerns about the mayor’s staffing decisions.
NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban’s departure — the first high-profile one since the feds seized phones from members of Adams’ inner circle last week — is the latest chapter in a saga that dates back even before January 2022 when Adams, freshly off his election victory, began filling his administration with people whose checkered pasts were almost certain to invite scrutiny.
When assembling his administration, Adams named Phil Banks deputy mayor of public safety, even though the former NYPD chief was caught a decade ago accepting gifts from people ultimately convicted of bribery.
Adams placed his old police boss and personal friend Tim Pearson in a powerful, nebulous adviser role and gave him control over a small new municipal office with unchecked power. Pearson is now facing four sexual harassment lawsuits, and one of his accusers alleged in court papers his behavior had been common knowledge for years.
The city “knew about” Pearson’s “long history of sexual misconduct … but ignored his history and hired him anyway,” one of the complaints reads. Pearson’s lawyer has denied all the allegations.
Now both Banks and Pearson have also had their phones seized by federal agents, alongside Caban.
The probes have raised new questions about the mayor’s judgment, and whether his loyalty to troubled aides has become an insurmountable political liability. Nearly every Democrat challenging him in his reelection primary next year is zeroing in on his perceived ethical lapses.
“Far be it for me to tell Eric Adams who to hire and fire. But it’s clear to me that he didn’t understand the most important part of being mayor,” Scott Stringer, the former city comptroller who is expected to run against Adams next year, said in an interview with POLITICO. “He made poor choices, and it’s come back to hurt him.”
The list goes on.
Jeffrey Maddrey, whom the mayor named chief of the NYPD, was accused of punching a fellow cop he’d coerced into a sexual relationship. A judge threw out the case, but he was docked 45 vacation days in an internal trial.
Adams’ former chief of staff is entangled in litigation over past business interests and his ex-buildings commissioner resigned amid an investigation that led to an indictment on bribery charges. He has pleaded not guilty.
In his personal life, Adams is close friends with twin brothers who pleaded guilty a decade ago to financial crimes. A pastor who has described Adams as a mentor was recently sentenced to nine years in jail for stealing a parishoner’s mother’s retirement savings.
Adams appointed an anti-gay Bronx clergyman as a faith adviser, over protests from LGBTQ+ groups. And one of his community liaisons is under federal investigation involving a visit to China she made with Adams.
Many of Adams’ picks to help lead the city’s sprawling government have been unimpeachable. But the list of Adams associates enmeshed in scandal continues to grow.
“It just raises questions to me as to why our mayor feels so incredibly comfortable surrounding himself with a myriad of unsavory characters,” said Christina Greer, a close watcher of city politics as a Fordham University political science professor and co-host of the FAQ NYC podcast.
“You’ve got people accused of punching people in the face, of sexual inappropriateness,” she added. “The list of grievances is long and getting longer, so why would you invite that into your inner circle?”
Adams prides himself on giving people second chances, and says his door is open to anybody. That comes from his own nontraditional political rise — from a dyslexic Black kid from Queens who got arrested and beaten by cops, to a police officer who courted controversy, to an elected official who would eventually mayor.
“Yes, I’m going to talk with people who have stumbled and fell,” Adams said in 2022. “Because I’m perfectly imperfect, and this is a city made up of perfectly imperfect people.”
The people Adams surrounds himself with — both personally and professionally — have earned him criticism going back three decades, to the dawn of his political career.
Adams’ first run for office, a 1994 challenge to a congressional incumbent, was doomed in part by his alliance with Louis Farrakhan, the antisemitic Nation of Islam leader. Soon after, Adams was investigated as a cop for working security for boxer Mike Tyson, who was fresh out of prison after a rape conviction.
After winning a seat in the state Senate, Adams became a friend and the top defender of the so-called four amigos, Democrats who caused chaos in the chamber by defecting from their party. Three of the amigos have since served prison time, for unrelated crimes. The fourth, Rubén Díaz Sr., has become a fierce ally of former President Donald Trump.
Later, Adams got involved in the bidding process for a slot machine contract with fellow state Sens. John Sampson and Malcolm Smith. The arrangement fell apart, and Adams got dinged for “exceedingly poor judgment” in an ethics report. Sampson and Smith both later went to prison for unrelated crimes.
As mayor, Adams’ plan to appoint his own brother Bernard to a well-paid NYPD gig leading his security team raised eyebrows. Adams only asked for ethics guidance after the fact, an internal watchdog reduced his title, and dropped Bernard’s salary to $1. He left after a year.
Adams also tapped nonprofit executive Sheena Wright to be a deputy mayor, a decade after she’d been arrested twice in a day over a domestic dispute. Her friend David Banks called his brother, NYPD bigwig Phil Banks to intervene, and Wright was let out and the charges were dropped.
Wright and David Banks, Adams’ schools chancellor, now live together. They were both among the top appointees who had their phones seized by federal investigators last week — maybe the latest example of Adams’ appointment decisions coming back to bite him.
Adams’ loyalty does have its limits. He cut ties with the pastor he mentored, kept his distance as one of the four amigo state senators, Hiram Monserrate, has attempted political comebacks, and now, pushed out Caban.
“There comes a time when we have to look and see: Is our loyalty to the detriment of the people of New York? And if that point is reached, then you need to make hard judgment calls,” said state Sen. James Sanders, a southeast Queens Democrat who endorsed Adams for mayor in 2021.
“I think that when the mayor comes out of this situation,” Sanders added on the latest raids, “he will have learned many valuable lessons.”

Talk Shop Tuesday Q: What are the main source(s) of inspiration for your vintage AU? The breadth of references you cover is honestly incredible, and I'm always curious what initially kickstarted big AUs like that one!
I used to wonder why a medievalist like myself suddenly became very interested in the 1970s. And it has to do with I believe my primary hobby is Reasearch. I am always researching everything. I like figuring out what people do, and the objects they interact with and the places they go. I like spending time in a place in time or amongst a subculture.
The main inspiration of my current fic set in the late 70s.... Honestly? It was Copia’s car.
Tumblr media
I was like, huh, I wonder if that’s Primo’s car. A guy that chill has some serious secrets. Like wouldn’t it be funny if Primo was a hitman for the ministry. Yes, Hitman for the Ministry started as a JOKE. It’s not a joke anymore.
I then made a timeline with general milestone dates. I used 2018’s Terzo’s kidnapping as a starting point. Then I added to the timeline and I started to see interesting parallels. Terzo runs away? Oh, Papa Camino dies in 1984 and they go to this funeral in NYC, that’s a good time for Terzo to run away. Oh, Secondo/Marian/Sandra polycule serendipitously fizzles out the same year Secondo’s son by Sandra is born. Hmmm…and on and on I went. It helps to have a basic timeline in your brain. I personally love legacy films aka plots with lots of family drama and honor. (I guess it ties into my interest in medieval stuff like chivalry) Like The Godfather series or Road to Perdition or Gangs of New York. Generations striving.
It helps to have a basic location too, even if you don't express it explicitly. You can describe things better. People behave in certain ways based on their location or time period. Plots come from that behavior.
I had just finished an amazing podcast about Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground by No Dogs in Space and I loved Nico. I felt Nico would be such a good Papa Emeritus figure. And so I started watching everything about Nico and Lou Reed that I could. And I listened to more and more music that influenced them or was inspired by them.
I watch a LOT of footage on YouTube. Lots of home video, live concert footage, tutorials, everything. If I want to write a noir I watch noir movies. I loved Boogie Nights and I put that in there too. V & G is Boogie Nights meets Goodfellas meets The Omen I guess haha. Pinterest is great for photos but be careful about accurate sources if you're doing actual research. It's better for figuring out a "vibe" if anything. Watching this footage or listening to this music helps me get a feel for a place. I sometimes watch it all over and over and it's how I "prime" myself to get back into a WIP.

Kaia was photographed on Tuesday, if the photo of Austin in the club is not from yesterday it doesn't matter, because Kaia was in NY and maybe Austin didn't take her to party with his friends, he doesn't go to family weddings and family vacations either, stop to be so clowns and open your eyes.
👏👏
Speaking of vacations lol, has anyone ever seen Austin and Kaia take "romantic" vacations outside of Cabo and family vacays lol?? 🤔😅
With Vanessa, it seemed like Austin and Vanessa were always traveling together. They would be spotted going and coming to and from the airport together all the time. They had pictures on boats, overseas, on adventures, at parks, etc. They went tons of places together. Austin even referred to a trip to Italy that he and Vanessa once took together in his podcast interview with Ruthie. Those are memories he will probably never forget. With Kaia though, it seems we hardly ever see them traveling unless it's for work, or another family vacation in Cabo. You never hear of them just taking a vacation just because. I see other couples doing it, I just wonder why it seems like in the 2 years they've been dating, they don't really seem to vacation too often or too many places. I don't really count NYC as a "vacation" either lol.

I really believe that his ex thought that Taylor is just a fling or it is just pr. Her friends who had podcast was saying it was all pr to cover her involvement with Matty then the album came out. Lol. I also read that one of her close friends was posting on insta how crazy Taylor is for buying a house in KC within 2 months of dating and quickly deleted it after tmz reported that Travis bought it for Taylor’s privacy. Lmao. The ex really thought she could wiggle herself back in Travis life so she was still going to KC to hangout with Brit but Travis was in NYC with Taylor. Lol
I wanted to feel bad for KN because Taylor went through the same thing with Joe but KN just keeps reeking of desperation.

Hi, I wanted to ask, what are your personal hc for tbs caracters after the canon timeline? like what is caleb doing with his ability and did sam leave the am and do joan and jackson ever happen or is that too caught up in owen? what is damien doing and what about olivers arc? and where is chloe-
im sorry ill shut up now im way too invested in these caracters
no, never shut up! I love hearing from people who are invested in these characters!
this isn't something everyone knows, because it's hard to get the word out about things not on the podcast feed, but the technically last bit of canon TBS timeline is this planner that most of the characters write in for Caleb and Adam's graduation. there's not a ton of concrete information in that, but the broad strokes are that Caleb and Adam move to the NYC area, Frank and Chloe are back in Boston, Oliver and Frankie are friends, Frankie and Caitlin are dating, Oliver and Mark are...something, and Sam and Mags are also something!
I realize I answered none of your wonderful questions with that and...I''m sorry to say I can't! not because I don't have ideas, but because I don't like to publicly say much about the post-canon lives of the characters (no matter how much I emphasize that they're my HCs, I know that the creator saying something can still kill the fun for some fans!). sometimes I'll speculate/toss out headcanons with the Pals in our discord server but otherwise, I really like to leave it open for fandom to do whatever they want and to leave myself room should I ever want to go back in and do something in this universe (unlikely, but never say never!).
I'm sorry I can't give firmer answers but would love to hear your ideas for where the characters end up!

Taylor & Travis Timeline
September 2023 - part 2
September 18 - Sports commentator, Rich Eisen, posts a video to instagram of him making Taylor Swift song references during Travis' training (x). “Look what you made me do, @killatrav.” 
"The injury, one would think is delicate. He's been able to shake it off"
Travis replies
"Well played Rich... Well played 👏🏻😂"
September 19 - Taylor dine at Via Carota Italian Restaurant, NYC with Sophie Turner and friends (x). A diner shares her observations (x). Did Taylor receive a text from Travis? They later moved on to Temple Bar , NYC
Tumblr media
Travis Kelce speaks with Kristen Cavallari on her podcast Let's Be Honest where they talk dating. Travis says he is not interested dating someone "high maintenance" but the "initial spark is always fun" and looking for a partner "based on how kind hearted and sweet like my mother is" and they need to "have some sweetness to you" (x)
“To really dive into a relationship with somebody I feel like it’s going to take at least, I don’t know, it’s going to take some time,” Kelce said. “It’s not going to be immediate because, the stuff I’ve been through, just in my past, I feel like you really gotta know somebody to take that step and really be committed and be in full-throttle. I can’t just meet somebody and just automatically think that forever is just a day away … I think it takes quite a bit of time for somebody to really get to know somebody and really get to find that affection and love for them.” When asked if feels any sort of pressure about settling down, Kelce said he is “living my life” and is hopeful that when the time comes, everything falls into place.  “I like to believe that all of that stuff will come genuine and natural and I won’t have to think about getting into that part of my life ahead of time, the stars will align, I guess,” he said.
September 20 - Jason Kelce, on the WIP morning show, is asked about the Taylor and Travis rumours, and he responds
"Its hard to answer because I don't really know a lot about what's happening in Travis' love life... but having said that, I think he's doing great and I think its all 100% true, and i hope this thing goes a mile - no I'm joking, I don't know what's happening."
(x 0:30)
September 21 - Travis, on the Pat McAfee show, says he thought it was "hilarious" how much traction the situation had, saying
“I threw the ball in her court... I told her I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock a stage in Arrowhead and see which one is a little more lit. We’ll see what happens in the near future”
So at this point it's obvious that arrangements had been made for Taylor to attend Travis' next game at Arrowhead Stadium, on Sept 24th. (x)
The Messenger publishes an article (x) Aol (x)
"She and Travis have hung out twice, and it's nothing serious. She thinks he is very charming, and they have been texting this last week," the insider exclusively tells The Messenger. "He is a little embarrassed at how much attention they are getting, but he has told her he would love to continue seeing her. Furthermore, the insider said the two are “seeing where things go.”
On Twitter:
Tumblr media
September 22 - At his Kelce Car Jam (x), Travis is seen wearing a 'Vigilante Sh*t' friendship bracelet, given to him by a swiftie at the event (x)
Tumblr media
September 24 - Chiefs v Chicago Bears, Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City. The Chiefs defeat the Bears 41 - 10.
The day Taylor and Travis broke the internet. Taylor enters Arrowhead Stadium with Travis’ friends (x) Taylor is seen with Travis' mum, Donna, in Travis' suite at Arrowhead Stadium. During the game, Travis gets a touchdown and Taylor reaction goes viral, as she's seen hi-5ing, chest bumping, yelling and banging on the glass. Notably, her reaction receives more airtime than the actual plays of the match and it makes international news. After the game, Taylor and Travis drive off in his convertible and have dinner together at the Prime Social Rooftop. After this, the two reportedly celebrate with the team and leave the venue between 1am and 2am. (x seemingly ranch origins)
