No. I am pretty sure that bracelet saga was all planned and scripted to start this narrative. // [ prefacing this to say i'm not trying to argue, just curious and trying to understand some things better, thank you for your time x ]
if this was pre-planned, why would she try to tap into the nfl side? there are other industries/fields she could've profited from heavily and gained male audiences from â f1 is actually not so bad of an alternative, there were already dating rumours/jokes that she could've leaned into and maximised the hype. the nfl seems like a really random venture and it does more harm than good? the only thing it managed to accomplish is to redirect and concentrate people's attention in one place.
This was a business deal that involved a lot of people.
NFL wanted to grow their female audience. Bring on Taylor Swift.
AMC Theatres was founded in Kansas City. Hence the Chiefs jersey with AMC Theatres name on the back in a photo with Taylor (see below). She bypassed the traditional Hollywood studios and partnered with AMC Theatres, the world's biggest cinema chain.
Taylor had a film deal through AMC Theatres for her Eras Film. She was able to get free commercials/promo for it by working with the NFL. They ran commercials and the commentators mentioned the film and Taylor.
The Chiefs and TK got massive exposure, making money off merchandise, etc.
I will not tolerate any London Boy disrespect because that song is the cheekiest fuck you to the PR narrative and here is why!
1. Lover was recorded and finished at the time that this song was created and added last minute - we know this because Cautious Clay confirmed he received a call after the date we know lover was completed, he was given 24 hours to respond to using his song as an interpolation on London Boy.
2. That song by Cautious Clay called Cold War features in the lesbian sex scene in BookSmart- which Taylor posted publicly about watching. This was not a popular song at the time!
3. The audio at the start is Idris Alba talking about going on a paid date and what they might do â âWe could go riding on my scooterâ
Sooo she finishes the album, (if you subscribe to lover coming out theory) had to quickly backtrack on plans and add a song to the lover is about Joe narrative. Picks a song from one of the most iconic lesbian sex scenes of that year, calls up the artists and gives him 24 hours to accept, makes a new song, samples Idris Alba talking about fake dates, the lyrics are âYou know I love a London boyâ â not âI loveâ, sheâs poking fun at the public perception of her life. Itâs brilliant, itâs satirical, iâm upset that more people donât get it.
Funny little âcoincidenceâ: I was recently at victorias secret london and i havent been there for a while so i dont know how recent this is but they used to have the costume taylor wore at the show in 2013 there on a mannequin (havent seen it this time im not sure if its still there because the floor it used to be on was closed) and now they also have some of the wings that have been worn by angels before on display and they had karlies wings from 2014 at the entrance and guess what the tag says.
âDream girl karlieâ
as in: âi could still melt your world, argumentative anti-ethical dream girlâ
Bonus: if they still have taylors costume, they are there at the same time, in the same building, out in the open together đ„ș
i recently saw a tweet with pictures of taylorâs 2013 british invasion opener outfit in the shop window!
can anyone go investigate if karlieâs 2014 dream girl wings are there at the same time??
It amazes me how the know-it-all swifties vying for the title of Taylorâs favorite fan bestie on the former bird app have no idea how PR works (not that Iâm an expert) but were world-renowned scholars about it back in May.
From what I gather by their logic, itâs PR (or âclout chasingâ) when itâs someone they donât like or who they no longer like. Remember how Toe was the greatest thing since sliced bread for 6 years and her âsaviorâ? Now heâs a âjobless loserâ who âdidnât let Taylor bejeweledâ. Lol
The comment that irks me the most is one where someone said:
âTheyâre the last people to need a PR relationshipâ
AgainâŠwalk with me here. Grab a jacket because those fall temps are hitting in some places. Plus, aesthetic. lol
Travis, an NFL player, signed with CAA in May for representation off the field. Who is Travis Kelce outside of the NFL? He isnât going to play football forever. Athletes build brands just as musicians and actors/actresses do.
He mentioned the friendship bracelet thing on his podcast in July. It got attention.
So what would his off the field representation do? Capitalize on it. Itâs like when someone goes viral doing something funnyâall of a sudden, theyâre scoring brand deals, etc. because some company sees a way to profit from it.
Why would they capitalize on the bracelet story? To build his platform.
How do they capitalize on it? By emphasizing the fact that he went to the one of the biggest tours this year by one of the biggest artists of the year.
Because their job is to secure endorsement deals, etc. for him. They make money when he makes money. If they arenât doing their job to his standards, they get fired. If they get fired, the money stops coming from him.
Their website literally says:
In addition to draft preparation and contract negotiation, we provide elite athletes with top-of-the-line marketing services. Our commitment to client service is reflected in everything we do.
Since CAA represents top talent across film, television, broadcasting, music and digital, we can create one-of-a-kind opportunities and partnerships for football clients.
Ask yourselvesâhow much have you ever heard about Taylor during an NFL game or even in the same sentence as the NFL before this? Only that she turned down the half time show, right? Or if someone was trying to be funny and make a joke about her at her expense.
However, after the rumors started, all you heard were puns about her in reference to who? Travis.
All the headlines today have done what? Mentioned how Travis âpursuedâ her as if it were some decades long mission, when this all came about from a story he toldâŠin July.
Watch. You will see articles about âwho are Travis & Jason Kelceâ or âWho is Donna Kelceââagain, building the platform and introducing him to an audience outside of football.
After he originally told the bracelet story, he had pretty much left it alone.
Until recently. Comical.
We know Taylor isnât trying out for the NWSL or WNBA anytime soon. She really only gets a male sports fan audience and she doesnât even really need that.
Yes, Iâm over analyzing. I tend to do that and fully admit it. Iâve been on several hills by myself, quite comfortably. Lâs and all.
Btw, thereâs even an article about Sophie and Taylorâs dinner outings being a top tier PR move. So why canât the same be said about this?
i haven't been on social media for awhile, forgive me if this has already been discussed/considered, since taylor sang new years day at the show that karlie went to, do we think anything significant is going to happen on new year's day 2024?Â
No idea. So far they are taking very careful baby steps. I doubt they will pull something huge and drastic.
