"Winning the Super Bowl? What, like its hard?" - Taylor Swift
Listen, I don't need to go through it ALL over again, do I? Swifties....win. We just do. She does, so he does, so they do, so we do. The only difference this time? STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOORS, PLEASE. If you weren't already IN, you are OUT. The Swifties will not be accepting any new bandwagon fans after this absolute triumph, over not only the haters and the losers, but also what seems lately to be the ENTIRE WORLD ONLINE. If you rolled your eyes, or complained about her being on screen, complained that Travis was "too distracted to play," being a fucking stalker and tracking her plane 24/7 so you can try to get her cancelled for being rich, etc etc, you can GET TO STEPPIN'. I'm not kidding. The Swiftiverse is full. Mind the gap and get the fuck off this train.
I know that Taylor herself did not win this football game. Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs who worked their ass off and got here. But what you need to remember is...as Patrick Mahomes said, "The Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs." They are winners, and they attract winners. Taylor Swift is also, NEVER the underdog. When she becomes a part of something, all she does is make it better. So yes, this team worked so hard and had such a magic about them, and Taylor added some of her light to help them shine as much as they deserved to. She brought new eyeballs from all over the world, added nothing but positive energy and good vibes, and let the stars align to give us all the movie of the fucking century. Yet STILL, STILL there are people who won't just throw in the towel on the hater train. She has too much luck! She's too happy! She has too many fans! Who knows if these people are even real, but I'm here to tell you to quit while you're ahead.
What we just witnessed was a divine twist of fate. We've been rewarded with something good, something positive, something exciting - no questions asked. We're all so broken and angry for no reason that we can't even FATHOM something on TV being genuine, or pure. We might want to sit there in disbelief, talk shit about it and pretend it's all a big fuss for nothing, but deep down its because we don't want to get our hopes up so high about something that sounds straight from a storybook. We've been taught "LIFE ISN'T FAIR!" "LIFE'S NOT LIKE THE MOVIES!" How could we possibly believe something like this would actually happen? How can we begin to process a real, actual...happy ending? Its become so impossible for us to enjoy anything at face value, the planets, fates and all the stars had to align to slap us in the face with something we can simply enjoy. Something not only to light a spark, but to engulf us in flames of hope, love, family, friendships, teamwork and success. It all exists! It's right there! Maybe you're not a famous NFL player or a once in a generation Pop Star, but those things are real. The dynamic between these two and their friends and family is so NORMAL, relatable, and something people crave. This ending, with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce kissing under the confetti at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, 33 hours after Taylor finished her fourth show in Japan, kicking off a new year of touring, is real. It happened in real life.
Doesn't that make you think about what ELSE could happen?
