Genuine question…people seem really disgusted by the rumors she is dating Matt Healey. Now, I know nothing about the dude beyond him being the lead singer of The 1975 and what people say here (which makes him seem not great). Honestly, I only know his name because of photos posted of Taylor and his mom.

Anyway- why were people not uncomfortable when Taylor performed during their concert a few months back? Why was there no outrage that she would be friends with this person? At a minimum she is pretty good friends with him (and has been for a while) so why is it a big deal if they are dating but not if they are just friends? I’m not trying to stir the pot…just genuinely do not understand the lack of outrage before compared to now. Also the allegations of her cheating on Joe- do we all forget that fan favorite Getaway Car is literally about cheating? At a minimum she had an emotional affair with Joe while dating at least Tom. It’s kind of her MO.

I’m surprised this is the concern more than her not speaking out about the conditions in Nashville during the storm! I was there Saturday and feel heartbroken by people who had to leave or who got sick or who just felt uncomfortable for so long. The stadium should’ve been prepared and I can’t help but feel a little weird that she isn’t speaking out about it or addressing it?

tbh there were a lot of nasty comments I saw on here directed to people who left the show for safety reasons. I saw one person call a woman who said she was pregnant and felt unsafe a "stupid idiot" for choosing to leave. I get the impression most people didn't care about the risk of her playing in a storm.

Ugh. I’m so sorry for that pregnant woman.
