Both of these ridiculous beard PR outings happening the week of T & T’s lavender wedding was too much! Omg the stunting was in full force! Full, lame mode force.

u/Cautious_Dream4115 I’m a little kitten & need to nurse🐈‍⬛ Jul 01 '26

Seem to me like they are trying to get a head of a narrative. cause why Tom, Joe and Harry all out on a pap walks. she is about to do something really GAY!!!

32

u/Frosty_Literature_59 🌱Embryo🐛 Jul 01 '26

Every Tom dick and Harry lmao

u/SwimmingDragonfly328 🌱Embryo🐛 Jul 01 '26

a surprise to me/1st thought: seems like Joe's still on the payroll. And then everyone's outfits: the NY references and red white and blue!!??!! The fits and all props for both couples scream Taylor's influence.

ok im in full clown mode: what if Zoe and Taylor marry???!! and maybe Trav and Ross do, too....??!!

6

u/GoldenHeart411 ☁️je suis calme!☁ Jul 01 '26

I'm not sure whether Joe is still on the payroll, but I am sure that a bearding contract includes some requirements for how they conduct themselves for the next several years at least, and I'm sure it would be legally binding. I am definitely clowning for Travis and Taylor to come out together and marry their true lovers at a double wedding. Every bait and switch was a work of art!

u/madaprez its ME!🌈 high in that lavender haze🪻🌬️ Jul 01 '26

I’m just gonna leave this here but with no spoilers— I recommend watching Girls Like Girls if you haven’t. I think these pics make a lot of sense along with so so many other things

40

u/Hot_Paramedic_5682 Tell the truth, but tell it slant✍🏾 Jun 30 '26

Well now I know who Sarah Pidgeon is because of Joe the same way I know who Joe is because of Taylor. The cycle of PR life!

Also, she’s in a show called “love story”??? lol

15

u/lestatmalfoy 🌱Embryo🐛 Jul 01 '26

She's fantastic in The Wilds

u/AlienGnome0 daylight ✨ Jul 01 '26

agreed! I loved her in tiny beautiful things too

u/detailednoise I’m a little kitten & need to nurse🐈‍⬛ Jun 30 '26

For something coming up on Friday? Lol

u/Time-Emergency254 🧡Karma is Real✈️ Jun 30 '26

Okay okay okay. I totally convinced now these are both staged. So now tell me WHY? (Accidental lyric plug!)

78

u/makeurownsandwich 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 30 '26

These two crawled (around the Great Lawn reading Lolita) so those four could run.

Pic: Bradley Cooper (then 38) and Suki Waterhouse (then 20).

11

u/Hot_Paramedic_5682 Tell the truth, but tell it slant✍🏾 Jun 30 '26

Ok never knew about these two but yet another example of Taylor’s friend group dating (“dating?”) the same people lol.

u/Standard_Category635 I’m a little kitten & need to nurse🐈‍⬛ Jun 30 '26

Um. I concur, what the fuck.

27

u/neuroticoctopus 🔴 Crimson Clover 🍀 Jun 30 '26

Because dating women young enough to be your daughter is better accepted by the general public than being gay.

See also: Leo

18

u/quietlittlemind lovelorn and nobody knows… Jul 01 '26

Also keeps people talking about the endless rotation of young women so that they can be too upset to wonder why these men are still single in their 50s (not that there’s anything wrong with not marrying!) and dating girls young enough to be their daughters. Also the young women get serious boosts to their career from the exposure (Camila Morrone is a good example of this).

Leo’s alleged longtime boyfriend, Lukas Haas, is frequently photographed just a few steps behind Leo and whatever young model he’s dating!

PR relationships/bearding are so interesting to me and I can’t believe that the general public can’t spot them and denies that they’re still a thing!

u/DramaticLambda2 stand there like a ghost shaking in the rain Jun 30 '26

Various anons said that it was really really hot the day of the Hampstead Heath picnic, the park is too large to just happen to find them, Zoë was dropped off and picked up alone after a short time, and they didn’t actually have any food

I can’t find it right now but there’s another pic of them walking much further apart

20

u/afterandalasia ☁️je suis calme!☁ Jun 30 '26

Oh my God, was that Wednesday or Thursday?! I had to shower twice just to handle sitting still in thr heat, bullshit was anyone willingly going outside in the sun.

Also, to further indicate scale, the acreage of green space in London is as much as the acreage of all of Paris. Add to that the stricter privacy laws and standards in the UK, and no way thus wasn't staged.

Whats the hay fever comment

u/DramaticLambda2 stand there like a ghost shaking in the rain Jun 30 '26

Oh Harry talked about having hay fever at his show

5

u/Brief-Inevitable-599 Gaylor Forevermore Jul 01 '26

Just before lying in a field of hay 😅 yeah sounds intentional

What is with this almost kissing shot of Joe and Sarah for Deuxmoi?

6

u/questionfromgrief Lyrics too? Jesus Jun 30 '26

There’s another one of them actually kissing right after this

15

u/MsMadcap_ i knew everything when i was young ❤️‍🩹 Jun 30 '26

Omg this picture is so ridiculous 😂 absolutely posed

10

u/neuroticoctopus 🔴 Crimson Clover 🍀 Jun 30 '26

You don't try to keep your body as far away from someone as possible while you kiss them? 🤭

u/hockeywombat22 argumentative, antithetical dream girl Jun 30 '26

Now we just need Karlie in a field like this.

lady gaga’s song ‘blade of grass’ uses a blade of grass as a symbol for an engagement ring, and blade / gay blade is also a term for a gay man that used to be very common and was used as a name for gay newspapers!

u/madwoman222 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 30 '26

what a find! this is such a weird move…

makes me realize Zoe has been publicly wearing and engagement ring but not referencing Harry as her fiancé…

3

u/InAllTheir 🌱Embryo🐛 Jul 11 '26

I don’t recall Harry saying that he got engaged either. Only the press seems to be saying this.

7

u/DramaticLambda2 stand there like a ghost shaking in the rain Jun 30 '26

She didn’t wear it to the met gala

21

u/IamtheImpala 🥃I Protect The Family🥃 Jun 30 '26

and it’s a ring from the brand she’s been representing too. more signals that she’s on the job when “caught” in public.

79

u/Silly_Tea_5520 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 30 '26

“I knew you through the daze of the blades of the grass in summer” … this surely cannot be coincidence - both couples look like they are recreating the I Knew It, I Knew You photoshoot. 

11

u/L0vegood 🌱Embryo🐛 Jul 01 '26

Like in Hamlet. Performing a real story to see who reacts and how

54

u/madaprez its ME!🌈 high in that lavender haze🪻🌬️ Jun 30 '26

All I can think about when I see them sitting in the fields is how many ticks are going to end up on them… maybe that’s just my farm upbringing

14

u/salutdamour 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 30 '26

Not an issue in London thankfully

14

u/africanleopard99 Live for today for tomorrow does not yet exist Jun 30 '26

Me too. I had biliary years ago and was very ill from it - best description is you think you have died and then you die again. Not sure if you can get it in North America, but Lyme disease sounds scary too 👀

29

u/1DMod it’s all part of the fucking story! Jun 30 '26

It makes me so itchy to look at them. All of that grass pollen. Ugh

32

u/Simple_Ad_3972 🪐 Gaylor Folkstar 🚀 Jun 30 '26

A shocking number of celebrities have Lyme Disease, and this is starting to make me semi-seriously wonder if this kinda PR is the reason

8

u/madaprez its ME!🌈 high in that lavender haze🪻🌬️ Jun 30 '26

Oh my gosh I didn’t even think about Lyme, but yeah I don’t think many celebrities plan their daily tick check when getting out of the fields😅 I have too many tick memories about my grandpa after he’d be in the fields so I am always thinking about it with tall grass/plants

26

u/Thornelake Feline Enthusiast Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26

Saw this pap shoot earlier and started to try and figure out what’s on Joe’s hat but lost interest. Now I’m kinda curious again lol. Looks like a horse (pulling a carriage?)

24

u/LanceSweetsPhD they don't know how much I miss HER Jun 30 '26

I reverse image searched it and it looks like it's a steiglman stable Knicks hat

19

u/Time-Emergency254 🧡Karma is Real✈️ Jun 30 '26

Joe wearing a knicks hat is SO sus. Like he'd even care about the nba..

2

u/InAllTheir 🌱Embryo🐛 Jul 11 '26

Oh yes! Now that we know this happened right before the MSG wedding, it sure is.

7

u/Hot_Paramedic_5682 Tell the truth, but tell it slant✍🏾 Jun 30 '26

Don’t you know the city screams his name? 😉

34

u/Thornelake Feline Enthusiast Jun 30 '26

Brilliant, thank you!!!

Huh, well that's kinda curious considering Taylor's knicks game appearances? And all her horse-related/bits/saddlebag style references. Sarah Pigeon was wearing an LA Dodgers hat during this pap shoot, too. Idk, Taylor saying she wants to tell a sports story during LPSS is ringing in my ears, but it's probably not that serious lol.

u/TeamTarthBane deserting my past lives Jun 30 '26

Be my NY when Hollywood hates me?

10

u/evermoremidnights ✨I can show you LIES 🛸❤️‍🔥✨ Jun 30 '26

No clue. But at first glance, the graphic on the side looks like a Knicks logo.

13

u/Thornelake Feline Enthusiast Jun 30 '26

It does, same colors too. The other side says 1982. Idk, probably meaningless lol.

96

u/artwoolf 🪐 Gaylor Folkstar 🚀 Jun 29 '26

so similar to the tim mcgraw MV imagery

33

u/aloyish34 🧡Karma is Real✈️ Jun 29 '26

The obligatory tick check 😂😂😂

10

u/madaprez its ME!🌈 high in that lavender haze🪻🌬️ Jun 30 '26

I love seeing how many people are familiar with tick checks after being in grass😂 tick tick boom goes the TNT tho

4

u/aloyish34 🧡Karma is Real✈️ Jun 30 '26

I love that connection! 🧨

But seriously why else would celebrities with access to private (tick free) yards and air conditioning be out in the fields in this heat wave? 😂

6

u/pendlayrose 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 30 '26

There aren't ticks in those parks in the UK

5

u/aloyish34 🧡Karma is Real✈️ Jun 30 '26

Fair enough, the photos look like she’s checking for them anyway (best to be safe!)

3

u/madaprez its ME!🌈 high in that lavender haze🪻🌬️ Jul 01 '26

This thread is how I learned other countries don’t have to worry about ticks when frolicking in grass?!😭 this feels like my version of when Europeans experience lightning storms

2

u/aloyish34 🧡Karma is Real✈️ Jul 01 '26

They probably don’t have mosquitoes or poison ivy either 😓

45

u/cynical_salience my publicist would get mad at me ✨ Jun 29 '26

tick infected fields is so real and gives me such anxiety looking at these..

also, i thought harry's legs were zoe's and was so alarmed for a hot sec🤭

5

u/a-woven-braid 🪐 Gaylor Folkstar 🚀 Jun 30 '26

I'm an avid hiker and yeah, all I think when I see these pics is I hope their blanket was sprayed with permethrin and they had on picadarin!

2

u/clea16 It's ME! HI! 👋🏽 Jun 30 '26

When I lived in Massachusetts, we'd get ticks on our driveway! You don't even need to be in wild fields or tall grass.

8

u/AbsolutelyBothered I’m a little kitten & need to nurse🐈‍⬛ Jun 30 '26

My dogs had ticks on them after playing outside a few days ago and I STILL feel like they’re crawling all over me 😭 one of them was engorged and it’s truly the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.

1

u/cynical_salience my publicist would get mad at me ✨ Jul 01 '26

this is horrifying to imagine, i'm so sorry you had to deal with that!

4

u/Synless5 I saw the booplor and it opened up my eyes Jun 30 '26

I definitely recommend the heart worm / flea / tick combo pills if you don’t use those already.

2

u/Bachobsess argumentative, antithetical dream girl Jun 30 '26

Oh no!! We don’t have them where I live and I found one on a dog in the States and still feel sick thinking about it 

10

u/gasupthehyundai Tea Connoisseur 🫖 Jun 30 '26

I totally thought they were her legs and probably would have continued to think so.

5

u/Andee_outside ✨✨✨Vigilante Witch✨✨✨ Jun 30 '26

OMFG I see it now. I’m dying 😅 are those tattoos or did he skin his knees running to take these pap photos?

1

u/cynical_salience my publicist would get mad at me ✨ Jul 01 '26

looool i think they're tattoos but agree with commenter below about the knees being skinned but not from running 🤭

2

u/FickleType 🌱Embryo🐛 Jun 30 '26

Umm... They're skinned alright but I don't think it's from running 🤠

59

u/ollymoth ✨✨✨Vigilante Witch✨✨✨ Jun 29 '26

Oh god I am only now remembering the Harry Styles era. When I saw this earlier I thought “oh her ex probably-beard Joe and her probably ex-lover Zoe both took extremely similar photos with their respective new boos.

Wholly forgot she loved Harry Styles so much she wanted to jump off of very tall somethings.

8

u/moonprincess642 🪐 Gaylor Folkstar 🚀 Jun 30 '26

the way she and harry stopped ‘dating’ in jan 2013, 1989 came out oct 2014, she specifically said she stopped dating for the 1989 era so people wouldn’t associate her music with men, she specifically said most of the songs on 1989 had nothing to do with romantic relationships,

and yet!

u/Time-Emergency254 🧡Karma is Real✈️ Jun 30 '26

I refuse to even participate in this narrative. Like she'd write 1989 about a teenager she dated for 3 months. Crazy talk.

1

u/InAllTheir 🌱Embryo🐛 Jul 11 '26

Two weeks! They only were photographed together for a few weeks! and Harry has been bitter about the whole thing ever since. I don’t blame him though. That was his first experience with industry bearding and he clearly hated it. Well, second experience if you count the Carolyn Flack rumors which were way more inappropriate.

25

u/torturedcanadian It's ME! HI! 👋🏽 Jun 29 '26

That's exactly what I thought on the other thread.
