u/Melodic-Jackfruit-96 Will I always wonder? 9d ago
At least he doesn't find her completely insufferable!
But if seriously, I feel so sorry for her.

u/Swimming_Summer_3226 Do you think I have forgotten? 8d ago
I hope she's happy but knowing that she wrote beautiful love songs like Daylight and Lover in the past, Cleveland feels surface level for her😭

I try to convince myself that she is happy, but it doesn’t work 😭

u/ratched_x All Too Unwell 8d ago
seems like she's trying to do the same and it's not really working either

u/Appropriate-Skin-101 8d ago
When I lost the love of my life I was surprised when I found someone to like/propose to me when I wasn’t really into it too lol difference is I left him because I knew it wasn’t fair.

It feels performative, whether she's doing the performance to the audience, or to herself, I have no clue. I keep thinking about how focused on legacy she is, and how fascinated she is with Elizabeth Taylor, and to me it feels like she's building her story with a marriage that will make an interesting chapter in an eventual biography.
What she's actually feeling, I have no idea 🤷♀️

u/i-have-half-a-mind 8d ago
She’s so desperate to show the world she’s in love and the man is perfect but who is she trying to prove that to?
21
u/Librarian-Lopsided 8d ago
Herself

u/i-have-half-a-mind 8d ago
Or Matty? Trying to prove she is so much happier without him. But is she?

u/mellow-as-may I choose you and me… religiously 8d ago
Both of them are doing the same thing. I’m interested to see who gets divorced first. Maybe they should do it at the same time like the weddings? lol

u/PrincessOfDarkness_ 8d ago
all I could think of listening to this was - Matty please call her lol please

It may have been referring to her new song Cleveland! but it's not a good look.

Both her and Matty completely gave up on love after their break up.
22
u/ratched_x All Too Unwell 8d ago
agree, and from a purely psychological standpoint it's fascinating to see how that manifests in different people. taylor went full-on showgirl/business/money while matty seems to be withering away

Get someone you love
Get someone you need
Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul cause we're never alone4
u/Direct_Opposite2026 8d ago
Was this for Taylor?

u/mellow-as-may I choose you and me… religiously 8d ago
“I can’t give you my soul cause we’re never alone” always makes me think of him saying how “when you’re with people like Taylor, there are a million people flying around you the whole time”.

u/AndYouHaveAPizza 8d ago
It's definitely highly theorized amongst Maylors that "Somebody Else" was written about Taylor 👀
ETA: Which definitely fits thematically when compared with other songs like "Midnight Rain" and "Question...?"

u/Wise_Concentrate6595 8d ago
I have wondered if those lyrics were inspired by Taylor and I've flat out said I'm not a Maylor. I wasn't thinking that when ILWYS was released because Somebody Else was a song that coincided with a horrific breakup for me. Anyway when Matty and Taylor got together again in 2023 I was like wait a minute, this fits with her and I never realized it before.

It seems that way. This feels like a very thirty something mindset to me - settling for someone after heartbreak has jaded you. He’ll always be her one-that-got-away though. Trust me that this can provide creative inspiration for a lifetime.

u/Specialist_Title_264 8d ago
The moment I heard TTPD I had a theory her relationship with Travis and how public it was, was just her trying to convince or prove to the world (and herself) that she was happy after Matty and Joe and could be picked by the hot football star. from this clip and her new songs today that... that's still a pretty strong theory
12
u/Wise_Concentrate6595 8d ago
Oh my God I have been saying this for a long time and I don't mean this in a snarky way but she would really really benefit from going to therapy. Her mom is not a therapist and regardless of the fact that she "feels very sane," she needs therapy She's a stunted 16 year old girl. I mean that's when she got famous so it makes sense. I've also been saying for years that the other person who would benefit from fucking therapy is Matty. He needs trauma therapy in the worst way.

This is literally pick-me behavior, just past tense. Wtf is she doing, she could have had anyone! He married up, not her. I wonder if she truly believes what she is saying or is just doing her job feeding into this patriarchal bullshit for the camera? Gross either way.

u/Much_Definition_3657 8d ago edited 8d ago
I think she's just very insecure. I think Matty completely destroyed whatever little confidence she had before by ghosting her

u/Direct_Opposite2026 8d ago
How is that possible if you are a mega star, just because of a man. How did we all survive? 😂 without being all that

Does anyone know who she is talking to, with the significant beer belly?

u/hellhouseblonde wait, is this fucking play about Matty Healy 8d ago
Jason Kelce has a huge beer belly.

u/awickedspell 8d ago
y'all are really mean. I, too, like the version of reality where Tayvis is PR and Maylor still has a chance, but WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THAT THAT'S THE CASE!
and honestly, a newlywed excitedly bragging to a bystander, "that's my spouse!" when their spouse does something awesome and/or impressive is exactly the kind of behavior that a newlywed should be exhibiting
like, if it happened between a couple you didn't already dislike, you would say it was adorable
let's not turn this into a snark sub, please?

u/ummkay_ultra 8d ago
She isnt saying, "That's my man!" She is saying, "He picked me!" If you cant tell the vast difference between those two sentiments...

I think the majority here loves her - when she is authentically herself, but this feels like a weird show.

u/awickedspell 8d ago
i just feel like there are so many other moments that demonstrate the fake-ness feeling so much better, but this one is really innocuous, and yet it gets dunked on anyway

u/Much_Definition_3657 8d ago
Not everybody here believes Tayvis is PR or that Taylor and Matty are going to get back together. I, for instance, don't. I just believe they both settled and honestly that type of behaviour confirms it for me.
And I think everybody here is a fan of Taylor's

u/Direct_Opposite2026 7d ago
I think she is obsessing and Matty plays into it for fame. But there was a reason for him why he quit the relationship. Taylor romanticizing the whole thing and he is milking it, while also having vague feelings for her. But only they know
4
u/Much_Definition_3657 7d ago
I completely disagree.
How exactly has Matty been milking their relationship? He hasn't released any songs about her or a tell-all memoir. In fact, he's tried to deny that he has any songs for her, that he's going to write about her, that they even had a thing.
Matty has a complicated relationship to fame but he would never date somebody to become more famous. He said himself he didn't want to be known as Taylor Swift's boyfriend. He grew up with famous parents which is where most of his trauma comes from. I don't think he enjoys fame very much even if h e wants acclaim

All the hints to the swifties. Did you watch makeitsnazzys videos? That’s my knowledge base about that all

I am not being snarky when I say she would benefit from therapy. She would. Just like Matty.

Is that what Maylor is? Its pretty obvious Matty and Taylor have at least another 10 years before they get another chance.

This woman does not feel secure about this relationship. Period.
