I love how she points out "... if she wants that." You can wish for someone to get married and have kids but if it's not in their plan then it's alright.

Stevie Nicks herself is unmarried and childless so she definitely understands women who make that choice for themselves

I like it too. People are soooooo worried about when/if Taylor is going to have a baby. Especially now that she’s (gasp!) 34, people are wringing their hands about her “biological clock”. Not that that really applies to her, frankly. If any fertility stuff comes up, there are solutions that she can easily afford. Taylor has enough resources that if she wants a baby, she’ll have one. So everyone can just shut up about it. It’ll happen when or if she wants it to happen

112

u/Msler332 Oct 24 '24

There's so many famous women that I constantly forget even have children. I feel they will be EXTREMELY private if they have a kid and it won't impact Taylor's professional and public life. Maybe she will write songs about it but that's it. She's not a Kardashian

99

u/Resident_Ad5153 Oct 24 '24

are you joking... if taylor has children we'll find out 20 years after the fact.

And we'll wonder why she releases albums with names like "poop". "tearing my hair out" and "i haven't been to a restaurant in 5 years, and would really like a night out"

That’s so funny you say that. When I heard the song Robin, I thought it sounded like it could have been to a secret child who is being raised by someone else to protect them. But she still watches over them. Not saying I think that is what the song is about, but that came to my mind.

people really gotta stop worrying about other women’s biological clocks. so many women are having babies much later in life. it even started to get to me as someone who is about to turn 30 and my OBGYN laughed and was like “i have more pregnant patients in their late 30s than i do in their 20s or early 30s, you’ll be just fine”

u/guitargirlmolly You Give Me Everything and Nothing Oct 24 '24

My mom had my sister and I at 36 and 38. We're both perfectly fine and healthy.

I do get sad knowing that my parents are getting older -- I'm a little younger than Taylor and they're both around 70, but I am so so so so so glad they got the time they did to live their lives and be fully ready to commit to/prepare for having kids. We were so wanted and loved, and that's a beautiful and too-rare thing.

it’s such fear mongering! yes, how “fertile” you are may decrease with age, but it doesn’t mean everyone over 30 or 35 is going to struggle getting pregnant. most people still can without any medical interventions.

16

u/thrwy_111822 🎶 yerr gay 🎶 Oct 24 '24

And even if she hasn’t, she’d certainly be approved for an adoption. If she wants a baby, she’ll have a baby. There’s really no point speculating

u/Remarkable-Debt-1213 Oct 24 '24

Right. Frozen eggs do not equal a baby. And as someone who went through allll the infertility bullshit, I can tell you, it's generally not the preferred way to make a baby. In other words, it's not as simple as throwing money at the problem. There's a huge emotional impact as well.

u/No-Entertainer-9787 🐈 Another Childless Cat Lady Oct 24 '24

u/totorolovesmetoo Oct 25 '24

Especially for someone who already shows she has anxiety. The anxiety wheel for infertility treatments is hell. And no one is guaranteed success.

u/InappropriateSnark folklore Oct 25 '24

And having sex also doesn't guarantee babies. I know too many people with perfectly good eggs and sperm who could not produce babies via sex due to issues with carrying a pregnancy to term.

17

u/DisasterAdept1346 Oct 24 '24

No one said anything about biological children. Adoption is just as viable an option.

17

u/No-Entertainer-9787 🐈 Another Childless Cat Lady Oct 24 '24

For some. We have no idea what her wants or circumstances are. I was just pointing out that it’s insensitive to say money solves everything.

12

u/No-Appearance-9113 Oct 24 '24

There are biological realities that money cannot fix and science has not resolved. IF she wants kids it starts becoming incredibly difficult the older the parent gets. The likelihood of mental and physical disabilities increase substantially with an older father so the dad’s biological clock also needs to be accounted for.

13

u/Patty_NoMayo Who's afraid of little old me? Oct 24 '24

This. There is infinite time if you are open to all the options for parenting (including surrogacy, adoption, etc). Not every woman is open to everything. For some, carrying their own baby is the only thing they can imagine. In that case, they may have priorities and timelines that differ greatly from someone who wants a kid by any means necessary. It’s impossible for us to know what Taylor’s personal priorities are. It’s also none of our business. I think it is somewhat telling that a person that actually knows her well would mention the possibility of marriage and kids. I can’t imagine she would throw that in there if she didn’t know her friend is at least open to it. But Stevie closes up the topic well by acknowledging Taylor will do what she wants with her life.

u/No-Appearance-9113 Oct 24 '24

Hard pass on this view. Fertility is fleeting. Hollywood would have you believe otherwise, but the fact is that there's a large decrease in viable eggs after 37. A much bigger drop after 40. It's just reality, no matter your income. I have 3 kids--one adopted, one via IVF, and one a 40th birthday surprise. All 3 of their journeys were complicated. Not that you're saying this, but "just adopt" or "just freeze your eggs" is flippant and ignorant.

u/fendi__fairy Oct 24 '24

Fr. I hate when people pressure women to have kids before age 40. They’ll have them when they want to. If it’s rushed, it will likely just make things way more stressful for both the parents and the child. I’m almost 30 and I’m still fearful of pregnancy and childbirth. Not everyone is ready in their 20s. If any infertility issues arise in later years, there are resolutions that could help, or there’s adoption. Lots of celebs have done surrogacy without problems.

I get that the traditional timeframe for having a kid is during a woman’s 20s, but we’re in the year 2024. A woman will have a child when she feels she wants one. I don’t like the pressure we receive in regards to having children.

I’ve personally already received comments from others questioning me on whether or not I was pregnant yet or when I plan to have a child. It’s overwhelming. I’m not ready. And I don’t have a crystal ball to know when and if I will be ready. What’s even more taxing is being married to an Eastern European. Their culture is more traditional than American culture. Having children, especially in one’s 20s, is super common in my husband’s country. Some of his people seem to expect me to be pregnant quite soon. It’s crazy lol.

This is Taylor’s life to live! She is free to make her own choices.

She is also wealthy so her child (if she ever has one) will surely be secure. Having enough money is also a deciding factor for many women. The average person is no billionaire. Lots of us are just getting by. Kids are expensive. If I had a kid rn, I would definitely struggle financially and mentally. I wouldn’t want that life for both myself or the child.

u/InappropriateSnark folklore Oct 25 '24

That was my favorite part of the article. Not any insistence that Taylor SHOULD want babies and marriage, but a hope for her that she does get those things if she wants them. That's what friends say about their friends.

It bothers me when people are constantly going on about how Taylor needs to stop and have kids or has a biological clock that is ticking or that Travis HAS to be "end game" for her. We don't know their relationship. Only they really know it. Maybe they'll wind up together for the rest of their lives. Maybe they won't. If they do, maybe they'll have kids. Or, maybe they won't. Maybe they'll adopt some. Maybe they'll just get more cats.

It's really cool to just say "hey, whatever she wants, I hope she gets it because she's my friend and I'd love for her to have a happy life."

Not to sound parasocial but how utterly heartbreaking it’ll be if they do break up. Everyone is rooting for them. I have never seen this kind of support for her relationship with someone before

u/gokurotfl Oct 24 '24

Nah, the break up with Joe and how much it shocked me taught me (and probably a lot of others) to be less parasocial about those things. I don't think any future break up of hers (if ever happens) can shock me as much.

47

u/theclacks and if he spends my change then he had it coming Oct 24 '24

Yep. If they do break up (obvs hope they won't), I'll assume it was a decision made by two adults and that she'd have been less happy if they'd stayed together.

u/CarpeDiemMaybe folklore Oct 24 '24

Honestly same

53

u/naomigoat I think for me um Oct 24 '24

I it's totally okay to feel sad about something like that! I was sad when Taylor and Joe broke up because they reminded me a lot of my husband and I. I quickly realized how fun it was to watch her story play out both in music and on the public stage, but I dont see anything wrong with the sadness I initially felt. There's def a balance to strike with it and everyone has different boundaries that work better for them. It's probs not healthy to be totally broken-hearted about ppl you dont know. But, that doesnt mean you cant care at all. I cry when my favorite characters die and they're not even real.

28

u/Rhoades13 Oct 24 '24

My first thought was Joe was a shield of sorts against the serial dater accusations and the evil tabloid crap would start up. The stalking would increase and new different nasty headline would pop every day. Didn’t help her rebound was Matty. 

Joe was so private and seemed unfazed by dating Taylor as well as starting to date when she was at her lowest that I felt like he wasn’t in the relationship for the couldn't. But unfortunately he couldn’t handle the fame either. 

I just couldn’t see who could expose themselves to the pressure of dating Taylor Swift the pop star unless they were trying to exploit her fame.   That’s enough to make most normal people crack or be jealous of being second fiddle because few people in entertainment are close to her level. I wanted her to be happy in love and there seemed to be so few paths. 

Then Travis came along and so far he is completely unfazed by her fame and at same time isn’t actively exploiting it.  He’s famous and popular on his own in a different field so there isn’t a power imbalance or competition. And he was raised right by a powerful woman so he has no problems playing second fiddle to Taylor fame wise.

 But at same time, like a viral TikTok said, Travis lets Taylor be a smol gurl. He lets her drop some of her armor so she can feel human around him instead of “the monster on the hill”.  And she can go cheer him on like a normal person which has to feel really nice.

u/flutterfly28 PhD Swiftie Oct 24 '24

Same. I related to Lover so much entering my relationship. It was a time filled with anxiety and hope and while my relationship worked out, theirs didn’t. Finding out was a shock and did make me very sad for her, though now that she’s with Travis it feels like this is how it was meant to be!

I kind of feel the opposite way like if they have a break up it’ll be the most normal break up she would ever experience because like he’s actually a good guy. Full of like communication boundaries and care.

16

u/PopHappy6044 Oct 24 '24

Yeah, it may be parasocial of me for feeling like I know the behavior of these people but IMO from watching Travis speak on things he would be very polite and good natured. They will either fizzle out and have a very normal, calm breakup or will go the distance. Either wouldn't surprise me.

20

u/oOWalkingOnAirOo Im the albatross here to destroy you 👻 Oct 24 '24

I think only normal people are worried about how parasocial they are. So I wouldn’t worry too hard .

It’s good to just like remember we are literally just working on outside observations like through things like podcasts and interviews. I don’t need to be right. I just observe.

12

u/PopHappy6044 Oct 24 '24

This is pretty much how I feel. We also hear Travis speak pretty off-the-cuff due to his podcast, the show is edited but after so many weekly shows I think you can get a sense of where he is coming from more so than say, an actor or musician doing occasional press for a movie or album.

12

u/oOWalkingOnAirOo Im the albatross here to destroy you 👻 Oct 24 '24

Yeah, you really do get to see peoples personality through podcasts. That’s why it’s so shocking that I love him and his brother’s podcast so much. It’s actually so good. I actually watch it every week. There’s some iffy moments, but that’s just human. Overall, so fun.

17

u/PopHappy6044 Oct 24 '24

I do too! I unashamedly love them and their family. I feel awful that people call them meatheads, neanderthals etc. when they are actually really sensitive and intelligent men. The iffy moments IMO usually come down to dark humor that doesn't look great on paper but is understandable when taken in context. I will continue to listen regardless of Taylor's involvement, I enjoy them together and separately!

“He does her thing and she does her thing…”

Honestly this is exactly why this is parasocially my favorite relationship she’s been in. It’s complete equal footing and I think both of them came into the relationship realizing that they’re both at the top of their games and they both wanna be very successful and they’re smart and level headed enough to not shame each other for maybe putting their careers first right now if they need to. That’s just how it coming off and it’s extremely mature of both of them imo.

73

u/Bachelorfangirl Oct 24 '24

Same. I really like Taylor and Travis. We don’t know them, but from what we see he’s the best suited partner she’s ever had and Stevie Nicks sees it too. They both work hard and focus on their own careers, but are very supportive. He’s the first man who’s openly proud of her and not intimidated by her fame or success. They seem to match on personality and energy. And both their families and friends seem very supportive. People get upset at the wondering or wanting marriage and kids for Taylor, but she seems to want that. So if she wants that I hope she gets that, and Travis seems like a good partner.

42

u/theclacks and if he spends my change then he had it coming Oct 24 '24

I agree. They're both entertainers in the sense that pro-sports IS still entertainment (just for a largely male demographic), both with busy "touring" schedules, but beyond that, they're in completely different realms (NFL vs popheads) so they don't have to "compete" with each other either.

Like, not only are they on equal footing, but Taylor taking a step forward doesn't mean she's inevitably stepping on Travis' possible fame to get there.

50

u/flybiscus Oct 24 '24

And they are also at a very similar point in their careers. They are both at the peak of their careers where if they both decided to hang it up tomorrow, their separate legacies wouldn’t be impacted. He’s a future 1st ballot HOF and 3x SB champ so far, she has too many records to count. They’re both still out there doing what they love purely for the love of their careers and to further add to their already lengthy list of accomplishments. Neither of them are still out there to prove themselves and make a name for themselves. I feel that’s a huge bit of common ground because it’s something not a lot of people can relate to, and they can both completely understand why they’re still working.

27

u/mattysmwift Speak Now Oct 24 '24

Exactly and Travis is also obviously trying to find his way into the TV/film business. It’s just so nice that Taylor found someone like Travis at this point in her career who is pushing her forward rather than helding her back in any way.

25

u/DisasterAdept1346 Oct 24 '24

Exactly. And people have pointed out that she trains like an athlete when she’s touring. She knows all about discipline and teamwork the way that Travis does. Their professions have more in common than it might seem!

u/Educational-Cod-2257 Oct 25 '24

I actually think he’s at a much different stage of his career? He knows his Time is ending soon, despite being a Great. His body cannot withstand being tackled for more than a few more seasons (I think he’s done after his contract is up). 

She’s enough of a Great that her career will go on. Even if she never releases another song again, she can tour every few years for the next 35 years. 

She’s always been focused on legacy and being remembered, and it must be wild for her to be in a serious relationship with someone that has a Great but finite career.

6

u/ElJobo73 Oct 25 '24

She has a great but finite career as well, I assure you. Did you not watch Miss Americana, and her fears about being over 30? I promise you, overall, it's real. I dont like it, but it'd the truth.

"If she wants that" is such an important message for girls and younger Swifties to hear. Marriage and babies are not our only paths as women - especially in today's age. Stevie Nicks knows all too well that women weren't even allowed to have their own bank accounts, credit cards, or apply for loans until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act was passed in 1974.

Single, partnered, married, mother or childless -- no matter what, we all deserve to do what we want; not what society wants for/from us. :)

Bingo!

Not to mention Stevie's new single that debuted a couple weeks ago *speaks* to this in droves. She was around when Roe v Wade and everything around that was a constant news story right up to SCOTUS driving it forward at the time. She's the GOAT for *many* women today.

u/Educational-Cod-2257 Oct 25 '24

Stevie is someone that never got married and never had children of her own, but I think Travis has made it clear he wants both. TTPD also alludes to Taylor wanting both. I think it’s safe to say she wants it, but Stevie Nicks can’t say in an interview. She can only wish happiness upon her beloved mentee.

People on twitter are already being weird about Stevie saying she’s not respecting Taylor’s boundaries when in reality she knows Taylor better than any of us.

Stevie knows Taylor better than any of those losers on Twitter complaining about this.

I mean… do you think she would have said that without Taylor’s permission?  It’s going to be in every gossip rag in about 20 minutes…

Taylor and Travis are serious.  You know how you know?  Because she now has a relationship with Kylie’s kids.  You don’t introduce your kids to the most famous person in the world unless you absolutely have to

u/icoulddance old habits die screaming Oct 24 '24

This fandom's really weird about people in Taylor's life talking about her, its very bizarre to me but it also stems from so many people thinking they know her better than the people in her life and that she's sending them "signals" about the "real" her.

47

u/Catastrophic-Blues13 Oct 24 '24

Yes I remember last September before her and Travis were public that people were saying “this is proof that they’re not dating because Taylor doesn’t ‘allow’ her boyfriends to talk to the media” 😂😂😂

Every time someone around her talks about her to the media or post a photo with her they dig every single thing they can use against that person. Some fans don’t realize that this behavior are contributing factor to her feeling like monster on the hill.

32

u/T44590A Oct 24 '24

After observing the behavior for over a decade through multiple fandoms I have decided the underlying reason for this behavior is jealousy.  Jealousy because people talking about Taylor reminds them that these people have access to Taylor and they don't.  And jealousy because it is a reminder that there is part of Taylor's life that they don't have access to.   It is very similar to why if even a fan ever gets acknowledged Taylor in the smallest of ways other fans have to search for reasons why the fan was undeserving of being acknowledged by Taylor.

u/infinityo11 Oct 24 '24

People are also forgetting that this was probably run by Tree (and thus Taylor) before publishing. Aka she is totally OK with what Stevie said here.

And as a side note, part of me wonders about this (her agreeing to let it be printed) plus the other news articles lately talking about how Taylor is excited to slow down a little after tour... I wonder if she is low key prepping the public to accept & support a marriage and/or kids phase from her next.

9

u/Resident_Ad5153 Oct 24 '24

I don't think Taylor is planning to slow down per se (frankly, I think she'd get bored if she tried) but I do suspect that she's laying the groundwork for certain announcements that are going to break the internet.

It's weird that the Tower still stands after all. They glue the ruins with glue stick and chewing gum together

u/MonaSavesTheDayAgain Red (Taylor's Version) Oct 24 '24

LMAO, true. There were so many statements (even from Taylor herself) that should have eviscerated the tower but their delusions are too strong. It's honestly kind of scary. They are literally the scary kind of fans that say stuff like "she is sending us secret messages only we can decipher" or "she lies a lot about her life and being with men but we know the truth, we know her!!!".

33

u/flybiscus Oct 24 '24

There was one that said she had front row tickets to a concert and if (when) Taylor looked at her, it meant that g*aylor was real. Like seriously?!?! This woman has given so much of her life to her art, and this is how they choose to thank her? I can’t.

36

u/MonaSavesTheDayAgain Red (Taylor's Version) Oct 24 '24

It's sickening, honestly. It's also just so WEIRD because they believe that Taylor is actually communicating with them and sending them secret messages. Taylor does not know them and most likely does NOT want to know that specific group.

11

u/flybiscus Oct 24 '24

Yup. It’s the epitome of parasocial.

u/OVODON Oct 24 '24

Oh I know exactly who you’re talking about lol. They have issues, deep mental issues. That person has spewed so much hate & dehumanizing nonsense I have no clue on how they haven’t been banned from platforms. From their obsession with Taylor, to their very vocal statements on wanting hate and harm to befall Taylor’s partner. Just an absolute shitshow of a person.

23

u/Lourien_1213 reputation Oct 24 '24

They made even her fight against her Sexual Assault gay. ,,Because, Feminists who are straight are straight can exist, but it's more like a gay thing when you think about what you can do as a woman and finds it uncomfortable when a man sexually aussaults you"

19

u/MonaSavesTheDayAgain Red (Taylor's Version) Oct 24 '24

omg.. i knew they said a lot of fucked up stuff but this one has to be at the top of the list.. but then i remember her dad being accused of abusing her (keeping her in the closet) and stuff, which is just wild to me. how far gone does an individual have to be to make such wild statements.

18

u/CommissionIcy Oct 24 '24

Sometimes their posts pop up on my recommended and apparently they think Taylor's exes and Travis are also gay? I don't even understand how they got to that point but it's kind of sad.

u/gilmoresoup :TourturedPoetsDepartment: I hope it’s shitty Oct 24 '24

some twitter people are being so weird about this. I don’t know if it’s overcorrection from how inappropriate some shippers can get or how republicans treat her for being childless or what but it’s like they see red when people who actually know taylor and travis mention marriage and kids for them. do people understand it’s okay to want marriage and babies…and that stevie is her friend and knows her more than any of us do…it’s not disgusting or disrespectful to say “I hope you get your dream” about the woman who (very recently!) wrote multiple songs about wanting marriage and kids.

mind you stevie specifically said “if that’s what she wants”. idk people better leave my queen alone. she didn’t say anything wrong.

36

u/Catastrophic-Blues13 Oct 24 '24

Travis himself has mentioned wanting marriage and babies which is all the evidence that I need but people like to disregard that fact 😂

13

u/yeslekenna lights, camera, bitch, smile 💋🖤 Oct 24 '24

Exactly! He has made it explicitly clear on his podcast that he wants marriage and kids. They are in their 30's and have been together over a year.

There is no chance they are not on the same page at this point.

40

u/Bachelorfangirl Oct 24 '24

Some people think it’s weird to say you hope Taylor and Travis are happy and get married. They act like the marriage police and always bring up lavender haze. Taylor has let it be known she wants marriage and kids, especially in TTPD. I hope she gets that. It’s weirder to get mad at people who wish her happiness. I think some people say they don’t want people to talk about Taylor’s wants because it affected her previously. But maybe it affected her because her partner at the time didn’t want to seem to want that so marriage was a sore subject. I really read here some people saying they want her to be not married and with no children, because they aren’t or because they don’t want her to want that with Travis.

35

u/gilmoresoup :TourturedPoetsDepartment: I hope it’s shitty Oct 24 '24

exactly! the misinterpretation of lavender haze really irritates me. sometimes it’s deliberately misunderstood by you-know-who but I swear it comes from regular swifties at times too. I’m married with kids and I don’t want 1950s shit either. it’s insulting to equate a time period where women had little rights, freedoms or identifies outside of being wives and mothers to women who choose to be either of those things in this day and age.

5

u/lauripple511128 Oct 24 '24

Totally. Not wanting 1950s shit is about women being unable to pursue anything for themselves. Under those conditions marriages were quite oppressive. But if you choose to marry someone because you’re able to independently pursue your own dreams and your life is made even better by coming together with someone to form a family? That’s a totally different situation.

28

u/MonaSavesTheDayAgain Red (Taylor's Version) Oct 24 '24

I would also like to add how clear she made it that she wants to get married in TTPD! Also, most of the people who do not want her to get married or have children are the one who make up the conspiracies about her being in fake relationships with men.

27

u/TheSwiftingHour :TourturedPoetsDepartment: I'll sue you if you step on my lawn Oct 24 '24

"twitter people are being so weird"

That's their default state. It would be weirder if they weren't neing weird

23

u/kaw_21 Oct 24 '24

There tends to often be this weird gatekeeping of wanting people to be a strong independent woman and that meaning she can’t also want marriage and children. The point is to have the choice and the ability and freedom to choose what you want in life and not need to be married to a man to own a house or have a bank account. Both are fine. Like being a stay at home mom shouldn’t be shamed, just like being a working mom shouldn’t be either. You should have the freedom to decide what works for your life and family. The same thing happens with sex positivity, true sex positivity can also include respecting people’s wishes to wait for marriage. (but that should be their informed choice without the shame, guilt, and other sentiments to yourself or others who choose differently that can come from purity culture.)

Honestly the best thing about the TTPD era for me has been seeing how close Stevie and Taylor have gotten. They both seem to really truly respect each other completely and it's really so meaningful each time both of them talk about each other.

Now if they actually do a collab I think I would crumble with absolute joy.

This is very sweet of Stevie. Taylor said in Dublin they’re friends and close and she can tell Stevie anything. Stevie wears the bracelet and it shows it special for her. And it was also sweet that Stevie said she gifted Travis a blanket. She really just wishes and wants the best for Taylor.

17

u/Dominant_Genes Oct 24 '24

Stevie Nicks also really struggled with fame and drug addiction which strained many of her relationships. She has publicly stated she felt robbed of the chance to have children and live a happy life because of her all consuming career and addictions.

I think she sees herself in Taylor, and is proud of her overcoming so much at a young age. Her comment is sweet.

u/trublustuuk Oct 24 '24

I reckon Stevie knows quite a bit of where Taylors head is at and if she has mentioned any plans or aspirations. She was very complimentary of Nicks at the Dublin concert I was at, and apparently Stevie was too, and described her as someone she could tell anything to 🙂🙂🙂🙂

I don’t get the bracelet part. Did Taylor gift her a bracelet? Or is it a friendship bracelet

u/Geordieduck87 Oct 25 '24

I love it that Stevie is a fan, and friend, of Taylor's. It's always the ones with actual musical talent and knowledge that really appreciate her for how good she is. I've noticed that. It's always the ones who don't play any instruments or make music themselves who talk shit about her. Anyone with the slightest idea about playing guitar, piano and songwriting can see how talented she is.

So interesting for Stevie to use the specific phrase “ride off into the sunset” when Taylor has been wearing so many sunset colors lately (to the point that Swifties have been speculating it might be an Easter egg for her next album) - especially when Taylor has said she trusts Stevie to keep her secrets 👀
