'12
Much has been made of Taylor Swift’s game (or lack thereof), but I have to admit something: I’m consistently impressed and amused by her ability to get her new boyfriends to pose for candid photo ops. She got Jake Gyllenhaal to pose with her a few weeks into the beginning of their relationship, I think Swifty posed with Cory Monteith on, like, their first date, and her relationship with Conor Kennedy was FULL of early photo-ops in Hyannis Port. Now here she is with Harry Styles, only a few weeks into a new relationship and already they’re posing together in Central Park. This photo-op feels kind of Gylenhaal-esque. But she’s added a new twist! A BABY!! According to Pacific Coast News, the baby (a girl named Lux) belongs to Harry’s stylist and friend Lou Teasdale. It was nice of Lou to lend Lux to Swifty for a happy couple photo op.
Less than 24 hours after Taylor Swift performed during KIIS-FM’s Jingle Ball at the Nokia Theatre in L.A, the country music superstar flew to New York City to spend time with One Direction’s Harry Styles.
After flirting on the X Factor set in mid-November, the musicians have been hoping to spend more time together — and they finally got their chance Dec. 2. Joined by a few pals, Swift, 22, and Styles, 18, were all smiles while visiting the Central Park Zoo.
Shortly after they were spotted in the Big Apple, fans began sharing pictures of the two stars on Twitter. “Just saw Taylor Swift,” one wrote. “Holy crap!”
Swift split with high school senior Conor Kennedy, 18, in October. “She doesn’t want to be single,” a source recently told Us Weekly.
Styles — who named Swift as his celebrity crush in the November issue of Seventeen! — isn’t the only One Direction member who’s off the market: Louis Tomlinson, 20, is romancing college student Eleanor Calder, 20, while Zayn Malik, 19, is seeing Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, 19.
How long are we giving this relationship? Am I the only one holding out hope that Swifty and Conor reunite briefly over Christmas when he’s on holiday from his prep school? Which means… this could end up a love triangle between Swifty, an English boy and a Kennedy boy. I hope they make it a drinking contest for her heart.
I’m also including a couple of photos of Swifty at the KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball in LA over the weekend – she wore the striped dress on the red carpet & the shorts when she performed. Those shorts are not cute.

Could it be that our Miss Taylor is in the closet herself? Otherwise, why would she beard for so many gay celebrities?
She has plenty of money, so what other possible motive could she have to pose in a series of ragingly heterosexual couplings?

I was about to post the same thing (closet part). Shes more famous then any of the guys she dates, so why is she going from guy to guy? Or maybe she is running out of material for songs?

I hadn’t thought of that because I don’t get that vibe from her, but it would explain her string of non-threatening little boys, and make the whole thing less gross if it’s all an act.

No idea of she’s gay but regardless there’s plenty in it for her. It’s for material. The songs on RED about Jakey G are chock full of fine details we know about because of their photo ops and story leaks. When Taylor’s song about Harry comes out, it will have the ducks in Central Park and sharing a bag of roasted peanuts. MARK MY WORDS. This girl is craft.

Seriously? It definitely seems like a lot of her relationships are for publicity, but she does not give off that vibe at ALL. If she were anything but 100% vanilla princess straight, it would at least make her the slightest bit more interesting… yawn. (Not trying to trivialize or fetishize anyone’s sexuality here, just my opinion!)
slightly unrelated, which of her relationships do you think were actually REAL? I think John Mayer and the Conor Kennedy. And I bet she’s still with/planning to get back together with Conor.

What, what, what does a 22 year old woman want with an 18 year old kid? Looking at them together is just weird. I think that regardless of gender, the maturity gap between 22 and 18 is just too wide. She needs to date someone her own age!
Report this comment as spam or abuse
So presumably you also had a huge problem with the age difference when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart got together? And think Liam Hemsworth should dump Miley for somebody exactly his own age? Or are only guys allowed to date younger girls? I notice you call him ‘a kid’ and Taylor ‘a woman’ – there’s four years between them; where do you draw that arbitrary line in the sand where someone becomes a woman or a man? They’re both adults.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I also think it has something to do with stage of life. Two working adults (18 & 22) have more in common than a working adult and a high school student. Now, this boy band kid here IS a working adult, so maybe this is an equal relationship, but the fact that he looks like such a clueless little boy makes it hard to stomach.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
@bettyrose – ‘A clueless little boy’? You are aware that Harry’s previous relationship was with a woman in her thirties, right? He also had an affair with another thirtysomething and broke up her marriage. His rumored gay lover is 28. If those much older than Taylor find him attractive, why shouldn’t she?

Tammy, if that’s true, you raise a whole different issue about him.
And, I might add, you’re sounding like a lady who doth protest too much. I’m gonna guess you’re dating someone younger and taking the Swifty criticism a little too personally.

In fact yes, I think that the maturity gap in both of those relationships has been pretty evident. You brought up two perfect examples of why an adult shouldn’t date a teenager. Thank you.

@Anonny – Why are you making a personal attack? You’ve made quite a few comments on this matter, too – am I to conclude that you’re bitter because your boyfriend left you for an older woman?
I’m not dating anybody younger, but even if I were, you wouldn’t have the right to try and make my opinion less valid. What I am is someone who’s pissed off about gender double standards. It shouldn’t make a difference if the male or the female is younger – don’t tell me you believe that bullshit about girls maturing earlier than boys? Physically yes, but the speed of intellectual and emotional maturity completely depends on the individual. Look it up.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I agree. Four years is a lot at that age, especially when the male is the younger half, because then the difference is developmentally more like 6 or 7 years. Or should be…I suspect Taylor’s not exactly meeting the maturity benchmarks herself.

ITA.. Big difference between 18 and 22 and 40 and 44. As you get older the difference between the amout of years is maturity. No big difference between a 51 year old and a 55 year old. Huge huge difference between a 12 year old and a 16 year old.
I don’t get what those older girlfriends saw in him either. There is just so much they have in common between a thirtysomething and a boyfriend 10 years younger.

looking at taylor swift’s jeans, i’m glad to say i finally found proof to dispel my friends’ adamant pronouncement that i’m the only person in the world who sharp creases the front of my jeans.
i don’t know why, but i don’t feel “complete” without it. i did abandon the sharp crease for a total of three weeks in college due to heckling. then i had a nervous breakdown and continued creasing despite it all. i guess, personal neurosis trumps peer pressure any time, even though it made my upper right arm more musclier than my left arm.
nowadays, i balance the muscles by carrying my groceries and other stuff with my left arm.

My eyebrows would still be raised if the gender situation were reversed. There’s (theoretically) a lot of growing up that happens between 18 and 22.

@megs283 – So I should assume you’re equally bothered by Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus dating? Your eyebrows must be going up all the time, because many, many twentysomething guys date girls 2-5 years younger than them. I recommend you stay off college campuses, because the number of seniors hooking up with underclassmen would obviously blow your mind.

I am putting Swifty in the same camp as George Clooney and Sean Penn — she won’t date people who are age-appropriate because they offer too much of a challenge. In her case, I think after Gyllenhaal and Mayer, she doesn’t want guys who are wise to her stalker-clinger games.

I think she is just dying to find true love. I remember being like that. My parents started dating at 14 and 17. At 23 I felt like time was running out. Crazy I know, but I was always looking and hoping for Mr. Right. I dated lots of guys and had two good long term relationships before my husband. I don’t think she’s necessarily sleeping with all these guys I think she looking for true love. She needs it to feel complete. Maybe her parents fell in love at a young age and the need has become a personality flaw. I really like her but think she is really needy when it comes to relationships and can be cruel with her songs when they’re over.

Its so good to know that Im not the only one that is desperate to find true love. I get so upset when people refer to her as an easy girl. Im 23 my parents got married at 20 by my age they already had me. So I feel the pressure to find a soul mate. I go on dates at least once a week with friends that people refer to them as boyfriends its so irritating. There is nothing wrong with looking for true love.
