Is Taylor Swift in her 'trad wife' era? TEU party appearance with Travis Kelce reignites internet debate — Swifties hit back
Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at Travis Kelce's Tight End University (TEU) after-party in Nashville on June 23, and like clockwork, the internet had thoughts. What should've been a low-key night of post-camp fun quickly turned into a trending topic when a viral tweet labelled the pop star 'trad wife Taylor', sparking debate across social media, and of course Swifties came out in her defence. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend TEU event in style The pair showed up looking like the chillest couple at the party. Taylor wore a soft green two-piece set, including a cropped tank and matching skirt, that gave off easy summer energy without trying too hard. Her hair was worn down in loose waves, and she kept her glam minimal, letting the outfit (and the moment) do the talking. Travis, for his part, kept things casual in a crisp white polo and shorts, giving full 'off-duty athlete' vibes. The coordinating colour palette didn't go unnoticed by fans, who quickly pointed out the subtle matchy-matchy moment as yet another sign that the couple is deep in their groove. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at TEU DJ reveals Swift was the life of the party DJ Mike Fresh, who helmed the music at the post-TEU celebration, later confirmed what fans were already whispering online: Taylor was in the building. 'There are Monday fun days, and then there are Monday fun days when Taylor Swift is in the building partying to your set,' he wrote on Instagram. He added that some attendees were so overwhelmed by her presence they cried. 📷 | Taylor and Travis at the afterparty last night 🎉 Trad wife talk takes over the internet Despite the party vibes, Swift's appearance somehow stirred up a wave of online criticism. One viral tweet read, 'Love Taylor, but the indie alternative pretentious Taylor was so much better and fun than this trad wife Taylor,' and just like that, the discourse was back. Suddenly, the woman who gave us The Archer and The Man was being reduced to 'just the supportive girlfriend' all because she'd been showing up to game days and rocking coordinated outfits with her NFL star boyfriend. The internet decided to box her into a narrative she never signed up for, and, unsurprisingly, that didn't sit well with Swifties. Love Taylor but the indie alternative pretencious Taylor was so much better and fun than this trad wife Taylor Swifties come out in Taylor's defence Swifties weren't having any of it, as one fan shut the conversation down with, 'I'm sorry, this is an absurd statement. She's not a character in a movie or some make-your-own-adventure game for people to play. If you're truly a fan, then her being happy and healthy should be enough.' Another echoed that sentiment, writing, 'Love Taylor, but seriously — stop acting like she's a fictional character in your favourite TV show. This is her real life, not your personal entertainment.' Others got straight to the point, calling out the judgement for what it is. 'She's the same person she's always been. You're just projecting your own stereotypes. You seem young — there's time to grow. Good luck.' 'What exactly about Taylor Swift's current life makes her a 'trad wife'? She's 35, unmarried, childless, and one of the most successful, self-made women on the planet," one fan reasoned. How did 'trad wife' talks even begin? The debate has been floating around the internet for a while now, especially since Taylor took a break from music after wrapping up her Eras Tour last December. Since then, most of her public sightings have been with Kelce, particularly after her Grammys snub earlier this year, which only added more fuel to the 'trad wife' narrative. But despite all the noise, Swift seems to be doing just fine. She just reclaimed her masters; her relationship with Kelce is going strong, and who's to say she isn't quietly working on new music? Even if she's not, she's earned every second of this break. She delivered a massive, record-shattering tour and dropped her most emotionally raw album, The Tortured Poets Department, right in the middle of it all. Let her breathe.

Selena Gomez's sister loves 'auntie' Taylor Swift
Selena Gomez has joked her sister loves her "auntie" Taylor Swift more than her. The Only Murders in the Building star's younger sibling, Gracie Teefey, turned 12 on Thursday (12.06.25) and though the 32-year-old star loves spending time with the youngster, Selena admitted the tween is far more interested in her good friend. Selena shared a video on her Instagram Story, in which she sat on a bed while Gracie was by a TV, and when the youngster hit the remote, Taylor's video for The Man began to play. Gracie told her sister: 'There, now we can watch the video too." Selena captioned the clip: 'When she loves auntie Taylor more than me.' The Lose You To Love Me singer also shared a carousel of photos of herself and Gracie over the years and she couldn't help but shed a tear over their bond. She wrote: 'Happy birthday to my baby sissy. As I cry writing this, my heart melts because I know you know I'm always on your side. No matter what. I love you baby girl [heart emojis] (sic)" Selena and Taylor, 35, first met in 2008 when dating Nick and Joe Honas respectively, and they very quickly became friends. Taylor previously told The Wall Street Journal in 2020: 'I knew from when I met [Selena] I would always have her back. 'In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.' And Selena, 32, told how they "clicked instantly" She said: 'That was my girl. We both went through s*** at the same time. She taught me a lot about how I should be treated at a young age.' Selena previously praised Taylor as "one of the greatest songwriters" when she ran through some of the songs on her 'At Home with Selena Gomez' playlist, which included her friend's hit track Lover. Of the song, she said: "There's nothing really to say other than this is another song that shows her ability to take it back to the old, to also combine it with her challenging to do new things with her music. I think that's as pure as that - I'll always, not even biased, just think she is one of the greatest songwriters."
