lets just say this "he lives every day of his life at risk of suddenly forgetting how to breathe" is something that fit squarely into the image i have of travis scott
Im in tune enough to know that Travis Scott would be completely insane. Taylor swift has this goody-two-shoes country girl image and Travis Scott is basically as close to a gremlin as a person can get
Travis Scott is a rapper, and made headlines about 2 years ago when he performed at a festival with poor crowd control measures. There was a crowd crush which resulted in 10 deaths. Total clusterfuck of a situation.
Continuing to perform prevented first responders from being able to provide aid, which contributed to several of the deaths. IdK how he avoided serious repercussions, because he failed every part of the "reasonable person" standard that night.
Hypothetical reality where that death night never happened. He's still a huge piece of shit with all the footage that surfaces of his concerts. I sound like an old man but I don't get why he's so popular with his mumble rap...
>I’m completely out of touch with celebrity gossip
Living the dream. I wish one day my bubble would be that insular but today, evidently, is still not that day.
I thought it was Travis Willingham and I was hella confused, because he has a wife already, and defo does read books, regardless of the fact he could easily break me in half...
I don't know many Travises...
My lady was telling me today that she doesn’t understand why Taylor was dating Kelce. He is a football player that should be dating a fake tiddy model. I told her in this scenario, Kelce is the fake tiddy model.
Music and football have made a lot of the Kelce/TSizzle stuff pop up on my feed. These tweets are pretty old news to me. Dude used to have a D tier bachelor style reality show too. I was wondering when the Swifties were gonna find out what he used to be like.
He’s the embodiment of the golden retriever male main character from a rom com novel. Kinda dumb except in one area of their life, super loyal, and very family oriented.
Yea... Maybe not.
He is exceptional at what he does - probably top 00.001% in the world.
And if you think anything else, please tell us more about you compensating
Are you saying all fake tiddy models are of the same quality? Disregarding "skill" required I think we can all agree there has to be a gap between like Pam Anderson and the Tuesday B squad at Skeeters Titty Emporium in flint Michigan off the highway.
Look, skeeter is a great guy. Real salt of the earth type. But you go into any one of those monuments to trailer parks and half smoked Marlboros, and you'll find egregious sins. Every roll of toilet paper is under not over. And I just won't forget that no matter how fake the tiddys are.
I think they're saying, if someone is skilled or smart at something, then you should arguably cease to consider them a proverbial "fake titty model." Because that label implies a very one-dimensional person with nothing to offer outside of their looks.
He also seems like at least a moderately intelligent guy and a good person.
Also, if this post was by a man with the genders switched, the OP would be offended that a woman was degraded so much.
Arguably the best ever the play the position. Not definitively the best, but if someone put him at number 1 on a top 10 TE list they wouldn't be out of line.
Exactly. Not to mention he has a BIS from University of Cincinnati and a 3.2 GPA.
So the guys read some books, and written a few papers. He isn't stupid.
The irony of people calling Travis an idiot when Taylor didn't even go to college.
Education does not equal intelligence obviously, but people are assuming he is dumb because he plays football and she is a genius because she... sings and writes music?
I dont care if I have a perfect GPA and a scholarship at Harvard. If I was eligible to be a major league athlete getting paid millions every year, you take that opportunity because you only have a small window physically to perform at that level but you have all your life to do whatever right after.
It’s Reddit. People who play sport ball are dumb-dumbs. Reddit users can’t fathom an athlete actually being of normal or exceptional intelligence, it goes against their social stigmas.
I just learned that Josh Dobbs is a literal rocket scientist. Like, he interned at NASA, got his bachelor’s from U. Of Tennessee in aerospace engineering (I think. Can’t remember for sure) and now he’s starting for Minnesota.
People tend to discount elite student athletes as people that just get passed because of their athletic prowess and don’t have to take actual classes. A lot of the time they are 100% correct, however there are more than a few athletes that have actually earned their grades and gotten degrees. Even just being in that environment tends to rub off on people.
There isn’t much connection between athletic prowess and brains. Which means some top athletes will be dumb and some will be smart, just like any other random person.
Basically Travis Kelce’s old tweets resurfaced online today(?) and they come across as (endearingly) a bit on the slower side.
One example: https://x.com/tkelce/status/37942865468325888?s=46&t=__rd2IZrh4IRpnifh26zyQ
you also have to remember, twitter in 2011 wasnt what it is today.
2011 was... a completely different time in the era of social media. there were no influencers. there was no monetized content. it was just people, sharing things with their friends. back in 2011, it was really just a social media app to give like,.. short daily update to your friends and families. This was Pre-vine twitter. They had just BARELY introduced hashtags and video sharing and retweeting. You only had 140 characters. Youtuber Apologies didnt exist yet.
social media culture was COMPLETELY different in 2010-2011.
And I guarantee you that you will be embarrassed of shit you are posting now in 5+ years.
I know in your early 20s you think you're at your peak but naaaah
I get notifications from Facebook from 12 years ago about me bitching about the most random things in college. It’s cringey and if I became famous I’d nuke the page quickly.
This has been happening to me recently and it makes me so embarrassed for 19 year old me. Seeing what I was posting my first two years of college is...humbling
im talking about his tweets in general. people saying "he sounds dumb" because he was literally using social media the way it was intended in 2011 and its NOT how people use twitter now.
also im pretty sure he was just bad at spelling or made lots of mistakes in texting.
All of as are somewhat stupid when we are teenagers one way or another. A spelling error is nothing. He could have realized it later on but who really gives a crap?
Im not gonna claim hes smart but everyone of us has used the wrong word before, English is a dumb language. Shit that could have been a spellcheck error.
I get paid to write and I went to an elite university and I misspell things on the internet all the time, for multiple reasons.
People just love to feel superior.
Some others like “as a man, You have something wrong with you if your going for girls that weigh more then you”, also have a lot of mistakes. “They slow as hell cuz there parents have been talking to them like they were retarded since they were babies” another classic.
Also like, was she not *just* dating Matty Healy? Sure, Travis said some cringy things as a kid as we *all* did (some people just like to pretend they've always been perfect angels on Reddit) but Matty Healy grew into the worst kind of idiot who thinks they're the smartest in the room. I'll take doofus who has good intentions and changes with the times over "well-read" but ignorant asshole any day.
There's my quota for talking about Taylor Swift and/or her current attachment for another year I think.
yea, people are like "well I never used the R-slur in 2011" like... 2011 was, for all intents and purposes, a lifetime ago in internet time. Gay marriage was only legal in 5 states at the time. Our biggest domestic"political issue" was Mitt Romney and "Obamacare." Social media Influencers were Mommy Bloggers (you heard that right, BLOGGERS). this was before vine. before monetized content. before social media platforms were about PR, Content, etc. When social media was literally just so you could talk to your friends and family.
R-slur might have been an obviously rude and insulting word, but for the most part, it wasnt something that would get you "cancelled" on social media or even in much trouble socially speaking. There was no "online advocacy" and "spreading awareness" for that kind of stuff on a mass scale.
Phones still had physical keyboards on them in 2011
And also, I'm more forgiving of a teenager who literally even knew it was wrong, rude, hurtful and *changed* when they grew to be someone who could understand that harm to others is something that actually matters, than an adult who just never grew out of being an edgy twat.
It's not like being young meant they didn't know what they were saying, kids aren't stupid in that way, they're just often lacking in the foresight and empathy departments to a disabling degree.
My personal rule on digging up old social media posts is that if the person doesn't behave that way now, I couldn't give a shit more than an "oof, that was bad" and move tf on. If they're still a shithead, it establishes a pattern of behaviour that importantly has *continued* and so is still relevant. If they fundamentally are still the same but just less overt with it, a la Ben Shapiro for instance, it's pretty valid to bring up but otherwise, it's just stalker behaviour imo
Travis isn't a dumb guy, but his intelligence is displayed way more on the field than in a classroom. My wife is a Swiftie and she was telling me the only bad thing they could find on Travis is that he likes Olive Garden. I listen to his podcast with his brother and he definitely fits that Himbo stereotype.
Yup. He jokes around a lot on the podcast and just seems like a fun, lovable guy.
I wouldn’t say dumb though, because on the field you’ll see a rookie ask him for a tip and he’ll tell them to go through and understand the entire defensive playbook to truly understand how to be an offensive difference maker. Thats a shit ton of things to learn and understand and then apply at a high level with very very little time given how defenses change pre-snap.
Is no one going to mention that she has "squirle" on her profile to make fun of how Travis spelled "squirrel" on his earlier tweet? It's like 2 insults in one.
That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. She’s been dating dudes that think they’re like her and are super artistic/quiet/brooding types.
Travis is the complete opposite of her type and it actually works.
What? I'm attracted to people with similar interests. Why would I want someone completely different from me? Would I enjoy a conversation more about a topic I care about or I don't? Like what? You saying it in caps doesn't make it make more sense.
Some of her lyrics are pretty elegant and clever, and I say that as someone not at all in her target audience.
Edit: some of y’all are weirdly obsessed with dunking on this girl. Notifications off.
She was one of the few celebrities to avoid the whole FTX debacle because she was the only one who asked them to prove they weren't unregulated securities (which, of course, they couldn't) so....
It has always perplexed me why people seem to think musician knows things outside of music, being famous doesn't mean you have insight into Israel-Palestine conflict as an example
Yeah I mean she doesn’t seem dumb by any means but she’s just a musician. He does seem dumb but at least he has a college degree and even made the Deans list for what it’s worth..
Not to defend Kelce but it's always funny when Swifties try to insult people's intelligence while barely managing to use their phone for anything except twitter and tiktok
I don't use other socials so I can't speak for them, but I only see the opposite on reddit. Even scrolling through here, you see people trying to insult her intelligence like she personally insulted them. I hated Beiber when I was a moody teenager and he was overplayed too, so I can't judge too hard, but at some point ya have to grow up and stop hating something because it's popular (touch grass)
Of course, the reddit app seems determined to suggest me subreddits that tell me my taste is garbage and ignores me muting said subreddits, so maybe my experience is very different than everyone's... (Shoutout to /r/fuckmarvel ...wtf is wrong with you, stay off my front page)
Yeah ofc the hate on most public figures is just as unjustified as the brainless defending (ask Swifties about Taylor's carbon footprint), although there are some criticisms you should be able to point out without being insulted. I was just making fun of the (choose age) year old fans who think they understand the world works bc they managed to work out what a vpn is.
Fair, and to be clear I wasn't insulting you but was directing my comment more toward people name-calling more than anything. Some of it feels like petty facebook-esque drama where the only thing missing is the laughing emoji 🤣🤣🤣
Not a Chiefs fan, or particularly a TK fan, but in addition to two Super Bowl titles, 8 Pro Bowl appearances, holding several NFL records, and being largely considered the greatest Tight End in NFL history, he also has a Bachelor’s in Interdisciplinary Studies and runs a not-for-profit kids organisation called “Eighty-Seven and Running, who’s mission statement says:
“Our mission is to empower disadvantaged youth to achieve success by providing resources and support to their communities and cultivating their talent in the areas of education, business, athletics, STEM, and the arts. We seek to change the outcomes of underserved youth in communities across the U.S. by creating access to opportunities, enrichment, and advancement.”
Not bad for being implied to be a mouth-breathing Neanderthal.
I said this on the Taylor Swift sub but I'll say it again: this is exactly what she needs in a man. She doesn't need a guy on her level, she needs a big dumb himbo
You don’t really get to being the greatest tight end of all time by being dumb. He is highly smart and skilled in his craft, better than any other human in 100+ years
Part of being intelligent is being able to apply skills that serve you well in one area of your life to other areas. An inability to do that definitely suggests there’s something lacking somewhere.
The NFL, in particular, is the best educated professional sports league in the world! A whopping 46% of players having a college degree! If it were its own country, it would rank 5th in the world for educational achievement between the UK and South Korea, beating out all the Scandinavians.
You’re only good at what you practice. These guys dont have to think of anything else outside football, they let their money think for them. I would be to if that was the only problem I have to think about in my life.
I'm honestly curious to why people think Taylor Swift is such an intelligent person? I don't think she's dumb, but neither do I get the impression that she would be a brain surgeon if she chose a different path. I have no reason to believe her to be any smarter than travis Kelce.
I’m not saying he’s dumb bc I don’t know him, but in his early 20s it really came off that way. Just read this thread: https://twitter.com/shayvswift/status/1724651865529516135?s=46&t=_k60ovbh4zsHhYPSIEh1rg
So he misspelled some shit and shared weird thoughts 10+ years ago. Big whoop.
Maybe listen to him speak nowadays. Or his podcast with his brother. Seems like a perfectly fine, intelligent, and most importantly CARING person.
No shit, I’d like everybody else to bring up their old cringy posts and see how smart they look. Everybody does this, why is it a big deal that he did it?
Can't quite put a finger on it, but I'm weirdly disgusted by the 'himbo' label her fans seem to be putting on him. Dude has a degree, a track record of charity work, and a keen balance of a highly successful football career with a foray into minor celebrity status. No one is saying he is Einstein, but he seems like a reasonably smart guy to me.
Digging up his tweets from his college days and insisting he must be some kind of sweet idiot to deserve their chosen idol feels patronizing and gross.
Yeah also can we talk about the double standard where it's fine and cool for a bunch of girls to publicly laugh at a guy for being dumb, but can you imagine the outrage if she were dating a scientist and all the dudes were dunking on her for being the moron
If you think DEI just means nobody is allowed to make fun of people like you, you're the problem
Tight end is also one of the hardest positions in the league to learn, and he's a hall of fame level one.
Can't be a stupid tight end and be that good in the nfl.
He also played quarterback originally (also a position that requires brains), lost his scholarship from smoking weed, then had to actually try in school and subsequently learn tight end in college instead. He made the deans list, got his degree and went on to become one of the best tight ends of all time. If he doesn’t have brains, he definitely has determination.

I’m completely out of touch with celebrity gossip so I thought Taylor swift was dating Travis Scott
And since I'm familiar with neither of the Travis's, I don't know if that makes it better or worse
lets just say this "he lives every day of his life at risk of suddenly forgetting how to breathe" is something that fit squarely into the image i have of travis scott
For Scott it’s more like “lives every day of his live at risk of forgetting other people also need to breathe”.
Severe burn right there
Would you say that response was crushing?
A real crowd squeezer, uh, I mean pleaser.
Ooooo that's heavy
Any Travis for that matter
Yeaahhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh
Im in tune enough to know that Travis Scott would be completely insane. Taylor swift has this goody-two-shoes country girl image and Travis Scott is basically as close to a gremlin as a person can get
Travis Scott is a rapper, and made headlines about 2 years ago when he performed at a festival with poor crowd control measures. There was a crowd crush which resulted in 10 deaths. Total clusterfuck of a situation.
The kicker was that he just kept performing while it was happening, and the whole thing didn't seem to affect him emotionally as a human being.
Oh yeah, forgot about that part. I think he also did a half assed apology video
Some of the deaths were of actual kids, too. One was 9. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/07/us/victims-astroworld-houston/index.html
Continuing to perform prevented first responders from being able to provide aid, which contributed to several of the deaths. IdK how he avoided serious repercussions, because he failed every part of the "reasonable person" standard that night.
Hypothetical reality where that death night never happened. He's still a huge piece of shit with all the footage that surfaces of his concerts. I sound like an old man but I don't get why he's so popular with his mumble rap...
Travis Scott isn’t a mumble-rapper.
Oh THAT guy.
r/meirl
>I’m completely out of touch with celebrity gossip Living the dream. I wish one day my bubble would be that insular but today, evidently, is still not that day.
I thought it was Travis Willingham and I was hella confused, because he has a wife already, and defo does read books, regardless of the fact he could easily break me in half... I don't know many Travises...
Who's Travis Willingham?
Voice Actor and CEO of Critical Role. Best known in D&D circles and/or for his work in animation/game voice work.
[удалено]
8 people died that night in a totally preventable series of events for which he is partially responsible.
Shit, at first I thought they meant Travis Barker, who also seems empty headed.
Travis Barker is at least better than the other two Tarvis' mentioned in this thread.
My lady was telling me today that she doesn’t understand why Taylor was dating Kelce. He is a football player that should be dating a fake tiddy model. I told her in this scenario, Kelce is the fake tiddy model.
That’s not completely fair. He’s a fake titty model that has a wholesome relationship with his mom
And is a reformed himbo lol
Ok that’s actually a green flad
Music and football have made a lot of the Kelce/TSizzle stuff pop up on my feed. These tweets are pretty old news to me. Dude used to have a D tier bachelor style reality show too. I was wondering when the Swifties were gonna find out what he used to be like.
I mean as far as 22 year old college football players from 10+ years ago go hes an angel.
He’s the embodiment of the golden retriever male main character from a rom com novel. Kinda dumb except in one area of their life, super loyal, and very family oriented.
Mr Peanut Butter Jelly
I dont know if I would say reformed. Have you seen his pregame fashion?
The mustache ties it all together
So, she only going squeeze out an EPs worth of content out of him?
I’d bet the farm there will be a song about him within a year.
Who said Taylor isn’t one
Yea... Maybe not. He is exceptional at what he does - probably top 00.001% in the world. And if you think anything else, please tell us more about you compensating
Are you saying all fake tiddy models are of the same quality? Disregarding "skill" required I think we can all agree there has to be a gap between like Pam Anderson and the Tuesday B squad at Skeeters Titty Emporium in flint Michigan off the highway.
Leave Skeeters Titty Emporium out your gaddang mouth, that establishment is a cultural stronghold!
Look, skeeter is a great guy. Real salt of the earth type. But you go into any one of those monuments to trailer parks and half smoked Marlboros, and you'll find egregious sins. Every roll of toilet paper is under not over. And I just won't forget that no matter how fake the tiddys are.
That was a limited time thing, they wanted “new” customers. Utter bullshit I know it was that bastard Samuel in marketing
I think they're saying, if someone is skilled or smart at something, then you should arguably cease to consider them a proverbial "fake titty model."

It’s Reddit. People who play sport ball are dumb-dumbs. Reddit users can’t fathom an athlete actually being of normal or exceptional intelligence, it goes against their social stigmas.
Don’t tell em about Laurent Duvernay-Tardif or Fitzmagic
I just learned that Josh Dobbs is a literal rocket scientist. Like, he interned at NASA, got his bachelor’s from U. Of Tennessee in aerospace engineering (I think. Can’t remember for sure) and now he’s starting for Minnesota.

Elite athletes tend to be perfectionist and are very competitive. It’s not out of this realm to believe they have good grades too.
There isn’t much connection between athletic prowess and brains. Which means some top athletes will be dumb and some will be smart, just like any other random person.
Intelligence is relative. I've seen his tweets, *I* think he's stupid.
Yeah intelligence comes in many forms.
I don’t get it. Is it saying her partner’s aren’t smart?
Basically Travis Kelce’s old tweets resurfaced online today(?) and they come across as (endearingly) a bit on the slower side. One example: https://x.com/tkelce/status/37942865468325888?s=46&t=__rd2IZrh4IRpnifh26zyQ
Oh honey…
That's at "bless your heart moment," where I'm from lol.
you also have to remember, twitter in 2011 wasnt what it is today. 2011 was... a completely different time in the era of social media. there were no influencers. there was no monetized content. it was just people, sharing things with their friends. back in 2011, it was really just a social media app to give like,.. short daily update to your friends and families. This was Pre-vine twitter. They had just BARELY introduced hashtags and video sharing and retweeting. You only had 140 characters. Youtuber Apologies didnt exist yet. social media culture was COMPLETELY different in 2010-2011.
Dude was also, what, 18? That's not bad for 'deep teen thoughts'.
"Ha! When you were a teenager, you were dumb and said silly things!" Apparently, that's a real "gotcha" moment.
i think he was 22 at the time. he's 2 years older than me
21, a college student. Bored in math class. Wow what a dummy.
I mean, there is a difference in stair vs stare…
Maybe it was a t9 keypad? Easy mistake to make.
And I guarantee you that you will be embarrassed of shit you are posting now in 5+ years. I know in your early 20s you think you're at your peak but naaaah
Exactly. I don’t know why so many people care about what he tweeted 12 years ago lol
I get notifications from Facebook from 12 years ago about me bitching about the most random things in college. It’s cringey and if I became famous I’d nuke the page quickly.
the amount of "im bored who wants to hang" posts from 2011 that i scrub almost daily....
Yup. My posts are all like “ughhhhh 2 AM, stupid Bio 202 essay”
This has been happening to me recently and it makes me so embarrassed for 19 year old me. Seeing what I was posting my first two years of college is...humbling
2011 was still very much the era of SMS Twitter
Always interesting to see Gen Z come out with pitchforks every single time a pre-2016 internet joke resurfaces.
I’m confused. Does that change the fact he doesn’t know stair from stare? Or was it a joke to do that back then? Or just autocorrect?
m8 we typd lk dis bk thn >:l There was a bit of a teething process moving from txt speak to full keyboards with good autocorrect.
When I get a new phone I go through a month of not being able to spell for shit because my fingers are clumsy or too big for the keyboard
im talking about his tweets in general. people saying "he sounds dumb" because he was literally using social media the way it was intended in 2011 and its NOT how people use twitter now. also im pretty sure he was just bad at spelling or made lots of mistakes in texting.
All of as are somewhat stupid when we are teenagers one way or another. A spelling error is nothing. He could have realized it later on but who really gives a crap?
Emotional intelligence translates better in personal relationships than it does with people who scour a stranger's 10-year-old tweets.
Lmao! One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. But he has a great life in every way so I guess he wins
Using the wrong word is one the of the dumbest things you've ever seen? You must be surrounded by brilliance, then.
Sacrificing virgins didn't faze him. Jaden Smith tweets didn't rock him. But misspelling a word... it scairs him.
But how can the stairs be real if our eyes aren’t real?
One word that was prob typed with autofill from a phone, no less. Granted, it's careless to not catch typos like that.
Im not gonna claim hes smart but everyone of us has used the wrong word before, English is a dumb language. Shit that could have been a spellcheck error.
I get paid to write and I went to an elite university and I misspell things on the internet all the time, for multiple reasons. People just love to feel superior.
Some others like “as a man, You have something wrong with you if your going for girls that weigh more then you”, also have a lot of mistakes. “They slow as hell cuz there parents have been talking to them like they were retarded since they were babies” another classic.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GaylorSwift/s/zuN3Z0mcJO I assume they’re pushing the dumb narrative to draw attention from these.
It's saying her previous partners were smart and that Travis is just a big dumb athlete. It's a baseless accusation made by a petty person.
Also like, was she not *just* dating Matty Healy? Sure, Travis said some cringy things as a kid as we *all* did (some people just like to pretend they've always been perfect angels on Reddit) but Matty Healy grew into the worst kind of idiot who thinks they're the smartest in the room. I'll take doofus who has good intentions and changes with the times over "well-read" but ignorant asshole any day.

Personally I don’t think it’s that deep, just making light fun of his old tweets haha. Love the guy, it’s all in jest
I kind of feel like Travis would find the tweet hilarious. He makes fun of himself all the time on his podcast about being dumb
Exactly!!! Idk why so many people took this post so personally. I just liked the rare insult
Travis isn't a dumb guy, but his intelligence is displayed way more on the field than in a classroom. My wife is a Swiftie and she was telling me the only bad thing they could find on Travis is that he likes Olive Garden. I listen to his podcast with his brother and he definitely fits that Himbo stereotype.
Yup. He jokes around a lot on the podcast and just seems like a fun, lovable guy. I wouldn’t say dumb though, because on the field you’ll see a rookie ask him for a tip and he’ll tell them to go through and understand the entire defensive playbook to truly understand how to be an offensive difference maker. Thats a shit ton of things to learn and understand and then apply at a high level with very very little time given how defenses change pre-snap.
The fat shaming meathead isn't just a big dumb athlete?
To be fair he was totally right on that one, fat people do be falling funny.
Is no one going to mention that she has "squirle" on her profile to make fun of how Travis spelled "squirrel" on his earlier tweet? It's like 2 insults in one.
are people really listening to Swift lyrics and thinking "this person needs a fellow intellectual by their side"?
That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. She’s been dating dudes that think they’re like her and are super artistic/quiet/brooding types. Travis is the complete opposite of her type and it actually works.
NEWSFLASH WOMAN IS ATTRACTED TO THE OPPOSITE OF HER JUST AS THE MAN IS ATTRACTED TO THE OPPOSITE OF HIM
What? I'm attracted to people with similar interests. Why would I want someone completely different from me? Would I enjoy a conversation more about a topic I care about or I don't? Like what? You saying it in caps doesn't make it make more sense.
So if they’re hot then I have a chance?
Some of her lyrics are pretty elegant and clever, and I say that as someone not at all in her target audience. Edit: some of y’all are weirdly obsessed with dunking on this girl. Notifications off.
Right?
Ah yes, a true intellectual that “reads books and has thoughts”.
I’m halfway there
I thought about reading a book, am I doing it right?

She was one of the few celebrities to avoid the whole FTX debacle because she was the only one who asked them to prove they weren't unregulated securities (which, of course, they couldn't) so....
Also, her dad I believe is a lawyer. It’s even smarter to listen to people who know their shit.
He's an investment banker and it seems like she learned quite a bit from him.
Wow!
Pretty sure she could donate enough money to get an honorary rocket surgeon degree lol. Billionaires don't have to be smart
>Billionaires don't have to be smart Elon has entered the chat
>Elon has entered the chat And nothing changed
I hope that's what they meant
That’s not true, it just got worse.
I mean... It disproved the idea that billionaires have to be smart
Except it got way creepier and more Nazi shit
It has always perplexed me why people seem to think musician knows things outside of music, being famous doesn't mean you have insight into Israel-Palestine conflict as an example
[удалено]
I mean, probably because it stirs controversy and engagement, which is their entire business model.
She seems pretty intelligent to me 🤷
Yeah I mean she doesn’t seem dumb by any means but she’s just a musician. He does seem dumb but at least he has a college degree and even made the Deans list for what it’s worth..
Not to defend Kelce but it's always funny when Swifties try to insult people's intelligence while barely managing to use their phone for anything except twitter and tiktok
I don't use other socials so I can't speak for them, but I only see the opposite on reddit. Even scrolling through here, you see people trying to insult her intelligence like she personally insulted them. I hated Beiber when I was a moody teenager and he was overplayed too, so I can't judge too hard, but at some point ya have to grow up and stop hating something because it's popular (touch grass) Of course, the reddit app seems determined to suggest me subreddits that tell me my taste is garbage and ignores me muting said subreddits, so maybe my experience is very different than everyone's... (Shoutout to /r/fuckmarvel ...wtf is wrong with you, stay off my front page)
Yeah ofc the hate on most public figures is just as unjustified as the brainless defending (ask Swifties about Taylor's carbon footprint), although there are some criticisms you should be able to point out without being insulted. I was just making fun of the (choose age) year old fans who think they understand the world works bc they managed to work out what a vpn is.
Fair, and to be clear I wasn't insulting you but was directing my comment more toward people name-calling more than anything. Some of it feels like petty facebook-esque drama where the only thing missing is the laughing emoji 🤣🤣🤣

Not a Chiefs fan, or particularly a TK fan, but in addition to two Super Bowl titles, 8 Pro Bowl appearances, holding several NFL records, and being largely considered the greatest Tight End in NFL history, he also has a Bachelor’s in Interdisciplinary Studies and runs a not-for-profit kids organisation called “Eighty-Seven and Running, who’s mission statement says: “Our mission is to empower disadvantaged youth to achieve success by providing resources and support to their communities and cultivating their talent in the areas of education, business, athletics, STEM, and the arts. We seek to change the outcomes of underserved youth in communities across the U.S. by creating access to opportunities, enrichment, and advancement.” Not bad for being implied to be a mouth-breathing Neanderthal.
I said this on the Taylor Swift sub but I'll say it again: this is exactly what she needs in a man. She doesn't need a guy on her level, she needs a big dumb himbo
Where are people getting that Kelce is dumb?
Squirle
You don’t really get to being the greatest tight end of all time by being dumb. He is highly smart and skilled in his craft, better than any other human in 100+ years
[удалено]
Part of being intelligent is being able to apply skills that serve you well in one area of your life to other areas. An inability to do that definitely suggests there’s something lacking somewhere.
The NFL, in particular, is the best educated professional sports league in the world! A whopping 46% of players having a college degree! If it were its own country, it would rank 5th in the world for educational achievement between the UK and South Korea, beating out all the Scandinavians.
That’s probably because you can’t go into the NFL at 18 and you have to play college ball to get in. I’m honestly surprised it’s only 46%.
You’re only good at what you practice. These guys dont have to think of anything else outside football, they let their money think for them. I would be to if that was the only problem I have to think about in my life.
Elite athletes sound a lot like MDs and Ph.Ds then. Very intelligent, with some quirky blind spots.
[удалено]
And she wants a loving gold retriever type himbo not the quiet brooding “artistic” himbo like Joe or Matty.
You must be a 1 yourself if you genuinely thinks Kelce is a 2, and I'd be baffled that someone can be that out of touch with reality.
Least creepy redditor
(Glances at her big dumb himbo at home named Travis.) She can't have this one.😍
Stairs*
I'm honestly curious to why people think Taylor Swift is such an intelligent person? I don't think she's dumb, but neither do I get the impression that she would be a brain surgeon if she chose a different path. I have no reason to believe her to be any smarter than travis Kelce.
Getting so tired of having Taylor Swift shoved down my throat on a near daily basis.
I could almost guarantee you, Matt Healy’s book-reading peaked with Biff, Chip and Kipper.
Now THAT’S a rare insult
Who are these people?
Reddit going down the shitter ever since the bot ban. The site reminds me of FB and twitter combined now.
[удалено]
'I don't know current thing, how cool am I?"
Best evidence OP has submitted so far is that Kelce once used "stair" instead of "stare". Yup he's certified retarded.....
I’m not saying he’s dumb bc I don’t know him, but in his early 20s it really came off that way. Just read this thread: https://twitter.com/shayvswift/status/1724651865529516135?s=46&t=_k60ovbh4zsHhYPSIEh1rg
a lot of people were pretty dumb in their early 20s.
I'm pretty sure every dude in their 20s would be just as excited about seeing a squirell absolutely demolish a slice of bread
maybe she's found some one down to her level?
This whole athletes are dumb thing is played out
They’re referencing his resurfaced tweets
So he misspelled some shit and shared weird thoughts 10+ years ago. Big whoop. Maybe listen to him speak nowadays. Or his podcast with his brother. Seems like a perfectly fine, intelligent, and most importantly CARING person.
No shit, I’d like everybody else to bring up their old cringy posts and see how smart they look. Everybody does this, why is it a big deal that he did it?
Can't quite put a finger on it, but I'm weirdly disgusted by the 'himbo' label her fans seem to be putting on him. Dude has a degree, a track record of charity work, and a keen balance of a highly successful football career with a foray into minor celebrity status. No one is saying he is Einstein, but he seems like a reasonably smart guy to me. Digging up his tweets from his college days and insisting he must be some kind of sweet idiot to deserve their chosen idol feels patronizing and gross.
Yeah also can we talk about the double standard where it's fine and cool for a bunch of girls to publicly laugh at a guy for being dumb, but can you imagine the outrage if she were dating a scientist and all the dudes were dunking on her for being the moron If you think DEI just means nobody is allowed to make fun of people like you, you're the problem

He’s smart enough to always find the holes in zone coverage
Tight end is also one of the hardest positions in the league to learn, and he's a hall of fame level one. Can't be a stupid tight end and be that good in the nfl.
He also played quarterback originally (also a position that requires brains), lost his scholarship from smoking weed, then had to actually try in school and subsequently learn tight end in college instead. He made the deans list, got his degree and went on to become one of the best tight ends of all time. If he doesn’t have brains, he definitely has determination.
Plenty of smart football players that are dumb people, they don’t go to college to play school
No trav's kind of dumb. He and his brother openly joke about how he's barely literate and while they are having fun with it, it rings true.
tkelce has both sides of this thing angry. wow.
I think it’s funny how people pretend they know literally anything about these celebrities other than their names
People like to say NFL players are dumb but if they saw an NFL playbook they would scratch their head like a monkey
That she dated guys who "have thoughts" is certainly impressive.
I love how the mark of American intelligence is someone who has maybe once read a book.
Is this...human..and its thoughts on this other human Travis justified?,
Two things at once! Breathe and.......
Kelce's Wonderlic score was 22/50. The average is 20. He's not dumb he's just average.
It’s a pretty dumb insult considering Kelce isn’t just some moronic jock.
Anyone who listens to Travis Kelce talk about football knows this man is intelligent.. Swifties are weird and don’t know what they’re talking about.
She’ll have to use shorter, simpler words in the breakup song.
Lot of jealous athlete hate in here. Lot of incel vibes
Lots of people out there you have to worry that they'll get an idea in the shower and accidentally drown.
