The Deadheads, the BeyHive, the Swifties …

Fandom is power.  And can be wielded as a sword or shield.

Must admit … never been much for pop culture.

Transitory … irrelevant … inscrutable.  Who knows what’s popular, and how/why it gets that way?

BUT … but.  Since the shearing of the “g.o.a.t.” actually watched the Bowl of Supers, and witnessed the Niners struggle not to lose while the Chiefs cruised (effortlessly? methinks certainly looked as if) to another win.  Patrick Mahomes might actually be one of the greats.  But in Kansas City?  Really? 

Whelp, did produce the Nigerian Nightmare (how cool of a nickname is that?) so there is a thing.

Also got to enjoy a grown man in tight, white pants yelling at his elder statesman. 
Love me some Andy Reid.  Now there’s a g.o.a.t.!  Three out of four is pretty darn good. Just had to leave Philly to get over the hump. 

Anyhoo, the aforementioned grown man shouting in tightie-whities is the current Mr. Swift, and I have to wonder … what’s taking so long?  Maybe it’s her.

Naaahhhh.  It’s him.  Not like I know know, but can still strongly suspect.

Can you really give a shut-up ring to Taylor Swift? 

Men decide in the first 30 days if a woman is a keeper.  Women can take a decade to due diligence a guy — or, alternatively, in the first 12 seconds – but guys watch, and learn, and listen, and choose fairly quickly … about the same time as a short-term loan, no vig.

Anyhoo, during the Big Game saw much of Ms. Swift … pretty girl—well, woman.  Thought she was right around 25-ish but born in ’89, so she’s actually right up against the Wall.  Which, again, begs the question:  what’s the hold up?  They look pretty stolid, but so were Ben&Jen (compatible iteration).

Strikes me that Ms. Swift and near-Mr. Swift are the cutest couple in contemporary celebrity (since the demise of … Bennifer 2.0?  Fleck-Lo?  Whatever) and will either have/make absolutely the most beautiful babies or totally unfortunate shreks.  One guarantee?  In any event … they will be tall.

Of course there first must be the Wedding of the Millenium … total spectacle, live-streamed. 

They (Mr. Kelce/Ms. Swift) should elope … get married at a courthouse in PA or on a farm, tell no one but the closest of friends&fam, then couple the announcement of their marriage on the ‘gram with pregnancy news.

And you thought the death of Michael Jackson broke the internet.

Talk about famous.  Such is the price (debt?) of global celebrity. 

At any rate, because she is the iconic juggernaut that is she, the baller’s only option is to marry her or be vilified as just another ex … and incur the wrath of the Swifties, who will – predictably and in turn – vise his nuts.   

Styles started wearing dresses after the legendary Ms. Swift was done with him.  And what has he done lately?  Wasn’t Kanye/Ye adjudicated insane after going after Tay-Tay?  Consequences and repercussions, indeed.

Like I said … not one for pop culture, but Taylor Swift managed to pierce even my veil of ignorance, no small feat. 

And she’s professed to be a Christian, altho’ what kind is as yet not entirely clear.  {Proverbs 31:30}

Pro-choice.  Pro-pride.  Pro-gun control.  Yet she hails from the South.  Hmmm … Book, sans cover.

All snark aside, I do wish the beautiful couple all the best.  Don’t want the Swifties coming for me.  [shudder]
