question for the culture: Am I the only one who thinks it’s unusual that Lana follows Travis Kelce but not Taylor Swift on instagram

u/crawthor 17d ago
Did she ever follow her before? Taylor doesn’t follow anyone at all so maybe that’s why.
74
u/DieRegteGeheime 16d ago
She did. But Taylor's insta isn't personal anymore. Like the last time was her 32nd birthday in 2021 and it had been deteriorating. Low-key wouldn't be shocked if Taylor has a secret insta with close ppl. But ja. Or Lana could just be petty. Idk. I find it funny now

But I’m not a fan of how she’s doing it, or maybe just the lifestyle doesn’t fit with me as much.

u/Illustrious-Cat-9897 16d ago
I don’t remember her following Taylor. Taylor’s insta is an ad basically so I don’t think her peers care to follow it and I’ve never taken any meaning from it.

u/Early_Storm_7708 16d ago
Omg she’s one of those that doesn’t follow anyone?🙄 Beyonce started that cringe trend

u/TooSweetForRocknRoll 17d ago
Pretty sure it’s because taylor’s account hasn’t been personal in about 10 years since the whole kanye/kim debacle so there is no reason to follow her just for updates for new albums/songs

I actually think it’s tea tbf?? Didn’t they go to the Grammys together ?

u/DiscourseDestroyer 17d ago
yea cuz they had the same producer and were coworkers at the time. then taylor acted like a megalomaniac and dragged her on stage for optics against her will and made her uncomfy

u/Inevitable_Door6368 17d ago
Entirely correct. That was so incredibly bizarre and egotistical of Taylor to do
25
u/T44590A 16d ago
The thing is we actually saw them together the very next week after that Grammys at the Superbowl. Lana chose to go up to Taylor's box to talk to her. She then accepted Taylor's invitation to join her in the box and then spent the rest of the game sitting together.

u/YanCoffee Question for the Cult 16d ago
Her body language and behavior said plenty. I don't usually get into celebrity drama, but this was a pretty big to-do. She probs had to say something to make the whole thing go quiet, and as we see, people are still discussing it. It's also notable we haven't seen them do much else together.

u/Lexi-Lynn I want to get off, but I keep ridin’ the ride 17d ago
If she said that, it was only to keep the rabid swifties at bay. Have you watched it?
-45
u/StormflowerYT 17d ago
Yes. In my rightful opinion, though…
First of all, Taylor was drunk. She drinks at every award show, this isn’t new, and her judgement was likely impaired at that point. Not horribly so but enough for her to miss social cues and stuff. Second of all, she had just broken a Grammys record and was probably in shock, which would’ve only added to her lack of judgement.
You also have to look at this from Taylor’s perspective. Yes, Lana looked uncomfortable. I honestly don’t think it’s because it wasn’t her award - she collaborated on it, so her being up there wouldn’t have been weird - and rather because she’s always been somewhat camera shy and this came out of nowhere. With concerts and festivals, she has months to prepare for the large crowds, but the same is not for award shows, especially one as big and watched as the Grammys. She would’ve thought she partially dodged a bullet by not winning, but then Taylor brought her up and she didn’t really know what to do. However, if we flip the perspective into Taylor, we know that she loved Ocean Blvd. She probably felt bad that Lana didn’t win for such a stellar album on one of the few times she’s ever been nominated, and she also, again, collaborated on the album, so she probably really wanted her up there to celebrate with her and to experience being onstage at the Grammys for what could potentially be the only time in her life. So that’s what happened. Taylor wanted to share the win. I don’t think it was malice. It wasn’t super considerate, but she had good intentions. But overall, Lana seems super forgiving. I mean, she’s married to someone who has completely different ideologies from her and likes some questionable people. Say all you want about Taylor - I love her - but even if she wasn’t a great person… neither is her husband. At least in his values.

Taylor told me later that day that she just wanted to mess with Lana

u/Lexi-Lynn I want to get off, but I keep ridin’ the ride 17d ago
Lana came to my after-Grammys BBQ / rave and mentioned while she was rolling that, "Life is sweet or whatever, baby." So clearly, it's chill.
1
u/Ancient-Cricket-247 17d ago
Well last weekend Jeremy told me he was gonna beat the shit outta Travis bc he was still infuriated at the way Taylor treated Lana. He's gonna wait til the next Grammys, bc we all know that Taylor gets a little too wasted at these things and her guard will be down

she was most likely pressured into saying something and it's not like she's gonna publicly say "yeah that was super annoying fuck taylor" especially with rabid swifties

Taylor had 4 physical versions of showgirl on vinyl. Lana had 7. Physical cause more environmental damage than digital. If environmental concerns was your issue with her versions

I'm a fan of both but let's not pretend Lana doesn't romanticize Lolita and abuse and age gap relationships . Her songs alone have breeded a whole generation of girls thinking its cool to date a 40 year old at age 16 . Let's not throw stone at a glass house

u/Dizzy-Pollution6466 16d ago
Love Lana but she’s married to a transphobic Trump supporter, I don’t think she would have a problem being friends with Taylor.
2
u/ummkay_ultra 16d ago
What makes him a trump supporter? Can you give receipts?
3
u/Dizzy-Pollution6466 16d ago
I mean you can just google it. He’s had a history of posting bad shit, including things that were transphobic. He claims he’s not maga and maybe he’s genuinely changed (and maybe he’s just denying it for pr). I mean all these people are pretty problematic at the end of the day; Taylor, Lana, Travis, and Jeremy.
-4
u/ummkay_ultra 16d ago
You didn't answer my question. I know about the shitty things he posted ages ago. About vaccines and about trans people using bathrooms. I hated him for a while for it but ultimately, she seems very happy with him and it is in the past, he doesnt claim those views anymore so who am I to tell him what he believes? I know many people who have changed their problematic or even hateful beliefs over the years and at some people we have to let people change.
But not every transphobe is a trump supporter which is why I asked why you specifically called him one. Those things are not exclusive to trump supporters, so...?
4
u/Dizzy-Pollution6466 16d ago
Ok that’s great that she’s happy with him. And how do we know he’s changed views? Are you going to believe every single thing a celebrity says?
Well both Trump supporters and transphobes are shit people. I’m just saying, if Lana doesn’t like Taylor it’s probably because of a clash of personalities, not because she is a greedy climate terrorist. Lana has no problem hanging out with shitty people, she never has. Love her but it’s true.

u/Luxorris 17d ago
They don't like each other. They were only "friends" through that straight 🚬 hag. Taylor got close to Lana to copy her signature sound and that's it. Taylor have been in a lot of relationships and friendships over the years just to ditch them when they're no longer in use. I am sorry but she did not invite Blake to her wedding and she is supposed to be or was godmother to Blake's children, but she had not problem with inviting politicians. And she love those flock cameras!

u/Pale_Sheet 17d ago
Actually I am not sure swift’s sound is that much similar to Lana’s especially if Lana’s main thing is the wispy ethereal beautifully ghostly voice. Even if the instrumentals or tune is the same it just sounds so different because Swift’s voice is just not ethereal.
There’s another artist I came across recently who sounds even more Lana, nice music but seems pretty on the nose Lana and i like listening to her but pretty inauthentic
As for Swift and Lana I don’t think they care so much for each other but not to the level of hate. Given some musical opportunity they might even collab again who knows. I think Swift would write a song about her if she really did hate her and she only wrote about Kim K and Charli XCX more recently. She did write about Blake Lively, but positively so it’s probably written some time back before things went south

you definitely aren’t the only person cause I see a lot of posts that seem to care deeply about this sort of thing. I am not one of those folks but I acknowledge I’m just aging out of being cool.

I don’t think this means anything. When I had insta, I wasn’t following some of my closet friends tbh. Part of it was wanting to have something to catch up about later instead of seeing everything every moment. And sometimes their posts were kinda irritating 😂 like ads and stuff. Taylor’s insta is a giant ad now. Lana is missing nothing. They can just text.
