    Yes. The company she keeps is her boyfriend. Her boyfriend who is a tight end (hee hee) on the same team that Mahomes is a quarterback on. That means he only “looks good” if Mahomes throws to him.

    Welcome to being an adult. Yes, there are thresholds where you say “Fuck off, I don’t care”. But when it can potentially ruin your partner’s career to not smile and nod? You act like an adult and smile and nod. And then you go off on them during the car ride home (well… plane ride for T-Swizzle).

    Nobody (sane) is going to argue that Taylor is a secret leftist or anything. But she has consistently shown that she cares about LGBTQ+ rights and Womens’ Rights (whether as part of her brand or as herself, it doesn’t matter) and quietly endorsed Biden. The only question was whether she would stay silent, quietly endorse Kamala, or release a press release. She chose the press release.

    But hey, feel free to continue making deranged purity tests that just alienate everyone else. That totally leads to electoral wins and change.

      It’s not deranged. There are degrees and nuances to all human relationships and situations but this was and is a pretty public one. These are hard choices for anyone but they do still matter. I don’t think smiling and nodding is acting like an adult, I think it’s cowardly. There is no maturity in avoiding things.
