To me, Taylor is like that friend we've all had who after a breakup keeps saying she's FINE, but, spoiler alert, isn't fine. And she shouldn't feel like she has to be, either. There's nothing wrong with grieving a long relationship, no matter how it ended.
Like why do we, the public, need to be convinced that she's fine? Cause we know that she is never papped so brazenly unless she wants to be seen. So why go to all that trouble just to be photographed looking hot with her other hot friends?
It's like, who's she trying to convince? Us, Joe, herself?
It all personally makes me even more convinced she's the dumpee. The dumper never has to go to any trouble to prove anything. And with her massive tour going on, she really has zero need for extra publicity.
Just my thoughts, ofc I don't actually know anything.
