Let’s talk about Travis. This guy’s got nerves of steel. He’s played in three Super Bowls, and won two. No biggie, right? But that’s not all. He’s also hosted Saturday Night Live. So, he’s no stranger to the spotlight.
Now, you might think, “So what?” But here’s the thing. Taylor’s written a bunch of songs about her fear. She worries that her fame might be too much for her partner to handle. Songs like “Peace” and “The Archer” give us a glimpse into her fears.
Taylor once said, “It all depends who you’re with.” If her partner can’t handle her fame, she feels like she’s on the run. She doesn’t want to feel like a fugitive. She doesn’t want to hide her relationship like it’s some illegal affair.
She wants normalcy. She wants a relationship that feels normal, despite her fame. And guess what? Travis seems up for the challenge.
In a Wall Street Journal interview, Travis showed he’s ready for the pressure. Dating someone as famous as Taylor? He’s not scared. He said, “Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them…I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.”
He gets it. He understands the scrutiny Taylor faces. The constant paparazzi. The magnifying glass on her every move. And he’s cool with it. He said, “When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.” So, yeah. Travis can handle the pressure.
