Maybe so. I'm a bit of a cynic. Their kiss seems genuine enough and for her sake I hope it doesn't end badly but, I just don't know how it can work. I mean you have someone who's a huge commodity (as most superstars are) paired up with a celebrity athlete, and the world is tugging at them all the time. My honest prediction is, it may last for a year, or two, but even if they get married, I doubt it will work in the long run. I don't know why exactly, I feel like he is just not the right one, but that's really just an opinion.
Honestly, I think part of the problem is just all of us holding celebrities to standards that we, ourselves, don't measure up to. Most relationships fail. Or, like, about half of them. At any rate, most people have multiple shitty, regrettable relationships, over the course of their lives. And many of us are never really happy in that area of our lives, all the way up until we die.
Sure, there are always times in history when society places huge traditional and/or legal pressure on people to stay in (possibly arranged) marriages forever, whether they're happy or not. No sane person should ever look back on those times and say "oh, everything was so much better, back when people had morals. I bet everyone was constantly happy, in those days."
If you believe that, I've got a matrimonial bridge to sell you, in Brooklyn.
And yeah, maybe Ms. Swift has had more exes than the average person. But, ya know, she can kinda afford to do whatever she wants. And, on the other hand, the one thing she can't ever buy is privacy. Everyone will be poking telephoto lenses into her life, from now until she's 200 years old, and mostly a robot. At this point, I think she's old enough to have truly realized that, and come to terms with it, as much as anybody can.
So I think she's just taking the whole thing one day at a time, and probably not worrying about whether Mr. Kelce is "the one" all that much.
I know that is true of me, but I eventually decided to can the whole idea of a relationship and just be an independent bitter and dysfunctional adult (!).
I think one reason people have such terrible relationships, quite honestly is because, growing up, we never learn the value of compromise. Especially nowadays - I think people are taught to get get exactly what they demand all the time, and if they don't that makes them weak and somehow unfit - we keep telling people, "kick ass" and "never give in." I'm not sure that's the right message in all situations.
Anyway time will tell, maybe things will work out great for the both of them. I truly am not worried about it, to be honest I really never even knew what Taylor Swift looked like until I saw her at the Superbowl on TV. I'm not a Swifty or whatever they call her mega-fans - Just a casual observer.
