Taylor Swift recently got engaged to Travis Kelce, and of course, the internet had some opinions about it. But our girl Taylor wasn’t having any of that negativity on her engagement announcement. She straight-up blocked all the haters from commenting on her posts about her big news.
And you know what? Good for her! Taylor doesn’t need that kind of negativity in her life, especially when she’s trying to celebrate something as special as her engagement.
The pop megastar, 35, and the NFL player, 35, officially revealed their engagement news on Tuesday, with a romantic photoshoot showing Kelce proposing on one knee in a rose garden.
And though the post has already garnered over 19 million likes, the singer kept her comments turned off, preventing anyone from chiming in about the happy news.
Many were surprised that Swift blocked friends and fans from reacting on such a huge announcement, especially given that the star is known for having a close relationship with her audience.
However, it’s a social media policy the hitmaker has followed for a number of years, previously explaining that it helps her ‘block some of the noise’ and ‘not need the validation.’
Swift’s strategic move to stamp out any nasty comments on the post — which has even inspired a reaction from President Donald Trump — comes as irate football fans called the engagement news the ‘worst thing that could happen to the NFL.’
In 2019, Taylor opened up about keeping her Instagram comments turned off in an Elle interview.
‘Yes, I keep comments off on my posts. That way, I’m showing my friends and fans updates on my life, but I’m training my brain to not need the validation of someone telling me that I look [fire emoji].’
‘I’m also blocking out anyone who might feel the need to tell me to “go die in a hole h-” while I’m having my coffee at nine in the morning. I think it’s healthy for your self-esteem to need less internet praise to appease it.’
So, if you were thinking of leaving a rude comment on Taylor’s post, think again – she’s not messing around when it comes to defending her happiness.
