Taylor Swift's date-night outfit for Travis Kelce draws fan backlash and calls for a new stylist
Wearing a powder-blue corset-style top from Reformation paired with a Miu Miu embroidered mini skirt and cream heels, Taylor Swift clearly intended to channel a polished and playful summer vibe. The look was completed with her signature red lipstick, a side-swept French braid, and a white shoulder bag — all subtle nods to her 1989 era.

But the internet was unimpressed. Across social media, fans and fashion commentators alike voiced strong disapproval.
One critic @jamielopez3040 said, 'Taylor really has no fashion sense,' while another @beachbabs added, 'Time to drop the schoolgirl act and ditch the bangs.'
One user @this_brown_egg went further: 'That skirt looks ridiculous. It's made for a child.' And the critique didn't stop with Swift — even Kelce was roped in with the jab, 'The worst-dressed couple!! They both need to hire a stylist immediately!!'

A prior outing with Selena Gomez also drew backlash after she wore a black Gucci mini dress and chunky platform heels — described by fans as having a mismatched '1990s prom vibe.' One fan summed it up bluntly: 'Taylor's dress is so ill-fitting on her body type... Taylor has zero style.'
The recurring criticism has led many to question whether the pop superstar's signature mix of vintage flair and modern fashion has lost its edge.
While Swift is known for leaning into nostalgic callbacks, some argue she's becoming more of a 'style follower' than a trendsetter. 'Tay Tay needs a new stylist,' another fan urged.
Yet, despite the backlash, fashion insiders note that her corset top — Reformation's Seren — is a current best-seller, indicating Swift's eye for trendy, sustainable pieces hasn't disappeared completely. The disconnect, they argue, lies in the overall execution, not the individual pieces.

The thinking woman: An unwelcome truth
Namrata is a writer, editor, and book reviewer. A published author her stories and articles have been published in various anthologies and magazines. After being an investment banker for a decade she found her true calling in books. With numbers playing in her mind and words throbbing through her veins for close to a decade now she writes, reads, and of course forgets to count them. She is currently working on her debut work of fiction based on Partition. When not reading, she can be found writing about books, music, and films on Twitter @privytrifles LESS ... MORE She thinks. She asks. And suddenly, she becomes a threat. In every sphere of life, the thinking woman is viewed with suspicion. Not because she lacks charm or beauty, but because she refuses to silence her mind. Whether it's in cinema, literature, or even the very interviews that promote women, the message is the same: keep your thoughts light, your questions few, and your opinions palatable. The 'play dumb' script: Acting dumb for popularity It's a bitter truth of Indian popular culture that actresses often feel pressured to 'play dumb' to become more likable and marketable. In interviews, many actresses are subtly — or sometimes overtly — encouraged to downplay their intellect, avoid controversial opinions, and stick to safe, agreeable answers. Compliments pour in for 'sweet,' 'innocent,' or 'simple' answers, while articulate, nuanced responses are met with discomfort or dismissiveness. This expectation is not only unfair but deeply insulting. Women who choose to express themselves thoughtfully risk losing mass appeal. The pressure to conform to this image has silenced many voices. Women who think and speak out: The exception, not the rule Take Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, and Sushmita Sen — three women who have refused to stay quiet. They are outspoken, politically aware, and vocal about feminism, mental health, and social issues. Despite their talent and popularity, their outspokenness often leads to polarized reactions. Vidya Balan, known for portraying strong, complex women on screen, is equally fearless off-screen — speaking openly about women's rights and gender stereotypes. Taapsee Pannu, who speaks candidly about industry politics and social injustices, has faced trolling and backlash for her bluntness. Sushmita Sen, a former Miss Universe and an icon of independence, consistently challenges patriarchal norms with her unapologetic confidence and liberal views. Yet, all three are sometimes labeled as 'too political,' 'controversial,' or 'difficult,' showing how society is uncomfortable with women who think loudly and live authentically. Contemporary Indian literature: Voices that refuse to be silenced The literary landscape in India today features fearless women writers who refuse to simplify female experience or shy away from uncomfortable truths. Writers like Meena Kandasamy and Nivedita Menon bring powerful feminist critiques that challenge caste, patriarchy, and social injustice head-on. Nilanjana Bhowmick's work delves into the complexities of womanhood and identity, refusing to shy away from portraying women who think deeply and live unapologetically. Annie Zaidi, through her essays and fiction, highlights the struggles and resilience of women who question societal norms and demand visibility. Tishani Doshi's poetry and prose explore the intersections of gender, identity, and belonging with a sensitivity that refuses to let women's voices be sidelined. Together, these authors and activists create a chorus of modern Indian women who think critically, ask questions, and demand change — even when the world is uncomfortable hearing them. The real cost: Popularity vs. authenticity The sad reality is that women who ask questions and express strong opinions often lose out on popularity. The system rewards compliance and punishes dissent. Even on social media, the trolling of women who dare to think critically and challenge norms is relentless. This extends beyond cinema and literature. In workplaces, women who negotiate salaries or question policies are branded 'bossy' or 'aggressive.' In politics, outspoken women leaders are constantly scrutinized more harshly than their male counterparts. Why does the world fear a thinking woman? Because a thinking woman is unpredictable. She doesn't fit into neat boxes. She disrupts the comfortable narrative of docility. She forces the world to reflect and sometimes, to change. The discomfort is not because thinking women are threatening by nature, but because they threaten the fragile power structures that rely on silence and obedience. The bright future of thinking women Despite the barriers, the thinking woman is rising. For every troll, there are millions who listen. For every closed door, a new path is carved. For every attempt to dim her voice, her fire only grows stronger. The world may fear her now — but it cannot stop her. Because the thinking woman is here, speaking up, questioning, and demanding a seat at every table. And this time, she's not going anywhere.

Taylor Swift's Relationship Timeline Joe Jonas: July-October 2008 Image credits: Getty Images It is widely known that the best thing that Taylor got out of her short-lived relationship with Joe was Selena Gomez as her best friend, as the singer had been dating Nick Jonas. While Swift's relationship with Joe is nothing to write in the books about, it was their breakup that managed to stir the media pot. In an Ellen De Genres interview Swift shared how Jonas broke up with her over the phone, 'When I find that person who is right for me, he'll be wonderful, and when I look at that person, I'm not even gonna be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18. ' Lucas Till: March-April 2009 Image credits: Getty Images While Taylor has never confirmed it, Lucas Till, who starred in her popular music video 'You Belong With Me', claimed that the two dated for a month. 'We dated for a little bit. But there was no friction because we were too nice. We just really both liked each other…[but] most relationships work out 'cause you get along and then you don't, and then you make up and it's passionate, and with us, I really just liked her as a friend. That's the only reason that didn't work out,' he said to MTV. Taylor Lautner : 2009 Fall Image credits: Getty Images We have been witness to their reunion on stage, and yes, there was a time Swift really wanted to go 'Back to December' for 'Twilight' star Taylor Lautner. The two met while filming the movie 'Valentine's Day' and fell for each other. However, all is well between them and Lautner's wife (another Taylor) now. John Mayer: December 2009-February 2010 Image credits: Getty Images Swift's and Mayer's relationship is definitely one for the books, but possibly write it with a pencil. They only dated for a few months, but their breakup was a huge mess due to Mayer's reaction to Swift writing 'Dear John' for him. 'I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of cheap songwriting. I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not trying to sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!' That's bullshit,' Mayer said to Rolling Stone in 2012. Jake Gyllenhaal: October 2010-January 2011 Image credits: X We remember this relationship 'All Too Well'! US Weekly revealed the news of the two dating on a December 2010 cover; however, in January, it reported that Gyllenhaal broke up with Swift randomly. 'Jake just told her it wasn't working out.…Taylor is really upset and hurt. She doesn't know what she did for him to put a stop to it. She feels really burned by him,' a source told the magazine at the time. Connor Kennedy: July-October 2012 Image credits: Getty Images US Weekly also broke the news of this relationship after the couple was photographed together in Hyannisport. However, soon they split, which was "totally amicable and down to the distance between them," as per E! Harry Styles: November 2012-January 2013 Image credits: X Despite just dating for three months, the relationship between music's two much-loved maestros manages to create a whole lot of buzz online. In December 2012, the two went public while they were captured strolling around Central Park Zoo, but after a few months of dating and a vacation where Swift was seen sitting alone on a boat, the two broke up. While Swift did diss Harry's English accent at the 2013 Grammys, they reunited at the 2021 Grammys and broke the internet with their friendship. Calvin Harris: February 2015-May 2016 Image credits: Getty Images Swift and Harris met at the Elle Style Awards in February and went public at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in May. However, Harris ended things in a deeply messy breakup, even accusing Swift of cheating in some song lyrics. Tom Hiddleston : May-September 2016 Image credits: Getty Images This unlikely relationship began at the Met Gala, where T & T spent the night dancing with quite funky moves. In Kune, the Sun published pictures of them kissing in Rhode Island, and soon Hiddleston met Swift's parents in Nashville, attended Selena Gomez' concert. However, they broke up soon in September, with sources reporting Swift was worried Hiddleston wasn't with her for the right reasons. Joe Alwyn: May 2017- April 2023 Image credits: Getty Images Another relationship at the Met Gala, but this one tortured the poet in Swift to create some heart-wrenching songs. The couple was seen out officially at an Ed Sheeran concert in 2017, and in March 2018, she wore his initials around her neck. In April 2023, Entertainment Tonight reported that the duo had called it off as the "relationship had just run its course." Matty Healy: May-June 2023 Image credits: Getty Images Swift didn't heal from this one right away, and her relationship with Matty Healy came back into the limelight with his mother's recent interview shading the singer. While the two met in 2014 and started out as friends, they reconnected post Swift's breakup with Alwyn. However, after Healy said some questionable things about Swift's friend Ice Spice, they called it quits. Travis Kelce: July 2023-Right now Image credits: Getty Images Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to T! In July 2023, Swift brought her Eras Tour concert to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, ala Travis Kelce's office. The NFL player attended the show and even made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it for the Grammy winner. However, Swift noticed Kelce when he put her on his podcast and began hanging out with him. A couple of months later, they hard-launched their relationship at two Chiefs games in September 2023. And Swift is soon to make her big debut on her beau's podcast on August 14th.
