Having hope in your heart is all well and good, but you also need to know when to give up. At a certain point it’s time to accept cold, hard reality: we’re never going to see pictures of Taylor Swift in her wedding dress, are we?
*shrugs*
There are many reasons this matters...
There's none, actually.
...and the first, admittedly, is plain old nosiness, with a side order of entitlement.
Those are reasons, yes, but none of them matter.
Obviously she is allowed to keep her wedding private, but being denied a glimpse of the dress feels – insert foot stamp here – unfair.
Are you an adult woman? or a 15 year old girl?
Seeing Swift in her wedding dress would have divulged more about the human being underneath than her most undefended lyric, exposed truths that carefully crafted interview replies have distracted from so far. Seems like the oversharing era was her maiden game.

Makes sense, even the 'Guardian' hasn't sunk so low as to enploy someone to write like this full time!

You re being too kind to the odious rag Julia. Their staff room is full of people who write like that!
Personally, can't see the worldwide adoration of Mrs Kelce. There's a video out somewhere, showing her performing early in her career. Wearing what looked like a gingham dress, this pretty young lady had a melodic voice. Nothing special, and certainly not in the Linda Rinehart field. Her shows are said to be amazing but is that the result of over production? I have no idea, but if I want to listen to songs by female singers, Mrs Kelce will be a fair way down the list. As Frank Sinatra once advised a young singer looking for motivation in his act, "Just sing the song".

Taylor Swift writes a lot of her own material and seems to have a tremendous work ethic. Oddly I've never understood the attraction of Frank Sinatra.

"Linda Rinehart" ? Is that a dodgy auto-correct for Linda Ronstadt?
Likewise. Ol' Blue Eyes nauseated me, and kept very bad company. A particularly hot part of Hell* is reserved for Paul Anka, for the crime of writing 'My Way'.
* Adjacent to that of Adolph Sax, for another unforgivable musical crime.
I believe that Paul Anka translated My Way from a version in French, I don't know whether he wrote the melody. David Bowie contributed a version too and was apparently miffed that Anka's version was picked because he was better known at the time. Bowie reworked his version into what eventually became Life On Mars. Rick Wakeman did the piano arrangement.

Oh dear, autocorrect has a lot to answer for. I did, indeed, wish to refer to Linda Ronstadt who, sadly is no longer able to perform due to illness. As far as Taylor Swift's work ethic is concerned, will accept what people say, but Shirley, quality over quantity should play a role here?
