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.
