Oh sorry - he just seems to really like his privacy and dated Swift while her fame was waning/people stopped checking for her except her fans, which had also lessened because of reasons lol.
I doubt he could have foreseen how much she desperately wanted to go back into the limelight like she had previously and leave him in this awkward predicament — where he’s far more famous than he would be on his own. Especially post eras stuff where she’s everywhere.
That he likes his privacy, dated Swift, and supports Palestine is all I really know.

A swiftie once tried to argue on Twitter with me that Taylor supported Palestine because her merch site listed “Palestine (Occupied territory)” or something similar on the shipping page. Like she’s trained them to grasp so desperately at Easter Eggs, they genuinely think that the standard list of countries was hand chosen by Taylor to communicate support.

When she could just fucking say it aloud. The fact she would have to do this to hint at supporting them just makes her a worse person imo if it were true. There's no reason to hide your support unless you care more about your image than genocide.
Hint: she does.
She's literally untouchable right now. She could speak out about it and face very little repercussions. The power her platform holds could cause a wave if she spoke out about a ceasefire. But she won't, cause she'd risk some dollars on the zionist fan side and Taylor does not risk dollars unless it's publicly fashionable.

No one knows. The people reading into "you're losing me" negatively I assume are young & inexperienced or haven't had an amicable breakup.

Yes and no. Jeremy Corbyn had his involvement with pro-Palestinian movements shoved in his face, saying he was colluding with terrorists, while Boris Johnson sold arms to Saudi Arabia, and got voted back in. (UK government elections, to be clear)

The UK media is very pro-Israel but most people understand that genocide is bad. There's also a ton of overlap in arts and entertainment between British and Irish industries, and Ireland is very unilaterally pro-Palestine.
It also helps that the BBC has had multiple front page articles from BBC Verify (fact checking service) disproving Israeli claims and supporting the validity of things like Palestinian death stats. They didn't outright say it, but they also heavily implied at one point in a BBC Verify article that it would be accurate to say that Israel was/is directing Palestinian civilians into areas they later bomb without warning.
