I can't imagine caring what some celebrity does with their life, especially to the point of performatively holding up a sign like that in public.

i'm guessing AI image based on her fingers and some other odd elements like the wonky shelving. Could be an AI template with shopped text too.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I thinl this is just a template with the woman holding blank cardboard. The fingers can make sense if you zoom in. Also the guy in the front and the reflections in the mirrors look to real.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 5 points 1 week ago

I agree, the text looks more like a drawing tablet/touchscreen handwriting than actual marker on cardboard to me. It doesn't seem to be affected by the creases in the cardboard and the lines are much thicker for "Taylor" which doesn't make sense if it's all the same marker.

The fingers can make sense if you zoom in.

That's SUCH a bizarre sentence out of context! I love it! 😄

I feel like it must have been a meme at some point - I seem to remember there was a version that Uniqlo had tried to use as a under the radar advertisement

maybe your app renders them better but this is what i get when i zoom and those 9 pixels look wrong to me!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks like she is holding it something like this if you can imagine.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I did the same test after seeing the comment! Hands are weird!

Nah it's not AI. The UPS sign is perfect. His eyes are matching the sign perfectly. Text all matches. Her fingers probably just got tired. I can see 3 distinct ones and her thumb.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Hold up a flat object like that, it does look weird but hands can be weird. I imitated it pretty easily with a book when I saw your comment

How do you know that this is about a celebrity? "Taylor" is an extremely common name.

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My name is Taylor. She was talking to me.

I was in the process, but we tore it up in a fit of passion like George Clooney in Intolerable Cruelty.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would not worry about that. Her legal team has already stuck it to the entire music label industry. They already got that covered for her and made bank doing so (lawyers that good aint cheap).

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd bet the reason it took them a year to get engaged is half because it took all the lawyers that long to negotiate the terms.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago

Modern day romance.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're are probably more layers working on this than the average corporate merger. People this wealthy don't live lives that you'd recognize.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I learned this from Swordfish.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 21 points 1 week ago

Somehow I don't think that one of the world's richest women needs financial advice.

[–] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Imagine caring this much

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Literally couldn't care less about celebrities and their marriages.

Need a place to dump this sort of drivel so it doesn't clog up the feed....

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I must be doing social media right since I don't know who this is about

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not social media, but try typing "Taylor" into multiple search providers and evaluating the top 3 results from each, then make an educated guess

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

take pride in that density

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How the hell does everyone in this thread know who this is supposed to be talking about? I am so confused.

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

taylor swift is pretty big in pop culture so. the mainstream media shoved taylor swift and legally braindead travis kelce football man down our throat for months.

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

yes, but it’d be a lot cooler if she gave away half of her money before they got married.

[–] Pupscent@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

I've had two. My second partner said 'we're going to be one of those couples eh?' I said yes. Now they understand and know it was the right decision.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Totally get that there are no better signs to be holding up in public in america nowadays /s

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Based on the Canadian tuxedo she's wearing, this may be north of the border.

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago

Especially as a person of color. They're passing laws so ICE can arrest based on apparent ethnicity
