With the success of her recent Eras Tour and the release of her new film, there’s no denying that Taylor Swift has a passionate fan base. This mega pop star had 72,000 audience members sing with her at each concert, raking in $13 million in ticket sales per show.

In addition, the film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” grossed $93 million domestically in its opening weekend at the box office and $31 million abroad

However, a former classmate of the singer revealed that most of the students who went to high school with her were not fans of Swift before she got her big break

Taylor Swift’s former classmate says ‘most people hated her’ at their school.
In a TikTok video, Jessica McLane, who grew up in the same town as Swift and attended high school with her, claims that most of her classmates believed Swift’s songs were petty.

McLane reveals that although she was classmates with Swift, she doesn’t know much about the singer or her music, especially growing up.

“I was a church kid, I didn’t really listen to Taylor Swift, kinda just got into Taylor Swift, so give me some grace,” she says.

In 2006, McLane was a freshman in high school and Swift was a junior. Her hit song “Teardrops on my Guitar” was released that summer. “Obviously [Swift] got really big, and that’s the year that she left school and was homeschooled,” McLane says.

However, after the song’s release and Swift’s departure from public school, her classmates did not take a liking to her.

“Something you need to know about Henderson High School, when she first started becoming super successful, most people hated her,” McLane shares.

“Keep in mind, these are her peers, these aren’t just some random people on the Internet.”

“She’s literally, 16 or 17 leaving school to pursue a career that people are telling her that she could never have.”

Classmates allegedly didn’t like how Taylor Swift sang about her exes.
A significant reason Swift’s classmates didn’t like her was that her lyrics were petty and portrayed those she dated that attended high school with her in a negative light.

“The guys she was writing songs about, they were still in school. And now they have a hit song about them talking about what a s—ty boyfriend they are,” McLane says.

“There are a lot of rumors going around about how she got her start in the first place … the fact remains is that there were not a lot of people in high school who had nice things to say about her.”

McLane reveals that in 2009 when she was a senior in high school, her class was invited by Swift to the 2009 CMA Awards, where she was performing her song “Fifteen.”

“We were all really excited, who gets invited by Taylor Swift to the CMAs? That’s really cool,” McLane says. However, she believed it was “very random” of Swift to invite her class, given most of her classmates disliked her.

She points out that 2009 is the year that Swift “killed the game” and was the recipient of numerous music awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Music Video of the Year. “Her performance was incredible,” McLane says.

It was only this year when Swift announced that she was releasing her album “Midnights” on Kim Kardashian’s birthday — with whom she has feuded before — that McLane said she realized that there was a petty side to the singer and that everything she did was intentional.

“She invited us to the CMAs to say [explative] you,” McLane shares. “And we deserved it.”

“So to Taylor, touche, that was a good one.”

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Shares Good News on New Podcast

Travis and Jason Kelce are enjoying some well deserved time-off after a grueling NFL season, but they will return to podcasting duties sooner than you might expect.

Jason Kelce’s Philadelphia Eagles made it to a wild card play-off only to lose the game, while younger brother Travis won his second Super Bowl in a row and his third with the Chiefs.

Not only did they play an intense season of football, but their family was thrown into the global spotlight thanks to Travis’ new relationship with Taylor Swift.

But even before he went public with Swift in September, Travis co-hosted a popular podcast with Jason called New Heights.

The weekly show sees the brothers come together to chat about life, the game they love and big moments from their respective weeks.

Released every Wednesday during the football season, but sporadically in the off-season, there was a big update from this show this week.

“no new episode tomorrow…but our weekly episodes return NEXT WEDNESDAY,” the official New Heights social media accounts posted on Tuesday.
