"Again, the public wants an interest or experience to rally behind and create this collective experience. We want to bond over our love and admiration for them, or the opposite. Even further, the convergence of the Swift and Travis's families further parallels that of the Royals," Torossian continues. "For starters, you have Travis's brother Jason, who is a public figure and comes with his own fan base, and his wife, whose tabloids and headlines have seemingly already tried to pit against Taylor ahead of their initial meeting."
It's true. Tabloids have tried to pit Swift against Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce. While there's obvious tension within Britain’s royal family, there's really nothing to see here with Swift and the Kelces. ("They all got along great last weekend," one source assures Yahoo Entertainment.)
Still, the "parallels are easy to make" with the royals, Torossian explains. He adds of royal comparisons: “The way this has all played out, you couldn't write it better if you tried, and because of that, people can't help but give it attention
King notes that celebrity culture in the U.S. "has always had a degree of alignment with the British royal family." Beyoncé and Jay-Z have had similar comparisons. So did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie when they were together.
"During her most recent appearance at the AFC Division round playoff game, a broadcaster quite literally referred to her as the 'MVP of Chiefs Kingdom, the most valuable princess,'" King adds. "The way this has all played out, you couldn't write it better if you tried, and because of that, people can't help but give it attention."
