TRAVIS KELCE LAUNCHES AMERICAN EAGLE COLLECTION AFTER TAYLOR SWIFT ENGAGEMENT:
Kelce said he kept the collection a secret “for nearly a year. It was an awesome opportunity to team up with an established brand where both sides were excited to truly collaborate on every decision in the design and creative process.”
The line represents more than 90 pieces priced between $14.95 and $179.95, and were made to “evoke Travis’ unique style, delivering an elevated take on everyday essentials and transforming classic silhouettes into bold statements of confidence and individuality.” Cricket sweaters, rugby polos and utility cargo pants are on the menu.
The campaign is the first new American Eagle spot to run after this summer’s brouhaha over “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” Launched a month ago with the star of “Euphoria” and “Anyone But You,” the ad touted Sweeney’s genetic blessings. Some took the message as the company praising Sweeney’s specific looks as desirable over others. KQ
American Eagle defended their vision, saying the ad “is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.”
A decade ago, the DNC-MSM gave Kelce’s fiancée the same Bletchley Park-level decoding effort that Sweeney received at the beginning of this month:
● Can’t Shake It Off: How Taylor Swift Became a Nazi Idol.
—Vice.com, May 23rd, 2016.
● White Supremacists Call Taylor Swift An Aryan Goddess.
—NPR, May 27, 2016.
● Neo-Nazis Are Really Into Taylor Swift.
—KQED, May 25th, 2016.
Dominic Green had fun deflating that weird obsession of the legacy media in 2018: Taylor Swift, Nazi Barbie? “Really, the only Nazi Barbie was Klaus Barbie, a model long out of production. Pop’s echoes of fascist propaganda testify not to pop’s pretend radicalism, but to its merciless commercialism.”
I’m so old, I can remember when Freddie Mercury received the same treatment in the 1970s from Rolling Stone:
Whatever its claims, Queen isn’t here just to entertain. This group has come to make it clear exactly who is superior and who is inferior. Its anthem, “We Will Rock You,” is a marching order: you will not rock us, we will rock you. Indeed, Queen may be the first truly fascist rock band.
Well yeah, that’s how it works; I kind of assumed that when I paid my money to see Queen at the Philadelphia Spectrum a few years later, they would indeed be rocking me, along with the 17,000 other people in the stands.
