OMG! She's dating someone!!!

And he’s a professional NFL athlete for some sport! This is so exciting!!! I’m not sure what “NFL” stands for but after hearing about this, I immediately went online and bought one of those big sports shirts with the number on the back. I’m going to wear this to the next Eras Tour stop and she’ll look right at me! I’m freaking out over this! I’d say this guy is like a top 3 boyfriend since the Reputation Era, or maybe top 5 since 1989. I really didn’t like that last guy, the singer. Some of the things he said upset me and he just wasn’t good for her. I bought his band’s last album on vinyl, and when the Amazon box came in the mail, I just threw it right in the trash—didn’t even open it. And there may be further repercussions for him in the future for what he did. I don’t know, would you rank the sports guy above or below that one non-famous guy? I mean, that guy was OK but there were a few things I didn’t really approve of. I know they’re never ever getting back together. I know this latest guy is better than that actor with the long face—no, not that one, the other one. He treated her so badly that I boycotted everything he acted in and spent a few days slowly circling his mansion in my Kia. Even he’s better than that one musician she dated. I curse his name for what he did to her. But I know happy days are ahead now! I can’t wait to wear my sports shirt to the concert. It’s red so I’m going to whip it around my head everytime she sings something from Red! Oh my God, I’m freaking out! You guys!!!
