TAYLOR SWIFT: With her record-breaking success and UNPARALLELED fan base, you won’t have to go far to hear Taylor Swift described as the Queen of Pop. How far has she come? Let’s find out
As the biggest superstar in the world, every girl wants what Taylor Swift has – including the same type of partner.
Generation Z females have taken to social media to say they want a strong rugged ‘protector’, just like Swift’s bulky American footballer boyfriend, Travis Kelce, rather than a skinny, fashionable type.
TikTok, the video-sharing platform favoured by teenagers, has been flooded with girls explaining they are ‘joining the trend’ of choosing ‘strong’ men like Kelce.
Dubbed ‘America’s golden couple’, Ms Swift, 34, and the Kansas City Chiefs player, also 34, have been dating since September, with their romance very much in the public eye.
One TikToker said in a video liked 6,000 times: ‘We’re now in an era where Gen Zs, who used to like skinny guys, are now gravitating towards men that can protect them. Taylor Swift was a big part of this trend by dating Travis Kelce.’
Harry Styles and Timothee Chalamet – previously swooned over for their baby faces and wafer-thin physiques – were noted as the type of men Gen Zs are now shunning.
A video explaining the shift said: ‘Men throughout history were the warriors, the defenders, the cavemen. They hunted and fought but now they don’t really have the chance to do that.
‘This is in our primal instinct – males will fight against other males and they’re more attractive to females if they win.

But people on the platform now believe that ‘twinks’ are gaining weight to become more attractive to women.
A picture of Chalamet, 28, which users of the platform claim shows he has put on weight and can no longer be considered a ‘twink’, has gone viral.
