>>682 Sosorry, there was no narrative to take back though, I don't think TS was ever going to say anything about it. Not only there's no point in attacking someone like TH out of the blue, but Tayto, 7 months later, is only an issue for TH, for obvious reasons.

Better to stay quiet or limit himself to a short comment, this interview instead gives reason to journalists to ask her about it and she has the chance to walk away as the classy one, because unless I'm mistaken, he is not so subtly shading her.

First he says
“Taylor is an amazing woman,” “She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time.” But the article tells us it was the memorized PR answer.

Second he says
So that’s his statement on the entire relationship: an explanation of the tank top. “It was a joke,” he repeats. “Among friends.” Which sounds a lot like saying the entire relationship was a joke.

Third he says
none of this has anything to do with the person he fell in love with. “I only know the woman I met. She’s incredible.” But, man, all those cameras. “A relationship in the limelight… A relationship always takes work. A relationship in the limelight takes work. And it’s not just the limelight. It’s everything else.” He wanted a regular relationship. So did she, he says she said. “So we decided to go out for dinner, we decided to travel.” Translated it means he fell in love with the persona that was presented to him and that persona had nothing to do with personalized tanktop, or hearts draw on your biceps, or a feud with Kayne. Then he says that the limelights and everything else made it difficult, he doesn't specify what everything else is, but he is blaming it on her here and later when he says He wanted a regular relationship, she said she wanted it too. This is top class shading.

Fourth he says that after the breakup, they didn't leave him alone to the point his friends had to support him, famous names mentioned to support his version of the story.

Last come the pestering of the journalist to tell us she was the one who broke up and that he is still heartbroken but not about the end of their relationship, but about misplaced and unrequited love. We talk about what it’s like to love and what happens when the object of that love withdraws but all your love is still there.

All TS needs to do, if asked, is using his own words against him. Something like "TH is so passionate and earnest, you know, and I went with the flow, you know, he wanted us to go to Rome, you know, because he studied classics, you know, and I told him I only ever visited London, you know, so he proposed to visit his mother in Suffolk, you know, but in the end it was nice but we wanted different things, you know, it was mutual".

And where does this interview leave him? To square one.
