<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift’s engagement post has generated an exhausting amount of press, and yet, many media outlets do not seem to be talking about the fact that it seems like a blatant advertisement (allegedly). <\/p>\n

Taylor and Travis wore matching Ralph Lauren outfits — he in a polo shirt and shorts, she in a linen dress that has now sold out. Conveniently, numerous media outlets published puff pieces — advertising tie-ins? — about her dress. Most notable is The New York Times<\/a> itself, which featured the header, “The Ralph Lauren Look of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s Engagement Photos.”<\/b><\/p>\n

This type of article is called an advertorial: advertising that is meant to look like an editorial. It allows the publication to feature its advertising partners in a sort of soft ad disguised as journalistic content. <\/p>\n


The actual proposal took place about two weeks ago. Also two weeks ago, Taylor appeared on Jason Kelce’s podcast with Travis. Clearly visible in the background is a biography of Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren: In His Own Fashion<\/i>. Not a single brand mention, Easter egg, or reference is ever accidental with this woman. <\/p>\n

If you were still on the fence, oh, look: several media outlets also published advertiser-friendly pieces about the books featured on Taylor’s bookshelf:<\/p>\n

So…her wedding dress will almost certainly be Ralph Lauren, no?

FYI, if you are a real journalist who happens to be reading ONTD, please steal this topic idea and write about it!!!<\/b> I feel like I am going crazy because nobody will talk about this!<\/p>\n

source<\/a>, source<\/a>, plus me being sick of stealth celebrity product placement.<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
