A relationship expert has claimed that Taylor Swift meeting her boyfriends’ mums so early in her romances is a desperate attempt for her to get ‘validation’ – but warned it could ‘force intimacy prematurely’ and lead to a break-up .
The 33-year-old singer was spotted at the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday with her new love interest, Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce.
The two sat side by side in a VIP suite as they cheered on Travis together – just weeks after rumors swirled that they and the football star were dating.
Many took the hitmaker’s hook-up session with Travis’ mom as a sign that the two were serious, but it turns out this is something Taylor has done countless times in her previous romances, many of which ended soon after.

It turns out this is something Taylor has done numerous times in her previous romances, many of which fizzled out shortly afterward. She was seen with Tom Hiddleston and his mother in June 2016
And according to dating coach and host of the Do the Work podcast, Sabrina Zohar, rushing to meet your partner’s parents is a major “red flag.”
“Honestly, for me, it’s a red flag to meet the parents early on,” she told DailyMail.com exclusively.
“Meeting one’s family prematurely forces intimacy early on and often forces validation from the family.
‘Depending on the receptiveness of the partner, it can also be a means of control to speed up the phases.
“While I understand her wanting to meet the family and build a deeper relationship, you can’t accelerate the stages of a relationship faster than they naturally progress.”
Another relationship expert, Megan Weks, explained that this could be a sign that Taylor has an “anxious attachment style.”
She theorized that the pop sensation wants to move fast because she’s “afraid of being abandoned.”
“Securing family relationships early may be a pattern she uses to keep others close,” she said.

“If you get attached easily and early, it could be a sign that you have an anxious attachment style.”
“People with an anxious attachment style cling to others because they fear being abandoned.”
Megan pointed out that Taylor has been open in the past about being bullied when she was in high school — which she said could have led to her having a low “sense of self.”
“The bullying Taylor experienced could have left a lasting mark on her self-esteem and personal worth, helping her hold on tight in early relationships,” she continued.
“Even superstars can’t erase the beliefs in our brains from an early age.”
Over the years, Taylor was repeatedly spotted at her boyfriend’s parents’ house shortly after they met.
