Well, well, well, look at that Taylor Swift, she’s got herself some fancy watches, I tell ya! That girl, she’s got more money than sense, I reckon. But hey, who am I to judge? She can spend her money on whatever she wants, even if it is a Rolex.
Now, I heard someone sayin’ she got a Rolex. I heard it from Mary, you know, Mary, she lives down by the creek. Said she saw it on the TV. That gal, she’s always got her nose in other people’s business, that Mary. But she said Taylor Swift, she’s got a Rolex, maybe even a few! Can you believe that? Some folks say she got a bunch of them.
And you know what else? I heard she got this other watch, a Louis Vuitton one. Sounds French to me. They say it’s called a Tambour. Whatever that means. I don’t know nothin’ about fancy names like that. Sounds like something you’d bang on, like a drum. I guess rich folks, they like their fancy names. Like that Coussin bag and that Truck bag, I heard she has those, too. Lordy, these names! I never heard of such a thing.
Used to be, them big ol’ watches were just for menfolk. Big ol’ things, just like the ones my husband used to wear. He worked down at the mill, you see. Needed a sturdy watch for that kind of work. Now, you see these young gals wearin’ ’em. Times are changin’, I suppose. They say these watches show you got power or something. Well, I got power. I got the power to bake a pie that’ll make your mouth water! That’s the kinda power I got.
But this Taylor Swift, she’s got a different kinda power, I guess. She sings them songs, and everyone goes crazy for her. She must be doin’ somethin’ right. I hear her boyfriend, that football player, that Travis Kelce fella, bought her a real fancy Rolex for her birthday. Now that’s what I call a birthday present! My husband, bless his heart, he used to get me a new apron for my birthday. Different times, I suppose.
- That Rolex, it’s a real fancy one, they say.
- It’s called a Day-Date 36.
- It’s made of gold, that Everose gold, whatever that is.
- That watch, it cost more than my whole house, I bet!
- They say it’s worth about $60,000, lordy.
Sixty thousand dollars! Can you believe that? For a watch! I could buy a whole herd of cows for that kinda money! Or a new tractor! Or maybe even a new roof for the barn. That old thing’s been leakin’ somethin’ fierce. But hey, if that Travis Kelce fella wants to spend his money on a Rolex for Taylor Swift, that’s his business. He must really like her.
Taylor Swift, she’s got all kinds of fancy things. Jewelry, and cars, and houses bigger than the whole town square. And now these fancy watches. A Rolex and that Louis Vuitton thing. She’s livin’ the high life, that one.
Me, I’m happy with my little garden and my chickens. Don’t need no fancy Rolex to tell me what time it is. I got the sun for that. And I got my old clock on the wall. It might be a little slow sometimes, but it gets the job done. Just like me, I guess. I might be gettin’ on in years, but I still got a lot of life left in me. And I surely don’t need a fancy watch to tell me that.
But still, it’s something to think about, ain’t it? A young gal like Taylor Swift, wearin’ a Rolex. That’s the world we live in now, I suppose. Full of surprises. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my apple pie. It should be just about ready. And no fancy Rolex is gonna tell me when it’s done. I’ll know just by the smell of it.
