Rumors have been swirling about the status of Taylor Swift‘s romance with NFL star Travis Kelce recently.
The singer has been absent from Kelce’s recent games, leading to speculations that there may be trouble in paradise, but sources close to the couple are putting speculation to rest.
Taylor Swift’s absence from her boyfriend’s games comes after a fake “contract” made headlines, claiming that the pair would break up on September 28.
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Romance Is Going Strong
Despite the “Blank Space” hitmaker’s noticeable absence from Kelce’s last two NFL games, insiders have disclosed that the pop star remains committed to her beau.
Kansas City Chiefs fans have gotten used to seeing Swift supporting her boyfriend at his games. She attended his first two matches this year, which were both held in Kansas City, but has been a no-show in his recent performances.
According to TMZ, sources dismissed talks that the pair might no longer be together, especially as she’s set to return on tour in a couple of weeks.
It’s possible that rehearsals and preparation for her performances may be contributing to her absence from Kelce’s games.
However, Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have managed to keep an unbeaten run even with Swift’s absence, winning all four of their last four games.
The Super Bowl defending champions are scheduled to play their next game on October 7, so it remains to be seen if Swift will be in attendance.
Taylor Swift Is Allegedly Tired Of ‘Misogynistic’ Comments That She’s Responsible For Travis Kelce’s Performance
Meanwhile, a source recently told the Daily Mail that the real reason the “Bad Blood” singer has been absent from her boyfriend’s games is because she’s fed up with “misogynistic” reports that she’s responsible for his poor start to the season.
Kelce’s underwhelming performances in the opening games saw Swift come under fire. Critics said their relationship and partying during the offseason negatively impacted the tight end’s game.
“It’s absolutely absurd and misogynistic to speculate that Taylor’s attendance impacts Travis’ performance,” the source said. “He loves her support but doesn’t expect her at every single game, just as she would not expect him at every Eras tour date. And fans don’t make a fuss when he’s not at every gig.”
They continued, “They have their own lives and own careers, and both are at the top of their game. They can support each other without being physically present. TV exists after all.”
A Fake ‘Contract’ Claimed The Couple Would Breakup In September
Fans were previously left shocked after a “contract” that claimed Swift and Kelce would break up on September 28 went viral online.
According to the Daily Mail, the dubious document, which appeared to have been created by Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, which is in charge of Kelce’s PR, stated that the date was an end date of the couple’s relationship and a calculated effort to curtail any blowback on the football star’s image in its aftermath.
The document also showed that the firm had planned a PR campaign for Kelce, which included sending the announcement to major news outlets for “broad coverage,” adding that the announcement would be “gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect.”
Travis Kelce’s PR Team Distanced Themselves From The ‘Contract’
Kelce’s PR team dismissed the document, saying that it didn’t come from them and that they would pursue legal action against its perpetrators.
According to the Daily Mail, a spokesperson for Full Scope, who also represent celebrities like Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter and RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Sasha Colby, said that the document was “entirely false and fabricated and was not created, issued or authorized by this agency.”
“We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,” they added.
Kelce and Swift went public with their romance in September 2023 when she attended one of his games with the Chiefs. He has also attended several of her concert shows since they became an item.
Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift Were ‘Unfazed’ By The Contract
A source told the Daily Mail that Swift and Kelce were unbothered by the bogus contract and even found it funny.
“Taylor was unbothered and quite amused by this,” the source said. “She usually pays these things no mind at all, but this was some hilarious AI realness. It isn’t even worth an actual reaction from her or her team.”
The source continued, “She and Travis had a good laugh over it and his camp only got lawyers involved because it is his PR firm listed on the document.”
