According to reports, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce laughed off the fake breakup contract that circulated online and included the false rumor that they intended to split on September 28.
A representative for Kelce has since debunked the document, which had his PR firm's letterhead on it, calling it entirely fabricated.
Insiders revealed that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are still going strong in their romance and plan to celebrate the fake "breakup" with something special on September 28.
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Reportedly Unfazed By Fake Breakup Contract
According to the Daily Mail, Swift and Kelce are planning something "super special" to mark their so-called "breakup" as a playful response to the bogus contract.
“Taylor was unbothered and quite amused by this,” a source told the news outlet. “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.”
They added: “After learning that their 'breakup date' is coming up so soon – September 28 – they now need to plan something super special and fun on that day to commemorate. Coincidentally, September 28 is around the first NFL game of the season and is also National Beer Drinking Day – so that makes a good date night for sure.”
Leaked Fake Breakup 'Contract' Detailed In Viral Post Revealed PR Strategy And Sample Statement
The viral post included what appeared to be official paperwork from Kelce's PR firm, Full Scope, detailing an alleged strategy to release a public statement three days after the "breakup" to allow time for the initial media frenzy to die down and ensure clarity.
The document suggested the announcement would be "gracious, respectful, and stress mutual respect."
It provided a sample statement: "Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other's personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time. They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best.”
The statement, intended for distribution to major media outlets through a press release to guarantee widespread coverage, would emphasize Kelce’s “personal growth,” portraying the breakup as a “natural part of life.”
PR Firm Denies Fake Breakup Contract, Vows To Take Legal Action Against Responsible Parties
On Tuesday night, a spokesperson for Full Scope firmly denied the authenticity of the documents, stating they were "entirely false, fabricated, and not created, issued, or authorized by this agency."
They noted: “We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents.”
Kelce is represented by Pia Malihi and Jack Ketosyan at the Los Angeles-based firm. According to the Daily Mail, Ketosyan has previously acknowledged his role in orchestrating "showmances"—staged relationships for publicity purposes.
In a 2019 appearance on the Australian podcast “Mamamia's The Quicky,” Ketosyan explained that these fabricated romances are often arranged when one party needs to promote a project or divert attention from negative publicity, such as a flop.
He stated, "It's to be able to sell the hype of it – whether a concert, album… or getting people to go to see the movie, it all about the hype at the moment.”
Taylor Swift Was Previously Accused Of A 'Showmance' With Tom Hiddleston
Swift was also previously accused of being in a “showmance” with British actor Tom Hiddleston in 2016, following her breakup with record producer Calvin Harris. Their much-publicized romance ended after about three months in September 2016.
The pop icon went on to date actor Joe Alwyn for six years, which remained mostly private with only a few public appearances before they called it quits in early 2023. Swift then briefly dated singer Matty Healy before beginning a relationship with Travis Kelce last summer.
Kelce frequently expressed his affection for Swift, who often joined his family in the stands to support the Chiefs, including during their Super Bowl win in February.
Earlier this week, Swift was revealed to be at the center of the NFL's promotional campaign for the upcoming season. Kelce has also traveled internationally to support Swift during her Eras Tour, most recently joining her on stage in London.
Travis Kelce Is 'Proud' Of His Relationship With Taylor Swift
In an appearance on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, Kelce opened up about dating one of the world's most famous singers, shedding light on their whirlwind romance.
Kelce expressed pride in his relationship with Taylor Swift and referred to her as his "lady," stating: "You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I'm not here to hide anything. That's my girl, that's my lady, and I'm proud of that."
He emphasized the difference between maintaining privacy and not shying away from their relationship.
"I'm not sitting here trying to juggle like, 'how can I keep this under wraps?'" Kelce said. "You just don't want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline."
