Taylor Swift reveals romantic plans for Travis Kelce’s 'breakup date' amid AI contract scandal
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are turning a fake breakup scandal into a reason to celebrate. The couple is reportedly planning a special date night on September 28, the same day an AI-generated document falsely claimed they would break up.
The fabricated document, which suggested that Swift and Kelce’s relationship was merely a publicity stunt, has been dismissed as nonsense by Kelce's representative. Despite the absurdity of the situation, Swift is said to be amused and unfazed, finding the whole incident “hilarious.”
A source revealed to Daily Mail that Swift and Kelce found the situation to be a source of entertainment rather than concern. “She and Travis had a good laugh over it,” the source said. “His team only got lawyers involved because his PR firm was listed on the document.”
The couple’s date night on September 28 will coincide with the start of the NFL season and National Beer Drinking Day, making it an ideal time for a fun and memorable outing.
Swift and Kelce are reportedly planning something “super special” to mark the occasion and celebrate their relationship amidst the swirling rumors.
NFL features Taylor Swift in high-energy 2024 season hype video
The NFL’s hype video for the 2024 season has made waves by prominently featuring Taylor Swift alongside NFL stars like Aaron Rodgers and Bill Belichick. Swift, who appeared five times in the video, garnered more screen time than many of the league's top players, including quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott.
Swift’s involvement with the NFL intensified during the 2023 season, particularly with her high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Her appearances at Arrowhead Stadium and her growing presence in the NFL spotlight have been notable.
Former New York Giants offensive lineman Justin Pugh praised Swift’s impact, highlighting how her association with the NFL has been financially beneficial. "Taylor Swift brought new eyeballs and new apparel," Pugh said. "The more dollars that come into the funnel, the more that can go into our salary cap, come into our benefits, and provide for players. So, who wouldn’t want that?”
Swift's influence extended beyond financial gains. MarketWatch reported that her presence helped increase the NFL brand's value to $122 million in a few months and boosted viewership among the 12-17 demographic by 53%. Female viewership for Super Bowl LVIII also saw a 9% increase from the previous year.
