Travis Kelce’s legal team acts after fake contract detailing breakup date with Taylor Swift causes stir

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Travis Kelce's legal team has stepped in after a fake PR "contract" surfaced online, falsely claiming to detail the exact date of his supposed breakup with Taylor Swift.

The fabricated document, which appeared to be from the Los Angeles-based PR firm Full Scope, suggested that the high-profile relationship was nothing more than a staged affair, planned to end on September 28, 2024, as reported by The Daily Mail.

Travis Kelce's Lawyers take action

Kelce’s representatives have been quick to dismiss the document as entirely fictitious, denying any plans for a breakup.

The fake "strategy" outlined in the document included a scripted statement that would have been released three days after the supposed split, emphasizing a respectful and mutual decision to part ways. The fake paperwork detailed plans to release an official statement framing the split as a natural progression in their lives, focusing on Kelce's personal growth and career.

The announcement will be 'gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect.'

Travis Kelce’s PR firm denies involvement

Full Scope, the PR firm implicated in the forgery, has vehemently denied any connection to the fraudulent document. The firm's spokesperson stated that the paperwork was "entirely false and fabricated," and confirmed that they have engaged legal counsel to pursue those responsible for the forgery.

Despite the response, it remains unclear who is behind the creation and distribution of the fake document. Taylor Swift’s representatives are yet to comment on the situation, while Kelce’s team is determined to protect their client’s reputation from further damage.

Travis Kelce's publicist linked to past showmance scandals

Interestingly, Kelce's publicist, Jack Ketsoyan, has previously admitted to orchestrating “showmances” in Hollywood—staged relationships designed to generate publicity for celebrities.

In a 2019 podcast, Ketsoyan revealed that such arrangements are often used to boost the profile of a celebrity or to divert attention from less favorable news. This history has fueled further speculation about the authenticity of Kelce’s relationship with Swift, though both parties have consistently presented their romance as genuine.

At the time, he remarked, "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." He added that the biggest hint would be if a well-known male celebrity started dating someone less famous, and suddenly, they became the center of everyone's attention.

The controversy surrounding Kelce and Swift’s relationship has stirred comparisons to previous high-profile romances, such as Swift's brief 2016 relationship with Tom Hiddleston.

Accusations of a "showmance" were leveled against the couple at the time, suggesting their relationship was a strategic move to divert attention from Swift’s breakup with Calvin Harris.

Hiddleston and Swift’s romance lasted about three months before ending in September 2016.

In contrast, Kelce and Swift’s relationship was publicly confirmed on September 24 of last year. Swift attended a Kansas City Chiefs game at Kelce’s invitation, where she was seen in the stands with his family, marking a significant moment in their public relationship.

This appearance was followed by their first joint video, further fueling public interest and media speculation about the authenticity of their romance.

Travis Kelce’s legal action over fake PR document sparks online debate

The fake document, which claimed to outline a planned breakup between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, has led to a flurry of reactions from fans and critics alike on Daily Mail.

One user commented, "Well if it is true then it won't be happening now. They will have to give it a few months, then claim that the upheaval from all the press regarding the document has made it so they can no longer be together."

Another user added, "It makes sense. Lots of her relationships seem very short lived to result in such comprehensive introspection. Red based on a short lived dating experience with Jake Gyllenhaal. 1989 based on an even shorter relationship with Harry Styles. And TDPS based on Matty Healy, which could hardly be called a romance at all. And none of these men ever make negative comments about their experiences. So perhaps they really are part of a cynical marketing scheme, whereby they get a payment or share of the profits, if they agree to go along with it?"

Another added, "Whether this "contract" is real or fake doesn't matter - but there is no doubt that both of them are benefiting from the publicity generated by their very high profile "romance" carried out across the world as the Eras tour moves between continents. Would anyone be surprised if it turned out to be all fake?"

"I don't follow TS but didn't she keep her previous relationships rather private until she wrote her breakup songs. And this one is all about PDAs and many "private" details exposed in the press," a user said.

Another commented, "Everything about her is scripted including that ‘relatable’ country girl persona etc. Just another money making manufactured pop star with very good PR team. Everything is done on purpose in showbiz, even the feud with Kayne was scripted to elevate her fame when she wasn’t well known." 

Finally, a user said, "There used to be amazing talented musicians and bands in the 1960s and 1970s. Now it is just a handful of choreographed entertainers in skimpy outfits."
