Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Relationship
Earlier this year, Travis Kelce made headlines about his desire to win Swift’s heart. He showed up to her tour, with friendship bracelets and intentions of a romance and worked his way through getting her attention. Soon after, viewership of NFL football games skyrocketed because Taylor Swift just joined the crowd to cheer on Travis Kelce with his mom. Swift and Kelce exchanged a few heart-fluttering exchanges at the game and later on the two drove away in his convertible for a sweet dinner that Swift apparently paid a fortune for.
For their first public outing, the couple were seen holding hands and walking around after featuring in an SNL skit. Fans couldn’t get enough of Taylor’s loving glances at the NFL player and all the packed PDA they blessed the paparazzi with. For a second time, they were seen out and about on a date in NYC, holding hands and having a great time.
Fans are obsessed over the new couple, many even predicting this to be Taylor’s endgame relationship. But could there be something more behind the curtains? Is it really a romance on the verge of something wonderful or just another PR move for both the celebs involved? Well, take a seat and dive in.

There’s a whole web of conspiracy theories surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship – many of these pointing in an arrowhead that it might be a publicity stunt,
To begin with, many allegedly believe that Taylor- who is a die-hard Eagles fan suddenly started dating a player from Chiefs- the opponent team and Eagles fans even conspired that she is just planted around a Chiefs player to bring down the team or weaken them.
In a sports report, Mike Freeman writes, “We know that the Swift/Kelce romance is fake… This is the fakest moment in American history. Not since the moon landing has anything been so fake. It’s not simply that Swift and Kelce are a distraction. It’s that sometimes we desperately need one.”
Secondly, the amount of publicity that Kelce has gotten since the relationship news is huge. NFL viewership increased ever since Swift showed up at the games, Kelce’s jersey sales skyrocketed and he takes up every opportunity he gets to talk about Taylor.
i wanna call it now that i think travis dating taylor is a PR stunt for more press in football and when they break up it will bring more attention bc it’s literally swifties vs. football fans like that’s the perfect combination for press and media attention

As seen in her past relationships, and quite notably her last relationship with Joe Alwyn, Swift is known to keep her relationship affairs private. The amount of coverage this relationship is getting leads fans to believe in the possibility of it being a PR stunt.
🚨 SO. MUCH. PR!! 💩 Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour movie. Donna Kelce and Kind Bars. Travis and accelerating his star power since he’s already signed to a talent agency. Now I just found that Taylor’s promoting the random tequila brand that Travis partners with and invests in! pic.twitter.com/AUspl4EV85

Well, it’s highly likely that it might be a serious romantic endeavor. Or it might be a tactic to get two of the biggest fandoms to come together and celebrate them. Or it might be a way to promote Kelce’s career more. Only time will tell where this relationship is going. Maybe it’ll go on to become Taylor’s ultimate endgame, or it’ll lead to a new playlist of breakup songs. Either way, we win.
