The Daily Mail Is Reporting That Travis Kelce's Lawyers Got Involved To Shut Down A Fake Contract That Was "Leaked" Reportedly Outlining A Planned Breakup For Him and Taylor Swift

DailyMail - When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce confirmed they were dating, the singer's fans were convinced she had found The One.

In fact, it's a love story that could actually be a Hollywood movie – the pop star and the sports man who fell in love as the world watched. But tonight Mr Kelce's representatives were forced to deny that they have plans to split later this month after a document written on the headed paper of his US PR company was spread online. 

The paperwork which appears to have been created by Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, reveals a strategy to make their split, and says the date for an announcement is September 28. It also outlines a supposed plan to release an official statement at the end of this month – three days 'post-break up' to 'allow the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity'.

It adds that the announcement will be 'gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect. Laying out what the statement would say, they write: 'Example: 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.

Forgive me for being OCD or whatever it is here nitpicking, but I need to throw a big red flag here on this one Daily Mail.

Taylor Swift's fans most definitely were not "convinced she had found the one." 

They were convinced she was acting out, rebounding from her breakup with Matty Healy by "rebounding with the jock". They thought she was "going through a phase", and slumming it up with the guy from Cleveland. If you don't recall, you can search these exact Barstool SPORTS pages for our very own Kelly's blogs assuring us this fling would never last. That's if Nate hasn't already done his buddy Kelly a favor and taken those blogs down by now. 

Back to this story though. 

They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best.'

The paperwork also states that the announcement would focus on Mr Kelce's 'personal growth' by framing the breakup as a 'natural part of life.' It also will highlight his commitment to his career and his ongoing achievements in the sports industry.'

They also plan to send it to major media outlets with a press release to ensure ‘broad coverage.’

However, tonight a spokesman for Full Scope insisted that they were 'entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorised by this agency’.

The representative also said they have called in lawyers - though they are not expected to find the culprit.

'We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,' they said.

So this thing "broke" late yesterday afternoon on good old Reddit. And it has since been deleted. 

At first I was thinking "why would they need to bring legal into it if it's just some dumb faked post on reddit?" But upon reading it, and all the fans on social media pointing out why this thing has to be fake- it's in chatgpt format, it mentions a website that doesn't exist, and the grammar is that of a 4th grader or Barstool Sports blogger. There's no way that could come from the desk of a hot-shot Los Angeles based PR Firm. 

So I'm going with this thing is fake as fuck. 

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if I was, I would be asking the question- who faked this contract? And why?

Since I have you here, and since we're on the subject of Travis and Taylor, let's talk about just how absolutely fucked Travis Kelce is shall we?

Think about a past (or current) relationship you were in, that just brutally overstayed its welcome. You knew it was over eons ago. You knew that she knew that you knew it was over eons ago. But neither one of you had the balls to either put the thing out of its misery, or be the fall guy. Some people call it being "pot-committed". For whatever reason, family, kids, finances, joint lease, whatever, it went on far too long but you felt stuck. Like you couldn't leave. 

Well take that and multiply it by infinity. That's Travis Kelce if he, or should he, ever get tired of this thing with Taylor Swift, and even contemplates breaking up with her. 

Think about it. Right now, this guy is America's sweetheart. Dating, America's Sweetheart. 

Like a knight in shining armor he swooped in when she was at her lowest, fresh off back-to-back breakups. He's the big loveable meathead who everybody can relate to. We all know a guy that reminds us of Travis Kelce. No, I'm not talking about the old Travis. That would be the white guy we all knew who always went to black barbershops, had massive subwoofers in his car trunk, always wore athletic shorts, even in the snow, and had more athletic talent in their pinky than you had in your entire body. 

No, I'm talking about the new Travis. The one who had to hire a hot-shot PR Firm to the stars out in LA. The guy who went from being on 15 different commercials an ad break, to signing a $100 million dollar podcast deal with his brother and commanding endorsement rates so high now that the only companies who can afford them are the ones in bed with the government like Pfizer. 

The new guy is a household name now. He's arguably neck and neck with his teammate QB now as a face of the entire NFL. He's on magazine covers at least once a week. And not the sports ones. The ones your girlfriend and mom read. In fact, there's a high probability that your mom and your girlfriend could recite his stats back to you better than some of the clowns in your fantasy football leagues. 

This guy is trapped like a fish in a barrel. 

No matter how unhappy he is or could eventually be, it doesn't matter. He is never getting out of this relationship. 

Literally never. Ever.

He might as well hurry up and propose because he is stuck with Taylor for-ev-er.

He would go from being the cock of the walk like he is now to being public enemy #1 overnight. Imagine knowing that millions and millions of lunatic fans turning on your because things just didn't work out for you romantically with somebody they are unhealthily obsessed with? Imagine the focus group feedback from scorned women telling advertisers they won't go near a single product Kelce endorses or brand that supports him? 

That's a fuck load of pressure. 

You have to think that the only way he gets out of this even semi-unscathed is if he manages to get her to be the one to end things. 

Again, this is all hypothetical, should they ever actually break up. 

He would have to walk such a thin line, going out of his way to get her to get so sick and tired of him but, not to the point where she would bash him publicly or write a song about him. He can't cheat on her or lie to her or anything actually bad. He would just have to basically pull a male Kate Hudson from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. 

(Sidebar- great movie. If we're being honest, when it comes to chick movies you would get forced to watch by your lady, it's got to be top 3 on the list no? So how haven't they flipped this and made a reversal of the plot? I feel like that's a $1 billion dollar box office idea just sitting there, no?)

I personally don't think this will ever happen, and don't want it to happen. (Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce breaking up, not the movie. Of course I want the movie to happen.)

I like Travis Kelce and I really really like Taylor Swift. And I enjoy seeing people happy. And they both seem very happy. 

End blog.
