How the ‘Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce breakup’ rumor started

There is no valid reason to believe Taylor and Travis Kelce are over and the video implying the same is best laughed off.

A TikTok featuring the American football wide receiver Marquez Valdes Scantling and Travis has led people to think Taylor and her new beau have called quits on their relationship.

When the interviewer asked Marquez, who was his childhood celebrity crush growing up, he quickly said, Aaliyah, and pointed at her tattoo on his thigh. When the same question was asked to Travis, he took a moment to think of his answer when his fellow footballer jumped in to say “Taylor Swift”.

Travis giggles awkwardly and simply says “Alright now”, without providing an answer or accepting or denying what Marquez said.

But, neither Travis nor Taylor have hinted at any sort of trouble in their blooming relationship.

Fans apparently sense nervousness in Travis’s laughter

The internet will never run out of reasons and excuses when it comes to gossip concerning celebrities.

Fans have taken it upon themselves to decode Travis’s body language in the above video to conclude he was done with Taylor.

One fan said they sensed a “nervous laugh” from the footballer, while another added: “OMG. I just found out they broke up. Can’t believe.”

But a few others were quick to tell the video was a total clickbait with a misleading title.

“Clickbait! This is not about them breaking up! The title is a lie, to get you to click on it!,” wrote another.

Taylor Swift and NFL star go public with their relationship

Taylor and Travis were first linked romantically when fans spotted the singer at the Kansas City Chiefs’ games.

Long before pictures of them walking hand-in-hand circulated, the NFL star had expressed his desire to date the singer; he even made a bracelet with his phone number on it for his future girlfriend.

Although he refused to comment on rumors about him and Taylor, a picture posted to Instagram by Chiefs’ wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s girlfriend confirmed the romance as the singer was seen planting a kiss on her man’s cheek.
