Fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were able to breathe a sigh of relief after a leaked ‘contract’ revealing the exact day of their divorce was labeled fake.
As the document, apparently printed on the letterhead of his US PR firm, circulated online, Mr Kelce called in the lawyers – and yet, even though the split announcement never materialised, the public has not seen them together since the date stated on the piece of paper.
The billionaire pop star, 34, was last seen supporting the Kansas City Chief tight end at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24 when his team took on the Chicago Bears – four days before the alleged split date.
In the time they’ve apparently spent apart, Taylor missed Travis’ 35th birthday this weekend — a surprising absence considering their PDA-filled display at the US Open early this month.
While it’s likely the singer is rehearsing for the Miami leg of her Eras Tour this month, Taylor’s absence on Travis’ birthday has fueled speculation among fans, but according to Travis, the pair will publicly reunite today when the Chiefs taking on New Orleans. Saints.
The mystery surrounding Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s ‘break-up date’ has deepened after the singer skipped Travis’ birthday party this weekend (seen together at the US Open, September 8)
When the document spread online claiming the couple was planning to split last month, Travis’ reps were forced to deny the claims.
The paperwork, which appeared to be prepared by Los Angeles-based company Full Scope, revealed a strategy to effect their split, and said the date for an announcement was September 28.
It also outlined an alleged plan to release an official statement late last month – three days after the split – to “allow the initial media frenzy to subside and ensure clarity.”
It added that the announcement will be “gracious, respectful and mutually respectful.”
Explaining what the statement would entail, they write: “Example: After careful consideration, Travis and Taylor have decided to separate. They value and respect each other’s personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time.
“They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best.”
The paperwork also stated that the announcement would focus on Travis’ “personal growth” by treating breakups as a “natural part of life.” It would also highlight his dedication to his career and his continued achievements in the sports industry.”
However, a spokesperson for Full Scope insisted they were “completely false and fabricated and not created, published or authorized by this agency.”

The rep also added at the time that they had retained lawyers – although they did not expect to find the perpetrator.
“We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and harmful falsification of documents,” they said.
A spokeswoman for Taylor did not respond when asked if she would comment on the split.
Following the intense speculation, the couple attempted to dispel the rumors by appearing together at multiple public events, including football matches, a friend’s wedding in New York and the US Open.
But their PDA-filled presentation at the US Open on September 9 sparked more conspiracy theories from fans online.
The couple brushed aside speculation surrounding their relationship as they watched world No. 1 Jannik Sinner beat Taylor Fritz in the men’s final at Flushing Meadows.
Taylor and Travis couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they were joined by boyfriend Patrick and Brittany Mahomes in a luxury suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
However, fans pointed out that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end may have had a wandering eye, indicating that his presence may not have been genuine.
The NFL star’s attention was questioned by fans on social media, who suggested his focus wasn’t entirely on the action on the field — or even on his girlfriend.
In several photos, the three-time Super Bowl winner could be seen holding his phone against a commemorative glass from the US Open.
He turned the phone on its side to display the screen in landscape mode, leading social media sleuths to believe Travis was viewing something on it.
“He definitely watches football,” a Taylor Swift fan account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted alongside a photo of Travis’ phone.
“Bro watched the Bengals take the L,” wrote another, referring to the Chiefs’ AFC rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals, and their loss to the New England Patriots.
The Chiefs were scheduled to host the Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium on September 15, and other social media users agreed that Travis was keeping an eye on the team in preparation for the game against one of Kansas City’s old AFC Championship foes.
“I bet he’s watching the Bengals game, they’re losing,” one user posted, while another added: “Studying Bengals for next weekend.”

But the public appearances came to a halt on September 24, after Taylor appeared at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on her tight end boyfriend as his team took on the Chicago Bears.
Days later, Taylor was a no-show at SoFi Stadium to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs.
And her absence from Los Angeles came one day after the alleged “breakup” date in her and Kelce’s allegedly leaked relationship “contract.”
Despite the fact that the public has not seen the couple together for a while, insiders claim otherwise. They claim Taylor Swift made an early morning sprint earlier this month to support Kelce after his woeful start to the season.
Insiders say Taylor flew from New York to Kelce’s $6 million home in Kansas City last Monday.
She made her run as the Kansas Chief tight end grappled with the reality of the worst start to the season of his career.
Additionally, last Thursday, the gossip podcast “Deux Moi” claimed Swift was in town, while the couple reportedly “closed” the Kansas City hotspot of “Noka,” a downtown Japanese restaurant.
According to Deux Moi, “The restaurant claimed it was closed for maintenance, but it’s the same restaurant where Britanny Mahomes had her birthday dinner not too long ago.”
After spending two days together, Swift reportedly left Kelce so he could focus on football. On Wednesday, he flew to Nashville, Tennessee before making the short drive to St. Louis, Missouri on Friday, September 27, where she attended her cousin’s wedding.
Swift wasn’t there to see Kansas City beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10 last Sunday. But according to a source, her absence is not an indication that her romance with Kelce is cooling down.
The singer was nowhere to be seen on Saturday when Travis arrived at Kelce Car Jam on his 35th birthday

Despite the insider’s claims, Taylor’s absence from Travis’ birthday celebrations this weekend once again left fans unsure.
Taylor stayed away when Kelce hosted his second annual Kelce Car Jam charity event in Kansas City, with this edition coinciding with his 35th birthday.
The 35-year-old was accompanied by his older brother Jason Kelce, as well as his parents, Ed and Donna Kelce.
A few of his Chiefs teammates were also in attendance, including Patrick Mahomes and George Karlaftis.
After the event in Kansas City, members of the Kelce family joined Mahomes, his wife Brittany and others for an afterparty at the Aristocrat Lounge.
There was speculation as to whether Swift would attend her friend’s charity event, but she was not spotted during the festivities.
Swift did not make her presence felt at Kelce Car Jam amid speculation about whether the “Anti-Hero” singer will be at Monday’s Chiefs game against the New Orleans Saints.
Despite missing the Chiefs’ past two games and Kelce’s birthday celebration, the tight end confirmed Saturday, “I know she’s coming for the game.”
The relationship saga will continue tonight as fans wait to see if Taylor will appear at Travis’ game.
