And yet, the loved-up outing came just four days after a hoax contract circulated online, a contract which allegedly laid out a detailed PR strategy for how their breakup would play out at the end of this month.<\/p>\n Perhaps the couple\u2019s relaxed attitude while they watched the tennis was understandable. After all the document has since been deemed \u2018entirely false and fabricated\u2019 by Kelce\u2019s PR agency, Full Scope Public Relations. For those of you who didn\u2019t see it, the \u2018leaked\u2019 plan was titled \u2018Comprehensive Media Plan for Travis Kelce\u2019s Public Relations Following Breakup with Taylor Swift\u2019 and had 28 September listed as the supposed planned date that the couple would announce their \u2018split\u2019, a year after they first started dating. <\/p>\n Hoax or not, a viral story about your relationship being a fauxmance is far from ideal, especially for someone with a public image as masterfully administered as Taylor Swift\u2019s. It’s unsurprising, then, that the couple was quick to deploy some apparent level of damage control. The day after the fake contract went viral on social media, all eyes were on Swift as she arrived to watch Kelce\u2019s NFL team Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens in their home stadium in Kansas City in an outfit seemingly designed for maximum impact: a denim Versace bustier, high-waisted denim shorts from Grlfrnd, and Giuseppe Zanotti thigh-high patent leather stiletto boots. The couple left smiling for the cameras and holding hands. They then flew to New York the next day for a PDA-filled weekend where they were spotted first on a pizza date, then at Karen Elson and Lee Foster\u2019s star-studded wedding, the next day dancing to \u2018I Believe in a Thing Called Love\u2019 live on air at the US Open, before heading for a three-hour dinner in Manhattan. If anything says \u2018we are happier than ever and an imminent breakup is not on the cards\u2019, it\u2019s four very public outings in three days.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A source tells Grazia, \u2018The fake contract story was quickly proven to be total nonsense, so the debate turned to how Taylor and Travis would choose to handle it. The feeling is that they handled it with class and did well to avoid the pantomime, but they were irritated that it brought a lot of cynics out of the woodwork.\u2019<\/p>\n More cynical corners of the internet have pointed out that, regardless of how quickly the document went viral after being posted on Reddit, and how swiftly it was dismissed as fake, it has at least done some heavy lifting to keep the couple in the spotlight. For one, it gave Kelce\u2019s NFL opener a 23-year ratings high, with 33 million people tuning in to the second quarter.<\/p>\n And so a breakup on the 28 September is not looking likely. In fact, if anything, engagement rumours are what continue to swirl for the couple. \u2018Their friends are of the opinion that it\u2019s just a question of when versus if they tie the knot,\u2019 suggests Grazia\u2019s source. \u2018For now, they\u2019re just very happy together and putting the cynics firmly in their place.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n IMAGE: IMAGO<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A contract which allegedly laid out a detailed PR strategy for how their breakup would play out at the end of this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":4048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"kschwarz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4046"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4046\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4052,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4046\/revisions\/4052"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
