Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce broke up?

There is no factual backing to this claim being made. This post was fake dialogue that got revealed to the public without any verification. The user likely assumed Kelce and Swift had broken up because Kelce is seen alone at a concert. However, that doesn't nearly prove a break-up.

Taylor and Travis Kelce are still together and this claim is false. They were spotted together as recently as April 27th at a Patrick Mahomes gala. At this gala, Taylor was seen kissing and holding hands according to People Magazine. Furthermore, many other news publications have reported Taylor and Travis recently being spotted together and engaging in romantic actions.

I entirely agree that there is no truth to the claim that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have broken up. Being seen no more than two days ago and with upcoming plans together to be in the public eye refutes any thoughts that the celebrity couple have split ways.

Not true. There are many articles online confirming that they are still together. In fact, an article written by Bazaar recently came out two days ago stating that Taylor Swift accompanied Travis Kelce to the Mahome's Gala. She also alludes to him quite a lot in her recently released album, "Tortured Poets Department." Link down below.

There is no substantial evidence that Swift and Kielce have broken up. Taylor's album was just released April 19th, which has fans analyzing her every move. I think with the release of the album, Swift had had extra attention on her and her fans could overanalyze a simple look on her face. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a45301082/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-full-relationship-timeline/# This is an article of a full timeline of Swift and Kelce's relationship posted just two days ago. There is no mention of any sort of trouble in their relationship or them being broken up.

No evidence backs up the claim, "Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are broken up." As the spotlight beams off this fan-favorite couple, it never ceases to fail fans to start rumors if they are still together or not. Pondering this claim, X says Taylor Swift wasn't present with Travis Kelce at a concert when he was there with friends. Probably a friend's night out. As fans say, "I have a feeling they broke up"; there is no evidence to back up that feeling, they are all just assumptions if they aren't with each other 24/7. There are a lot of false accusations about celebrities who are dating, like Travis and Taylor but we can only clearly announce a split between the two if they clarify the rumors themselves. The article from TheCut brings forth information confirming he did go for a boys' night but shows no speculations that the couple broke up.

This claim is false. There exist only a handful of articles that state they have broken up, but there are thousands talking about where they are at in their relationship. Sort of like a “timeline”. I found an article talking about how they may be planning to live together.

Further proof they are still together is here:

There is no evidence behind this claim at all. The X user meerly made this up. Just because Kelce was seen at a concert solo proves nothing and there are multiple sources that claim they are together still.

This is a source of misinformation. There is no reliable evidence that clearly shows it to be true. The only reason this article is being written is to draw attention to make it a good story, but it really won't because the intentions aren't sincere. The Reddit posts included are just assumptions that are being made. Looking at the date this was published was back March 15th and recently there's been an event to prove that they are still together as both Taylor and Travis were seen out together at the Coachella event. Posted from just a day ago they were spotted together with an image from the event.

Although there is a lot of social media coverage over these two celebrities right now, neither of them have spoken about their relationship recently. There is no evidence or proof to back this claim. The only thing the press and media has seen of the two stars recently is photos of them together at music events, which people read into. The general public has no true answer to what this couple does or is like, so there is no accurate way to explain their relationship, let alone claim they broke up.

Sites like Yahoo, which are not reliable sources from the start, create fake headlines. They use this as a headline to get fans intrigued and make them read the news.

There is no available evidense to support this claim. This is a devicibve topic and people commonly lie about it. No official reports have been put out.

There is no actual evidence of this event happening. The post says they "speculate" that they have broken up and provide information that Travis Kelce has gone to a different concert. The post is also from an account that is not verified, meaning anyone can post this with no consequence.

This is a completely false claim. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are still together, as they were spotted together at an event gala last week. Also, according to People Magazine, Travis Kelce was spotted showing affection to Taylor in a new video that a fan took at the event to show that they are still together. https://people.com/travis-kelce-affectionately-kisses-taylor-swift-shoulder-new-video-8641059
