Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce broke up?
by (140 points)
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 verified evidence to suggest this is true, so I would assume it is false. This article is from less than a week ago, when Travis confirmed on his podcast that they have definitely not broken up.

I don't think they have broken up I think it is just a rumor.

Here is a source I found https://people.com/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-still-happy-eras-tour-break-source-8610446

This is not true because there is no evidence to support this claim.

https://pagesix.com/2024/05/01/entertainment/travis-kelce-had-blast-at-mahomes-event-with-taylor-swift/

This article reports that they went to The Mahomes Charity event together. At this charity, Travis Kelce made a small speech and called Taylor Swift his "significant other." This means that they are still together and they did not break up.

There is no evidence within this article that supports its claim. This website its trying to gain viewers because Taylor Swift and travis Kelce are the main news. It uses "fan speculation" which is not a solid of enough claim that defends that they broke up. They were also seen at Coachella together. No public announcements have been made it is all speculation.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen together as recently as April 27th, and this article shows proof of their date night. However, It's impossible to know what is actually happening in her personal life as she is a celebrity.

It's crazy how a source on Twitter came out and made acquisitions of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after they not being together at one concert. several sources share the couple is still together and they're "so high school relationship" https://www.today.com/popculture/travis-kelce-taylor-swift-timeline-rcna105483#:~:text=Swift%20and%20Travis%20Kelce%20have,after%20months%20of%20dating%20rumors.

This claim is not supported by evidence. The full post says "fans speculate" about the possible split of the two stars. The post claims the reason for the recent speculation stems from TE's solo appearance at Justin Timberlake's LA concert, and includes no other evidence. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship is getting a lot of media buzz recently, and there has been a growing amount of unfounded claims. There have been no reports of them splitting from any credible news sources, and neither the stars, nor their teams, have commented on the speculation. Both of them recently made a public appearance holding hands and showing affection at the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation gala over the weekend, which many publications have reported on.

This is false, the two were spotted together this past weekend at a golf tournament that Travis played in.

There is no information available to confirm that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have broken up. While there have been some articles written claiming that Swift was cringing at Kelce shouting "Viva Las Vegas," this was purely speculative and says nothing about their relationship status. The couple has not officially commented on their relationship status and any comments about them breaking up are speculation.
