There is no definitive proof to the fact that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship is a PR stunt. The article by Strike Magazine speaks from a first person perspective and is merely speculation. The graph provided contains no labels or context and therefore may be completely unrelated to the issue at hand.

I think you may have provided a good article that you found but you did not really explain any of the information within the actual article. Your claim can't really be supported by the evidence you provided. Also, it could definitely be helpful to find another source and find out information about the author before making your claim.

Although I think this article was interesting and fun to read as a fan of both of these people, I think next time you should clarify the evidence you found within the article when talking about that there is "no definitive proof". While making the claims about speculation, perhaps you could clarify what speculation they addressed in the article to make it clear for your readers what you are disagreeing with.

There is no solid evidence that their relationship was/is a PR stunt. The source you used was from a student-run publication. The source of this rumor most likely came from Deuxmoi, a known rumor-based "news" business who consistently spreads false news about celebrities and their personal life. Taylor Swift's publicist has publicly disputed Deuxmoi posts several times, here is one for example. https://x.com/treepaine/status/1730438685403853279. In the past, many of Taylor's relationships have been accused of being PR as well. It is simply a baseless claim used repeatedly to shame her.

While I agree that the article posted and similar claims are made to shame Taylor Swift, I don't think using her publicist as a source is reliable. Publicists are hired to maintain the image of the artist. If their relationship WAS a PR student, of course the publicist would never admit it and do anything to defend the person they are hired by.
