Have you ever seen that contract purporting to indicate some type of manufactured romantic settlement between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Pictures of the contract went viral this week, claiming to reveal the connection between the worldwide pop star and professional soccer participant as nothing greater than an elaborate PR stunt. The doc even appeared to indicate the couple could be breaking apart round September 28. However it’s fully pretend. A hoax. Complete horseshit, to place it one other method.
The doc seems to indicate the letterhead of public relations company Full Scope and bears the title, “Complete Media Plan for Travis Kelce’s Public Relations Following Breakup with Taylor Swift.” The media technique doc even leads with a confidentiality discover earlier than laying out the plan for minimizing any adverse fallout for the celebrities.
“The assertion ought to be gracious, respectful, and stress mutual respect,” the doc reads. It additionally particulars a plan to launch an official assertion on September 28, three days after the scheduled break-up. However, once more, it’s not actual. And apart from the truth that it seems to be like a homework task for a public relations class, we all know it’s pretend as a result of Full Scope is denying its authenticity.
Full Scope instructed the British tabloid The Day by day Mail that the contract is “solely false and fabricated and weren’t created, issued or authorised by this company,” whereas additionally saying it could take authorized motion.
It’s not solely clear who first created the pictures of the pretend contract, although they popped up very early on Reddit. However wherever they first originated, the doc was unfold far and extensive by a few of the dumbest individuals on social media. Who’re absolutely the dumbest individuals on-line? People who find themselves at the moment giving Elon Musk $8 per 30 days for a blue checkmark, in fact.
“TAYLOR SWIFT – TRAVIS KELCE RELATIONSHIP IS STAGED?” one significantly idiotic account on X wrote Tuesday.
“A doc bearing the letterhead of Travis Kelce’s PR agency is circulating on-line, indicating a contract that mentions the couple’s deliberate breakup on September 28. The textual content for the announcement has already been drafted,” the account continued.
That account, often called the Gasoline Range, has simply 6,000 followers. However anybody who pays for a blue checkmark will get boosted within the X algorithm, that means lots of people can doubtlessly see their ramblings and conspiracy theories. And that’s a part of why X has grow to be so full of rubbish ever since Musk purchased the positioning in October 2022. The platform is overrun with the weirdest losers possible, who all crowd out what was an imperfect however useful instrument for studying about information on the planet.
Oddly, the supposedly “leaked” doc is only a media plan for a break-up slightly than some type of contract for 2 individuals who would enter right into a pretend relationship. However, this being the web, conspiracy theorists pushed the massive nothingburger into even weirder territory by claiming the pretend doc was proof of one thing much more sinister.

Taylor Swift has been a goal of far-right conspiracy theories for years, as Republicans regularly attempt to insist that anybody who opposes Donald Trump have to be bizarre or evil. MAGA shit-stirrers on-line have even tried to say that Swift’s recognition was manufactured by the CIA, calling her a “psy-op” to push the Democrats’ agenda. And it’s commonplace for fully unhinged rubbish like that to exist on the web. However it will get elevated by dipshits with giant platforms, together with guys like Jesse Watters of Fox Information who insisted he was simply asking questions when he did a section about Swift as a Pentagon psy-op earlier this 12 months.
Swift will stay a goal of bizarre conspiracy theories for so long as she stays an individual who finds individuals like Trump repugnant. However hopefully, the web is turning into considerably proof against the weirdest bullshit that floats round on X lately. No, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren’t breaking apart in some pre-scheduled occasion. Even when a bunch of blue checkmarks on the web site previously often called Twitter inform you that’s the case.
