Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce face rumoured breakup amid leaked docs

Being a star has its perks: fame, wealth, exclusive parties, luxury cars (or yachts), exotic vacations... However, popularity also has its price - losing at least part of one's privacy.

Some celebrities handle it well and know how to avoid the media or excited fans. Others willingly share their private lives and are willing to go to lengths such as selling photos of their own wedding or the birth of their child. Others strive to control it so tightly that even very difficult and private matters like a breakup are managed with a crisis management team.

We can only imagine how exhausting it must be to experience a relationship breakup while also thinking about issuing the appropriate media statement. The entire internet is buzzing that this is precisely what has happened to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce—without a doubt, one of the most popular celebrity couples in the USA.

The love between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce seemed to be flourishing until now. The singer has often been criticized for taking short flights on a private jet to visit her boyfriend. She was often seen at his games, and Travis in turn supported her during her "The Eras Tour" concerts. People wearing football jerseys with Kelce's number often appeared at the singer's shows—a sign of fan approval that is not guaranteed in a relationship.

On September 3, fragments of a document containing "Taylor and Travis's breakup strategy" surfaced online. Fans quickly deemed it authentic for several reasons, one was the strategy being written on paper with the letterhead of Full Scope Public Relations, the agency representing the football player. The breakup announcement was set for September 28, and the documents also contained the stars' statements.

"Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other's personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time. They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best"—reads the relatively dry statement.

The reaction from Travis Kelce's PR team didn't take long. "We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,"—a representative for the athlete told the "Daily Mail" website. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce themselves have not commented on the matter. We wish the couple a peaceful resolution to this media crisis.
