    A certain rumor has stemmed out from what appears to be a fraudulent "leaked" document, purportedly created by Kelce’s PR team, Full Scope. This document has suggested that the intense romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could be a blatant PR stunt for mutually enhancing their public image. The document also involves an announcing of their breakup, supposedly set for September 28, 2024, suggests a Telegraph UK report.

    What does the 'leaked' document suggest?

    Titled “Comprehensive Media Plan for Travis Kelce’s Public Relations Following Breakup With Taylor Swift,” the document claims to provide a strategy for managing the aftermath of the rumored split. It suggests portraying the breakup as a mutual decision and highlights Kelce’s dedication to his career. The document includes suggested messaging for the media, such as: “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.”

    Swift fans skeptical about latest leak

    Despite the convincing appearance of the document, Swift’s loyal fans were skeptical, and a representative from Full Scope has since labeled the document as "entirely false and fabricated." The representative further stated that legal action is being pursued against those responsible for the forgery.

    Public relations expert Stephens explains that celebrity couples often coordinate their PR strategies for smooth public breakups. This prevents negative fallout and preserves their public images. “It’s much better to agree how to frame it,” Stephens notes, emphasizing the importance of a dignified split.

      Could this really be a PR strategy?

      The hoax document's use of phrases like “mutual decision” is designed to ensure both parties appear respectable and avoid public blame. Celebrities typically work with PR teams to craft carefully worded announcements and manage media coverage.

      Mark Borkowski, a public relations consultant, finds it unlikely that a real PR strategy would be detailed in such a manner. “You wouldn’t put all that down in paper – you wouldn’t go into that sort of detail,” he says, casting doubt on the document’s authenticity. He also questions the document’s portrayal of a harmonious breakup, suggesting it’s more common for celebrities to leak their sides of the story independently.
