THE REAL DEAL?

Their relationship has evolved pretty quickly, making everyone wonder if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love affair is just a publicity stunt
MAXINE PETERS
THE REAL DEAL?

SHE'S written enough soppy songs over the years to make up the perfect romantic soundS track and if there's one thing she knows how to do, it's put her fans in their feels.

Many of her songs were written after she either had her heart broken or ended up breaking someone else's. So when Taylor Swift (33) hooked up with American footballer Travis Kelce (34), Swifties were sure the songwriting was on the wall.

The new romance was all everyone was talking about - even David Beckham was excited about it, telling People she's "an amazing talent and an amazing person and deserves to be happy".

And in no time there it was: a lyric including her new man. Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and, during a show in Buenos Aires on her Eras Tour, she mixed things up.

Instead of singing "Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me", in her song Karma, she sang, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me".

And then, once the show had ended, she ran off stage straight into Travis' arms, kissing him passionately in full view of her fans. Oh, the romance of it all.

In an episode of New Heights, the podcast Travis hosts with his brother, Jason, he said he "had a little bit of a clue" that Tay-Tay would acknowledge him during the show, but the moment still caught him off guard.

"I was like, 'Oh, she really just said that?”

But while loyal Swifites can't contain their delight at the new loved-upness, some critics have been wondering if the romance is real or more of a faux-mance.
