Taylor Swift’s absence from SoFi Stadium on Sunday didn’t go unnoticed as her rumored relationship with Travis Kelce appears to be at a critical juncture. For the second consecutive game, Swift was not spotted in the stands supporting her rumored beau, leaving fans to wonder if the relationship is on the rocks.

The Chiefs faced off against the Chargers, but despite Kelce’s high-profile status, it wasn’t his performance on the field that got people talking-it was Swift’s no-show. This follows the surfacing of an alleged ‘breakup contract’ that supposedly outlined a separation between the pop icon and the Chiefs‘ star tight end. According to the so-called “contract,” September 28 was intended to be the end of their romance, with an official announcement expected soon after. The document laid out what seemed to be a pre-planned statement on their breakup, drafted by Kelce‘s PR team.

Interestingly, the legitimacy of this contract has been fervently denied. Representatives for Kelce branded it “entirely false and fabricated,” even reportedly hiring legal experts to hunt down the origin of the misleading document. It’s unclear why such a rumor would surface, but it certainly added fuel to the fire during a notably rough stretch for the star player.

Kelce has had a sluggish start to his NFL season, with only eight receptions for 69 yards in his first three games. Critics have attributed his poor performance to various distractions-possibly including his relationship with Swift. Yet, both the Chiefs and his teammates have come to his defense. Head Coach Andy Reid dismissed claims that Kelce’s relationship with the superstar has affected his focus. “Trav is fine. He works hard, and he hasn’t lost a step. People will talk, but his focus and dedication haven’t wavered,” Reid said.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also backed his teammate, emphasizing Kelce’s ability to navigate challenges. According to Mahomes, defenses continue to zero in on Kelce because of his unparalleled impact. “The respect factor for Travis remains unreal, and it’s deserved. He knows the situation and wants to help the team win, no matter what it takes,” Mahomes commented after their recent game against the Falcons.

It’s also worth mentioning that Kelce looked visibly frustrated during that game, sitting alone on the bench as his struggles mounted. Despite this rough start, Kelce aims to turn things around-especially against the Chargers, a team he historically performs well against, averaging almost 68 yards per game.

As for Taylor Swift, her silence leaves fans speculating about her relationship with the NFL star. Is she simply busy, or could there be something to those breakup rumors? With Swift skipping out on consecutive Chiefs games, it’s anyone’s guess where things truly stand between the two celebrities. Only time will reveal whether this romance is destined for a comeback or whether it’s fading into the rearview mirror, much like Kelce’s stats this season.
