Is Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce ‘Love Story’ Fake? Know The Details
The American media is already abuzz over the burgeoning romance between pop sensation Taylor Swift and NFL standout Travis Kelce.
Despite early doubts from many about the Kansas City Chiefs star’s suitability as Swift’s partner, his actions and remarks about her are gradually winning over the public.
Any new relationship that Swift enters garners a lot of attention because she is regarded as America’s sweetheart. Because of his kindness toward her, Kelce seems to be reversing the negative feedback at this point.

“I’ve never been a man of words… Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f**king mind-blowing. I’m learning every day,” he recently said.
“I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them. I’m not running away from any of it.”
Gaining the support of the general public
According to Helen Holmes’ op-ed in the Daily Beast, Kelce was once thought of as a somewhat ‘idiot’ athlete who couldn’t contain someone with Swift’s level of talent.

“To understand Travis Kelce, it’s crucial to dig into what people seem to be consistently getting wrong about him, and detractors and fans alike are laboring under the same misapprehension: that he’s a himbo. Put another way, for those over 40 who don’t understand millennial slang, the general consensus is that this dude isn’t very smart,” Holmes wrote.
“But Travis Kelce, like all distinctly media-savvy people in the public eye, is almost certainly practiced at using common misconceptions to his advantage. You’d be forgiven for mistaking him, a warm-eyed, goofy-grinned person with the demeanor of a goofy labrador retriever and the wardrobe of a rapper with an affinity for Spongebob Squarepants who also got dressed in the dark, for a dim bulb.”

Now, though, rumors are circulating that Kelce is shifting his views due to his open romance with the singer.
“In fact, there is a vast ecosystem of social media users for whom posting about the budding relationship between Swift and Kelce is not just a hobby, but a full-time vocation,” Holmes adds.
“It’s as though, with each new kiss, heartwarming shoutout and public display of affection, their collective faith in true love is being restored. In a world ravaged by shitty app dating and a parade of bad hookups, that’s no small feat.”

A similar sentiment about this shifting conversation is reflected in an opinion piece on CNN.
“I don’t profess to know what is happening behind closed doors with Swift and Kelce, but what I do know is that whatever it is, it’s bringing joy to some people – and I’m team that,” Written by Lisa Respers France.

While dating one of the most well-known persons in the world was never going to be easy for Kelce to maintain a “perfect” image, he was undoubtedly becoming more and more respected over time.
