Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement sparks bizarre conspiracy theory involving US government

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce broke the internet with the announcement of their engagement last week.

The couple broke records on Instagram, with more than 35 million people liking the photos they shared to announce the happy news.

Not everyone is thrilled for Taylor and Travis though, with some corners of social media thinking it's all part of a big conspiracy theory.

Let's face it, there have been some very weird and wonderful theories over the years.

It's what happens when anyone is allowed an opinion online, you're going to get some left-field suggestions.

One TikTok poster insists there is more than meets the eye to the lovebirds and their engagement.

Posting as msbaylee, she began: "I will die on this hill and nobody can convince me otherwise, but I'm gonna start off by saying I'm sorry to all of the Swifties, there's no judgement here."

She continued: "I personally think that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are f****** frauds."

"I saw that they just got engaged and I think that it's bull**** for many reasons."

Warming up, she vented: "I don't know if anyone knows this but the NFL and the US Government literally go hand in hand."

"Since the moment that they started dating up until now, the NFL has brought in a billion dollars - a billion dollars! - in brand value."

The creator carried on: "The US Department Of Defence and the National Guard pay the NFL to promote military recruitment, and it makes so much sense!"

She went on to say it makes so much sense with everything going on in the world, "Donald Trump being in office, it's all a part of a bigger plan!"

"I know what you're thinking, 'why would anybody just pretend that they're dating for the spotlight and whatever?' because you sell your soul with that level of fame!"

"When you're that famous you don't give a f*** about anything besides publicity, money, and what else you can do to make your way to the top."

"It's all a f****** scam, man!" she insisted.

More than 180,000 people have liked her video.

Commenters rushed to react: "If you new the Kayla Nicole version of Travis Kelce, you knew he looked unhappy with TS from the start. I've never thought this was a real relationship," wrote one.

"The NFL season starts next week and she's dropping a new album. People will deadass say it's true love and not PR," scoffed another.

"Swiftie til I die, it's def shady. But genuinely I don't think she's in on the plan, she gains nothing from this relationship. NOTHING. He gains everything," one fan defended Taylor.

"Help, I'm in enemy territory" joked another Swiftie.

One argued: "Why would Taylor Swift, who's already a billionaire and one of the most famous artists in the world be in a PR relationship just to gain more money for the NFL?! Why would she care?! She's already built a career and a legacy. Why would Travis propose in the middle of an NFL season when their schedules are extremely busy? It's not a money grab when the person is already a billionaire. Doesn't make any logical sense."

"Not everything is a conspiracy theory girl, just let two people be happy. Wow," added another.
