Taylor Swift fans ‘work out’ why Travis Kelce was so distracted during US Open

Fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reckon they've worked out what the NFL star was really focusing on when attending the US Open with his songstress beau.

Earlier this month, the high-profile duo were hit with rumours of a planned split when a fake 'contract' circulated the web.

Purported to be from PR firm Full Scope, it listed the date of their supposed 'breakup' as 28 September and listed 'strategy' for the press.

The 'contract' included the following statement: "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."

Full Scope rejected the claims, writing in a statement: "We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents."

Fighting off the rumours, the couple put on an extremely united front at the US Open yesterday (8 September).

They packed on the PDA as World No.1 Jannik Sinner defeated Taylor Fritz in the men's final.

But Travis, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end, was met with further speculation online as it seemed his eyes weren't always on the court - or Taylor.

He was snapped with his phone at various moments throughout the game, often in landscape mode, prompting fans to think he was watching something different to a game of tennis.

Many people think that as an NFL player, Travis couldn't take his eyes off of his sport.

One user wrote on X: "'He’s for sure watching football."

Another said: "travis kelce sitting at the tennis watching the football on his phone propped up against a honey deuce cocktail is unbelievably me coded."

A third added: "Kissing his lady's hand at the US Open while probably watching the Bengals lose on his phone. Travis Kelce is winning big time today."

Travis and Taylor were first romantically linked back in July 2023 when the football star was spotted attending the global superstar's Eras Tour.

Kelce later admitted he took it 'personally' that he didn't get to meet Swift, which led to many suggesting this was his way of 'shooting his shot.'

Lovers of Travlor were vindicated when Taylor was spotted attending one of Travis' games in September.

The happy couple finally went public with their romance in October, after being photographed holding hands.
