Taylor Swift's beau Travis Kelce has hit back at rumours suggesting the two are in a PR relationship after an alleged contract 'leaked' online.
The 'contract' first appeared on Reddit, with users immediately questioning the authenticity.
Photographs of the contract suggest that the relationship between NFL star Kelce and 'Bad Blood' singer Swift is a publicity stunt, and that the date of their staged breakup was due to happen soon - on 28 September, to be precise.
According to the images, the dubious contract appeared to have been written up by PR firm Full Scope, and includes detailed plans of the strategy surrounding their breakup.

The papers also include a plan to release a statement three days after news of the breakup leaked, to 'allow the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity'.
They added that the announcement was planned to show 'gracious, respectful, and stress mutual respect.'
The contract reads with the following 'planned' 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."
Now, 34-year-old Kelce, who is represented by Full Scope, has been forced to step in and deny the rumours, and has added that he's instructed lawyers.
The Daily Mail were informed by Full Scope: "We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents."
They went on to add that the claims are 'entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorised by this agency.'
Kelce's publicist, Jack Ketsoyan, has spoken about PR relationships before and their ability to draw attention to large projects.
During an appearance on Australian podcast The Quicky in 2019, he spoke exclusively about arranged relationships in Hollywood.
He said: "It's to be able to sell the hype of it – whether a concert, album… or getting people to go to see the movie, it all about the hype at the moment."

There is no suggestion he has played any part in the alleged 'contract' leak.
Kelce and Swift were first linked in July 2023 when he was spotted attending the global superstar's Eras Tour.
By the time July raced around, Kelce admitted he took it 'personally' that he didn't get to meet Swift, which led to many saying he was 'shooting his shot.'
The world rejoiced when Swift attended one of Kelce's games in September - with the duo finally going public with their romance in October, after being photographed holding hands.
