Taylor Swift has been enjoying spending time with her new boyfriend Travis Kelce, but some fans have grown concerned their relationship is a PR stunt.
The pair made their couple debut back in September when Taylor showed up to support the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at Arrowhead Stadium. Since then, they’ve enjoyed a number of dates and even shared a passionate kiss on New Year’s Eve.
However, Travis has come up with a calculated plot to make sure his popularity grows. The NFL icon is hoping to become as famous as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and has hired five agents to help boost his career, his managers have announced.

Travis has been teamed up with managers André and Aaron Eanes back when he was still a student at the University of Cincinnati. During a trip to Los Angeles in 2022, the trio drove past a poster for The Rock, with Travis exclaiming: “Man, I don’t think I’ll ever be as famous as the Rock.”
André and Aaron simply replied: “Yes you can.” They then devised a plan to help Travis get to the top of his career, bagging him jobs starring in seven national television commercials and hosting Saturday Night Live.
He also launched a clothing line alongside the Kansas City Chiefs. Travis is very popular in the podcasting world and co-hosts a show with his brother Jason Kelce.
The New York Times has revealed Travis’ team has grown since he started dating Taylor. He now employs a creative strategist, community outreach coordinator and a publicist.

Away from the football field, Travis has dreams of breaking into the acting world. To help, he recently became a client of Creative Artists Agency.
Travis has the time to focus on his career away from the NFL in the time between the end of the Super Bowl in February and the stat of training camp in July. It isn’t the first time Travis has set his sights on a different career.
In 2016, he scored his own dating show, titled Catching Kelce. The series followed Travis for eight episodes as he searched for “the one”. Maya Benberry was crowned the winner of the show, but the couple split in January 2017, just months after the last episode has aired.
Despite Travis’ dreams of making it big, his managers have insisted that his relationship with Taylor is not part of a PR stunt. André and Aaron admitted they’ve been “executing a plan” over the past few years to help Travis, but insisted the athlete dating Taylor was not part of it.
