Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to kick off the NFL season on Thursday night against the Ravens — and with a third-straight Super Bowl looking like a real possibility for Patrick Mahomes and company — the NFL is smart to highlight the reigning champions on national television to kick off the 2024 season.
Why?
Beyond the allure of watching Mahomes — who love him, or hate him — has become one of the most electrifying QBs in the NFL, pulling off one or two insane highlight-worthy plays at minimum per game, there’s a much bigger storyline following the team nowadays.

Travis Kelce Hires Lawyers After Report Reveals Relationship With Taylor Swift Is PR Stunt
Documents recently emerged on social media and caught fire as they showed that the relationship between Kelce and Swift was a well-orchestrated PR strategy and outlined how the couple would break up in late September.
The ‘contract’ appears to be written by PR firm Full Scope, and details plans and an exact date for Kelce’s breakup with Swift on September 28.
Paperwork shows an alleged plan to release a statement three days after the supposed breakup to “allow the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity.”
The paperwork which appears to have been created by Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, reveals a strategy that will lead to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift splitting and says the date for an announcement is September 28.
It also outlines a supposed plan to release an official statement at the end of this month – three days ‘post-break up’ to ‘allow the initial media frenzy to settle and ensure clarity’.
The level of detail in the alleged documents proving Swift’s relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs star sent shockwaves throughout the internet, questioning whether it was real or not.
The level of detail was worrisome including an announcement stating the split will be “gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect.”
Laying out what the statement would say, they write: “Example: 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. “
The paperwork also states that the announcement would “focus on Kelce’s ‘personal growth’ by framing the breakup as a ‘natural part of life.’ It also will highlight his “commitment to his career with the Kansas City Chiefs and his ongoing achievements in the sports industry.”
A spokesman for Full Scope told the Daily Mail the documents were “entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorized by this agency.”
Even though the documents primarily caught steam on message boards and smaller websites, Travis Kelce clearly isn’t thrilled with the incident and has hired a team of lawyers to combat the bold claim and find the culprit responsible.
The Kansas City Chiefs kickoff the 2024 NFL season on Thursday night at home against the Baltimore Ravens at 8:15 PM ET.
