The rest, as they say, is history, and Taylor and Travis even announced their engagement back in August after around two years of dating. Aeon / Getty Images Through all of this, some of Taylor's fans have side-eyed just how intertwined Travis has become with her career. In June of last year, fans were stunned when Travis joined her onstage at her Eras tour date in London for a skit ahead of her performance of "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart."

New Heights Shortly after this album's release, some fans claimed that the signed CDs they had ordered arrived with a second signature scrawled across them - this signature was quickly matched to Travis's autograph. TikTok @underthestarsz_ / Via tiktok.com Needless to say, people were left disappointed that Taylor would have her romantic partner partake in her hugely successful career in this way, with many also calling out the assumption that being a fan of an artist means you are also a fan of who they are in a relationship with. Emma Mcintyre / Getty Images One incredibly viral tweet at the time read: "we are not fucking fans of your boyfriend we are fans of YOU and YOU are making the music and the money but you're letting him into your career bc of your fuckass rose colored glasses." "ppl don't purchase signed things for a signature from the artists fiancé," another popular tweet pointed out. Others also called out how much Taylor spoke about Travis during the promo tour for The Life of a Showgirl, which - notably - included her saying that she didn't want to do the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show because she is "too locked in to" Travis's football season to want to be on the field during such a huge event in his industry. Reacting to the signed CDs, one fan observed: "she doesn't want to sing at the super bowl because it's her boyfriend's space but he can sign her work... interesting." And the discourse has erupted once again after Disney+ dropped a new trailer for Taylor's upcoming The End of an Era docuseries, which, once again, centers Travis. In the footage, Taylor's mom, Andrea, says: "Travis Kelce brings a lot of happiness." Disney+ / Via x.com "The most meaningful relationship I've ever had started with a man saying he was butthurt that I didn't want to meet him," Taylor adds over multiple clips of Travis. "Greatest surprise of my life." Disney+ / Via x.com She then compares their two careers, telling the cameras: "We both entertain people; his with considerable more violence than mine." In a subsequent phone conversation with Travis, he can be heard saying: "You've got teammates, I've got teammates," to which Taylor replies: "You've got Coach Reid, I've got my mom." Disney+ / Via x.com And these clips have made Taylor's fans nervous of just how Travis-heavy the docuseries may be, with an incredibly viral tweet reading: "she's really turning the biggest tour of all time into a Travis Kelce propaganda like seriously..." Disney+ / Via x.com "the more she makes it tayvis centered the more i get the ick," somebody else agreed, while another user added added: "Girl, you're way more than the man you're dating 💀" Disney+ / Via x.com "i genuinely do not give a fuck about travis i get that they are using him as promo but if there is more than 5 minutes spent on that man im leaving," another wrote. One more tweeted: "making ur bf a huge part of the doc about ur sold out history making tour....depressing." Disney+ / Via x.com "Every trailer I see for this makes me less excited about it and i
