Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship is really under the scope after they appeared together on a romantic date at the US Open.
While many thought it was a cute scene, with Taylor even bopping to The Darkness’ hit ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’, a body language expert isn’t quite convinced.
After rumours circulated this past week of the pair engaging in a fake ‘contract’, which alleges that the couple will ‘breakup’ on 28 September when their ‘contract’ is over, it seems that ‘red flags’ in their relationship have been revealed.

However, when clips of the two circulated the internet, people believed that Travis was a little distracted.
He was pictured on his phone at various moments throughout the date, often in landscape mode, leading fans to think he was watching something different to a game of tennis.
Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, body language expert Darren Stanton told Tyla that the way Travis was acting was apparently indicative of the pair’s downward spiral.
According to Darren, the NFL player’s energy levels appear to have ‘decreased’ as his relationship stretches out.
He told Tyla: “Initially, when they were pictured walking anywhere, they were all over each other, he would have his arms round her from the back, hugging her really tightly.
“Their matching and mirroring of body language was much greater, and they would meet each other in the middle with their gestures, showing a strong connection.”

Darren continued: “It no longer feels authentic, and feels as though Taylor is always on duty.”
The body language expert added: “For these two, they started off quite full on, very tactile, very touchy feely.
“Travis was going around the world to support her on her Era’s Tour.”
Now, the sportsman has supposedly seen a ‘drop’ in his energy, as well as his affection which, according to Darren, ‘appears to have decreased in public’.
He went on: “The PDA from the pair was very full on for a while, holding hands and kissing in public, but this seems to have decreased as time has gone on. He’s only really trying when she’s looking.”
Darren claimed: “It’s only when she looks at him that he really engages.
“A lot of the signs that were initially present such as the prolonged eye contact and PDA, the tactile moments that were put out, are no longer appearing as strong or operating on the same level as before.”

After the pair were often seen being ‘caught’ staring at each other in the early days, it seems like those moments are also few and far between too.
Darren told Tyla: “We’ve not seen that in recent weeks, so I believe he is becoming less interested with the ‘Taylor Swift circus’.”
Because of the fame that Taylor brings with her and the high-level of paparazzi and media speculation, Darren thinks that Travis is now ‘overwhelmed’ by the ‘media frenzy circus’ and that he may have simply ‘reached his point where it is too much’.
For now, the expert thinks ‘we will continue to see a gradual decrease in these gestures and signatures with their behaviour over the coming weeks’.
It’s worth noting that this is all simply speculation, nevertheless, it’s sent fans into a right spiral.
Tyla has contacted Taylor and Travis’ reps for comment.
