Travis Kelce's publicist incites controversy among fans over viral Taylor Swift post: "It's gonna get nasty for her"

Travis Kelce's publicist, Pia Malihi, drew the ire of many Taylor Swift fans after re-sharing pictures from her birthday party uploaded by a friend.

One of the images in the story was problematic for many Swifties. In the image in which the pop star appeared, her face was hidden by a clown emoji. As the rumored partner of one of her biggest clients, many agreed that this did not reflect well on Malihi.

Fans online noted that she had switched her Instagram account from personal to private. They also noted that the negative feedback will not stop anytime soon.

"Oh sweetie went private real quick. It's gonna get nasty for her trust me."

Another fan started doubting the legitimacy of Taylor and Travis's relationship.

There has already been a lot of talk about the pop star and the NFL star's relationship. Many times, fans have questioned if their rumored romance was for the cameras or not.

Another fan suggested that their linkup might not be for PR, claiming that no publicist would publicly take a shot at their client's potential partner.

Some even suggested that Pia Malihi could have a crush on Kelce:

It is important to note that these are assumptions from fans. Pia Malihi did not speak out about the social media frenzy.
