Who is Pia Malihi? Travis Kelce's publicist in big trouble over Instagram post clowning Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce's publicist Pia Malihi is being dragged online for a recent post she shared on her Instagram story. In the post were a few images, including one of Kelce's new partner Taylor Swift.

The popstar's face was obscured with a clown emoji, something that has set her fans and those supportive of the relationship off. Kelce and Swift have been seeing each other for a little while now, and this is certainly not a good look.

Barstool president Dave Portnoy, a noted and proud Swiftie, said this on X, formerly known as Twitter:

"Introducing the worst publicist to ever live. Travis Kelce's publicist reposting a picture that has a clown emoji over Taylor's face. Even if it was an accident it's an accident a publicist can't make. See ya Pia."

According to Malihi's PR company, she is a fierce leader with fresh worldly views and sharp instincts. She grew up between Paris and Los Angeles, but now resides in Beverly Hills, the ideal LA hub from which she can easily reach her clients, family, and all of the best brunch spots.

She began her public relations career in her early 20s with Bowery Public Relations in Los Angeles, where she worked with clients such as Coach and House of Bijan before joining the publicity team at Jonesworks, where she was responsible for accounts for Dwayne Johnson, Scooter Braun, and Justin Baldoni.

Pia Malihi is in hot water for recent post

The recent incident has many fans on social media believing that Travis Kelce will need to look for a new publicist. Malihi has done a good job crafting his image and he's currently on top of the world, but all it takes is one mistake and this could be Malihi's.

Swift's fans have also noted that Malihi has worked with Scooter Braun before. Braun and Swift do not get along, and he was responsible for her not owning the masters of her first six studio albums.

For this reason, she's re-recording and re-releasing her old albums. As such, Braun is the Swiftie army's biggest enemy. The fact that there's a link between the two parties means that Pia Malihi is definitely in hot water right now.
