Are Taylor Swift and Blake Lively friends again? Travis and Jason Kelce hint at a possible reunion

Travis and Jason Kelce praise Blake Lively amid rumored fallout with Taylor Swift

NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce gave actress Blake Lively a glowing shout-out on their New Heights podcast, calling her their 'friend' and highlighting her breakout role in the 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The segment aired during the brothers’ 'New Heights Film Club' series, where they revisited movies and discussed memorable performances.

Travis Kelce, 35, applauded Lively’s portrayal of Bridget Vreeland, describing her storyline as “the most relatable and probably the most fun” of the film. Jason Kelce, 37, added to the praise, calling Lively’s character “tall, strong, bold, beautiful, athletic.” He even threw in a light-hearted jab, joking about the actress’s running form in the movie: “I gotta admit, not the best run. Blake, I love you, but it does not strike me as a star athlete run.”

Despite the teasing, the brothers continued to commend Lively’s performance, with Travis noting how “impressive” it was that she could run and deliver lines at the same time. Jason added, “She has good endurance, though... I would be gassed.”

The public praise comes amid ongoing speculation about tension between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s fiancée. Fans have noticed Swift’s public silence around Lively since the actress became entangled in a lawsuit involving her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni earlier this year. According to court documents, Baldoni alleged that Lively used her friendship with Swift—referring to the singer as one of her “dragons” in private texts—to gain influence over production decisions.

TMZ previously reported that Swift was reportedly upset by these revelations, feeling that Lively had leveraged their friendship for personal gain. However, signs of reconciliation may be emerging, as Lively recently liked Swift’s Instagram post promoting her new track “The Life of a Showgirl.”

Whether the Kelce brothers’ public praise of Lively signals a softening of tensions remains to be seen, but for now, it appears Blake Lively still has allies in Taylor Swift’s close circle.
