Travis Kelce Drops Ryan Reynolds From Instagram, Reignites Rumors
Last week, reports began circulating that Blake Lively and Taylor Swift had patched things up after their friendship turned icy in the wake of Lively’s legal drama with Justin Baldoni. If the longtime pals did patch things up, Swift’s boyfriend didn’t get the memo. In a seemingly telling move, Travis Kelce unfollowed Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, on Instagram. He isn’t following Lively either, but it is possible he never did.
Travis Kelce unfollows Ryan Reynolds on Instagram
Travis Kelce has been spending his off-season lying low with Taylor Swift. He apparently is spending some of that downtime on social media. The NFL tight end stirred up some drama this week when he suddenly and inexplicably unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram. TMZ was the first outlet to report the sudden change.
According to the publication, Kelce had previously followed the Deadpool star but appears to have cut the cord after his girlfriend was dragged into Blake Lively’s legal battle. Kelce isn’t currently following Lively either, but it seems he never did follow the Gossip Girl starlet.
Kelce follows over 1,600 people, mostly other stars and celebrities. The very public drop seems to signal serious trouble between Swift and her close friends. Swift’s own Instagram account doesn’t offer any further information. She doesn’t follow any accounts on her public profile. Interestingly enough, Kelce also doesn’t follow Swift on the social media platform.
What is going on between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively?
Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have been close friends for years, but rumors are swirling that their friendship has cooled significantly as lawsuits surrounding the production of It Ends With Us heat up. Swift wasn’t directly connected to the production but was dragged into the legal drama through messages sent by Lively.
According to court documents, during a meeting at Lively’s New York penthouse to discuss script revisions, Swift arrived and expressed support for Lively’s changes. Baldoni has argued that Swift’s stopover was strategic. In court documents, he asserted that Swift’s presence and endorsement were an attempt to pressure him into accepting Lively’s version of the script.
Lively also referred to Swift and Reynolds as her “dragons” in a text message to Baldoni. Baldoni’s legal team has argued that the statement was an “intimidation tactic” and a power play because of her Hollywood connections. While Swift hasn’t discussed the situation openly, rumors have swirled that she’s unhappy that Lively used her star status as leverage without her consent. According to Music Times, Swift has distanced herself from Lively and Reynolds. While there is limited evidence to support the claim, Lively hasn’t been seen with Swift recently. Kelce’s Instagram antics don’t look good for the health of the companionships, either.
Swift is not a defendant in the lawsuit. Still, she might end up involved. There is speculation that she will be called to testify during the trial. It is expected to begin next year.
