Were Travis Kelce and Ryan Reynolds quietly feuding before Taylor Swift cut ties with Blake Lively over legal drama?
What began as one of the most high-profile Hollywood friendships is now rumored to be unraveling behind closed doors. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once inseparable, have reportedly 'halted' their close bond after Lively became entangled in a legal battle with actor-director Justin Baldoni. But while Swift's withdrawal may appear sudden, sources suggest a deeper strain may have already existed—particularly between Swift's boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, and Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds. Taylor Swift was caught off guard after being named in legal drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni The tension emerged publicly when Lively filed a lawsuit involving Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star, alleging reputational damage. In the process, Taylor Swift was unexpectedly pulled into the narrative, labeled by Lively as one of her 'dragons' in court documents. Baldoni briefly subpoenaed Swift before withdrawing, a move critics said was an attempt to weaponize her fame. Insiders claim Swift was 'blindsided' and had no desire to be associated with the legal mess. 'Taylor wants no part in this drama,' one source revealed. In response, she reportedly distanced herself from Lively altogether, leading to what appears to be a quiet but firm end to their once-public friendship. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Global Indices Are on the Move — Time to Trade!

According to reports, Kelce 'never vibed with Reynolds,' finding him more performative than authentic. Though he kept polite company at events, insiders now claim Kelce's discomfort may have foreshadowed Swift's eventual break from the couple. This subtle clash between NFL grit and Hollywood glam may have quietly driven a wedge between the two power couples long before legal issues erupted.

The awards to Urvasi and Vijayaraghavan enriched Malayalam cinema, he said. However, he criticised the jury for choosing the controversial film 'The Kerala Story' for awards and said the awards were an insult to Kerala. Without mentioning the name of the movie, Vijayan said, "The jury has disrespected the esteemed tradition of Indian cinema, which stands for religious harmony and national upliftment, by choosing for awards a film built on lies, aimed at defaming Kerala and spreading communalism. This is part of the Sangh Parivar agenda to use cinema as a weapon to implement their divisive agenda. We strongly protest this action. Every Malayali and believer in democracy across the country should raise their voice against this injustice. We must unite against the politics that turn art into a tool for promoting communalism."

He said the film's sole intention was to spread religious hatred.
