Travis Kelce reportedly urged fiancée Taylor Swift to be careful with her blind support for longtime friend Blake Lively.
In text messages between Taylor and Blake (the messages were made public recently), the friends talked about “doofus” It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni and also discussed their own changing dynamic.
At one point, Blake reached out to Taylor about feeling like something was off between them and admitted that she’d been a “bad friend” who only talked about her own problems.
In response, the Karma hitmaker pointed out that Blake’s messages felt different, writing, “You said the word ‘we’ like 18 times. I just kinda miss my funny, dark, normal speaking friend who talks to me as herself, not like. A plural unit… When it’s a group I’m hearing from, I feel distanced from you even more than we are geographically.”
She added, “And you don’t need to apologize. Just come back please.”
Blake then acknowledged her behaviour and expressed that she wished to return to her normal dynamic and told Taylor that she didn’t have to reply to her lengthy message since she was busy with the Eras Tour.
However, the friends ultimately seem to have grown more distanced after the Grammy winner’s name was dragged into the lawsuit by Justin, who alleged that Blake used her to force him to accept script rewrites that she did.
Now insiders say that Travis was the one who pointed out to the Love Story singer that Blake’s messages seemed off.
“Travis really loves Taylor and isn’t afraid to speak up if he thinks it’s in her best interest,” an insider told The Sun.
“He was very much in her ear, as he believed Blake’s behaviour toward Taylor felt off, and she should take a closer look at the dynamic, saying it wasn’t how a real friend should act,” the mole continued.
“She was encouraged by Travis to address the situation head-on and be honest about how she was feeling,” they added.
The tipster noted that the NFL hunk “didn’t dislike Blake” but didn’t think she was treating Taylor fairly.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift got engaged last year and are expected to get married in June this year.
