JUST IN: NFL Superstar Travis Kelce Blasts Justin Baldoni for Involving Taylor Swift in $400M Legal Drama, Calls Out His “Desperate Tactics” Amid Feud with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Travis Kelce Slams Justin Baldoni for Dragging Taylor Swift Into Explosive ‘It Ends With Us’ Feud with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Travis Kelce, NFL superstar and boyfriend of Taylor Swift, has come out swinging against Justin Baldoni after the actor and producer involved Swift in his messy $400 million legal battle with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Baldoni, who is embroiled in a scandal over the upcoming It Ends With Us adaptation, has faced backlash for naming Swift in the ongoing dispute, prompting Kelce to publicly call him out.
Kelce Defends Taylor Swift
In a statement that quickly went viral, Kelce blasted Baldoni’s decision to involve Swift in his legal drama, calling it a “cheap and unnecessary tactic.” Sources close to Kelce revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs star was furious over the pop icon being dragged into a situation that had nothing to do with her.
“Taylor doesn’t deserve to be pulled into Justin’s feud with his co-stars,” Kelce reportedly said to friends. “She’s worked hard to stay focused on her music and personal life, and this kind of attention is completely unfair to her.”
The Drama Surrounding ‘It Ends With Us’
The controversy began when Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us. In an unexpected move, Baldoni also named Taylor Swift in his legal filings, claiming she had influenced certain creative decisions related to the project.
Swift’s alleged involvement was tied to her rumored connection to the film’s soundtrack and promotional efforts. However, neither Swift nor her team has confirmed these claims, making Baldoni’s decision to involve her appear speculative at best.
Kelce’s Criticism
Kelce didn’t mince words in his criticism of Baldoni. “Dragging Taylor’s name into this messy, personal feud is a low blow,” he reportedly said. “She’s not involved in this situation, and using her name for attention is disrespectful.”
Kelce also hinted that Baldoni’s actions were an attempt to deflect attention from his own controversies, including the harassment claims filed against him by Blake Lively. “It’s obvious he’s trying to shift the narrative, but it’s not going to work,” Kelce added.
Fans Rally Behind Swift
Fans of Swift and Kelce have taken to social media to express their support for the singer, praising Kelce for standing up for her. The hashtag #LeaveTaylorOut trended on Twitter, with many criticizing Baldoni for pulling Swift into a legal and creative dispute that seemingly has no direct connection to her.
“Taylor Swift doesn’t owe anyone anything. Let her live her life and keep her out of your mess,” one fan wrote.
What’s Next?
The It Ends With Us adaptation continues to face uncertainty as the legal battle rages on. Neither Taylor Swift nor her representatives have commented on the matter, but Kelce’s bold defense of her has added another layer to the already explosive controversy.
With tensions running high and public sentiment turning against Baldoni, this Hollywood feud shows no signs of quieting down anytime soon. For now, fans of Taylor Swift are rallying behind the singer, while Kelce’s protective stance has only cemented his growing reputation as her loyal supporter.
