Taylor Swift’s eagle-eyed fans noticed that Travis Kelce unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram over the weekend.
A Reddit user called out the social media shade Sunday, writing, “Yikes.”
Another Redditor shared screenshots showing that Kelce, 35, did follow Reynolds, 48, at one point but does not any longer. The actor, however, still follows the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as of Monday morning. “They started following each other a while ago and Travis liked his posts prior to the drama,” one fan wrote, referencing Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively, recently dragging Swift into her and Justin Baldoni’s legal war. Kelce’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Swifties first noticed Reynolds and Kelce following each other in August 2023, shortly after the NFL player began dating Swift. While the “Cruel Summer” singer, 35, and Kelce were an item at the time, they did not go public with their romance for another month. “The biggest giveaway when Taylor begins dating someone or ends things is when all of her friends, especially Ryan Reynolds makes edits to their IG following list,” one social media user noted at the time.
Reynolds has been friends with Swift for years, as Lively, 37, and the Grammy winner have been close since 2015. Swift has even made headlines for referencing the couple’s children in multiple songs over the years. Since her and Kelce’s love story began, the pair have double dated in New York City with Lively and Reynolds.
However, rumors swirled earlier this year that Swift and Lively experienced a friendship fallout amid the actress’s drama with her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director. Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024, and when he filed a counter complaint the following month, he name-dropped Swift in his lawsuit. He included a text from Lively referring to Reynolds and Swift as her “dragons” protecting her in the industry.
Page Six reported in February that Swift, who reportedly will be subpoenaed in the court case, felt “used” over the alleged message. “Taylor really wishes Blake hadn’t dragged her into this whole situation,” a source told us, with another insisting the pop star was “not afraid” of being deposed. We heard earlier this month that the “Gossip Girl” alum has issued a “genuine” and “heartfelt” apology to Swift, with the pair “mov[ing] forward” with “no hard feelings.”
