Summary
- Travis Kelce claims to be biased towards Blake Lively's debut role as Bridget in 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants'
- Kelce brothers praise Lively's performance, despite joking about her non-athletic running
- Timing of podcast episode release raises questions about Swift and Lively's friendship status

In a surprising turn of events, NFL star Travis Kelce has openly expressed his bias towards Blake Lively's debut role as Bridget in the 2005 film 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.' During a recent episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, Kelce and his brother Jason discussed the film, with Jason describing Lively's character as "tall, strong, bold, beautiful, athletic."
While the brothers joked about Bridget's non-athletic running in the movie, Travis Kelce continued to praise Lively's performance, calling her story the "most relatable and probably the most fun." The timing of the podcast episode's release, which was recorded nearly a year ago in October 2024, has raised questions about the status of Lively's friendship with Taylor Swift.
Fans are now curious about the alleged "bad blood" between the two celebrities, especially after Swift's recent album 'The Life of a Showgirl' included a song where she hums about how she likes her friends "CANCELLED!" Additionally, Lively had reportedly liked one of Swift's Instagram posts, further fueling speculation about their relationship. As the legal mess between Lively and actor Justin Baldoni continues, the best friends appear to be working towards reconciling their friendship amid the rumors of burning trust and text leaks.
