Blake Lively<\/strong>\u00a0does not appreciate Taylor Swift\u2019s fianc\u00e9,\u00a0Travis Kelce,\u00a0<\/strong>casually name-dropping her.<\/span> On a recent episode of his New Heights<\/strong> podcast,<\/strong> Kelce casually addressed Lively as a friend. This hasn\u2019t gone down well with Lively, who believes Kelce is simply putting up the nice guy act in front of the media.<\/p>\n Blake Lively is not buying into Travis Kelce\u2019s nice guy act. According to Rob Shuter of Shuter Scoop<\/a>, Kelce took the Gossip Girl star by surprise when he casually referred to her as a \u201cfriend\u201d in his New Heights podcast episode.<\/p>\n Inside sources believe this was a damage control move rather than friendship and honesty between the parties. A friend of Lively\u2019s reveals, on the condition of anonymity, \u201cShe was like, why now? He\u2019s been silent for months, and suddenly he\u2019s name-dropping her like everything\u2019s fine. It felt manipulative.\u201d<\/p>\n Inside sources reveal this comment by Kelce, which has rekindled the alleged cold war and animosity between Swift and Lively, once-upon-a-time best friends.<\/p>\n Furthermore, their close friendship took a hit for the worse when Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, dragged Swift\u2019s name into their public lawsuit.<\/p>\n It was then revealed that Swift was hurt by her friend, Lively, dragging her into this public controversy. The Shallows star even apologized to Swift for dragging the pop star into this legal battle. She also hoped to revive their friendship on good terms again (via Page Six<\/a>).<\/p>\n According to the anonymous source, \u201cTaylor pulled back completely. Now Travis is trying to smooth it over publicly \u2014 but it\u2019s just stirring things up again.\u201d<\/p>\n Sources reveal that Lively<\/a> feels \u201churt\u201d and isn\u2019t buying into Kelce\u2019s nice guy act. \u201cTravis might charm NFL fans, but Blake sees right through it,\u201d the source revealed.<\/p>\n Eagle-eyed fans also believe that Swift\u2019s new song \u201cCancelled\u201d is directed towards Lively. It is believed that the lyrics \u2014 \u201cGood thing I like my friends cancelled \/ I like \u2019em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal \/ Like my whiskey sour \/ And poison thorny flowers\u201d \u2014 directly reference Lively.<\/p>\n The post Travis Kelce Name-Dropping Blake Lively \u2018Felt Manipulative\u2019, Sources Say<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blake Lively\u00a0does not appreciate Taylor Swift\u2019s fianc\u00e9,\u00a0Travis Kelce,\u00a0casually name-dropping her.
