Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s fairy-tale romance may be hitting an unexpected snag as legal drama involving one of Swift’s closest friends threatens to overshadow their long-rumored wedding plans. According to reports, the NFL star is feeling mounting pressure as the possibility of a court appearance by Swift looms just weeks before the couple is said to be planning their summer nuptials.
The stress reportedly stems from Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, a case that could pull Swift into a New York courtroom as a potential witness. Swift’s close friendship with Lively has unexpectedly linked her to the high-profile dispute, raising concerns that trial obligations could collide with wedding plans that insiders claim have been carefully scheduled months in advance.
Sources say Kelce is “extremely stressed” by the situation, particularly because the trial is expected to begin on May 18 and could last several weeks. With Swift and Kelce reportedly eyeing a June 13 wedding date in Rhode Island, the overlap has fueled anxiety that the ceremony could be delayed or even postponed altogether. Those close to the couple suggest Kelce is struggling with the idea that an outside legal matter could disrupt what is meant to be one of the happiest moments of their lives.
While Kelce is said to be supportive of Swift, insiders claim he feels frustrated by the circumstances, viewing the potential disruption as unfair to both of them. Family members have reportedly encouraged him to stay calm and focus on the wedding itself, but the uncertainty has made that easier said than done.
The legal case has already had ripple effects beyond scheduling concerns. Recently unsealed court documents revealed private text messages between Swift and Lively, giving the public an unusually intimate look into their behind-the-scenes conversations surrounding the film It Ends With Us. The messages reportedly show Swift offering support and sharing candid opinions, content that was never meant for public consumption.
The exposure of those texts has reportedly left Swift feeling deeply uncomfortable. Sources claim the pop superstar feels violated by the sudden loss of privacy and is struggling with the reality that personal conversations are now part of a legal record. While she was simply supporting a close friend, insiders say Swift never anticipated becoming entangled in such a public controversy.
As a result, some reports suggest Swift is actively distancing herself from the drama. There is even speculation that the situation has placed strain on her once-tight friendship with Lively, with claims that Swift is now setting firm boundaries to protect her personal life and public image. No official confirmation has been made, but observers have noted that the two stars have not been seen together recently.
Swift and Lively were long considered one of Hollywood’s strongest celebrity friendships, frequently supporting each other publicly and privately. Swift famously referenced Lively’s children in her music, and the two were last seen together cheering on Kelce at the 2024 Super Bowl. Their absence as a duo at major events since has only fueled speculation.
As the legal battle continues and wedding rumors swirl, all eyes remain on whether the courtroom drama will force one of pop culture’s most talked-about couples to hit pause on their plans—or if they’ll find a way to keep their big day on track despite the chaos.
