'Blake's desperately hoping…': As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoy date nights, Blake Lively begs for forgiveness
Once hailed as a cornerstone of Taylor Swift's tight-knit A-list girl squad, Blake Lively is now allegedly scrambling to repair her fractured relationship with the global pop icon.
Following nearly a year of silence between the two friends, reports now suggest that Lively is 'desperate' for reconciliation—but not with the rest of the crew, including Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid. And while Taylor has seemingly moved on—with Travis Kelce by her side and a fresh circle forming around her—Lively is reportedly refusing to accept the friendship is over.
Blake Lively 'desperate' to win back Taylor Swift amid friend group fallout
The once-glamorous bond between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively came under fire when Lively's name was indirectly linked to a lawsuit involving actor-director Justin Baldoni.
According to court documents, Baldoni claimed that Swift and his co-star pressured him into revising the It Ends With Us script. Although Swift denied involvement, the mere association reportedly prompted the pop star to quietly distance herself from Lively, causing a cold drift that fans noticed at public events and on social media.

Now, insiders claim Lively is working overtime to make amends—with no intention of extending olive branches to the other women in the group.
'Blake's desperately hoping that Taylor will forgive her, but of course, there's no guarantee that she will be let back into her inner circle,' a source told a foreign magazine. 'Yes, the lines of communication are open – but when Taylor cuts someone off, it's usually for life. Still, Blake isn't ready to give up.
'
The Gossip Girl alum is reportedly enlisting mutual friends—including Hugh Jackman and Salma Hayek—to help her win back Swift's trust.
'Blake is devastated that things have gotten to this place, and she's refusing to accept that their friendship is over. She loves Taylor and misses her terribly and she'll do anything to fix this. She's been texting and calling Taylor, pleading for forgiveness,' the insider added.
Travis Kelce reportedly caught in the middle
Interestingly, sources also claim that Travis Kelce has become an unexpected figure in the drama. As Swift's relationship with the NFL star grows more serious, some insiders speculate that Kelce is quietly acting as an emotional buffer, encouraging Swift to remain guarded.
'Travis has Taylor's back completely,' one source hinted. 'He knows who's really been there for her, and who hasn't.'
As for Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and Cara Delevingne, the rift may be beyond repair. 'They acted like they were her friends, but the moment Taylor was upset, they showed their true colours,' the source concluded. 'It's something Blake will never forget.'

Travis Kelce can't stop smiling while talking about Taylor Swift's surprise TEU performance on New Heights
Travis Kelce gushes over Taylor Swift's surprise TEU appearance in viral New Heights episode. (Image via Getty) Taylor Swift didn't just show up at Tight End University, she took the mic and stole the moment. And now, on the latest episode of New Heights , Travis Kelce is opening up about that surprise performance in the most boyfriend-coded way possible. 'She went out there without practicing,' Travis said with a proud grin. 'It was pitch perfect, and she just killed it.' That's it. That's the post. Travis Kelce, tight end and certified Swiftie, continues to be Taylor's biggest fan. Taylor Swift shocked everyone with her performance at Tight End University and Travis Kelce is still in awe Let's rewind real quick. Last week, at Travis's Tight End University event in Nashville, Taylor Swift made an unannounced appearance and casually performed 'Mean' with country star Kane Brown . No backup dancers, no pop star dramatics, just her, a guitar, and that unmistakable voice. And apparently, she didn't even rehearse. On New Heights , Travis admitted she just walked on stage and delivered a flawless set without so much as a sound check. 'It was pitch perfect,' he repeated. The kind of casual flex only Taylor Swift can pull off. Travis's expression during the story? Straight-up boyfriend goals. Fans didn't just hear the words, they saw the look. In the split-screen clip now going viral, Travis can be seen smiling from ear to ear while talking about Taylor's performance. Calm, proud, and just a little stunned that she pulled it off so effortlessly. 'She just killed it,' he repeated, clearly still processing it. It's not the first time he's talked about Taylor on the pod, but this one hit different, no teasing, no jokes, just real admiration. Swifties are calling it one of their favorite Tayvis moments yet. Taylor didn't perform for promo or headlines. She did it to support Travis at his event and the energy was relaxed, real, and totally fan-first. Everyone at TEU got a once-in-a-lifetime moment, but it's clear this was special for the two of them. It was a 'just show up and vibe' kind of performance, and that's what made it so iconic. No pressure, just presence. Taylor Swift has headlined stadiums, but something about this little moment, a borrowed stage, a country duet, a surprise appearance felt more intimate. And Travis Kelce's reaction on New Heights ? That sealed it. She killed it, sure. But what fans really loved was seeing how much he loved watching her shine.

'I shouldn't just say no to any collab like that': Pokimane addresses creator controversy and regrets
Image via: Getty In November 2023, Imane 'Pokimane' Anys, one of Twitch's most prominent content creators, joined their ranks when she announced her cookie brand, Myna Snacks. The reception was anything but sweet. Fans and critics alike couldn't believe the exorbitant pricing of the product $28 for a four-pack of cookies. On her first livestream after launch, Pokimane went on the offensive against her critics, quote-tweeting complaints with responses such as 'If you're a broke boy, just say so.' The backlash, especially from her fanbase, was as swift as it was vicious, with critics accusing Beyoncé of dumbing down her supporters. A Shift in Tone Two Years Later Fast forward to June 29, 2025, almost two years after the fact, Pokimane put out an ambitious and deeply personal 25 minute video called setting the record straight about your assumptions on her YouTube channel. In that video, for the first time, she spoke about how the Myna Snacks fallout had continued to affect her, how it made her question herself, and how emotionally draining it was. 'I feel like now that it's been two years, and I've been able to really think about it, think about the mistakes I made… I've moved from like, 'Oh my God, keep me away from those kinds of things,'' she admitted. From Regret to Reflection Although she would later say the whole thing was 'a little traumatizing,' Pokimane identified it as an important crash course in branding 101 (branding, timing, and communication). Instead of completely giving up on all future brand collaborations, today she has learned to be more discerning and intentional. 'I shouldn't just say no to any collab like that,' she explained. 'But I really should learn from the past and know when would be the right time to do it, and how to do it right.' The Internet Is Mad At Pokimane Again… Pokimane's comments, thankfully, reflect a move beyond purely defensive frustration into a more thoughtful introspection. In the aftermath, she seems much more receptive to future partnerships with a reemphasized attention to authenticity, timing, and audience alignment. The Myna Snacks saga is a cautionary tale in the sense that the expectations are so high for creators that decide to become entrepreneurs. Pokimane's story serves as a reminder that stone behaviors can quickly shatter glass ambitions, a balance she seems better equipped to navigate moving forward.

Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift Seek Attention With Dates? NFL Star Reacts to Paparazzi Frenzy: ‘It Gets Thrown Out…'
NFL star Travis Kelce has spoken up about his highly public relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift. The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end made it clear that they are not putting on a show for the cameras. Instead, they're simply living their lives and having fun. Speaking on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, Kelce addressed people who think he and Swift are looking for attention. "We're having fun with it," he said. "It gets thrown out there, like we're trying to seek attention every now and then. We're just enjoying life and having fun going to hockey games, kinda introducing her to some more of the sports world." Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's date nights and public appearances In recent weeks, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have made headlines with their public outings. From date nights in New York City to watching the NHL Finals in Florida, the couple has not shied away from stepping out together. They even attended a summer wedding hand-in-hand. Kelce acknowledged that being in the spotlight comes with dating one of the world's biggest stars and said the attention is expected. However, he shared that the constant presence of cameras still surprises him. He told podcast co-host Will Compton that the paparazzi were probably the only thing he didn't fully grasp until he experienced it himself. "That's probably the craziest part, though." The NFL star shared a moment that shows just how intrusive things can get. "Like I'm just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees, there's a f------ guy with a camera," Kelce joked. He added that he can't even take a break in peace on the course. "Just don't want my meat on Page Six, know what I mean?" A weekend in New York City Over the weekend, Kelce and Swift were spotted together again. On Saturday, June 28, they were seen walking hand in hand at San Vicente West Village in New York City, as reported by PEOPLE. Kelce kept it casual in a white short-sleeve dress shirt and black pants. Swift wore a pink and white houndstooth Balmain dress with tan accessories. Their night out came just days after Swift performed at Kelce's Tight Ends & Friends concert in Nashville on June 24. The concert was part of Tight End University, the annual three-day event hosted by Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen. When the NFL shared pictures of Swift's surprise appearance on Instagram, Kelce didn't hold back. "Turn me up Tay Tay!!" he wrote in the comments. For Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, it's clear the focus is on each other, not the cameras. They're making memories, enjoying each other's worlds, and brushing off the noise.
