"She never expected it": Taylor Swift reportedly feels Blake Lively drama is 'a huge blow' amid quiet moments with Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift was close friends with Blake Lively for many years.(Image via) Travis Kelce , the tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, seems to be in a pretty happy and fulfilling relationship with Taylor Swift . After an eventful year in 2024, many things in Taylor Swift's life have gone wrong since the beginning of this year. Not only did fans boo her at Super Bowl LIX, she has also been pulled into the Blake Lively's legal drama with Justin Baldoni but now, there is an update on Taylor Swift's friendship with the actress. Taylor Swift feels getting involved in Blake Lively's legal drama with Justin Baldoni 'is a huge blow' — Life_and_Style (@Life_and_Style) According to Life & Style, a source has recently revealed that, 'Taylor still considers Blake a close friend, but she never expected to be so involved in this drama…(she is) trying to lay low after her tour and football season ended.' The source also added that Taylor Swift feels that being involved in the It Ends With Us' stars' drama 'is a huge blow.' However, Taylor Swift has stayed away from issuing any statements on this and has not confirmed any speculations yet. In the last few weeks, Taylor Swift has been spotted with Travis Kelce on dates and on family outings and the two seemed very much in love with each other. According to the Daily Mail, a source has revealed that, 'Taylor and Travis are treating this relationship as their last relationship, and when they get engaged, when they get married and when they start a family, it will be exactly when it is meant to happen.' The source also added, 'Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage..."

Blake Shelton Reacted To Criticism Of Gwen Stefani's AMAs Performance, But I Still Have A Question
Blake Shelton reacted to criticism of his and wife Gwen Stefani's American Music Awards appearance, but I still have questions. If you watched the AMAs this year, then you would have seen Blake introduce Gwen to perform a medley to mark the 20-year anniversary of her hit album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. As Blake said in the telecast, "Tonight, she's celebrating the 20th anniversary of her AMA win by performing two of her biggest hits and her biggest hit. Let's hear it for my one and only, the one and only, Gwen Stefani!" However, if you thought this was live, you'd be wrong. TikToks from attendees of the awards show itself showed that the segment had been prerecorded and then shown on screens at the awards venue. The same was true of Blake's performance. Rolling Stone notes that this is common practice — FWIW, I've been to two VMAs and never seen a prerecorded segment that was made to look like it was happening live on the same stage. The only solution is that I must be invited to more awards shows. Blake evidently caught wind of the chatter, because he took to X to write, "Just now seeing these stories about Gwen and I pretaping our performances for the AMA's. We came and performed when the show asked us to.. Really nothing else to say." Gwen then retwee— sorry, shared the post. It's certainly interesting stuff from a man who previously posted "'Stay Country Or Die Tryin'' LIVE from the @AMAs" with a link to his flag-themed performance. None of this answers my question, which is: Why is Gwen singing "Hollaback Girl" in a Southern accent? I am aware that Gwen has released country singles in recent years, and it's not uncommon for artists to reimagine their previous hits in the tone of their new projects (though Gwen has denied that her latest album is a country record). But this is just the same song with a country accent slapped on top. Gwen is from California. I have lived in the US for seven years, and moments like this make me question everything (one of my coworkers thinks she sounds the same, but I have a solid two in my corner). After a quick consultation of the internet, I can prove that there are dozens of us! Dozens! It's hard not to view this change in aesthetic from Mrs "I'm Japanese" as yet another symptom of pop culture's shift towards the right. Gwen's caught some heat for it before — two months ago, she hyped up an "enlightening intelligent beautiful interview" of Jonathan Roumie on Tucker Carlson. Well, the clip is here if you want to hear for yourself.

Blake Shelton Addresses 2025 AMAs TikTok Theories
The 2025 American Music Awards went down on Monday night, and featured performances from Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Rod Stewart, Benson Boone, Gloria Estefan, Reneé Rapp, Alex Warren, and Lainey Wilson. Not to mention Blake Shelton (who made his AMAs performance debut with "Stay Country or Die Tryin") and Gwen Stefani (who sang "The Sweet Escape," along with "Hollaback Girl" and "Swallow My Tears"). However, some fans were convinced that Blake and Gwen had pre-taped their performances and weren't actually in attendance due to their sets being broadcast on a giant screen during the show. "The craziest part of the AMAS last night was being told 'and here's Blake Shelton live' only for them to light up the stage like he's there and never saying to us it was prerecorded," one fan wrote on TikTok. "THEN, doing the same thing with Gwen Stefani!" The speculation about Blake and Gwen's performance was covered by Rolling Stone, and apparently Blake saw all the chatter because he hopped on Twitter to clear things up. "Just now seeing these stories about Gwen and I pretaping our performances for the AMA's," Blake wrote on Twitter. "We came and performed when the show asked us to.. Really nothing else to say." Welp. That's that on that!
