Internet sleuths reacted with both surprise and concern at the turn of events. While many saw Kelce’s gesture as a supportive gesture towards Swift, others believe it sheds light on a deeper rift between the two couples.
Insiders, on the other hand, suggest the move is not motivated by personal problems, but it’s instead entirely based on optics, with both Kelce and Swift trying to distance themselves from the legal controversy.

It remains unclear whether Kelce’s move signals a complete severing of ties with Reynolds or is simply a precaution to maintain a low profile. Meanwhile, representatives of each party have declined to comment on the matter.

Regardless of motivation, the fallout marks a stark shift in dynamics among the celebrities.
Swift and Kelce, who began dating in 2023, frequently socialized with Lively and Reynolds, going as far as to attend double dates in New York City, and cheer Kelce during his football matches.

Travis Kelce first followed Reynolds in 2023, before making things official with the singer. At the time, Swift’s fans—who had grown accustomed to looking at her Instagram for clues on her personal life—saw the “follow” as an informal confirmation of Kelce and Swift’s relationship status.
