Truth behind Taylor Swift and Keleigh Tellerâs broken friendship revealed â and how Blake Lively was involved
Keleigh Teller allegedly pulled back from her friendship with Taylor Swift after discovering that Blake Lively alluded to the pop star as her âdragonâ during her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
âKeleigh didnât want to be a part of it,â an insider told the Daily Mail in an interview published Sunday, referring to how Lively allegedly told her âIt Ends With Usâ co-star that she had âdragonsâ who âprotectâ and âfightâ for her ahead of accusing him of sexual harassment.
Per the source, the wife of Miles Teller âcouldnât believe they were talking like that to each other.â Additionally, Lively, 38, allegedly âfelt threatenedâ by Swiftâs âclosenessâ with Keleigh after the duo, who met in 2014, started hanging out more when the Grammy winner, 36, started dating her now-fiancĂ©, Travis Kelce, also 36, in 2023.
The source told the outlet that the âGossip Girlâ alum allegedly âtried to tear their friendship apart to be Taylorâs number one.â
Lively also allegedly became jealous when 2023 paparazzi photos showed Keleigh, 33, and Swift leaving the Electric Lady Studios in New York City.
An insider claimed that the actress was ânot generally very welcoming of other people into the fold.â
Keleigh and Swiftâs friendship, however, allegedly grew more strained when the internet personality dropped out of attending an awards show with the latter due to personal reasons.
According to the Daily Mail, the âLoverâ songstress was ânot empatheticâ and the move resulted in an argument. âFriends told Keleigh to protect her mental health; she needs to take space, but they were still in contact here and there,â the source said.
Keleigh allegedly still attempted to keep Swift close but allegedly didnât feel like a priority, with a source claiming that the hitmaker didnât reach out to Keleigh or Miles when they lost their home during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
âThat was the nail in the coffin of the friendship,â one insider alleged, with another claiming that Swift was âexhaustedâ and âonly in touch with very few peopleâ after wrapping up two years of her record-breaking Eras Tour.
Feud rumors heightened when Keleigh, who would attend Kansas City Chiefs games with Swift, and Miles sat with fellow Philadelphia Eagles fans instead of the pop star when the team faced off against the Chiefs in the 2025 Super Bowl.
Miles, however, told People in an interview that he and Keleigh were eager to support their team, the Eagles, and âbe in a sea of green.â Despite rift rumblings, the actor appeared on Travis and Jason Kelceâs âNew Heightsâ podcast in November 2025 to promote his film âEternity.â
Per the Daily Mail, Keleigh allegedly has hope to reconcile with Swift and is âheartbroken.â However, she allegedly refuses to attend the âCruel Summerâ singerâs forthcoming nuptials to Kelce to avoid looking âlike a doormat.â
Reps for Swift, Kelce, and the Tellers werenât immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Throughout 2023 and early 2024, Keleigh was photographed at dinners, birthday celebrations, awards shows, Eras Tour concerts and Chiefs games with Swift.
However, the duoâs last public sighting was at the 2024 Super Bowl suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas when the Chiefs played against the San Francisco 49ers.
