Travis Kelce Defends Taylor Swift’s Bestie Blake Lively Amid Controversy Over ‘It Ends With Us’

Travis Kelce has Blake Lively’s back amid the drama surrounding her latest film, “It Ends With Us.”

The Kansas City Chiefs player, whose girlfriend Taylor Swift is one of Lively’s besties, praised the actress’ “Gossip Girl” role on Wednesday’s episode of his and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.

Jason, 36, kicked off the conversation by asking, “What is or are your guilty pleasure shows, something you’re slightly embarrassed to admit?”

Travis Kelce gushed over Blake Lively on Wednesday’s “New Heights” episode.

The athlete admitted his guilty pleasure show is “Gossip Girl,” which stars Taylor Swift’s BFF.

“I used to not tell everybody that I watched,” Kelce confessed.

Travis, 34, replied, “I used to not tell everybody that I watched ‘Gossip Girl’ growing up.”

When Jason joked that his younger brother “should be embarrassed about that,” Travis doubled down and said, “Dude, it’s so good though.”

Jason clarified that he had never watched, even asking if Travis meant to refer to “Gilmore Girls.”

The show ran for six seasons from 2007 to 2012.

“If you watch [‘Gossip Girl,’] you can get in deep,” Travis continued. “Oh, my god. Chace Crawford. Blake Lively. Shoot me, but I forget the rest of the names of the cast.”

Travis called the teen drama, which ran on The CW for six seasons from 2007 to 2012, an “awesome” series.

“It’s a New York high school show with a lot of drama and basically everybody gossiping and talking s–t on each other,” Travis explained.

He and the retired Philadelphia Eagles player both agreed that they weren’t actually embarrassed about any of the shows they loved.

Travis noted, “I don’t care. You can’t judge me dude. It is what it is.”

The tight end, notably, has bonded with Lively, 37, since he started dating Swift last summer.

Most recently, Travis and the “Shake It Off” singer spent time with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, at Swift’s Rhode Island mansion.

The August gathering, which also included Gigi Hadid, Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, marked the first time Lively had been spotted amid “It Ends With Us” backlash.

She sparked controversy last month over the promotional campaign for the movie, which was adapted from a Colleen Hoover book of the same name portraying domestic abuse.

The actress allegedly didn’t see eye to eye with co-star Justin Baldoni.

Not only was Lively criticized for promoting her haircare line while doing press, but she also found herself under fire for encouraging fans to wear florals to see the film.

Netizens subsequently resurfaced old interview clips of the blond beauty being rude to a reporter and repeatedly using transgender slurs.

On top of that, speculation swirled that Lively was feuding with her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, with sources telling Page Six that the “Jane the Virgin” alum made her feel “uncomfortable” on set.

Lively was also slammed for past interviews that resurfaced amid the drama.

Swift and Lively have attended several of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games.

Another insider told us that there was “obvious” tension between Lively and Baldoni, 40, and that they butted heads over the final edit of the film, which premiered Aug. 9.

Lively seemingly responded to the backlash by re-sharing an interview with the BBC in which she said of her character in the film: “She is not just a survivor, and she’s not just a victim, and while those are huge things to be, they are not her identity.”

The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star has been by Swift’s side at several of Travis’ NFL games amid the couple’s blooming relationship.
