Overview

• The Kelces publicly re-posted a New Heights Film Club review of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in which they call Blake Lively a friend and praise her breakout performance.
• Entertainment Weekly and other outlets note the video was originally recorded and shared with paid members in October 2024 before being added to YouTube this week.
• The timing near Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl release has prompted fan and media speculation about a thaw with Lively, though that interpretation remains unconfirmed.
• TMZ reports, citing an unnamed source, that Lively was pleasantly surprised by the comments and appreciated the praise.
• Context: Lively’s legal fight with Justin Baldoni had briefly drawn in Swift via a subpoena, and recent reporting says a judge ruled Swift will not be deposed; Page Six previously noted Travis Kelce unfollowed Ryan Reynolds in April.
