Keleigh Teller allegedly pulled back from her friendship with Taylor Swift after discovering that Blake Lively alluded to the pop star as her “dragon” during her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
“Keleigh didn’t want to be a part of it,” an insider told the Daily Mail in an interview published Sunday, referring to how Lively allegedly told her “It Ends With Us” co-star that she had “dragons” who “protect” and “fight” for her ahead of accusing him of sexual harassment.
Per the source, the wife of Miles Teller “couldn’t believe they were talking like that to each other.”
Additionally, Lively, 38, allegedly “felt threatened” by Swift’s “closeness” with Keleigh after the duo, who met in 2014, started hanging out more when the Grammy winner, 36, started dating her now-fiancé, Travis Kelce, also 36, in 2023.
The source told the outlet that the “Gossip Girl” alum allegedly “tried to tear their friendship apart to be Taylor’s number one.”
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 “not generally very welcoming of other people into the fold.”
Keleigh and Swift’s 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 “Lover” songstress was “not empathetic” and the move resulted in an argument.
“Friends told Keleigh to protect her mental health; she needs to take space, but they were still in contact here and there,” the source said.
Keleigh allegedly still attempted to keep Swift close but allegedly didn’t feel like a priority, with a source claiming that the hitmaker didn’t reach out to Keleigh or Miles when they lost their home during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
“That was the nail in the coffin of the friendship,” one insider alleged, with another claiming that Swift was “exhausted” and “only in touch with very few people” 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 “be in a sea of green.”
Despite rift rumblings, the actor appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast in November 2025 to promote his film “Eternity.”
Per the Daily Mail, Keleigh allegedly has hope to reconcile with Swift and is “heartbroken.” However, she allegedly refuses to attend the “Cruel Summer” singer’s forthcoming nuptials to Kelce to avoid looking “like a doormat.”
Reps for Swift, Kelce, and the Tellers weren’t 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 duo’s 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.
Additionally, Keleigh, who used to actively share photos with Swift online, hasn’t posted a photo with the award winner since April 2024.
Page Six also exclusively reported that Keleigh and Miles weren’t invited to Swift and Kelce’s wedding, which is scheduled for July 3rd at Madison Square Garden in NYC.
When previously asked if he was attending the wedding, Miles told Parade magazine, “I don’t know. That is gonna be — I imagine — one impressive wedding. But yeah, just very happy for them. I’ve known Trav for a while, too, and I think they’re having a blast. That’s the point.”
