PARK CITY, UTAH: For months, fans saw Taylor Swift everywhere- from performing in her sold-out Eras Tour concerts to cheering on boyfriend Travis Kelce from the stands during the Kansas City Chiefs' games.

But lately, the pop superstar has seemingly vanished from her usual hotspots, leaving fans wondering 'where is Taylor Swift?' Insiders have claimed it has to do with Blake Lively's legal drama.

Taylor Swift feeling 'used' amid Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's legal feud

According to insiders, the 35-year-old songstress is keeping a low profile amid rising tensions between her longtime friend Blake Lively and actor-director Justin Baldoni.

The legal feud- a messy fallout from the troubled film 'It Ends With Us'- has reportedly left Swift feeling “used” and estranged from Lively.

The drama stems from Lively’s bombshell December complaint accusing Baldoni of harassment on set- a claim Baldoni countered with a defamation lawsuit in January.

Both parties deny the allegations, but Baldoni’s countersuit included alleged text messages referencing Swift and claimed she was present during a heated meeting at Lively's New York apartment last year.

While Swift strongly denies being involved in the film’s production, Baldoni alleged that Swift witnessed Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds aggressively confronting him about script changes- an encounter that left Baldoni “in shock".

A source previously told Daily Mail that Swift never intended to attend the meeting but arrived at Lively's penthouse only to find it already underway.

The fallout has reportedly fractured Swift and Lively's once-close bond.

The 'Karma' singer, who is godmother to Lively's three daughters, is now said to be distancing herself from her friend.

“She feels ‘used’ and is no longer speaking to Blake,” a source revealed. Clearly, the 'Lover' singer is not happy about getting dragged into all the drama between Lively and Baldoni.

Taylor Swift finds solace in Travis Kelce

Instead of facing the media storm head-on, Taylor Swift has found comfort in her relationship with Travis Kelce.

The couple recently returned from a romantic getaway following the Kansas City Chiefs' disappointing Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

On the evening of March 10, the pair was spotted enjoying a quiet date night in Park City, Utah- their first public sighting in weeks.

“She’s been with Kelce,” the insider confirmed. “She’s quite content playing house with the man she loves," they added.

Kelce’s sprawling 17,000-square-foot Kansas City mansion- reportedly purchased with privacy in mind- has become Swift’s safe haven as she steers clear of public life.



 

Taylor Swift puts friendships on pause

Even Taylor Swift’s close-knit circle- which includes Brittany Mahomes, Zoe Kravitz, Ashley Avignone, Gigi Hadid, Ice Spice, and the Haim sisters- has reportedly seen less of her.

“She’s still in touch with a select few but currently doesn’t want to be dragging anyone else into this mess," the source said.

While Swift denies any creative involvement in 'It Ends With Us', the looming legal battle may soon put the spotlight back on her again.

According to reports, Swift could be subpoenaed and questioned under oath if Lively's case heads to court in March 2026.
