The most anticipated celebrity wedding of the decade is reportedly under threat from an unlikely source: a legal battle in a New York courtroom. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to tie the knot this summer, but the Kansas City Chiefs star is said to be grappling with the possibility that their nuptials may have to be postponed as the bride could be called to court for Blake Lively's ongoing case against Justin Baldoni.

Swift's close bond with Lively dragged her into a dispute involving the latter and her It Ends With Us co-star. Since the singer could be called to testify in court, her groom is worried Lively's legal battle will affect their wedding plans.

Legal Summons Threatens Swift's Summer Nuptials

Travis Kelce is allegedly 'extremely stressed' that his upcoming wedding to Taylor Swift could be cancelled or rescheduled. The primary concern is the possibility that Swift may be called to testify in the ongoing legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

The trial will begin on 18 May, and it is expected to run for weeks. Swift and Kelce are reportedly set to tie the knot on 13 June in Rhode Island, so there are fears that the case will affect their wedding schedule.

If the trial dates conflict with the wedding schedule, the couple may be forced to push back their ceremony. Sources close to the athlete suggest he is frustrated by how an external legal matter has intruded on his private preparations.

'While he remains supportive, he can't stop thinking about how unfair it feels — to Taylor and to himself,' an unnamed source told The Sun. 'The possibility of having to cancel or reschedule plans because of a court appearance would be a massive disappointment in his eyes.'

Although the family is trying 'not to overthink,' the groom-to-be can't reportedly stop talking about his concern. Their parents reportedly reminded the 'extremely stressed' Kelce to 'take things one step at a time and stay focused on the wedding.'

Unsealed Text Messages Reveal Private Exchanges

The legal battle between Lively and Baldoni has already resulted in the public release of private communications between the All I See You star and the 'Cruel Summer' singer. Unsealed text messages between Swift and Lively have provided a rare look into how the two navigated the release of the film It Ends With Us.

In one notable exchange, it was revealed that Swift essentially dug a movie out of its grave for Lively. The billionaire artist was also caught calling Baldoni a 'b***h' with a 'tiny violin.'

These messages were entered into evidence to establish the timeline of the film's promotional strategy. However, the revelation of these private thoughts has cast a shadow over Swift's reputation for maintaining a strictly controlled public image.

Swift Feels Exposed And Distances Herself From Lively Drama

Following the unsealing of the documents, reports suggest that Taylor Swift feels deeply exposed and violated. The singer is known for her meticulous privacy, and having her casual conversations read in a courtroom has caused a significant rift in her friendship with Lively.

One insider told People that Swift was only 'being a friend' to Lively at the time and she 'never thought private messages would become public.'

'Taylor is just trying to stay away from the drama,' the source added.

Meanwhile, some sources claimed that Swift was not just distancing herself from Lively but also ending their friendship. Another tipster alleged that the 'Shake It Off' hitmaker 'never wanted to be part of this story,' so she's drawing a clear boundary and closing her doors on Lively.

Swift and Lively were among those with the most powerful alliances in Hollywood. Their mutual admiration was evident, with Swift naming her single 'Betty' after Lively and Ryan Reynolds' third child. The Grammy winner also mentioned their other two kids, James and Inez, in the track.

The celebrity pals were last seen together at the 2024 Super Bowl. Swift was at the event to support Kelce, who was playing for the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers. In 2025, Swift attended the annual event with Ice Spice. Lively noticeably opted out.
