Taylor Swift is at another Super Bowl as the girlfriend of Travis Kelce looks to support her man to another Lombardi Trophy and a historic 'three-peat' for the Kansas City Chiefs.
But unlike in 2024, actor and director Blake Lively is nowhere to be seen.
The close friends spent large parts of last year's Super Bowl arm in arm, alongside rapper Ice Spice, as they cheered on the Chiefs to a victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Ice Spice and Swift travelled to New Orleans for this year's big game but the It Ends With Us star, wife to Ryan Reynolds, was nowhere to be seen.

Lively is currently embroiled in a heated legal battle against her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni.
For months before Lively filed the lawsuit and Baldoni countered, there had been rumours of an on-set feud between the pair with them seemingly avoiding each other on the press tour to market the flick.
Lively alleges Baldoni's PR team helped orchestrate the online backlash she faced during these rumours, with his counter-case saying Lively is now trying to 'fix her negative reputation'.
She also claims sexual harassment among her allegations; something Baldoni denies.
The legal cases mention Swift directly, with Lively mentioning her as 'her most trusted partner' alongside husband Reynolds.
Swift and Lively go back to 2015, with the pop star godmother to the couple's children.
The lawsuit alleges Lively said that they are the pair 'I go to first with anything creative I touch'.
She went on to allegedly describe Swift and Reynolds as her 'dragons', saying: "We all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine."
But she isn't at the Super Bowl with her bezzie.
Why isn't Blake Lively at the 2025 Super Bowl?
"Blake is not planning to join Taylor at the Super Bowl this year," one source told Entertainment Weekly.
"They had a blast together last year, but this year Taylor is bringing others along."
So there we are, Swift had apparently decided to just bring other mates along to the big game.
Fans weren't entirely on board with this messaging, with one writing: "More like Taylor is not planning on bringing Blake."
A second posted: "Taylor doesn’t want to be related or too close to Blake right now.
"The case with Baldoni is turning against her."
And a third said similar, adding: "As expected, given all the negative publicity with the lawsuits."
LADbible contacted the representatives of Swift and Lively for comment and clarity on the situation.
