Blake Lively Reacts to Jason Kelce's "Jeggings" Critique of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Blake Lively agrees there could have been more magic in the pants.

 Jason Kelce and his brother Travis Kelce recently shared their reaction to Blake’s 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants for the first time, with the former Philadelphia Eagles center  expressing his grevience with the lack of magic in the pants. And the longtime BFF of Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift admitted he wasn’t too far off.

“@jasonkelce being a natural investigative journalist, sniffling out the hiding truth,” Blake wrote on her Instagram Story on Oct. 18, over the New Heights podcast clip. “Author @ann_brashares shared with us when making the movie that she actually added the pants after the book was written because she was given the note to add a ‘magical element.’ Mind you, this is when Harry Potter hit, so everyone was looking for magic in youth books.”

The Gossip Girl alum added, “She used the pants as a tangible item to illustrate the sometimes inexplicable magic of the female bond. One that invisibly connects us, near or far. And then you have the Traveling Pants.”

And Blake also took note of Jason’s critique that the jeans weren’t jeans and more so stretchy jeggings.

“Sisterhood of the Traveling Jeggings didn’t quite hit,” she wrote. “Now it would be Sisterhood of the Printed Jean Pajama Bottoms. I’m here for it all.”

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants stars Blake, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel as a group of childhood friends who go their separate ways and stay connected through a shared pair of jeans.

For his part, Jason didn’t understand the logic behind the pants bringing the girls together.

“The pants really didn’t have much to do with the plot,” he said on the Oct. 16 episode of the New Heights Film Club. “I’m a little upset that the pants were the storyline. I see what you’re saying. I didn’t feel like they did a damn thing, I was like, ‘Listen you don’t need the pants.’ It was kinda just a reason for them to be in a club even though they had been friends.”

However, it was his wife Kylie Kelce who was able to articulate to her husband of 5years that they were a symbol of friendship.

“I guess I kinda get the pants,” he said. “I wanted the pants to be more of a major part of it. I wanted them to actually have magic in some way. And when they didn’t and they were just a pair of jeggings that fit everybody’s shape, that was a little bit disappointing.”

Still, both Travis and Jason agreed on the acting, especially Blake’s role as Bridget Vreeland, the athlete of the group.

“She did absolutely wonderful as Bridget,” Jason noted, with Travis adding, of Taylor’s pal, “Might have been a little biased, but I thought Bridget’s story was the most relatable and most fun.”
