Taylor Swift’s engagement to Kansas City Chiefs star
Travis Kelce has been met with overwhelming excitement from fans and public congratulations from her inner circle. Celebrities like Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and Sabrina Carpenter all rushed to share their support for the couple. But one name missing from the celebrations has caught the public’s attention—Blake Lively.
Once inseparable, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively now appear to be living in different worlds
Swift and Lively’s friendship blossomed back in 2015, and for years, the duo was nearly inseparable. The actress even attended NFL games to support Kelce alongside the pop icon, and Swift proudly became the godmother to Lively’s children with husband Ryan Reynolds. Their bond was once described as sister-like, making the absence of acknowledgment now even more striking.
Sources close to Lively revealed she has chosen not to reach out to Swift following her engagement news. “Blake didn’t reach out [following the engagement announcement] and isn’t going to,” a source told the Daily Mail. “This isn’t the time. What would be the point of reaching out now? It really makes no sense. [Lively] has bigger fish to fry.”
Legal battles and personal fallout reportedly drove a wedge between the two stars
The strain reportedly stems from Lively’s legal dispute involving her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
During the case, Swift’s name surfaced, with Baldoni’s team allegedly issuing a subpoena to the singer. According to People, “Their friendship has halted. Taylor wants no part in this drama.”
Insiders claim Swift felt “really hurt” after being dragged into the legal firestorm. The rift is rumored to have influenced Swift’s upcoming album, with speculation that the track Ruin the Friendship references her fractured bond with Lively.
