Well, it seems there’s some tension brewing.
Blake Lively reportedly hasn’t reached out to Taylor Swift to congratulate her on her engagement to Travis Kelce, following what seems to be a breakdown in their long-term friendship.
According to a source, “Blake didn’t contact her after the engagement news.” They elaborated, saying, “Honestly, what’s the point of reaching out now? It just doesn’t make sense,” pointing to ongoing legal troubles surrounding Justin Baldoni.
The whispers suggest that the two “Gossip Girl” alums no longer discuss Taylor, and have not really thought about how things might look if she were to show up at a wedding. It’s just… silence, like a blank canvas or an unfinished story.
There are claims that Lively, who recently turned 38, isn’t focused on Taylor’s engagement either. I mean, who would want to feel like they’re watching someone else’s fairytale unfold?
Reports also indicate that the rift grew after a legal battle involving Baldoni earlier this year. He filed a substantial lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their spokesperson, alleging a variety of issues. That legal drama was resolved in June, but it seems the fallout has lingered.
Some documents presented by Baldoni included texts from Lively discussing Swift. It gets a bit tangled, honestly—like talking about dragons while also worrying about friendships. One of Lively’s texts hinted at wanting to protect the people in her life, even using quirky analogies to describe those connections.
Amidst all of this, Swift was even subpoenaed in connection with the lawsuits. Sort of awkward, right? Imagine being dragged into a mess like that.
A close insider mentioned that Taylor is distancing herself, not wanting to get tangled in the ongoing drama. The thought in the background seems to be: perhaps some space is needed.
Recently, of course, Swift and Kelce made headlines with their engagement announcement. They shared a playful Instagram post that illustrated their joy, contrasting starkly with the shadows of Lively and Swift’s distant friendship.
In the midst of all this, there’s lots of speculation about what went wrong. It’s a bit of a complicated tangle, isn’t it?
