Blake Lively and Taylor Swift were once seen as best friends, but things have changed this year. Their bond reportedly went downhill during Blake’s legal issues with actor Justin Baldoni. While Swift recently
shared her engagement news and received wishes from friends like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid, Blake remained silent.
This is happening after the Gossip Girl star tried to connect with the singer, who is also her daughters’ godmother, to get support during the legal drama. But when her attempts went unanswered, Blake stepped back. Sources now claim that she “didn’t reach out” to Swift after the engagement announcement and doesn’t plan to. Insiders also claim that Blake won’t be part of the wedding ceremony as well.
Blake Lively Has No Plans To Contact Taylor Swift
A source told Daily Mail, “Blake didn’t reach out [following the engagement announcement] and isn’t going to. 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.”
Reports suggest that Blake Lively has completely moved on from her friendship with Taylor Swift. Sources claim she no longer talks about Taylor in conversations. The source added, “This is something that we would’ve talked about in the past, like what was going to happen, if she was going to be in the wedding, what that would look like. All of that. But now, it’s just silence. There’s no ‘will she or won’t she’ about Blake being in the wedding, because she just won’t. She knows that, and I don’t think she particularly wants to talk about that.”
Blake Lively’s 38th birthday came just a day before Taylor Swift’s engagement announcement. But sources close to her say this timing doesn’t bother Blake at all. She isn’t spending her time worrying about Taylor’s news or comparing moments. Instead, she is busy with her own life.
Taylor Swift’s Name Dragged Into Blake Lively’s Legal Case
During Lively’s legal fight with Justin Baldoni, Swift’s name was unexpectedly pulled into the case. As per Page Six, Baldoni had claimed that Blake had tried to use Taylor’s influence to gain control over the film project. Blake later reached out to Taylor and apologised for involving her in the matter. She wanted to make it clear that hurting Taylor or damaging their friendship was never her goal. According to reports, Taylor had accepted the apology, did not hold any grudge and was open about moving forward.
