The Blake Lively and Taylor Swift drama continues. The women, who are some of Hollywood's most notorious best friends, have reportedly experienced a rift over the past year due to Lively's ongoing legal case against Justin Baldoni. Now, as Swift celebrates her engagement with Travis Kelce, many are wondering if the moment will serve as the right moment for the two to mend their relationship.
According to a new source, Lively and Swift's relationship remains a sore spot.
“Blake didn’t reach out [following the engagement announcement] and isn’t going to,” said a source to 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."
The source claims that the women are no longer in contact and that it's unlikely for Lively to attend Swift's wedding.
“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,” said the source.
“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.”
What happened between Lively and Swift?
Swift and Lively's friendship has taken a toll following Lively's ongoing lawsuit with Justin Baldoni. Swift's name came up on numerous occasions, including an instance when Baldoni's team alleged that Swift had pressured him to add some of Lively's script rewrites to the movie "It Ends With Us."
According to various sources, Swift was hurt that she was involved in the legal conflict.
Lively and Swift have been best friends for years, with their relationship dating back to 2014. Their bond goes beyond the two of them, with Swift being the godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds' three daughters, James, Inez, and Betty.
Swift has even featured the girls' names in some of her songs. James is also featured on the song "Gorgeous," a sweet shoutout that demonstrates the depth of their relationship.
