'She will forever be furious': Taylor Swift ends friendship with Blake Lively after lawsuit drama, leans on Travis Kelce for comfort

What was once one of Hollywood's most adored friendships has reportedly come to a dramatic end. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once inseparable on vacations, red carpets, and NFL game nights, are no longer on speaking terms.
According to a revealing Page Six report, the collapse of their relationship stems from a $400 million lawsuit involving Blake's It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni — and Swift is now leaning on her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, for support during the fallout.
Taylor Swift distances from Blake and It Ends With Us while finding peace with Travis Kelce
The legal dispute exposed private texts where Blake Lively referred to Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds as her 'dragons,' comparing herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones.
This comment — made in the context of her legal dispute — reportedly outraged Swift, who felt blindsided and misrepresented.
'She will forever be furious at how Blake quite clearly was using her for clout and leverage in her dealings with Justin,' a source close to Swift told Page Six. 'She really hates that Blake would even think like that, let alone write the things she did in that text.'
While Swift had previously licensed her song My Tears Ricochet for the film's soundtrack, she never promoted the movie — even before the legal mess surfaced.

Sources say that wasn't by accident. Swift reportedly saw the friendship as casual and low-pressure, not one where she'd be expected to get involved in someone else's legal fight.
'The truth is, the text wasn't even accurate,' the insider said. 'That's not the kind of friendship they ever had—Taylor would never think of herself as Blake's 'dragon.''
Amid the public drama, insiders say Swift has found grounding and reassurance in her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The couple, who've become one of pop culture's most watched pairs, have been spending more time together during Swift's Eras Tour breaks.
'Travis has been a calming presence for Taylor,' one entertainment insider shared privately. 'She's leaned on him throughout this entire fallout with Blake. He gets the pressure she's under and doesn't ask anything from her except honesty and time.'
'They were baking pals, travel pals, home decor pals… and to be totally honest, billionaire pals,' the source added.
'It was nice to be with someone else who 'gets it'.'
Now, with the friendship fractured and the legal dust settling, Swift is said to be moving forward with a smaller, tighter circle — one where trust isn't just assumed, but earned. 'Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them,' the source added, quoting Swift's lyric from End Game.

‘Sarzameen' Teaser: Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan promise a gripping action-drama set in Kashmir
'Sarzameen' teaser: Prithviraj Sukumaran , Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan promise a gripping drama set in Kashmir Fans are in for an intense ride as the teaser of 'Sarzameen' has finally dropped. Starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan, the film is all set to premiere on an OTT platform from July 25. Helmed by Kayoze Irani, this hard-hitting drama unfolds against the volatile backdrop of Jammu and Kashmir , promising a tale of patriotism, sacrifice, and human conflict. A glimpse into a tense world The makers unveiled the teaser with the caption, 'Sarzameen ki salamati se badhkar kuch nahi,' instantly setting the tone for a high-stakes narrative. The short clip offers a first look into this world where duty and personal loss collide. It also introduces viewers to Ibrahim Ali Khan's menacing avatar, marking a strong shift from his debut in 'Nadaniyaan'. Prithviraj Sukumaran as the soldier In the teaser, Prithviraj Sukumaran is seen donning the uniform of an army officer stationed in Kashmir. His character is deeply invested in a relentless mission to counter terrorism in the valley. Although the teaser refrains from giving away too much, it establishes him as a man willing to risk everything for the nation. Sukumaran's intense expressions and steely body language suggest that his character is driven by more than just professional duty. There seems to be a personal loss or struggle fuelling his resolve, which the film might explore in detail. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Vastu Compliant 3BHK @ Kalyani LivingTree, KIADB, Bagalur Kalyani Developers Learn More Undo Kajol as the soldier's wife — or more? Kajol appears to play the wife of Sukumaran's character, adding emotional layers to the story. However, her presence in the teaser is far from being just that of a worried spouse. She is shown sharing poignant moments with him, but there is also an undercurrent of hidden pain or perhaps secrets yet to be uncovered. It doesn't look as simple as a regular army-wife portrayal, hinting that Kajol's role may carry surprises that will only unravel as the plot thickens. Ibrahim Ali Khan turns villain What truly raises curiosity is Ibrahim Ali Khan's transformation. After making his debut with 'Nadaniyaan', where he played a much lighter character, he steps into darker territory with 'Sarzameen'. In the teaser, he is presented in a shadowy, intense manner, clearly pitted against Sukumaran. His cold expressions and silent menace suggest that he plays the antagonist. Directed by Kayoze Irani Kayoze Irani, son of Boman Irani , steps into the director's chair for this intense drama. Known previously for his acting stints in films like 'Student of the Year', Kayoze now seems eager to tell more layered stories from behind the camera.

Squid Game Season 3 ending divides fans: Internet compares finale to Game of Thrones, calls it 'useless extension' of the series.
Squid Game Season 3 ending: We never thought Squid Game and Game of Thrones would end up in the same sentence aside from both having game in their titles. But now, fans are drawing strong parallels between the two after Squid Game Season 3 ended with what many are calling a disappointing and unnecessary finale. Viewers say the gripping survival drama, once praised for its originality and emotional depth, has now fallen into the same trap as Game of Thrones, which faced massive backlash when it ended in 2019. Fans of both shows believe their final seasons rushed through complex storylines, neglected character arcs, and ultimately delivered endings that felt disconnected from everything that made them great. Squid Game Season 3 ending: Who won the game and what happened to Gi Hun? The final round of Squid Game Season 3 took viewers on an emotional journey. In a haunting setup dubbed the 'Sky Squid Game', only three players remained: Gi-hun (Player 456), Myung-gi (Player 333), and Jun Hee's newborn daughter (Player 222). Yes, a baby, added as a contestant in the show's darkest twist yet. Suspended atop towering platforms, Myung Gi met a grim fate during a brutal confrontation with Gi Hun, falling to his death. But the game wasn't technically over. To win, Gi-hun still had to press a button, essentially choosing whether to eliminate the infant. Instead, Gi Hun did what only he could. He walked toward the button and said, 'We are not horses. We are humans.' Then, without hesitation, he pressed it, sacrificing himself so the baby could live. His fall marked one of the show's most powerful moments. In doing so, he made Jun-hee's daughter the official winner of the ₩45.6 billion prize (around USD 33.5 million). Why are fans criticising the ending? Despite Gi-hun's dramatic final choice, many fans were left confused and unconvinced. For a character who had been the driving force of the story, his sudden death didn't sit right with some viewers. Gi Hun was supposed to take down the system, not die for it. Others questioned how a baby could win the game without participating in every round, calling it a forced plot device. To many, the ending felt like a stretch, as if the creators were looking for a way to keep the series going after its massive success. The finale has sparked a wide range of reactions online, with some calling it bold and others simply calling it unnecessary. One user wrote, "Final episode… never seen a series end that badly. Is that how the GoT fans felt all this time?" Squid game season 3 spoilers Final episode.. never seen a series end that badly is that how the GoT fans felt all this time Another added, "The concept of going back into the games with a whack plan, leaving all that money unattended and sacrificing yourself for a random baby while your own daughter was waiting on you for years… the show should've ENDED after season 1." Squid game season 3 spoilers //.......The concept of going back into the games with a whack plan, leaving all that money unattended n sacrificing yourself for a random baby while ur own daughter was waiting on u for years.. the show should've ENDED after s1 A third fan mentioned, "Squid Game season 3's ending showed us that capitalism always wins no matter what" – okay, and season 1's ending also showed us that. still was a useless extension of the show." 'squid game season 3's ending showed us that capitalism always wins no matter what' - okay and season 1's ending also showed us that so. still was a useless extension of the show "Squid Game season 3 pulled a literal GOT. You had me the first 4 episodes…you had it…then it felt rushed, and you stumbled into the finish line," mentioned one user. Squid game season 3 pulled a literal GOT. You had me the first 4 episodes…you had it…then it felt rushed and you stumbled into the finish line. @squidgame "Season 3 of Squid Games is almost comparable to the last season of Game of Thrones. Super shit," wrote another. Season 3 of Squid Games is almost as comparable as the last season of Game of Thrones. Super shit However, several users defended the finale, saying it stayed true to the show's central message — that life is inherently unfair and capitalism dictates the game. Some even argued that the ending was powerful in its bleakness, reinforcing that no matter how hard you fight, the system wins in the end. As expected, the internet remains split, with some calling it a brave move and others seeing it as a letdown. Created by Hwang Dong Hyuk, Squid Game stars Lee Jung Jae, Lee Byung Hyun, Wi Ha Jun, and Park Sung Hoon among others. Squid Game Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
