'She will forever be furious': Taylor Swift ends friendship with Blake Lively after lawsuit drama, leans on Travis Kelce for comfort
Taylor Swift has ditched Blake Lively with no way back for friendship (Getty Images) 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo 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.

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively – A Friendship Beyond Repair?
Once the epitome of celebrity best friends, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively now appear to be navigating rough waters — and reports suggest their bond may never be the same again. According to a report in Page Six, the pop icon and the former Gossip Girl star have reportedly drifted apart following the fallout from the high-profile legal battle involving Justin Baldoni, Lively's It Ends With Us co-star, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. What Went Wrong? The rift reportedly stems from Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Lively, which unexpectedly pulled Swift into the controversy. The insider explained that Swift felt blindsided after her name appeared in court documents, referencing a text exchange in which Lively called Swift and Reynolds her 'dragons' — a comparison to Game of Thrones' Khaleesi, suggesting they were her protectors. Quoting Swift's own lyrics from End Game, the report further memtioned, 'Taylor buries hatchets but keeps maps of where she put them — remember?' They further added, 'She will forever be furious at how Blake clearly used her for clout and leverage in her dealings with Justin. She really hates that Blake would even think like that, let alone write those things in a text.' Swift's Side of the Story The report emphasized that Swift never saw herself as anyone's 'dragon' or protector and was deeply hurt to see her name used in that context. 'That's not the kind of friendship they ever had,' the insider said. 'For starters, Blake is a grown woman, married to one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. Taylor never believed she needed to fight battles on Blake's behalf — and to see her portrayed that way in legal documents was painful. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo ' Adding to the distance, Swift did not promote It Ends With Us, despite having licensed her song My Tears Ricochet for the film's soundtrack. The source pointed out that even before the legal controversy emerged, Swift's silence was telling. 'That's not the kind of friendship they had — she didn't even support the film during its release.' When the Lawsuits Took Center Stage In December 2024, Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni responded with a defamation and extortion countersuit — and in a surprising move, he tied Swift into the legal drama. Baldoni's legal team claimed that Lively had attempted to influence production by leveraging her friendship with Swift and allegedly asked the pop star to delete their private messages and issue a public statement of support. Lively's attorney, Michael Gottlieb, categorically denied the allegations, stating, 'We unequivocally deny all of these so-called allegations.' Though Baldoni eventually dropped the subpoena against Swift, the damage to her relationship with Lively seems to have already been done. No Sign of Reconciliation According to multiple reports, the chances of reconciliation between Swift and Lively are slim. 'There's a deep sense of betrayal on Taylor's end,' said the insider. 'And while she may forgive one day, it's unlikely they'll return to the close bond they once shared.' What was once a cherished celebrity friendship full of red carpet appearances and holiday getaways may now be reduced to a distant memory.
