Taylor Swift and Blake Lively‘s once-close friendship appears to be firmly in the past, as the “Lavender Haze” singer is reportedly not inviting the Gossip Girl alum or her husband, Ryan Reynolds, to her wedding to Travis Kelce.
According to a new Us Weekly report, multiple sources claim the fallout from Lively’s It Ends With Us legal battle with Justin Baldoni is to blame, with one insider revealing the pair “haven’t been in touch” for months.

Blake Lively 'Understands' Why She Wouldn't Be Invited To Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce's Wedding
Although some reports suggested that Swift and Kelce may have secretly married on June 13th, no wedding appears to have taken place. Fresh reports have since claimed they could instead tie the knot over the July 4th weekend, with New York's Madison Square Garden emerging as the rumored venue. But regardless of when or where they get married, one detail surrounding their future nuptials reportedly remains clear: Lively and Reynolds are off the guest list!
The Blake Brown Beauty founder reportedly understands the reason and doesn't seem to have any hard feelings about it, despite naturally wanting to be invited. An insider told Us Weekly: "Blake understands why she wouldn't be invited and that it would be a media frenzy."
"She also understands that she and Taylor don't have the same level of friendship they once had. She isn't upset about not being invited, but of course, she would love to be there to support her and Travis," they continued.
The insider went on to say that the Another Simple Favor actress is "at peace" with how things "played out" between her and the "Shake It Off" singer, noting that Lively has "put that chapter behind her."
The source added that the women have been taking space from each other, explaining: "They haven't been in touch in several months, and their last correspondence was only a few casual texts back and forth. That is the extent of their friendship."
What Happened With Taylor Swift And Blake Lively's Friendship?
The reported distance between the longtime friends stems from Lively's legal battle with Baldoni, which reportedly pulled Swift into the dispute. During the high-profile legal proceedings, which began in December 2024 when the Age of Adaline actress filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the It Ends With Us actor and director, personal text messages between Lively and Swift were made public as part of the legal filings.
A source previously told Us Weekly that the situation was "really hard" for the "Bad Blood" singer, as she felt her privacy had been invaded. "Having her texts out there made her feel exposed and kind of violated, like, something private suddenly wasn't hers anymore," the source shared. "That doesn't sit well with her."
Lively's attorney Sigrid McCawley said earlier this year that the mom-of-four has "done everything she can to protect her friends from not being brought into this," adding: "It was the Baldoni parties who brought that evidence into this case. It's not relevant. What's relevant is her claims that she was sexually harassed in the workplace and the witnesses are there to see that."
