Blake Lively is said to be deeply hurt after it was alleged that she was deliberately excluded from Taylor Swift’s wedding guest list. At one time, the actress and the singer were best friends, although their relationship has diminished lately.
This recent drama is said to have resulted in a break between them. Two sources claim that after understanding the situation thoroughly, they came to a point where they could no longer be friends.
Taylor Swift Wedding Snub Reportedly Leaves Blake Lively Reeling
After the news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, Blake Lively is rumored to be very upset because she wasn’t invited. Lively and Swift used to be super close – they were each other’s best friends. However, reports indicate that their friendship has cooled down in recent years. The two even had a falling out after Lively asked Swift to be godmother to her kids.
According to one source, “Lively is sad and a little bit p-ssed. No, a lot has passed. That friendship was over before, but if there was hope, it’s gone now. They’ll never be friends again.”
The source said that the actress was hoping her and Swift’s friendship would have been enough to invite her to the wedding. This is said to be the case despite what happened lately.
Lively apparently wanted to be there, but it seems that her hopes were dashed.
Who Got An Invite Over Blake Lively?
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have decided to invite lots of famous people to their wedding. On the other hand, it appears that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds might be counted among those star personalities who were not invited to a luxurious and spectacular event of this kind.
Some of the biggest stars making the wedding celebrations included Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Patrick Mahomes.
Instead of attending the wedding, Lively and Reynolds traveled with their kids to Lake Placid, New York, where they took part in a horse show. Although the couple, who were not trying to attract too much attention, were dressed in very casual clothes compared to those around them, they were still recognized.
Why Her Absence Was Reportedly Seen as Personal
Blake Lively not being on Taylor Swift’s guest list for her wedding is said to be very “personal,” according to one source. Apparently, this isn’t just about limited space.
With thousands of people attending the event, one source stated that it would’ve been “easy enough” for Swift to have added Lively had she wanted to.
“Madison Square Garden holds more than 20,000 people. If Blake isn’t there, nobody can blame a lack of space,” a source said to the Daily Mail. “The guest list is so huge, Blake’s absence will be glaringly obvious. People are going to wonder why she wasn’t invited. Taylor could have easily invited everyone she wanted to the wedding. That’s the problem.”
The source said that simply not having Lively on the guest list is “personal.”
Insiders Reveal New Details About the Friendship Rift
Taylor Swift is said to have cut ties with Blake Lively in an effort to “move on.” According to a Page Six insider, Swift wanted to be around people she could trust following this rift.
“The singer is in a different place now, and she just wants to be around people she trusts and who bring her peace,” the insider said. “Lively and Swift used to be really close friends, but Taylor just doesn’t think that they can repair what’s been broken.”
It is reported that Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s friendship fell apart when Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, got into a messy legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Although Swift was initially dragged into the drama, the singer was able to get out of it as she was subpoenaed shortly after, though the request was withdrawn.
Lively, meanwhile, has been under a lot of pressure from fans, especially after court documents revealed text messages in which she referred to Swift and Reynolds as “my dragons.”
In addition, a source said in January that those close to Swift felt that Lively crossed the line when she sent the messages to Reynolds.
“I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have dragons,” the insider said.
“Some people in Swift’s orbit felt that Lively was crossing the line by comparing herself to Khaleesi and calling her and Reynolds her dragons. It’s completely unnecessary and unwise for Lively to say something that puts Swift in that position.”

Why Taylor Swift Reportedly Made Her Final Decision
According to the source, Taylor Swift had apparently assumed that she and Blake Lively would eventually reconcile. This is said to have changed, however, after she allegedly reached a “turning point” after various issues arose.
“When it comes to the problems with Blake, it really wasn’t one specific thing – it was more that everything combined to push [Swift] to a turning point,” the insider said. “When it came to her wedding guest list, Taylor thought long and hard about who was important to her and who she wanted to share this special day with, and she knew she didn’t want those toxic vibes around something as meaningful as her marriage to Travis. That was really the turning point for her.”
Since then, reports indicate that Swift has tried to cut all ties with Lively, who was once her best friend. The two used to be inseparable for over a decade, showing up at each other’s events and supporting each other’s careers. The two even shared their lives in songs, as Swift wrote a song about her kids, one of whom is Lively’s and Reynolds’.
Furthermore, Lively and Reynolds also included some of Swift’s songs in their own music.
