Blake Lively’s Surprising Reaction to Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl Snub Revealed!

BBG News

Blake Lively is fine with keeping a low profile following the news that Taylor Swift did not include her on her 2025 Super Bowl team roster for this weekend’s matchup, as DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

Over the past few weeks, the bond between the duo (pair) has attracted attention due to Swift getting involved in the contentious legal dispute between Lively and her It Ends With Us collaborator, Justin Baldoni.

Baldoni asserted, through his $400 million defamation lawsuit, that Lively manipulated Swift’s influence to dominate the 2024 film, allegedly even referring to her as a ‘dragon’ in a text conversation, demonstrating control over Swift.

On Friday, a source shared with DailyMail.com, on an exclusive basis, that Lively, aged 37, had no plans to attend Super Bowl LIX as she wishes to avoid her personal affairs from casting a shadow over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s special evening.

According to the source, it seems Taylor isn’t trying to criticize Blake or give her a lecture. Instead, it’s more about sharing knowledge rather than shading. And even if Taylor had invited Blake, the source suggests Blake might not have attended.

She wouldn’t like to turn Taylor’s special evening, when she gets to watch her beloved partner compete in another Super Bowl, into a spotlight on herself. Blake aims to avoid eclipsing Taylor at all times.

DailyMail.com has reached out representatives for Blake Lively and Taylor Swift for comment. 

Regarding Lively’s future actions, it appears that she might need to reemerge into the spotlight imminently to advertise her upcoming movie “Another Simple Favor,” as a reliable source connected to the film’s production disclosed to DailyMail.com exclusively last Friday.

In simple terms, the upcoming movie on Amazon Prime Video is a follow-up to the 2018 film “A Simple Favor,” starring Blake Lively. This new film brings back Blake’s co-star, Anna Kendrick, as well as the director, Paul Feig. The premiere date for this sequel is scheduled for May 2025.

According to the source, there’s a possibility that Blake might need to promote another movie titled ‘Simple Favor’ because of contractual duties. However, if they determine that it isn’t ideal for her not to, she may not have to do so.

At the moment, Lively is staying put at her New York City home shared with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, along with their four kids. However, she realizes that she won’t be able to stay hidden indefinitely, according to a production source.

Apart from this, she’s choosing to stay near home as she wishes to avoid additional tension. At the moment, she’s prioritizing her family and children.

‘She knows she cannot stay in hiding forever.’

The most recent Lively news was announced just a short while ago, following DailyMail.com’s confirmation that the mother of four won’t join Swift for the Super Bowl this coming Sunday to witness Kelce battle the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to our confidential source, Blake won’t be accompanying [her] to the Super Bowl. In fact, Blake has been confined at home since this situation began. Taylor is distancing herself from this trial and legal proceedings entirely.

Previously, Lively joined Swift’s entourage who enthusiastically supported the Kansas City Chiefs from a bustling VIP lounge situated at Allegiant Stadium.

Among the distinguished circle were Kelce’s family members: Donna and Ed Kelce, his sibling Jason Kelce, along with friends Ashley Avignone, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, Miles Teller, and Keleigh Teller.

Furthermore, Andrea Swift (her mother) and Scott Swift (her father), along with her brother Austin, were all in attendance as the Chiefs retained their Super Bowl championship for two consecutive seasons.

As a lifestyle connoisseur looking back on the 2024-2025 sports calendar, I must admit that I didn’t accompany Taylor Swift to any of the three Chief games she attended alongside in previous seasons.

Ever since she made their relationship with Kelce public towards the end of 2023, this popular songwriter from So High School has been to numerous games and is planning a trip to New Orleans to watch him strive for an unmatched third consecutive Super Bowl victory.

The statement arises as news surfaces suggesting that the 14-time Grammy recipient expresses feelings of being exploited by the Gossip Girl actor, aged 37, following their involvement in the contentious legal dispute between Lively, also 37, and Baldoni, 41.

Baldoni alleges that Lively mentioned Taylor Swift during a meeting with her spouse, Ryan Reynolds, over changes made to the rooftop scene in “It Ends with Us,” in an attempt to intimidate him.

In a lawsuit worth $400 million that was filed last month, Baldoni claimed that Swift appeared and made him believe that he had to follow Blake’s instructions regarding the script.

As I ponder over my own journey, I find myself resonating with the strong-willed Daenerys Targaryen, or Khaleesi, from Game of Thrones. In a string of messages to Baldoni, I likened my two trusted companions, Reynolds at 48 and an esteemed friend, to my very own dragons – powerful beings who stand by my side in this great adventure we call life.

On Thursday, it was reported that Swift allegedly feels resentful towards Lively for labeling her as one of her “dragons” and using her name without prior notice, according to an anonymous source speaking to TMZ. The source also mentioned that Swift was taken aback by the meeting with Baldoni.

According to the source, it was said that Swift visited Lively’s apartment upon being informed by the actress herself, unaware that Baldoni would also be present.

According to the source, Baldoni was preparing to depart following their two-hour meeting when suddenly Swift entered, making this her initial and only encounter with him.

Swift shared with Baldoni her enthusiasm for the film, as he is a close friend’s superior, based on the information given.

I too believe that Swift intentionally arranged her encounter with Baldoni to ensure she was there prior to his departure.

Swift was equally puzzled when Lively referred to her as a ‘dragon’, remarking, “It feels strange to describe a friend in such terms.

The source additionally asserted that Swift allegedly exploited Lively’s name unfairly for quite some time, often misleading a young actress by saying that she ‘had cast her,’ an incident that supposedly never transpired.

Representatives for Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Justin Baldoni have been reached out to for a statement by DailyMail.com.

On Thursday, several sources reportedly confirmed to Us Weekly that Swift played no role in the creation of “It Ends With Us.

It’s been known that Taylor has been friends with Blake for a long time, however, it was asserted by an informant that Taylor had no role or influence in the case at hand. Furthermore, she didn’t participate in the production of the movie.

‘Taylor was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement.’

It was mentioned elsewhere that Taylor Swift was performing on her Eras Tour during the time when the movie was being filmed in 2023 and 2024.

Taylor had not watched the movie or any of its scenes before it hit theaters. Her involvement seems irrelevant to the matter, they noted.

An alternative informant informed the media outlet that involving Taylor Swift in Chad Lowe and Jensen Ackles’ court case is considered ‘unwarranted.’

Although Taylor and Blake have been friends in the past, this situation has become a court case that requires resolution. Unfairly involving Taylor in the matter doesn’t reflect the truth of what transpired.

Subsequently, it was asserted that Swift had attempted to soften her friend Lively’s bold personality several years prior to the actress’ turbulent legal encounters with Baldoni.

At present, the former star of Gossip Girl finds herself embroiled in a heated dispute with her fellow actor from It Ends With Us, whom she alleges has subjected her to sexual misconduct and has waged a defamatory campaign against her, as per explosive legal claims made last year.

Currently, Baldoni is filing a lawsuit against both Lively and her spouse Reynolds, seeking a staggering $400 million. What left many stunned was his decision to involve Swift in this high-stakes, contentious legal dispute.

The heated argument between Lively and Baldoni has brought her past actions into question, as the public weighs in with their opinions on her behavior with every fresh development.

Back in the days before the whole drama unfolded, I, a die-hard fan, was privy to whispers that my idol Taylor Swift had been offering advice to her close companion about fully embracing their journey – full throttle, as they say!

‘That’s the real reason they bonded and became firm friends when they first met 10 years ago.’

They went on saying: ‘Taylor recognized a look-alike of hers in Blake. However, they differ significantly as Taylor tends to be understated. On the other hand, Blake is known for giving her all in every situation, never mincing words, which has led to some backlash against her.

Taylor has previously attempted to soften Blake’s demeanor, but she understands now that it’s an unattainable goal.

Currently, despite their proximity, a minor alteration has occurred due to the It Ends With Us controversy. Taylor dislikes being drawn into the situation.

Fans of the duo, who have been close friends for ten years and shared significant moments, were taken aback when it appeared that Taylor Swift was distancing herself from Blake Lively – a friendship marked by Swift mentioning Lively’s kids in her songs.

To clarify, the singer’s music played a role in the courtroom debate following Baldoni’s allegation that Lively used her friendship with the award-winning artist to influence decisions privately, as stated in the lawsuit.

As per Baldoni’s legal claim, Lively reportedly warned that she would delay the release of the film trailer unless she was granted additional time to collaborate on the film edit with her preferred editor personally.

In the lawsuit, he asserted that the actress had said she might not proceed with contacting Taylor Swift for permission to utilize her popular 2020 song “My Tears Ricochet.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I found myself reflecting on an interesting incident concerning Taylor Swift’s “folklore” album track. Initially, this tune was featured in the trailer for a project. However, it was alleged by Baldoni that Blake Lively attempted to leverage her friendship with Taylor to ensure certain demands were catered to.

A text message, said to be from a Sony executive, appeared to state: ‘Blake is attempting to get Taylor’s approval for the song. It seems she has contacted us, requesting time with her editor first. We understand that this was contingent on signing a contract, but we are inquiring if there might be a chance for reconsideration so that [REDACTED] can release the trailer and Blake does not alter her plans to contact Taylor Swift.’

In a reported event from May 2024, it seems Baldoni’s requests were met so the plan could proceed smoothly, according to the account.

By August, it seemed that Swift had shown support for Lively as whispers of a strained relationship between her and Baldoni began to surface.

She was spotted arriving at Swift’s Rhode Island mansion, finding comfort at the 17-million-dollar, eight-bedroom residence together with her spouse Reynolds, to seek refuge from the chaos.

When Amber Heard’s marketing approach was under fire as “tone-deaf,” seemingly sidestepping serious queries about the film’s central theme of domestic violence to instead encourage fans to don their floral attire and venture to theaters, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of admiration for her audaciousness.

Others accused her of using the attention to plug her alcohol brand Betty Booze.

Re-emerging interviews displaying the actress appearing ‘impolite’ towards journalists gained significant attention online as well.

In October, the duo, Lively and Swift, were recently spotted on a double date, accompanied by Ryan Reynolds (the Deadpool actor) and Travis Kelce (Swift’s boyfriend), in the bustling city of Manhattan.

The excursion occurred about two months prior to her submitting a complaint to the California Civil Rights Department, where she alleged that Baldoni had engaged in sexual harassment and fostered a hostile work environment during the filming of It Ends with Us.

Simultaneously, a news story by The New York Times emerged, alleging he orchestrated a defamatory campaign against her, following her court documents.

Later, Swift found himself embroiled in the ongoing roller coaster drama as Baldoni retaliated with a sharp legal response, filing a lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds. In this suit, Baldoni alleged that the celebrity pair had plotted together to tarnish his reputation.

It Ends with Us was a box-office hit, earning $351 million worldwide despite a $25 million budget.

As a devoted lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly awaiting news regarding the cinematic adaptation of the sequel to the captivating best-seller by Colleen Hoover, “It Starts with Us.” However, at this moment, there seems to be no official update on the progress of the project. Stay tuned for more updates!

Baldoni, Lively and the NYT have all denied the claims levelled against them.
