Blake Lively fails to react to Taylor Swift’s engagement news as her celebrity pals send love

News of Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce sparked a flurry of congratulatory messages from friends and followers, yet one once prominent celebrity remained conspicuously quiet in response.

On Tuesday, the acclaimed 35-year-old pop artist announced thrilling news on Instagram by sharing a sequence of pictures depicting the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs standout, who is similarly 35, proposing with a knee bend.

In a swift response, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, and Cara Delevingne – Swift’s long-standing friends who are renowned supermodels – promptly liked the post, expressing their backing through the supportive actions of Swift’s girl squad.

Despite Blake Lively not featuring among the likes, it suggests an ongoing turbulence in her friendship with Taylor Swift, often associated with the Shake It Off singer.

After Swift became involved in Lively’s 2024 legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, their friendship seemingly fell apart. Lively’s lawyers accused her of attempting to pressure Swift into making a public statement and deleting messages. Although a subpoena was eventually withdrawn, the incident seems to have left lasting damage on their relationship.

Now, it appears that Blake hasn’t been around to join in the festivities following Swift’s good news, with his absence being quite notable.

Zuri Hall, well-known television figure, likewise expressed approval, but it’s clear that neither she nor Travis Kelce are linked by a romantic past, as they both have denied such speculations.

The slight occurred following rumors that Taylor Swift has ended contact with Lively, as speculation grows that her upcoming album may include a song criticizing the actress.

On August 13th, Swift unveiled details about her forthcoming album titled “The Life of a Showgirl”, set to feature a track named “Ruin the Friendship”. This song is speculated to revolve around her friendship with Lively, who is currently 37 years old.

A source close to the situation tells People, ‘Taylor and Blake aren’t speaking.’

The duo didn’t consistently have disagreements; instead, their friendship dates back to 2014 and was previously known for being very close.

Swift plays a significant role as the godmother for both Lively and Reynolds’ daughters, and she integrates this family into her musical endeavors.

Lively and Reynolds’ daughter James has a voice cameo on Swift’s Reputation track Gorgeous.

In the album Folklore, not only do we find mention of all three women – James, Inez, and Betty; but this suggests that at one point, their lives were deeply connected or intertwined with each other.

Amidst the escalating situation with Baldoni and the upcoming release of Swift’s album, spectators are becoming increasingly intrigued by the mystery surrounding their relationship, particularly following the unveiling of the song titled “Ruin the Friendship.”

In this rephrased version, I aimed to convey the same meaning in a more conversational and engaging tone.

The buzz on social media has significantly increased, as people are discussing if the song might be a reference to her alleged falling out with her ex-best friend.

Swift’s music often blends reality with narrative, preparing listeners for a more film-like experience rather than a strictly factual one.

Swift, however, essentially shut down the rumors. 

As a devoted enthusiast, I’d like to share that I worked diligently on my album during my time in Europe for the Eras Tour, prior to any unfolding events involving the Gossip Girl star. This revelation was made during an appearance on New Heights with my boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

In the course of my role as a lifestyle expert, I found myself unwittingly entangled in a dramatic chain of events earlier this year, following the filing of a multimillion-dollar countersuit by Baldoni against Lively and her spouse, Ryan, alleging defamation. This unexpected turn of events unfolded after my song ‘My Tears Ricochet,’ which graced the soundtrack of the 2024 film ‘It Ends With Us,’ drew me into this high-profile legal saga.

A series of forceful texts from Baldoni’s grievance unveiled that Lively had playfully called the renowned singing couple, ‘my dragons’, in an attempt to assert dominance towards them concerning the failed movie “It Ends With Us”.

In January, it was reported by DailyMail.com that a source stated: ‘Friends believe Blake’s message to Justin, “I am Khaleesi, and just like her, I happen to have dragons,” came off as inappropriate and unnecessary. They viewed her as more of an intimidation tool than a person – being compared to something owned by someone else.’

Ever since then, it appears Swift has been making efforts to disassociate herself from the scandal and also her bond with Lively.

Their efforts encompassed distancing Liv Tyler from her close circle, with Travis Kelce choosing to stop following Ryan Reynolds on Instagram.

This latest disclosure adds another unexpected turn to a case involving numerous prominent figures, leading to some noteworthy courtroom exchanges – one of which includes Ellen Page’s extraordinary assertion about a dragon.

The mother of four was additionally charged with not reading the book that the movie was adapted from, only doing so post-production, and making Baldoni and his relatives stay in the basement during the screening because she wouldn’t share the same space as him after filming began.

In addition to these claims, certain assertions about my interactions with Baldoni are starting to appear questionable – for instance, the suggestion that I was nuzzling her neck or whispering compliments like “you smell so good” during one of our dance scenes feels quite distant from my recollections and professional conduct.

It turns out that despite her assertion that the recording was made without microphones active, evidence from unedited footage obtained by DailyMail.com suggests otherwise. The dialogue in this footage seems to focus not on what she said, but rather on the aroma of Blake Lively’s fake tan instead.

The focus has shifted towards identifying other potential individuals who might receive a subpoena in this case. It’s likely that Reynolds’ communications will be examined by Baldoni’s team.

The investigation is now looking into who else might be served with a subpoena, with Reynolds being strongly suspected of having his communications reviewed by Baldoni’s team.

Rumors circulated concerning Swift and Reynolds’ friend, Hugh Jackman, as allegations emerged suggesting they might also be questioned in court.

Up until this year, Swift counted Lively among her closest confidantes.

They reside extremely close to one another, merely a short throw of a stone, within the stylish Tribeca district of New York City. Taylor Swift also serves as the godmother for all three of Blake Lively’s children.

However, relations took a turn for the worse in December as Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, her fellow actor and director in the film adaptation of the acclaimed Colleen Hoover novel, “The It Ends With Us.

In the ensuing month, upon Baldoni filing a countersuit alleging defamation against Lively and her husband Ryan, Swift found herself unwittingly involved in the matter.

Contained in Baldoni’s filing were screenshots of text messages and emails that named Swift.

Additionally, Baldoni asserted that Swift was in attendance at an essential gathering regarding the film, convened by Lively and Reynolds, which took place in their luxurious apartment high above New York City.

According to a reliable source, Swift herself showed up to discover that the meeting was already in progress, with no active participation on her part.
