Overview

• Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Instagram earlier this week.
• Blake Lively has not publicly acknowledged the news and is reportedly not reaching out, according to multiple outlets citing insiders.
• Fans and media noted congratulatory posts from several celebrities, highlighting Lively’s absence from the public well-wishes.
• The friendship cooled during Lively’s dispute with Justin Baldoni, which briefly involved Swift through a subpoena that was withdrawn two weeks later.
• Baldoni’s since-dismissed $400 million countersuit alleged defamation and included purported Lively texts referencing Swift, and courts narrowed or dismissed portions of the litigation in June.
