Overview

  • Taylor Swift announced her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, drawing public congratulations from many friends and colleagues.
  • Blake Lively has not liked or commented on Swift’s Instagram announcement despite being active on her own account for her 38th birthday.
  • An unnamed source told the Daily Mail that Lively did not reach out after the engagement news and does not expect to be involved in any wedding plans.
  • Newly unsealed deposition material reports Lively said Justin Baldoni waged a “smear campaign” that left her “terrified,” a claim Baldoni denies.
  • Court records previously drew Swift into the dispute through a subpoena that was later withdrawn, and Swift has said her upcoming song “Ruin the Friendship” was written before reports of a rift.
