Overview

• Blake Lively did not publicly congratulate Taylor Swift following Swift’s Aug. 28 engagement announcement to Travis Kelce, according to multiple entertainment reports.
• Articles quoting Daily Mail sources say the friendship is strained for now and suggest Lively is not expected to be part of Swift’s wedding circle.
• Those sources also claim Lively tried to reconnect in June through messages, emails, and calls but received no reply and then stopped reaching out.
• The reported distance is tied by these accounts to Lively’s dispute with Justin Baldoni, which briefly listed Swift as a potential witness before that citation was withdrawn.
• Coverage notes Lively’s ongoing court actions, including a move to dismiss a defamation claim and preparation to testify, with many details based on anonymous sourcing.
