‘Bad Blood’ between Taylor Swift & Blake Lively amid actress’ sexual assault lawsuit with Justin Baldoni?

Reports indicate that Taylor Swift has ended communication with Blake Lively and declined an invitation to SNL50 as she reevaluates her friendships amidst the Justin Baldoni controversy. Earlier, the girlfriend used to be spotted often at Travis Kelce’s Super Bowl games.

Blake Lively & Taylor Swift are NOT on talking terms

According to sources cited by DailyMail.com, “Taylor is not communicating with Blake.” The insider also mentioned that Swift avoided the SNL50 event because Lively, along with Kim Kardashian, were also invited. Previously, reports suggested Swift was taking a “step back” from Lively, but sources now claim their relationship has further deteriorated. The singer also allegedly declined an invitation to the Saturday Night Live 50th-anniversary special.

A second source told Daily Mail, “Taylor is taking stock of which of her friends are good for her and who name drops her for personal gain after Blake-gate. She has a new album in the works and is shocked by how much drama she was pulled into. She won’t let external factors hurt her career.”

About Taylor-Blake

Swift and Lively haven’t been seen together publicly in over four months, with their last outing being a double date in Manhattan with their respective partners, Ryan Reynolds and Travis Kelce, in October. Public speculation intensified earlier this month when Swift and Lively were not seen together at the Super Bowl. Swift attended the Super Bowl with friends Ice Spice, Ashley Avignone, Alana Haim, Danielle Haim, and Este Haim.

This development comes after Justin Baldoni filed a countersuit against Lively and Reynolds last month, seeking $400 million in damages. Baldoni accused Lively of making false allegations of sexual harassment and claimed she leveraged Swift’s influence to pressure him during a meeting with Reynolds concerning script revisions.

Baldoni claimed Swift’s presence in the meeting, made him feel pressured to “comply with Blake’s direction for the script.” Lively reportedly sent text messages referencing the “Game of Thrones” character Khaleesi, comparing Reynolds and Swift to her “dragons.” An insider had previously said that Swift was “taking a step back from Blake because she doesn’t want to get tangled in this more than she already has – which is far more than she ever needed to be.”
