At one point, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were inseparable; they routinely took trips together, went to events together, and openly supported each other's careers. However, recent reports claim that their long-standing friendship has reached a breaking point. According to people familiar with the matter, the two celebrities have not spoken since late 2024, when Blake filed a controversial lawsuit against filmmaker Justin Baldoni.
Although Taylor was not directly involved in the case, her name appeared in court filings, and according to sources, the unwelcome attention caught her off guard. Swift seems to have quietly withdrawn as the legal turmoil heats up, concentrating instead on her romance with Travis Kelce and keeping out of the headlines.

Long Time Friendship Left Hanging By Controversy
Once one of Hollywood's most well-known best friends, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were often shown together at events and on vacation. Swift even served as Lively's children's godmother. Recent reports, however, claim that their communication has now dropped to zero. The two "have had no contact" since winter 2024, according to sources cited by Page Six, and recent speculations of a "low-key reunion" seem to be unfounded.
The breakdown in their friendship appears to be tied to a growing sense of betrayal on Swift's part—insiders say she felt "used" when her name began surfacing in legal documents connected to Lively's litigation.

The Lawsuit That Changed Everything
At the center of the rift is Blake Lively's high‑profile lawsuit filed in December 2024 against Justin Baldoni and his production company, stemming from the film 'It Ends With Us,' in which Lively starred and Baldoni directed. Lively accused him of causing a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, and retaliation. Baldoni responded by countersuing Lively (as well as her husband Ryan Reynolds), alleging $400 million in extortion and defamation.
Despite having no creative involvement in the movie other than licensing a song, Swift's name was mentioned in court documents and in texts referring to her as one of Lively's "dragons," a metaphor that angered Swift. Swift's team later claimed the subpoenas and legal connections were "tabloid clickbait" and that she had no involvement outside of the soundtrack.
New Focus and Shifting Alliances
With the friendship effectively paused, Taylor Swift is reportedly concentrating on other parts of her life—notably, her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce and maintaining her personal and professional boundaries. Meanwhile, Blake Lively continues to navigate the legal storm and the public scrutiny that comes with it.

According to people close to Swift, she feels it's better to take a backseat and is unwilling to get involved again until the legal situation is settled. Once praised for their closeness, and mutual support, their friendship is now a warning about how even the strongest of ties may be shattered by public disagreements and legal complications.
