Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce<\/a>\u2018s wedding at Madison Square Garden had no shortage of star power, from Selena Gomez to Bradley Cooper to Jay-Z. One name, however, was conspicuously missing from the guest list. Blake Lively, once one of Swift\u2019s closest confidantes, was nowhere in sight on July 3, and reports suggest that was no accident.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only are Blake Lively and Taylor on the outs,\u201d Maria \u201cRia\u201d Ciuffo said on Chicks in the Office. \u201cShe must f\u2014\u2014 hate her. Everybody was invited to this shindig. Everybody was invited.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe must really, really be upset with her for her to not be invited. It\u2019s not just a, \u2018Oh you know, we\u2019re taking a little break in our friendship.\u2019 No, no, no, no. They are not friends. They are donezo. Couldn\u2019t be more done. Those kids are gonna need a new godmother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift and Lively\u2019s friendship actually kicked off back in 2015, and it started in a pretty fun way. Lively posted a L\u2019Or\u00e9al campaign photo with a caption that playfully nodded to Swift\u2019s star-packed \u201cBad Blood\u201d video. From there, things moved quickly. The two ended up hanging out together in Australia, and that trip basically cemented the bond.<\/p>\n

Over the years that followed, they showed up for each other constantly, at parties, big events, and all over each other\u2019s social media. Swift even became godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds\u2019 kids, and she\u2019s referenced or featured them in multiple songs.<\/p>\n

Then 2025 happened, and things took a turn nobody saw coming.<\/p>\n

Justin Baldoni, who directed Lively in It Ends With Us, filed a countersuit in January accusing Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist of trying to tank his career. This came after Lively had already sued him for reputation damage and more. The tricky part was that Baldoni\u2019s countersuit pulled Swift into the mix, too.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when rumors started swirling that the legal mess was putting real strain on their friendship. Fast forward to July 2, the night of Swift\u2019s rehearsal dinner, and Lively and Reynolds were spotted in Lake Placid, watching their daughter Betty compete in a horse show.<\/p>\n

The next day, Swift married Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden in front of roughly 1,000 guests<\/a>. Plenty of famous faces made the cut, but Lively and Reynolds weren\u2019t among them. A source told Page Six of Lively\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaylor\u2019s in a different place now and she just wants to be around people she trusts and who bring her peace,\u201d a source told Page Six. \u201cIt\u2019s a shame because she and Blake really were close, but she doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s something that\u2019s going to be fixed. As far as [Taylor\u2019s] concerned, their friendship is done.\u201d<\/p>\n

What started as a legal battle now looks like a friendship that may never bounce back.<\/p>\n
