“Blake Lively Reportedly Distances From Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid Following Rumored Feud”…See More

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s decade-long friendship has officially ended, with the pop star cutting ties following a dramatic fallout, a source revealed to DailyMail.com. The rift, which also saw mutual friend Gigi Hadid distance herself from Lively, stems from Lively’s ongoing legal battle with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. “There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,” the insider stated, highlighting the irreparable damage caused by recent events.

Swift, 35, and Lively, 37, had been close confidantes, with Swift serving as godmother to Lively’s three eldest children-James, 10, Inez, 8, and Betty, 5-with Ryan Reynolds. However, tensions escalated when Lively allegedly threatened to leak Swift’s private texts unless the singer publicly supported her in her feud with Baldoni, 41, according to a legal letter filed by Baldoni’s team on May 14.

The insider added, “What Blake has done was exploit the Godmother of her children and manipulate the public into thinking that she was watching out for her best interests.”

The drama intensified when Swift was subpoenaed as a witness in the case last week, despite her efforts to stay out of the conflict surrounding the 2024 film It Ends With Us. Swift’s team criticized the subpoena, arguing she had minimal involvement, having only licensed her song “My Tears Ricochet” for the soundtrack. “Taylor is done and Gigi is done with Blake, and she has no one to blame but herself,” the source continued, emphasizing Swift’s loyalty to friends. “Taylor is a girl’s girl… but when that trust is broken, there is no going back.”

Gigi Hadid, 30, also severed ties with Lively, a move evident when Lively was absent from Hadid’s star-studded 30th birthday party at Le Chalet in New York last month. “Gigi’s loyalty is to Taylor,” the insider noted, referencing Lively’s alleged text calling Swift one of her “dragons,” a term seen as an intimidation tactic in Baldoni’s $400 million defamation countersuit against Lively and Reynolds. Fans on X reacted strongly, with one user posting, “Taylor Swift and Blake Lively done? That’s a Hollywood breakup we didn’t see coming!”

The fallout has extended to Swift’s inner circle, with her boyfriend Travis Kelce unfollowing Reynolds on Instagram last month, signaling a broader cooling of relations between the two couples. Swift, reportedly “completely floored” by the legal escalation, joined Kelce for a Mother’s Day lunch in Philadelphia on May 12, 2025, but remains upset over feeling “exploited” by Lively, her once-close friend.
