Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, September 15 – The highly anticipated wedding of pop culture icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce is already the subject of intense media scrutiny, and while fans are buzzing about who will be in the superstar’s bridal party, a surprising development suggests a major name might be left off the list: Blake Lively.
The once seemingly inseparable friendship between the two A-listers appears to be strained, with sources indicating that the rift stems from Blake Lively’s legal filings against her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, in which she reportedly included Taylor Swift’s name.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, a source close to the situation revealed the growing distance between the two friends. “This is something that we would’ve talked about in the past, like what was going to happen, if she was going to be in the wedding, what that would look like. All of that,” the source said. “But now, it’s just silence. There’s no ‘will she or won’t she’ about Blake being in the wedding, because she just won’t. She knows that, and I don’t think she particularly wants to talk about that.”
Reports also suggest that Taylor has been unresponsive to Blake’s attempts to reconcile, causing Blake to reportedly give up on her efforts. The singer is currently said to be focusing on her personal life with her fiancé, Travis Kelce. Sources claim Blake has accepted the situation and is letting go of the hope for a reconciliation.
The alleged bone of contention between the two is Blake’s decision to involve Taylor’s name in her legal strategy, despite Taylor having no real stake or role in the case. While Taylor has no direct involvement in the dispute between Blake and Justin Baldoni, People magazine reports that she will be available to give a deposition in October if called upon. The Blake versus Baldoni trial is scheduled to begin on March 9, 2026, in New York.
The news has left fans and media alike speculating on the future of what was once considered one of Hollywood’s most powerful friendships. The “wedding of the year,” regardless of when it takes place, may now be missing one of its most high-profile guests.
