While Blake Lively has reportedly been anticipating a reconciliation, a new report details that Taylor Swift is intent on completely cutting off the Simple Favor actress.
Taylor Swift Now Got 'Bad Blood' with Ex-Bestie Blake Lively
Despite Lively's effort to keep their decade-long friendship, an insider details that Taylor Swift no longer wants anything to do with the Blake Brown founder.
"Right now, if Taylor had one wish, it would be that she never met Blake," the insider claimed amid a pulled subpoena in the legal battle, "Although there have been good times during their relationship, the issues now concerning the Baldoni case have outweighed them."
"When Taylor looks back at their friendship, she realizes it wasn't worth all the stress Blake put her through," the insider alleged, "She can now see all the red flags that should have been a warning to her."
If anything, the Bad Blood singer felt more relieved getting out of Lively's hair once and for all, "Taylor's relieved the relationship is over. She put up with Blake's antics for too long because she's a loyal friend. It took the It Ends With Us drama to finally get her to pull the trigger on it."
According to the source, when asked to describe their friendship, the Gossip Girl alum "always wanted to be the leader of the pack," while Swift had to step in and "tone Blake down."
But Taylor's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, subtly showed that was not enough, as he recently unfollowed Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, on Instagram.
"Taylor and Travis are disgusted with Blake and Ryan and how they tried to use Taylor in their fight against Justin Baldoni," the insider added, "They're vowing their break from the acting couple is permanent."
Everything Blake Lively Did to Taylor Swift Amid the Justin Baldoni Case
Lively initially sued Baldoni for sexual harassment in December 2024, which led the latter party to counter-sue by providing evidence that this was not the case on the control issue on the It Ends With Us set.
Taylor was far from simply being "dragged" in the Justin Baldoni case. Lively name-dropped Taylor's involvement and allegedly threatened her through text messages that she should show up for her friend, unless she wanted their private conversations leaked to the public.
Lively's lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, however, denied the accusation of such a threat, and clarified that Baldoni's team's anonymous sources are "cowardly sourced" and "completely untethered from reality."
Meanwhile, Taylor's legal team declared their stance that the Grammy winner never had any involvement with the movie or the Lively-Baldoni drama.
"Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release," Taylor's publicist stated that the singer had been traveling "around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history."
