Blake Lively is entering a new chapter, and insiders say it may include rekindling her once-close friendship with Taylor Swift. The actress has been feeling noticeably lighter and more hopeful after a judge dismissed the PR firm’s defamation lawsuit connected to the controversy surrounding director Justin Baldoni.
Blake Lively is hopeful her friendship with Taylor Swift will change, claims source
A friend of the actress described the ruling as a turning point. “For months, Blake’s been living under a shadow,” the insider said to ShuterScoop. “This was the first real moment she felt the tide turn.” The source added that the 38-year-old star is “glowing, relieved, and walking lighter” now that the legal pressure has eased.
Lively is reportedly looking toward repairing one of her most public friendships. Insiders told #ShuterScoop that Blake and Taylor Swift had stepped back from each other during the height of the Baldoni drama, as both women navigated intense media scrutiny. “It wasn’t personal,” the source added. “It was strategic. Both were drowning in headlines they didn’t ask for.”
Now that the lawsuit has been dismissed, Blake is reportedly optimistic that she and Swift can reconnect. “She misses her,” the source said. “The families, the laughter, the old comfort. Blake believes Taylor will come running once this legal cloud is gone.” However, insiders say there may be a new obstacle between Swift and Lively. According to a new report, Swift’s alleged wedding list for her upcoming ceremony has “shocked” Blake and Ryan. A source claims the “Life of a Showgirl” singer wants “zero drama,” and that priority could mean leaving the couple off the list completely.
Swift has previously said she plans to invite “anyone I ever talked to.” During her recent album promo tour, the “All Too Well” singer joked on multiple talk shows that her wedding list would be extensive. Swift and Kelce, who got engaged in August, have not yet set a wedding date.
