Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's ongoing disputes: What's their current situation?
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's friendship seems to have taken a pause, with the legal battle involving Lively and her costar, Justin Baldoni, creating a rift between the two.
According to reports, Swift, the acclaimed pop singer who recently regained ownership of her masters, and Lively, former star of 'Gossip Girl,' have been estranged since the dropped subpoena in the ongoing lawsuit. Swift's post apparently went unacknowledged by Lively.
A source told Us Weekly on May 31 that there has been no communication between the two since the legal motion was withdrawn. The friendship, once close, may not resume due to the emotional residue left behind.
The disagreement arose when Lively mentioned Swift among her "dragons" in an alleged text exchange, which was referenced in Baldoni's lawsuit filed in January. Although the friendship is not said to be irreparably damaged, Swift and Lively are currently maintaining a distance.
The trial, scheduled for March 2026, will see both Lively and Baldoni testifying. In the meantime, Swift's father, Scott, reportedly sided with Baldoni's lawyers, although it is unclear for what reasons.
The distance between Swift and Lively underscores Swift's efforts to distance herself from the legal drama, at least for the time being. However, it is suggested that they are not considering their friendship permanently ended, merely in need of a break.
