As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding day approaches, multiple sources have confirmed to Us Weekly that Swift’s once-close friend Blake Lively did not receive an invitation to the pair’s nuptials.
“Blake understands why she wouldn’t be invited and that it would be a media frenzy,” an insider exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She also understands that she and Taylor don’t have the same level of friendship they once had. She isn’t upset about not being invited, but of course, she would love to be there to support her and Travis.”
Swift, 36, and Lively, 38, experienced a falling out after the pop star’s name was dragged into the contentious legal battle between the actress and her It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni. Lively and Baldoni, 42, reached a settlement out of court earlier this month, bringing their 18-month legal drama to an end.
The insider adds that Lively is “at peace” with how things “played out” between her and Swift, noting that the Gossip Girl alum has “put that chapter behind her.” Still, the friends are taking space from each other.
“They haven’t been in touch in several months, and their last correspondence was only a few casual texts back and forth,” the insider concludes. “That is the extent of their friendship.”
Us Weekly reached out to reps for Lively and Swift for comment.
During Lively’s battle with Baldoni, which began in December 2024 when the A Simple Favor star filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Five Feet Apart director, personal text messages between Lively and Swift were made public. A source previously told Us that the situation was “really hard” for Swift.
“Having her texts out there made her feel exposed and kind of violated, like, something private suddenly wasn’t hers anymore,” the source shared. “That doesn’t sit well with her.”
Lively’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley said in January that the actress has “done everything she can to protect her friends from not being brought into this.”
“It was the Baldoni parties who brought that evidence into this case. It’s not relevant. What’s relevant is her claims that she was sexually harassed in the workplace and the witnesses are there to see that,” he said at the time. (Baldoni denied the sexual harassment allegations and filed a countersuit against Lively, which was dismissed in 2025.)
Now, Swift is preparing to say “I do” to Kelce, 36, whom she began dating in summer 2023. The pair got engaged last August.
While the exact location and date of the wedding have yet to be confirmed, Swift and her NFL star fiancé are rumored to be set to tie the knot during the upcoming July 4 holiday weekend. One popular theory suggests that the couple will wed at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Mayor Zohran Mamdani fueled the speculation during a June 15 press conference.
“I am fully confident in the work of the NYPD, as well as our state partners, in delivering that safe experience,” he told reporters. “We are the biggest city in the country. We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for the [World Cup]. We know it coincides with the Knicks’ [NBA] Finals run. We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding — all happening at the same time — and we are so excited to welcome the world here.”
