After months of rumors, Blake Lively confirmed she wasn’t invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce when she was hundreds of miles away the weekend of her nuptials.
In photos obtained by TMZ, Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, were photographed with her daughter, Betty (who inspired the title of the song with the same name from Taylor’s 2020 album Folklore), at Lake Placid, New York, the weekend Taylor and Travis got married at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Blake and Ryan were seen cheering on Betty at a horse show on July 2 on a local farm in Lake Placid, where their daughter took second place.
While Blake allegedly had hopes of being invited to Taylor’s wedding on July 3, she wasn’t among the dozens of celebrities photographed attending Taylor and Travis’ nuptials at MSG. Blake’s snub also seemingly debunked The Daily Mail’s report on June 19 that Taylor extended an “olive branch” to Blake weeks before her wedding with a reconciliation phone call. The two, who had been friends for years, allegedly had a falling out in 2025 after Taylor was involved in Blake’s public lawsuit against her It Ends With Us director, Justin Baldoni, due to an alleged informal meeting involving the three of them and Ryan over Blake’s involvement in the project. The lawsuit was settled earlier in 2026, with neither party earning any money.
Taylor was not happy about being dragged into the lawsuit but was more receptive to speaking to Blake as the suit came to a close,” the insider said. “Blake was ready to resume their friendship because it really was what caused its demise.” The source continued, “Everyone around Taylor is aware that Blake could attend. She may not, but that won’t be because she isn’t welcome.”
Another source claimed that Taylor was having a “change of heart” in the lead-up to her wedding. “Blake is on the cusp of getting a second chance, and they have had some loose conversations to test the waters to get the trust back. Blake is slowly getting back into the fold now that Taylor is having a change of heart,” the insider said.
The source also added that Blake did not “want to be seen as not going to the wedding’ because “her image is very important to her.” The insider also claimed that Taylor and Blake “never fully stopped being friends.” A source for Extra later denied The Daily Mail’s report that a reconciliation phone call was made between the two.
A source also told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” Substack in May that Blake had a dress picked out for Taylor’s wedding in case a last-minute invitation came. “Blake genuinely believes there’s still a path back,” the insider said. “Now that the legal mess is over, she thinks the hardest part is behind her and there’s real hope they can move forward.”
The source continued, “Just like she had her Met Gala dress ready, she already has a dress picked out for Taylor’s wedding. That’s how convinced she was — and still is — that this friendship can be saved.”
The insider also claimed that Blake still had hopes she and Taylor could heal from their drama. “She knows not everything snaps back overnight,” the insider said. “But Blake believes removing the chaos changes everything. She thinks once the noise is gone, there’s room for real healing.”
Taylor and Travis married at MSG in the neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan in New York City on July 3, 2026. The venue announced the news on the jumbotron outside the arena with the text, “JUST&T MARRIED!” Taylor and Travis’ looks were by Christian Dior Haute Couture and designed by Jonathan Anderson. They both didn’t have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Taylor’s brother, Austin, was her Man of Honor, while Travis’ brother, Jason, was his Best Man. Taylor wore Christian Louboutinshows and accessorized with Cartier jewelry.
