Blake Lively has broken her silence following Taylor Swift’s album release of The Life of a Showgirl.
Taylor dropped her 12th studio album on October 3, with fans across the world going wild for the new collection of music. The excitement was so high among Swifties that Spotify crashed temporarily as fans tried to listen to The Life of a Showgirl as soon as it came out.
The album has been called her “raunchiest” yet due to one particular song, Wood, which has many listeners blushing. The song alludes to fiancé, Travis Kelce‘s manhood. However, there are numerous other mentions of her beau, many of them actually rather sweet.
Since the album’s release, many of Taylor’s A-list friends have shared their support with the star, including Sabrina Carpenter and 50 Cent, whose name is mentioned in one of the tracks.
However, many fans were shocked to see that Blake Lively had reacted to The Life of a Showgirl on Instagram. On a post by Taylor celebrating the album’s launch, eagle-eyed fans noticed that alongside Kylie Kelce, Blake Lively had “liked” the image.
Blake and Taylor have been friends for 10 years, but rumors have swirled recently that the pair have become more distant. The duo first revealed their friendship in August 2015 with a sweet picture taken in Australia, then in 2017, Blake’s and husband, Ryan Reynolds’s daughter, James, was mentioned on Taylor’s song, Gorgeous.
In 2020, their kids are name dropped in Taylor’s Folklore album, with James, Inez, and Betty also mentioned in the track, Betty. As the years went by, the pair continued their friendship with Ryan, confirming that Taylor is the godmother to his daughters. Yet in May 2025, it was reported that the A-list duo’s friendship had “halted.”
After Blake started legal proceedings against Justin Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star, a source told PEOPLE, “Their friendship has halted. Taylor wants no part in this drama,” with another insider saying that they’re “taking some space” from each other.
According to a complaint filed by Justin in January 2025, Blake referred to the Bad Blood singer as one of her “dragons” in an alleged text message, something that supposedly angered Taylor.

“I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually for better,” Blake’s text allegedly said. “Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. [Smiley-face emoji] you will too, I can promise you.”
Fans have also theorized that Taylor’s new song, Cancelled!, was written in defense of Blake and Taylor’s friendship. The track proclaims that the 35-year-old likes her “friends cancelled,” and notes that they can always count on her friendship, regardless of what happens to them in the public eye.
