We were wondering what the state of the friendship between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively<\/a> was. Now, Taylor\u2019s wedding has made that pretty clear. They\u2019re not close anymore. Otherwise, controversy or not, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, would have been invited to the celebration of Swift\u2019s marriage.<\/p>\n Now, Star<\/a><\/em> is reporting that Blake Lively<\/a> is trying not to be bitter about not being invited, but the snub has left her very sad. Lively and her husband<\/a> were cheering on their 6-year-old daughter, Betty, at a horse show in Lake Placid, New York, as Swift and Kelce got ready to exchange vows at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Related<\/strong>:\u00a0Who has Taylor Swift dated?<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cBlake did her best to hold her head high through this and act as though it was\u00a0just any other weekend\u00a0but it\u2019s been absolutely devastating for her because it\u2019s forced her to accept that this chapter of her life really is over,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n It had been speculated that the two had a falling out after Swift got dragged into the middle of Lively\u2019s highly publicized legal fight with Justin Baldoni over what happened on the set of It Ends With Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n But \u201cthere was all this talk that she might get an invite and of course she got her hopes up because she\u2019d give anything to fix this, but obviously that didn\u2019t happen,\u201d the insider added. \u201cEven if Taylor had invited her, it would have been so awkward because everyone in her world has turned their backs on Blake too.\u201d<\/p>\n Celebrities like Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevigne, and Emma Stone were invited, all people Lively used to be close to.<\/p>\n \u201cSeeing Gigi, Cara and all the people she used to be so close to celebrating together without her was a brutal reminder of how much has changed,\u201d the source adding, explaining that Reynolds has been \u201cdoing everything he can\u201d to keep Lively\u2019s spirits up. \u201cBut it\u2019s just very, very hard, especially because there\u2019s this underlying fear that\u00a0this is going to haunt her forever.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift and Kelce \u201chad so many A-list stars at her wedding, it\u2019s hard not to feel like all of Hollywood is Team Taylor,\u201d the insider said. \u201cIt really hammered it home for her just how much of an outsider [Blake] is now.\u201d<\/p>\n All of this comes after the Daily Mail<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reported that Lively\u2019s \u201cfury\u201d was such that there was probably no going back for their friendship. The source claimed that Lively was \u201csad and a little bit p\u2014d. No, a lot p\u2014d,\u201d adding, \u201cThat friendship was over before but if there was hope, it\u2019s gone. They\u2019ll never be friends again.\u201d<\/p>\n The source added that Lively \u201cwanted to go\u201d to Swift\u2019s wedding. \u201cIt feels bad to be excluded like that,\u201d they added. \u201cShe had sort of hoped that despite everything, their history was enough that they\u2019d be included, but that\u2019s not the way it went.\u201d<\/p>\n Hollywood insider Rob Shuter previously reported that\u00a0Blake even had a dress picked out<\/a>\u00a0for Swift\u2019s wedding in case a last-minute invitation came. \u201cBlake genuinely believes there\u2019s still a path back,\u201d the insider told\u00a0Naughty But Nice<\/em><\/a>. \u201cJust like she had her Met Gala dress ready, she already has a dress picked out for Taylor\u2019s wedding. That\u2019s how convinced she was \u2014 and still is \u2014 that this friendship can be saved.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"NEW](\"https:\/\/stylecaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/taylor-swift-honeymoon-conor-kennedy.jpg?w=300&h=168&crop=1\")
