Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are currently not in communication via PEOPLE. Their longtime friendship has been under public scrutiny since Swift’s name was brought into Lively’s ongoing legal battle with her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni, which began in December 2024.
Now, PEOPLE reported, “Taylor and Blake aren’t speaking.”
Swift, has come up several times during the actress’ legal war with Baldoni. The superstar’s name was first brought into the mix when Baldoni’s legal team alleged that Swift had pressured him to accept Lively’s rewrites on the movie in a complaint Baldoni filed in January that has since been dismissed.
Later, in May, Baldoni’s legal team dropped the subpoena they’d issued to Swift. Swift’s rep claimed the subpoena was “designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”
On August 13th, Swift announced the upcoming release of her new album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, which will include a song titled “Ruin the Friendship.” Fans speculate that this song is about her relationship with Lively.
During a recent appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast, Swift revealed that she recorded the album while on the European leg of her Eras Tour, before becoming involved in the drama surrounding ‘It Ends With Us’.
