Blake Lively is starting a new chapter in her life, and sources say she may try to rebuild her close friendship with Taylor Swift. The actress has been feeling much lighter and more hopeful after a judge dismissed the PR firm’s defamation lawsuit related to the controversy involving director Justin Baldoni.
A friend of Blake’s said the ruling changed everything for her. According to the insider, Blake had felt stressed for months, but this decision finally made her feel like things were improving. The source added that the 38-year-old actress now seems “glowing, relieved, and walking lighter” because the legal pressure is gone.
Blake is reportedly thinking about fixing her very public friendship with Taylor Swift. Insiders told ShuterScoop that Blake and Taylor had pulled back from each other during the height of the Baldoni drama because both were dealing with overwhelming media attention. The source said it wasn’t personal, just a smart move, since both were getting dragged into headlines they didn’t want.
Now that the lawsuit is over, Blake is hopeful she and Taylor can reconnect. The insider said Blake misses her — the families spending time together, the fun, and the comfort of their old friendship. Blake believes that once the legal issues have cleared, Taylor will come back into her life.
However, sources say a new issue may stand in the way. According to a recent report, Taylor’s alleged wedding guest list has “shocked” Blake and Ryan Reynolds. One insider claims Taylor wants “zero drama,” and because of that, she may leave the couple off the guest list completely.
Taylor has joked in the past that she planned to invite “anyone I ever talked to.” During her recent album promotions, she mentioned on talk shows that her wedding list would be huge. Taylor and Travis Kelce, who got engaged in August, have not set a wedding date yet.
