Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s once-close bond appears strained as wedding plans for the pop star move forward without signs of reconciliation. Sources now tell Page Six that there has been no invitation extended to Lively, and friends say the relationship remains on pause despite recent media reports suggesting a thaw.
Where things stand: no invite, no olive branch
Insiders close to the situation insist Swift has not sent a wedding invitation to Lively. That detail undercuts recent stories claiming the two were reconnecting ahead of Swift’s nuptials to Travis Kelce.

One source described the friendship as still fractured. They said there has been no formal outreach from Swift to reopen the relationship.
Why the friendship faltered: legal conflict and fallout
The rift followed public attention on Blake Lively’s legal dispute involving actor-director Justin Baldoni. As the matter drew headlines, Swift found herself mentioned and pulled into the controversy.
- Friends say Swift felt uncomfortable being associated with the dispute.
- She reportedly needed distance while the legal issues played out.
- That distance led to a cooling of contact between the two stars.
Emotional context from insiders
Sources told Page Six Swift felt hurt by how her name became part of the dispute. They said she viewed the situation as manipulative and preferred to step back rather than engage with the drama.
Conflicting reports about reconciliation
Some outlets recently suggested Lively and Swift had begun speaking again as the lawsuit wound down. Reporters cited people close to the matter who believed Lively might be invited to Swift’s ceremony.
But Page Six’s sources dispute that picture. They say those narrative threads are premature and that no invitation has been confirmed.
Claims from other sources
- One report said members of Swift’s circle expected Lively could attend.
- Another claimed Lively was gradually being welcomed back into Swift’s social group.
- Page Six sources, however, rejected those suggestions as inaccurate.
How the pair first became close
Swift and Lively began appearing together years ago. Their friendship took hold after Lively shared a campaign image that echoed Swift’s “Bad Blood” visuals.
From that spark, they spent time together at events and became publicly friendly. Their bond has been visible across red carpets and social moments for nearly a decade.
Insiders on where things might go next
People familiar with Swift’s thinking say she is focused on protecting her personal life. They add she has a low tolerance for situations that pull her into legal or public controversies.
Those close to Lively reportedly hope the legal matters settling might clear the path for renewed contact. But Page Six’s sources caution that warm feelings alone may not translate into an immediate reconciliation.
Key points friends are watching
- Whether Swift will change her mind about the guest list.
- How public reaction to the legal proceedings affects both women.
- Whether private conversations between them will resume.
Official responses and silence
Representatives for both Swift and Lively have not publicly commented to Page Six about the reported status of their friendship or any wedding invite.
Until one of them speaks, the public picture remains driven by accounts from friends and insiders with differing perspectives.
