ISLAMABAD: One of Hollywood’s most cherished friendships may have quietly come to an end. According to news reports, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s decade-long bond has been deeply strained—and possibly beyond repair—after the singer was pulled into the legal drama surrounding It Ends With Us, the film adaptation starring Lively.
The tension reportedly reached a breaking point when a New York judge denied Lively’s request to keep her private conversation with Swift confidential in a legal case involving actor-director Justin Baldoni.
The move brought the ultra-private singer into a public legal spotlight she never wanted.
Sources close to the situation told RadarOnline.com that Lively, 37, has come to terms with the fact that her friendship with Swift, 35, is likely over. “She’s heartbroken,” said one insider.
“But she knows Taylor’s not coming back. She’s done chasing someone who clearly doesn’t want to be caught.”
The fallout appears to have been brewing for months, with radio silence from Swift’s side, leaving Lively feeling isolated. “Blake has stopped trying to reach out,” the source added.
Swift’s camp hasn’t held back either. “There is no recovering from this,” a source close to the pop star said. “What Blake did was exploit someone who loved and trusted her.”
They even suggested that Lively’s actions betrayed Swift’s role as Godmother to her three daughters – James, Inez, and Betty, whom she shares with husband Ryan Reynolds.
“Taylor is fiercely loyal,” the insider explained. “She’ll do anything for her friends. But once that trust is broken, there’s no going back.”
While neither Lively nor Swift has made a public statement, fans of the once inseparable duo—who’ve shared red carpets, holidays, and heartfelt song dedications—are mourning the quiet unravelling of a golden friendship.
