Blake Lively Reportedly Expects Invite to Taylor Swift Wedding Despite Justin Baldoni Legal Drama
Blake Lively reportedly believes she will attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding despite growing distance amid the Justin Baldoni lawsuit drama.
Blake Lively reportedly thinks she’s still getting an invite to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, but whether or not it’s going to happen is seemingly still up in the air.
“People around Taylor aren’t so sure,” a source told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack on Wednesday, April 15. “They don’t see Blake as a must-have guest.”
The source continued, “There’s a lot of baggage right now. And Taylor is being incredibly careful about her guest list.”
However, the source said that the Gossip Girl alum, 38, “truly believes she’ll be there” and that she’s “not even considering the alternative.”
“Blake is totally optimistic,” the source added. “She’s acting like the invite is already in the mail. She keeps going back to the beginning. She was around when Taylor and Travis first got together — she feels like part of their story.”
Swift, 36, and Lively were close friends for several years. However, once the Grammy winner’s private text messages with Lively were made public in the Simple Favor star’s legal drama with It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni, she seemingly began to distance herself.
A source told People in January that Swift wanted to “stay away from the drama.”
“Taylor feels like her privacy was impacted,” the source told the publication. “Anyone would be uncomfortable if their private texts were suddenly made public.”
Plus, while the “Exile” singer and Lively were previously photographed together quite frequently, the two haven’t been spotted hanging out together in public since October 2024.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star was previously accused of extorting Swift in her lawsuit against Baldoni, 42.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, alleged that Michael Gottlieb, one of Lively’s attorneys, reached out to a lawyer at Venable, the firm that represents Swift, and “demanded that Ms. Swift release a statement of support for Ms. Lively.” The claim was outlined in a letter submitted to Judge Lewis J. Liman on May 14, 2025, and obtained by In Touch at the time.
Freedman claimed that if the “Anti-Hero” artist refused to make a statement then “private text messages of a personal nature” that Lively had in her possession would be released.
Earlier this month, a judge dismissed 10 of Lively’s 13 claims in her lawsuit, including allegations of sexual assault and defamation.
