Why Taylor Swift Reportedly ‘Won’t’ Invite Blake Lively To Her Wedding

Blake Lively is reportedly persona non grata at Taylor Swift‘s upcoming wedding. The former besties are said to have fallen out in the wake of Lively’s lawsuit involving her former co-star, Justin Baldoni.

The pop star is now reportedly keeping the actress off the guest list, as she wants the event to be completely free of legal drama and controversy.

Taylor Swift has also allegedly changed her phone number following the leak of private messages exchanged with Blake Lively, a move said to be aimed at enforcing firmer boundaries.

Swift’s upcoming wedding to her longtime beau, Travis Kelce, is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated celebrity events, with rumors about its potential details swirling ever since the pop star reportedly got engaged.

Among the many points of speculation is who will make the guest list when the ceremony eventually takes place. While actress Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, once seemed guaranteed an invitation, that may no longer be the case.

Reports now suggest the duo have been cut from the list, as Swift’s relationship with Lively has soured amid the ongoing legal drama involving the actress and her “It Ends With Us” co-star, Justin Baldoni.

“They are not invited. Period,” one insider said of Lively and Reynolds, according to journalist Rob Shuter’s #ShutterScoop. “Taylor wants a drama-free day, and she no longer trusts Blake or Ryan.”

Another source claimed that Swift decided long ago to exclude the duo and is said to have no second thoughts about it.

“There’s no ‘will she or won’t she,'” the insider remarked, adding, “She won’t.”

Amid the ongoing legal saga between Lively and Baldoni, Swift has largely remained silent, despite allegations from Baldoni and his lawyers that she was one of the individuals his co-star used to pressure him into accepting Lively’s rewrite of their movie.

At the time, Swift, through her lawyers, denied having any involvement in the film and ultimately avoided being compelled to sit for a deposition after the judge denied Baldoni’s last-minute attempt to subpoena her.

The recent release of text messages between Lively and Swift has seemingly called the pop star’s earlier claims into question.

However, it appears that Swift is more concerned about the exposure of her private communications than the allegations themselves.

“Taylor felt exposed and violated,” said an insider. “That crossed a line for her.” As for Swift’s relationship with Lively, there is seemingly no hope of it being rebuilt, at least for now.

“There’s been an emotional gap for a long time,” a source notes. “Rebuilding trust doesn’t feel possible right now.”

According to a source who spoke to People Magazine, the release of the text messages has left Swift feeling very “uncomfortable” as she believes her privacy was impacted.

“Taylor feels like her privacy was impacted,” the insider noted. “Anyone would be uncomfortable if their private texts were suddenly made public.”

Another source noted that the singer never anticipated the drama or being dragged into any controversy, as all she wanted to do was support her friend.

“She was just being a friend to Blake,” the source said. “It’s turned into something bigger than she ever expected. She never thought private messages would become public.”

So now, according to the insider, Swift is “just trying to stay away from the drama.”

Following the leaked messages, Swift reportedly changed her number, and the alleged reason was shared by a source.

“Taylor needed to set boundaries and protect her peace,” one insider told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop about the decision. “She’s very private and doesn’t take kindly to people overstepping.”

While the move did raise questions at the time, a different insider claimed that it wasn’t “petty or dramatic” but was about Swift “reclaiming control over her life.”

One more source pointed out that only a few close people have access to the pop star’s new contact.
