Taylor Swift surprised everyone when she announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, the man she has been dating since 2023. Fans are excited as the couple prepares to start their forever together. But amid all the excitement, reports have emerged that Taylor and her once-close friend, Blake Lively, have stopped talking. They were once so close that fans imagined Blake playing a big role in Taylor’s wedding.
The rumors about their split grew after Taylor stayed silent during Blake’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni. According to PEOPLE, Taylor and Blake are not speaking at the moment. An insider told the Daily Mail that it is not the right time for Blake to reach out, saying it wouldn’t make sense. Interestingly, Blake celebrated her birthday just a day before Taylor’s engagement announcement. The source added that Blake has other priorities to focus on right now.
Taylor and Blake had been friends for years. Blake even made Taylor the godmother of her children. But things reportedly changed when Blake filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni over sexual harassment and mentioned Taylor as a witness. Baldoni’s legal team said Taylor pressured him to accept Blake’s changes on the movie It Ends With Us. They also subpoenaed documents from Taylor, which hurt her and led to the friendship cooling off. While some reports suggested they patched things up, insiders say things were never the same.
Taylor has not spoken publicly about the situation, which fueled more rumors of a rift. PEOPLE reported that the two women are currently not in contact. Fans are now also curious about Taylor’s upcoming album, The Life Of A Showgirl. One of the songs, Ruin The Friendship, has drawn attention because of the speculation surrounding Taylor and Blake’s friendship.
As for the engagement, Taylor and Travis got engaged about two weeks ago, according to Travis’s father. Taylor recently shared photos on Instagram showing the special moment. She wore a beautiful Ralph Lauren dress, while Travis wore a matching black shirt. Travis proposed with a Victorian-inspired ring valued between 500,000 dollars to 5 million dollars. Travis’s father suggested proposing at a meaningful place, and he popped the question at Leawood estate.
