Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce on Tuesday sent fans and celebrities alike into a frenzy of congratulations.
From supermodels to fellow musicians, the well-wishes poured in on social media almost immediately.
A-List Friends Rush to Celebrate
Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne were among the first to publicly celebrate the happy news, while even former friend Karlie Kloss quietly liked Swift’s Instagram post announcing the proposal.
The outpouring of support highlighted just how much the singer is loved in celebrity circles.
Blake Lively’s Absence Raises Eyebrows
One name was notably missing from the virtual applause: Blake Lively.
Once Swift’s closest friend and the mother of Swift’s godchildren, Lively has been absent from the singer’s social media milestone.
Their decade-long friendship collapsed earlier this year after Swift was unwillingly dragged into Lively’s legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni.
Lively Comes to Terms with Friendship Ending
An insider reveals that Lively, 38, has finally accepted that her friendship with Swift is on pause, if not permanently over.
Back in June, sources said Swift had been ghosting Lively’s repeated attempts to reconnect through texts, voicemails, and emails. Now, Lively has apparently given up.
“Blake didn’t reach out after the engagement announcement and isn’t planning to,” the source said.
“This isn’t the time, and there’s really no point. She has bigger things to focus on.”
Silence Replaces Old Conversations
The actress reportedly doesn’t talk about Swift at all anymore and sees no value in dwelling on the past. “In the past, they might have discussed wedding plans or what role Taylor would play, but now it’s just silence,” the source explained. “There’s no question about whether Blake will be involved—she won’t, and she doesn’t want to discuss it.”
Lively Focused on Her Own Life
Interestingly, Lively’s 38th birthday fell on Monday, just one day before Swift’s engagement announcement.
However, insiders say that wasn’t on her mind.
“She’s not sitting at home obsessing over Taylor getting engaged,” the source added. “She’s focused on her own life.”
Legal Battle With Baldoni Continues
Part of Lively’s focus remains her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
On the day Swift’s engagement was announced, newly unsealed court documents revealed Lively’s claims that an alleged smear campaign by Baldoni left her “terrified” for her life. Baldoni denies the allegations.
Moving Forward Separately
For now, it seems both women are charting separate paths—Swift celebrating a new chapter in her personal life, and Lively prioritizing her own legal challenges and personal matters.
While their friendship remains a chapter in the past, both continue to command public attention in very different ways.
