In Hollywood, friendships often shine as brightly as the stars themselves, but even the most glittering bonds sometimes face unexpected strains. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once celebrated for their close camaraderie, are now known to be in the same territory, with their relationship, admired by fans as an example of loyalty and warmth, supposedly having cooled off. Insiders recently provided additional insight into the situation, offering an unfavorable update on the pair’s connection.

According to a recent report based on source inputs, Taylor Swift is preparing to deal a final blow to the Gossip Girl alum as their bond deteriorates further.

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s conjectured fallout, following the latter’s Justin Baldoni case, appears to be headed toward a definitive end, as sources for Radar Online suggest the singer feels compelled to “draw the line” and distance herself from both the legal situation and the actress. The move notably comes amid Swift’s recent engagement to Travis Kelce, which invited congratulatory messages from several of the pop titan's friends online, but Lively remained silent.

Radar Online insiders added in their conversation with the outlet that Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s friendship ceased to exist months ago, with the latter now feeling she needs to eliminate any lingering obligations. The insiders suggest she is even considering issuing a formal notice, possibly through a mutual friend or a lawyer, explaining why she is stepping away from Blake Lively for good. Interestingly, or perhaps complicatedly for both parties, Swift is the godmother to at least three of Lively’s children. Will the singer relinquish that role as she decides the fate of her friendship with the Betty Buzz founder as well?

Taylor Swift’s bond with Blake Lively's kids also in jeopardy, as insiders say the singer is ready to bring their friendship to a definitive close.

According to Radar Online sources, Taylor Swift is determined to move on from her role as a godmother to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' three children, Betty, James, and Inez, after reportedly ignoring Lively’s attempts to reconnect following the aforementioned legal battle. Sources added that the tension between the two has reached a point where even Lively seems to have accepted Swift's distance and avoids mentioning her in conversations.

Clearly, the glittering aura of Hollywood friendships can fade as quickly as it shines, and for Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, that moment seems to have arrived. Insiders say Swift is resolute, stepping away from ties with Lively’s family and drawing unmistakable boundaries, though both parties have so far refused to address the rift publicly. That may soon change, however, as Swift’s upcoming album is expected to feature a song referencing Lively. Until then, though, whispered revelations remain the only glimpse into the drama unfolding behind closed doors.
