The reported fallout between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively—once considered one of Hollywood’s tightest celebrity friendships—has quickly evolved from private tension into a full-blown public spectacle. What began as whispers of disagreement has turned into a high-stakes game of loyalty within their elite social circle.
The end of a high-profile friendship sends shockwaves through celebrity social circles
Allegedly, tensions escalated when Blake Lively issued a private threat to leak personal messages unless Taylor Swift publicly supported her in an ongoing legal dispute involving actor-director Justin Baldoni. That moment, sources say, marked the beginning of the end for their friendship.
Fans and media alike are now tracking every move, like, and comment among Swift and Lively’s mutual friends—and the silent signals are speaking volumes.
Model Gigi Hadid appears to have taken a clear stance. Once referred to as “family” by Blake, Gigi’s closeness to Swift has only deepened, while Blake and Ryan Reynolds were notably missing from Gigi’s recent 30th birthday celebration. According to a source quoted by the Daily Mail, “She is no longer friends with Blake.”
Cara Delevingne, often known for balancing friendships with grace, seems to be leaning toward Swift as well. She’s supported the Eras Tour and publicly spoken favorably about Taylor’s relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce . Still, her long-standing connection with Blake adds nuance to her position.
Karlie Kloss, whose relationship with Swift cooled after 2017 due to rumored alliances with Scooter Braun, surprised many by attending an Eras Tour show—possibly signaling an effort to reconnect. Meanwhile, her continued ties with Lively place her in a diplomatic limbo.
Core friendships are holding firm, others under pressure
Actress Sophie Turner is firmly in Swift’s camp. Taylor offered Turner a safe haven during her split with Joe Jonas, even opening her New York apartment to her. That kind of personal support has clearly solidified their bond, outweighing any past flirtations with the Lively-Reynolds crew.
On the other hand, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy—both close to Reynolds—are walking a fine line. Though Levy has worked with both Swift and the Reynolds-Lively camp, fans are pressing him to make his stance clear. “You can’t play both sides forever,” one fan commented online.

As Blake faces looming legal challenges and Taylor continues her tour, the social ripple effects of their split are undeniable. For Hollywood’s inner circle, silence is no longer an option—and friendships may never be the same.
