Taylor Swift<\/a><\/span>\u2019s shock involvement in\u00a0Blake Lively<\/a><\/span>\u2019s highly publicised legal roller coaster with\u00a0Justin Baldoni<\/a><\/span>\u00a0rocked the foundations of their decade-long friendship.<\/p>\n

And the A-list pals are still struggling to move on from the fallout, with the Bad Blood singer, 35,\u00a0no longer communicating with Lively<\/a><\/span>, 37, according to insiders.<\/p>\n

DailyMail.com previously reported that\u00a0she had taken a \u2018step back\u2019<\/a><\/span>\u00a0from the Gossip Girl alum, but their close bond has deteriorated, with Swift reportedly refusing an invitation to the\u00a0SNL<\/a><\/span>\u00a050th anniversary special as Lively was on the guest list.<\/p>\n

\u2018Taylor is not communicating with Blake,\u2019 an insider said. \u2018She was invited to SNL50, but with Blake there \u2013 and\u00a0Kim Kardashian<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 it was the last place on earth she would be seen.\u2019<\/p>\n

The global frenzy around Lively has left Swift questioning her close friendships and how she can prevent \u2018external factors\u2019 from damaging her own reputation.<\/p>\n

\u2018Taylor is taking stock of which of her friends are good for her and who name drops her for personal gain after Blake-gate,\u2019 a second insider added.<\/p>\n

DailyMail.com previously reported that Swift, 35, had taken a \u2018step back\u2019 from the Gossip Girl alum, 37, but their close bond has deteriorated further<\/p>\n

\u2018She has a new album in the works<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and is shocked by how much drama she was pulled into. She won\u2019t let external factors hurt her career.\u2019<\/p>\n

The once best friends haven\u2019t been pictured together for four months. The last time was when Lively and Swift\u00a0enjoyed a double date with their respective partners Ryan Reynolds and<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Travis Kelce in Manhattan in October.<\/p>\n

Questions were raised earlier this month when the actress failed to attend the Super Bowl, with Swift instead\u00a0flanked by her collaborator Ice Spice, social media influencer Ashley Avignone and Haim sisters Alana, Este and Danielle<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Swift was dragged into the explosive saga last month when her It Ends with Us co-star Baldoni countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, for $400 million.<\/p>\n

In his filing he claimed Lively, who accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a lawsuit, used Swift to intimidate him at a meeting with Reynolds about edits she had made to a rooftop scene.<\/p>\n

Baldoni claimed the Cruel Summer singer made him feel like he ‘needed to comply with Blake’s direction for the script’.<\/p>\n

Lively later appeared to threaten Baldoni by comparing herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi in a series of text messages, included as exhibits to court papers, in which she referred to Reynolds and her best friend as her ‘dragons’.<\/p>\n

A source previously told DailyMail.com that the \u2018uncool and unnecessary\u2019 description was a shock for Swift who had never planned to be at the meeting, but arrived at Lively’s New York penthouse to find it was still ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u2018Taylor is taking stock of which of her friends are good for her and who name drops her for personal gain after Blake-gate,\u2019 a second source added (pictured together at Super Bowl 2024)<\/p>\n

‘For the time being she is taking a step back from Blake because she doesn\u2019t want to get tangled in this more than she already has \u2013 which is far more than she ever needed to be,\u2019 an insider told DailyMail.com.<\/p>\n

Khaleesi, also known as Daenerys Targaryen and Mother of Dragons, is one of the main characters in Game of Thrones, which aired between 2011 to 2019.<\/p>\n

She was portrayed as a villain after descending into madness and turning to vengeance due to trauma and loss.<\/p>\n

Baldoni also claimed in the suit that Lively leveraged her friendship with the Grammy-winner to get her way behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

He claimed the actress threatened to ‘change her mind’ about reaching out to Swift to secure the use of her hit 2020 track My Tears Ricochet.<\/p>\n

Swift and Lively have been friends for a decade, with the pair celebrating milestones together and the singer even name dropping Lively\u2019s children in her music.<\/p>\n

She appeared to rally around the actress when rumours of rancour between her and Baldoni first started bubbling in August.<\/p>\n

She was pictured arriving at Swift’s Rhode Island property, taking solace at the $17 million, eight bedroom estate alongside her husband Reynolds, to escape the frenzy.<\/p>\n

Lively’s past behaviour has come under increasing scrutiny with Reynolds fuelling the hostility when he seemingly poked fun at his wife’s allegations at the SNL50: The Anniversary Special<\/p>\n

Her past behaviour has come under increasing scrutiny in the months since.<\/p>\n

She and husband Reynolds appeared to fuel the hostility towards them on Sunday night when he seemingly poked fun at his wife’s allegations at the\u00a0SNL50: The Anniversary Special.<\/p>\n

‘I have a question,\u2019 he said, to which Tina Fey replied: ‘Oh Ryan Reynolds, how’s it going?’<\/p>\n

In an apparent nod to the maelstrom of headlines, he responded: ‘Great – why, what have you heard?’<\/p>\n

The reaction from viewers was predictably brutal, with many accusing the Hollywood power couple of using their clout to claw back public favour after months of bad headlines.<\/p>\n

Lively made headlines when she accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a bombshell lawsuit last year.<\/p>\n

She alleged that Baldoni showed her explicit videos and photos of other women, openly discussed his struggles with pornography, and made inappropriate remarks about her appearance and weight.<\/p>\n

Lively also accused the former Jane The Virgin star of entering her trailer while she was nude, and letting his ‘friends’ watch her film intimate scenes, along with other activities that created a ‘hostile work environment’.<\/p>\n

Baldoni claimed in court filings they made efforts to usurp and undermine his input as the director of It Ends with Us.<\/p>\n

The actor has denied the allegations, while Lively and Reynolds have denied the accusations made in litigation by him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
