Singer Taylor Swift has reportedly taken a step towards reconciling with longtime friend actor Blake Lively after months of speculation about a rift between the two. According to recent reports, Swift has invited Lively to her wedding celebration with NFL star Travis Kelce, a gesture that sources describe as an “olive branch” as they work on rebuilding their friendship.
As per Page Six, Swift, 36 and Lively, 39, have recently been in touch and even spoken over the phone in an effort to move past their differences. Sources told the Daily Mail that the reported invitation signals Swift’s openness to repairing the bond they once shared.
An insider claimed that Lively is welcome to attend the wedding festivities, although it remains uncertain whether she will accept the invitation. Another source suggested that the actor is “on the cusp” of getting a second chance, with both stars reportedly engaged in conversations aimed at restoring trust.
The strain in the friendship began after Lively became embroiled in a legal dispute with It Ends With Us actor-director Justin Baldoni. Court documents connected to the case revealed details about private conversations and the nature of Lively’s friendship with Swift.
In May, reports suggested that Swift had initially decided to snub Lively from the ceremony following their friendship fallout over the actor’s It Ends With Us legal feud. However, an insider told Page Six at the time there was “a far greater chance” of an invite being extended to Lively now that her sexual harassment case against Baldoni is over.
The friendship reportedly reached a breaking point after Lively pulled Swift into her dispute with Baldoni. According to reports, the actor referred to the singer as one of her “dragons” and sought her support for script changes as tensions escalated during the production of the film.
Private texts that surfaced through unsealed court documents reportedly exposed the extent of the rift between the two stars. The documents also allegedly revealed that the Gossip Girl actor attempted to mend fences with Swift after their friendship became strained.
