Blake Lively, who once referred to her celebrity friends as her “dragons,” is reportedly feeling blindsided and betrayed. However, longtime friends Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Cara Delevingne remained silent during the public legal fallout between Lively and It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, leaving the actress without support.
The trio didn’t just stay quiet – they distanced themselves, especially amid Lively’s rumored fallout with Taylor Swift. Once inseparable at fashion shows and Hollywood events, Blake sees them differently.
“It’s very likely Blake will never be close to the likes of Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez again. They acted like they were her friends, but the moment Taylor was upset, they showed their true colors. It’s something Blake will never forget,” said an insider.
What Went Wrong Between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift, one of Lively’s closest “dragons,” appears to be breathing fire in another direction. Their once-strong friendship, marked by Super Bowl selfies, double dates, and social media love, has reportedly unraveled, largely due to the legal drama surrounding It Ends With Us.
While Lively faces off with director Justin Baldoni in an ongoing lawsuit, Swift has quietly backed away, and insiders suggest it’s not just to avoid the media glare.
The tension reportedly stems from a leaked message in which Lively jokingly referred to herself as “Khaleesi” with “a few dragons” at her disposal, implying Swift was one of them. Sources say Swift considered the reference manipulative and resented that Lively dragged her into the lawsuit as if she were a strategic asset.
Adding fuel to the fire, Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, recently unfollowed Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, on Instagram, further signaling a rift.
As for Lively, insiders say she’s heartbroken and not ready to let go of her friendship with Taylor without a fight.
Outside the courtroom, Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of trying to unleash Taylor Swift’s army of fans against her. While in the courtroom, Lively sought to drop her claims that co-star Justin Baldoni caused her emotional distress during the filming of their 2024 movie.
