Blake Lively is reportedly struggling to salvage her friendship with Taylor Swift amidst the fallout from her legal issues with Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively is fighting to save more than her reputation—she’s desperately trying to hold on to her friendship with Taylor Swift, even as the fallout from her legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni sends shockwaves through her personal life. With Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce now quietly distancing himself from Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds, insiders say the divide is becoming increasingly public—and painful.

Despite Taylor Swift’s decision to step back, Blake Lively is reportedly doing everything she can to repair the rift. “Blake is devastated that things have gotten to this place, and she’s refusing to accept that their friendship is over. She’s been texting and calling Taylor, pleading for forgiveness,” a source close to the actress revealed.

The rift widened after a leaked message from Blake Lively to Justin Baldoni stirred controversy. “If you ever get round to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi. And like her, I happen to have a few dragons,” Blake reportedly wrote—an eyebrow-raising statement that some believe referenced Swift as one of her symbolic “dragons.” But sources close to Taylor strongly deny she’d ever see herself in such a role. “She would never think of herself as Blake’s dragon, or protector,” one insider emphasized.

And the fallout is now reaching beyond the women themselves. Travis Kelce, who has become a central figure in Taylor’s highly public personal life, has subtly made his stance known by unfollowing Ryan Reynolds on Instagram.

It’s a quiet move—but one fans haven’t missed—and suggests Kelce is standing in solidarity with Swift as she distances herself from the drama.Blake, meanwhile, isn’t backing down. Determined to make things right, she’s reportedly enlisted mutual friends like Hugh Jackman and Salma Hayek to help rebuild the bridge to Taylor. Jackman, a longtime friend of Ryan, is said to be acting as a mediator behind the scenes.

But Blake may be losing more than just Taylor. Insiders say that members of Swift’s inner circle, including Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Cara Delevingne, have already backed away from the actress. “They acted like they were her friends, but the moment Taylor was upset, they showed their true colours,” the source added.With Blake continuing to plead her case and Kelce quietly backing Taylor, the odds of a full reconciliation remain uncertain. Still, Blake isn’t giving up. “She loves Taylor and misses her terribly, and she’ll do anything to fix this,” says the source. Whether Swift—and Kelce—are willing to open that door again remains to be seen.Also Read: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s NFL flex pose sparks political controversy over Donald Trump comparisonTaylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship may never, ever, ever get back together, or at least to where it once was.
