Is there “Bad Blood” after all?
Blake Lively did not attend the 2025 Super Bowl with Taylor Swift after the pop star felt “used” by her longtime friend over being dragged into the actress’ ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Swift, 35, watched her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, but Lively, 37, was not in her star-studded suite with Ice Spice, Ashley Avignone and the Haim sisters.

The “Gossip Girl” alum’s absence this year comes amid her legal battle with her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, Baldoni, which Swift may soon be dragged into.
Baldoni’s legal rep recently suggested that the Grammy winner could be deposed because she was present for a meeting mentioned in the “Jane the Virgin” alum’s $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

After Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, 41, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation in December 2024, he claimed in his own filing that he felt she had attempted to intimidate him by inviting Swift to their meeting.
He also claimed she leveraged her friend’s star power, having allegedly referred to the singer and Reynolds as her “dragons” in texts to the actor-director as she pushed him to accept her proposed rewrite to one of their film’s scenes.
“If you ever get around to watching ‘Game of Thrones,’ you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons,” read Lively’s alleged text to Baldoni, per his amended complaint.
“For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you.”

A source exclusively told Page Six last Thursday, “Taylor really wishes Blake hadn’t dragged her into this whole situation.”
The pair “have been friends for years and Taylor cherishes genuine friendships, but she can’t help but feel used at this point,” the insider added.
We also heard that Swift “wants to keep out of this drama as much as possible.”

The Eras Tour performer has been known to shower her friends with support while promoting their projects, though she has said very little about “It Ends With Us,” which was inspired by Colleen Hoover’s 2016 book of the same name and focuses on domestic violence.
While she did not post about the film on social media when it came out in August 2024 (as she had done for her pal Zoë Kravitz’s “Blink Twice”), Swift lent her 2020 song “My Tears Ricochet” to the soundtrack.
The “All Too Well” songstress has not publicly commented on Lively’s beef with Baldoni.
