Taylor Swift, Blake Lively End Longtime Friendship Amid Legal Dispute

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, once close friends with a decade-long relationship, have reportedly not been speaking for several months following Lively's involvement in Justin Baldoni's legal battle, where Swift was subpoenaed. The tension escalated after Swift's name was linked to the lawsuit, and Lively was notably absent from Swift's recent album announcement event. Fans speculate that Swift's upcoming 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," which includes a track titled "Ruin the Friendship," may address their fallout. Sources suggest Lively is anxious about Swift's potentially "brutal" lyrics, fearing she may be the subject of a diss track, especially with the album's release date coinciding with "Mean Girls Day." Despite their past closeness, including public celebrations and mutual family connections, Swift appears to have distanced herself from the drama, not backing Lively during the legal conflict. The situation has drawn attention amid the broader controversy surrounding the "It Ends With Us" film production, with Swift's silence and withdrawal fueling speculation about the true state of their relationship.
