Reports: Taylor Swift Cuts Blake Lively from Selena Gomez Party Amid Legal Feud

Blake Lively was reportedly deliberately excluded from Selena Gomez's 33rd birthday party due to a fallout with Taylor Swift, stemming from Lively's legal battle involving her co-star and director Justin Baldoni. Lively and her husband filed a countersuit in the ongoing dispute, during which Swift was unwillingly drawn in when Lively allegedly tried to leverage her as a celebrity friend, leading to a subpoena for Swift's texts. As a result, Swift's inner circle, including Gomez, sought to avoid any drama, with Gomez wanting a peaceful celebration characterized by "love, light, and platform boots" rather than legal complications. Swift and Lively, once close friends, have not been publicly seen together for months, and Swift reportedly feels relieved about the friendship ending. Travis Kelce, Swift's boyfriend, was supportive of her decisions regarding her inner circle during the festivities. Gomez's party was a disco-themed event featuring glittering gowns and a close-knit group including Swift, but Lively's absence was conspicuous and signaled her exclusion from the group.
