Blake Lively and Taylor Swift’s friendship was a tight-knit one. When the Grammy winner was dragged into Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni, the two drifted apart. Some reports started doing the rounds that Taylor Swift had distanced herself from the actor.
As per a “source,” Blake Lively has replaced Taylor Swift with “real” people in her life. According to the “friend”, this move comes as “Gossip Girl” alum wants to take revenge on Taylor Swift for kicking her out of the circle.

Amid the personal and professional drama, Blake Lively has lost a great deal in the process. This also includes her once close friend Taylor Swift. Their friendship dates back to 2015 and has grown strong over the years. This was until Taylor Swift was dragged into the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively legal drama. The latter had filed the lawsuit in 2024 with harassment charges against her co-star.
Now, Blake Lively is on a mission to rebuild her friend circle. This includes Gigi Hadid, Salma Hayek, Emily Blunt, Florence Welch, and Karlie Kloss. The actor emphasises the need to have “real people” in the group who can be with her. As per RadarOnline, the source said, “Blake’s not crying over spilled champagne. Her new girl squad may not be packed with pop stars, but it’s real, and that’s what she needs right now.”
The friend further clarified that the actor wants reliable people in her circle. Blake Lively is “also looking to build up more high-profile bonds.” Meanwhile, they stated the actor wants to prove to Swift that “she is still a Hollywood heavyweight.” The source added that she is rebuilding her inner circle, due to “bitterness” toward the pop icon.
