Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are gearing up for what might be the wedding of the century, reportedly set for July 3 in New York City. But while the couple is ready to say “I do,” their guest list is causing some major headaches. The biggest source of awkwardness? None other than Taylor’s former ride-or-die, Blake Lively.
For years, Taylor and Blake were the ultimate squad goals. They met back in 2015, and things got so serious that Taylor became the godmother to Blake and Ryan Reynolds’ kids. Taylor even tapped Blake to direct the “I Bet You Think About Me” music video in 2021. When Travis entered the picture in 2023, Blake was right there in the Chiefs’ VIP box, cheering him on at Arrowhead Stadium.
However, the vibes shifted drastically in May 2025. According to reports, the friendship “halted” after Taylor was served a subpoena in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Lively against actor Justin Baldoni. Taylor reportedly resented being dragged into the messy legal drama, creating a rift that hasn’t quite healed.
Now, with “Save the Date” notices reportedly circulating among the A-list crowd, everyone is wondering if Blake made the cut. According to industry insider Rob Shuter, Blake is holding out hope. An exclusive source told Shuter, “Blake is totally optimistic. She’s acting like the invite is already in the mail.” The source added that Blake “keeps going back to the beginning” and “feels like part of their story” because she was there for the early days of the romance.
Despite Lively’s confidence, the situation is undeniably tense
Shuter’s source noted, “There’s a lot of baggage right now,” and emphasized that “Taylor is being incredibly careful about her guest list.” While Blake is “not even considering the alternative” to attending, the silence from the Swift-Kelce camp is deafening.
As the July wedding date approaches, the couple is keeping their plans under wraps, but the Lively situation remains a glaring question mark. Will Taylor extend an olive branch, or is the friendship officially a thing of the past? Either way, the pressure is on. As the insider put it, Blake “truly believes she’ll be there,” but Taylor and Travis might have other ideas for their big day.
