Blake Lively’s chickens come home to roost: ‘Was it worth it to end a friendship of more than a decade?’

For years Blake Lively enjoyed the inner-most sanctum of Taylor Swift’s circle, but after the entire debacle with Justin Baldoni exposed her text messages about having some ‘dragons’ on her side, it seems the friendship has been left to rot and with the weekend of Swift’s wedding is being seen as proof that the bond is not what it once was.

But that’s not the only rumor supporting this news, in fact, during the height of the Baldoni legal case, Lively’s emails were also made public and showed her asking Swift if she was avoiding her, only to be told that the singer was doing so, because ‘she felt like Blake was speaking to her like a corporate ally in her ongoing legal bid, rather than as a friend’.

What’s even pertinent to mention is that Swift is also godmother to all four of Lively’s children, yet she was nowhere to be seen at the $20m wedding to Travis Kelce.

Now a source has come forward with insight into this and tells Closer magazine, “Blake did her best to hold her head high throughout all this and act as though it was just any other weekend, but this has been absolutely devastating for her.”

Moreover, “this has forced her to accept that this chapter of her life really is over,” they added too.

At the beginning, there was “all this talk” that she might get an invite and, “of course, she got her hopes up because she’d give anything to fix this, but – obviously – that didn’t happen,” they admitted. “To Blake, it all feels incredibly unfair. She accepts that she made a mistake by calling Taylor one of her ‘dragons’ in that text message, but she doesn’t feel like it was so bad that it was worth ending a friendship of more than a decade over.”
