Chill Reception: Blake Lively's Cold Shoulder to Taylor Swift's Engagement

TAYLOR SWIFT'S BIG DAY SPARKS SILENCE FROM BLAKE LIVELY: HAS THEIR ONCE ROCK-SOLID FRIENDSHIP FINALLY HIT THE SKIDS?

The news that Taylor Swift, 35, has got engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has sent shockwaves of excitement through the celebrity world. And among those beaming with joy for the singer are her A-list pals - or so it seems.

Model superstars Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne were quick to congratulate Swift on Instagram, while even former friend Karlie Kloss managed to put aside their differences to like Swift's engagement post. But one person noticeably MIA from the festivities is Blake Lively, Swift's long-time BFF (best friend forever) and godmother to her children.

Their decade-long friendship has been left in tatters after Swift was unwittingly dragged into Lively's bitter legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni earlier this year. Sources close to the actress claim that she has now accepted that their friendship is over, at least for a while.

It seems that Lively's 38th birthday on Monday - just one day before Swift's engagement announcement - was not a cause for celebration or concern. In fact, insiders say she's far too busy with her own life to obsess about what could have been.

However, our source reveals that Lively has indeed given up trying to repair their friendship after Swift repeatedly ignored her attempts to reach out and mend things. 'Blake didn't reach out [following the engagement announcement] and isn't going to,' the insider spills to The Scholarly Note. 'What would be the point of reaching out now? It really makes no sense. She has bigger fish to fry.'

It's clear that Lively is focusing on more pressing matters, including her ongoing legal battle with Baldoni, which shows little sign of cooling down. Just yesterday, newly unsealed court documents revealed Lively's claims during a deposition last month that she was 'terrified' for her life due to an alleged 'smear campaign' waged by the actor.

Baldoni has denied her claims, but it seems that Lively is not letting up in her fight. Our insider says that she's been advised not to speak publicly about the drama surrounding their friendship with Swift, but it's clear that this chapter of their lives is far from over.

The silence between the two former friends speaks volumes. Insiders claim that Lively no longer talks about Swift or the state of their relationship - a stark contrast to the close bond they once shared. 'In the past, they would've talked about what could have been,' our source reveals. 'If Taylor was going to be in the wedding, what it would look like... all of that.' But now, there's only silence.

It remains to be seen if Lively will ever publicly address the breakdown of their friendship or the drama surrounding her marriage to Justin Baldoni (although a source close to the actress claims she's not planning on speaking out anytime soon). One thing is for certain: Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are both moving forward, and it seems that one chapter of their lives has come to a dramatic close.

We reached out to representatives for Blake Lively for comment but they declined to respond.
