Taylor Swift Celebrates with Brittany Mahomes as Blake Lively Remains Silent on Kelce Engagement
Taylor Swift Celebrates Friend's Birthday Amidst Blake Lively Drama
The drama-filled world of celebrity friendships took center stage this weekend, as Taylor Swift was spotted celebrating a milestone birthday with a close friend in Nashville. But amidst all the joy and celebration, there's a hint of tension brewing between two former best friends: Taylor Swift and Blake Lively.
While Swift, 35, has been basking in the glory of her recent engagement to Travis Kelce, she took some time off from the spotlight to join her friend Brittany Mahomes for dinner at the posh Twelve Thirty club. Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was celebrating her 30th birthday with a girls' trip and a private jet ride that would make even the most seasoned celebrity green with envy.
As Swift sat next to the guest of honor, she looked stunning in a strappy black top or dress, her long blonde hair styled straight and sleek. But what caught our attention was not just her outfit, but also the fact that Mahomes was one of the first people to congratulate Swift on her engagement after Tuesday's announcement.
In a post that screamed "friend goals," Mahomes wrote: "Two of the most genuine people meet & fall in love. Just so happy for these two." But as it turns out, not everyone was celebrating with champagne and flowers. Blake Lively, who has been embroiled in a contentious lawsuit with her It Ends with Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni, kept mum on Swift's engagement.
Sources close to the situation tell The Scholarly Note that the friendship between Lively and Swift has been damaged beyond repair since the latter was dragged into the litigation. Baldoni allegedly accused Lively of using her husband Ryan Reynolds and Swift as "dragons" to exert control over the film, a claim that Lively's team vehemently denied.
In a statement released in March, Lively's spokesperson fired back at Baldoni: "Mr. Baldoni... and team continue to turn a case of sexual harassment and retaliation into entertainment for the tabloids, going as far as suggesting that they sell tickets to a concert venue – Madison Square Garden – to witness Ms. Lively’s deposition, to subpoenaing Taylor Swift, a woman who has given a voice to millions the world over."
The drama didn't end there. A source revealed that Lively had been trying to reach out to Swift via texts, voicemails, and emails since June, but was met with radio silence. Now, it seems like Lively has given up on mending their friendship. "Blake didn't reach out [following the engagement announcement] and isn't going to," an insider told The Scholarly Note. "This isn't the time."
But what's really behind Lively's decision not to congratulate Swift? Is it a case of sour grapes, or is she simply too busy with her own drama-filled life? Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: the friendship between these two former best friends has come to an end. As our source put it, "What would be the point of reaching out now?"
