Taylor Swift's Wedding: Will Blake Lively's Kids Be Excluded?

Taylor Swift fans think there’s one surprising snub on the horizon when it comes to her wedding to Travis Kelce: her own godchildren; seen in 2024

SHOCKING WEDDING GATES: Taylor Swift Fans Think Godchildren Are Being Snubbed from Upcoming Nuptials!

The drama surrounding Taylor Swift's upcoming wedding to fiancé Travis Kelce is reaching new heights, with fans speculating that her own godchildren may not receive an invitation. The news comes on the heels of a rumored fallout between Swift and Blake Lively, who has been accused of being part of a defamation lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

According to insiders, Lively's strained relationship with Swift could mean trouble for her children, James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, who were once considered close friends with the pop star. Fans are convinced that Lively's silence on Swift's engagement announcement is a clear indication of their troubled friendship.

The speculation comes amid the pop star's recent engagement and rumored fallout with Blake Lively, 38, amid the It Ends with Us star's legal battle with Justin Baldoni

One viral comment on Reddit read: "[Blake] will not be invited to this wedding. To the godmother of her children's wedding. Let that sink in.' The commenter continued, 'People in the industry will look at that and remember that... Her silence is all you need to see.'"

Another X user expressed sadness over the situation, writing: "I feel so sad about this. I honestly wish that their friendship was still okay, and that Taylor's godchildren could celebrate too." However, others suggested that Lively may have simply sent a private message of congratulations to Swift.

The tension between Swift and Lively has been building for weeks, with fans noticing the timing of Swift's engagement announcement on Tuesday - just hours after Lively celebrated her birthday. While Swift's inner circle, including Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, and Cara Delevingne, rushed to publicly congratulate her, Lively remained eerily silent.

Fans are convinced that the actress' strained relationship with the singer could prevent her children, James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2, from playing any part in the highly-anticipated nuptials (seen in 2016)

In fact, instead of wishing Swift a happy engagement, Lively took to Instagram Stories to re-post dozens of birthday tributes from friends and fans. The awkwardness was palpable, with many social media users branding the dynamic "awkward" and "telling."

One X user questioned: "Dude, what is going on between Blake and Taylor? Also, why did Taylor choose to announce engagement around Blake Lively's birthday?" Another speculated: "That friendship is really over huh." Meanwhile, a third admitted: "Blake Lively posting nothing about Taylor Swift's engagement honestly makes me sad."

The drama between Swift and Lively has been brewing for months. In January, an insider revealed that Lively had sent explosive text messages to Baldoni, accusing him of defamation in a $400 million lawsuit. The texts allegedly referred to Swift as her "dragons," sparking rumors that she was trying to intimidate Baldoni.

The tension has only seemingly escalated in recent weeks after Swift, and Kelce, both 35, announced their engagement on Tuesday — just hours after Lively celebrated her birthday

Swift's alleged involvement in the scandal has led some fans to speculate that she may be trying to distance herself from Lively. A source close to Swift claimed that she arrived at a pivotal meeting about the movie It Ends With Us, held by Lively and Reynolds at their New York penthouse, but had no involvement in the project.

Meanwhile, Swift's decision to unfollow Ryan Reynolds on Instagram has sparked rumors of a feud between her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the actor. The Bad Blood singer's inner circle has reportedly been iced out, with some sources claiming that she is trying to "move on" from Lively.

But will this mean trouble for her godchildren? Fans are still waiting for confirmation on whether Leo Thames Newman, Swift's other godchild, will receive an invitation to the wedding. According to a source, Swift and Jaime King, Leo's mother, have a complicated relationship, with no regular contact since 2015 when Swift became Leo's godmother.

It is unknown if Swift's other godchild, Leo Thames Newman, the son of Jaime King, will be invited

Jaime previously opened up about their friendship in an interview with E! News, saying: "I always thought if I were to have another child that she would be the ideal godmother because the way she not only treats me but the way she treats other human beings... She's so loving and so giving and so generous and she does everything from her heart and she's incredibly brave and authentic."

But it seems those days are behind them. For now, fans can only speculate on what will happen next in this juicy saga. Will Swift's godchildren receive an invitation to the wedding? Only time will tell.

TheScholarlyNote.com has reached out to Lively's representatives for comment but has yet to receive a response.

In March, a source told The U.S. Sun that Swift and King do not have 'regular contact' (seen in 2014 in West Hollywood)
