Blake Lively is still reportedly “absolutely devastated” after missing Taylor Swift’s July 3 wedding to Travis Kelce, with a source claiming the snub forced her to accept that their once-close friendship may be over.
“This has forced her to accept” that her former place in Swift’s inner circle is gone, an insider told CloserOnline. The source added that Lively would “give anything to fix this,” but said, “Obviously, that didn’t happen.”
The reported ceremony at Madison Square Garden included a guest list packed with celebrities, making Lively’s absence hard to overlook. Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, Beyoncé, Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt were all listed as attendees.

According to the source, seeing Hadid and Delevingne celebrate with Swift was a “brutal reminder” of “how much has changed.”
The insider claimed Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, has been “doing everything he can” to support her through the fallout. Even so, the situation has allegedly been “very, very hard” for the actress.
Lively is also said to fear that the friendship breakdown could “haunt her forever.” The source claimed she now feels like “all of Hollywood is now Team Taylor” and that the wedding cemented her new “outsider” status.

Neither Lively nor Swift has publicly addressed the rumors. It is rumored that Swift distanced herself from her former friend over her ongoing legal troubles with It Ends With Us director and co-star, Justin Baldoni.
