The internet has exploded over Taylor Swift\u2019s new \u2018takedown\u2019 of former BFF Blake\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will Taylor’s new album spill on the ‘ruined friendship’?<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
When it comes to Hollywood friendships, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively\u2019s has spanned over a decade and the two superstars’ lives have become so intertwined that they are more like sisters than pals.<\/p>\n
Until now, that is, after it was revealed last week that Taylor, 35, and Blake, 37, \u2018aren\u2019t speaking\u2019 – four months after the \u2018Don\u2019t Blame Me\u2019 hitmaker was unwillingly embroiled in Blake\u2019s on-going legal storm with former\u00a0This Is Us\u00a0co-star, Justin Baldoni.<\/p>\n
The bombshell status update on their friendship came just days after Taylor appeared on boyfriend Travis Kelce\u2019s \u2018New Heights\u2019 podcast to reveal her October release of her album,\u2018The Life of a Showgirl\u2019,\u00a0including the title of the tracks she\u2019s set to drop.<\/p>\n
The first track, \u2018The Fate of Ophelia\u2019 led fans to speculate over whether it bears any relation to Blake\u2019s character of the same in the 2012 film Savages, but it was the album’s sixth record, a clear ‘diss track’ named \u2018Ruin the Friendship\u2019 that set the internet to explode.<\/p>\n
One social media also questioned whether her track, \u2018CANCELLED\u2019 could also relate to Blake\u2019s plummeting popularity, writing, \u2018Who else thinks Ruin The Friendship and CANCELLED! are about Blake Lively. Taylor Swift…please….\u2019<\/p>\n
Perez Hilton agreed, adding, \u2018”I think we might be getting more than one song about Blake Lively. Yes, more than one. The obvious: Ruin the Friendship, but also CANCELLED!\u2019<\/p>\n
And now a source tells us how the\u00a0Gossip Girl\u00a0alum is still desperate to change Taylor\u2019s mind and fears that being turned away from her inner circle could turn her into a bona fide Hollywood pariah.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-1928451484.jpg” alt=”Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have remained good friends since their split in 2018″ title_text=”Celebrity Sightings In Jersey City – January 12, 2024″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Blake is said to be ‘heartbroken’ over the ‘ruined’ friendship<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
The insider says, \u2018Blake is heartbroken, it\u2019s not something she can just shrug off. She adored Taylor and thought their bond was unshakable, so to be cut off so abruptly has left her reeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018The song is like a knife in the heart, she can\u2019t help but feel it\u2019s about her, and if she doubted that all she has to do is go online and she sees everyone else saying it\u2019s about her, so there\u2019s really no escaping it.\u2019<\/p>\n
While the pair have been friends for ten years , love bombing each other on socials, supporting each other at several high profile events, as well as spending special occasions and holidays together, their friendship appeared to come to an abrupt end in April, when Taylor\u2019s name was dragged into Blake\u2019s legal war.<\/p>\n
The actress is currently suing Justin, who starred as her on-screen love interest in the adaption of Coleen Hoover\u2019s romance novel,\u00a0This is Us, for sexual harassment and a subsequent smear campaign against her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With both parties now collecting evidence ahead of the court date set for next March, Justin\u2019s team alleged that Blake had used her friendship with Taylor to her advantage, reportedly asking Taylor to attend a meeting with Justin and requesting that Blake\u2019s changes to the film script be honoured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They further produced a text message which Blake had allegedly sent to Justin in which she refers to herself as\u00a0Game of Thrones\u2019\u00a0\u2018Khaleesi\u2019, AKA the Mother of Dragons, and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, along with Taylor, as her \u2018Dragons\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the time, sources said that Taylor \u2018was really hurt\u2019 by the implications and that their friendship had \u2018halted\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, after the release of the track list to Taylor\u2019s album, the insider tells us that the tables have turned and Blake has been left feeling \u2018totally abandoned\u2019 after it was reported In June that the two had gradually begun to build on their friendship again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-1701276063.jpg” alt=”Ben Affleck is thought to be single following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez after just two years of marriage” title_text=”Celebrity Sightings In NEW YORK – September 30, 2023″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Blake and Taylor seemed to be best friends<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
They tell us, \u2018She never expected Taylor to be this cold or to hold onto a grudge for this long. The worst part for Blake is the silence, it\u2019s so bewildering and she feels totally abandoned.<\/p>\n
\u2018Blake has tried getting their mutual friends to intervene, it\u2019s not her style to ask for help but she\u2019s desperate and has reached out to pretty much everyone. It\u2019s pretty well pointless though, because most of them have jumped onto Taylor\u2019s side. And the few that are trying to stay more neutral aren\u2019t going to risk getting on Taylor\u2019s bad side to help Blake, so she\u2019s very much on her own right now.\u2019<\/p>\n
And after a poll earlier this year revealed that Blake\u2019s popularity has plummeted by 54.5% from last year, the source says Blake is now \u2018sick with worry\u2019 that her prospects in Hollywood could diminish without the influence of Taylor\u2019s friendship. \u2018The loss of her best friend is bad enough but on top of that she\u2019s terrified over the professional fallout,\u2019 the source says.<\/p>\n
\u2018Taylor\u2019s influence is enormous, if Hollywood is high school she\u2019s the captain of the cheer squad and now that she\u2019s decided Blake is out there\u2019s no telling what impact that could have on bigger picture decisions.<\/p>\n
\u2018Now Blake is sick with worry about how this looks and what it might do to her in the long term as far as getting new movie roles and brand deals. Ryan\u2019s been telling Blake not to panic but she can\u2019t help it. She sees how these things snowball. Taylor\u2019s fan army is relentless, and Blake knows they\u2019ll never stop speculating, it\u2019s humiliating.\u2019<\/p>\n
Ryan, 48, has also been brought into the furore, with Justin accusing him of turning \u2018benign comments\u2019 into accusations that have been the base of Blake\u2019s sexual harassment claims, as well as alleging that Ryan has led a coordinated smear campaign against him.<\/p>\n
Ryan was also previously under Taylor\u2019s umbrella, with the singer calling the actor \u2018one of my best friends on the planet\u2019 while promoting his movie,\u00a0Deadpool and Wolverine, last year.<\/p>\n
However the source now shares Blake’s fears that his reputation could also be in jeopardy,\u00a0adding, \u2018Blake\u2019s worried about what this could do to Ryan\u2019s career too, the stakes feel very high. Blake would do just about anything at this point for another chance, but Taylor\u2019s just totally turned her back.<\/p>\n
\u2018She has Ryan and her sisters to lean on but her social circle has been decimated by this. The feeling is that the sooner she accepts things are done with Taylor forever, the sooner she can move past it and start rebuilding her life.\u2019<\/p>\n
But the source says that on a personal level, losing a friendship that has spanned over a decade, and one which led to Blake and Ryan asking Taylor to be the godmother to their children\u2013 daughters James, 10, Inez, eight, and Betty, five, and son Olin, two \u2013 has been keeping Blake awake at night.<\/p>\n
\u2018Blake can\u2019t do it, this is consuming her. She still can\u2019t fathom how one stupidly worded message imploded her entire friendship, it\u2019s truly haunting her,\u2019 the source shares.<\/p>\n
\u2018You\u2019d think at this point she\u2019d be furious with Taylor but she\u2019s still telling anyone who will listen that she loves her and just wants her back in her life. She feels crushed.<\/p>\n
‘Sadly the chances of that happening are about a one in a million because Taylor is not the type to look back, once she\u2019s made up her mind, she\u2019s ruthless about sticking to it.\u2019<\/p>\n
