As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding celebrations began in New York, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were noticeably absent, choosing instead to attend their daughter Betty’s equestrian competition in Lake Placid, about 300 miles away. Photos obtained by TMZ show the couple cheering as Betty secured second place at a local horse show.
Legal Battle Fallout
Their absence fuels speculation that Swift’s friendship with Lively has not recovered after Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Swift was subpoenaed by Baldoni’s legal team earlier this year, though the request was later withdrawn. Court documents revealed private texts where Lively called Swift and Reynolds her ‘dragons.’ Sources told People that Swift was upset at being dragged into the dispute, and the friendship has ‘halted.’
Wedding and Reconnection
Reports claim Lively was not invited to the wedding. Swift has reportedly reconnected with other friends, including Karlie Kloss. Lively and Baldoni settled their legal battle in May, with a joint statement emphasizing a commitment to respectful working environments.
