Blake Lively recently opened up about relying on her loved ones to get her through tough times. “I’ve always relied on the people I love to carry me through,” Lively said. “And I’m lucky they’re still here.”

For years, Lively and Taylor Swift were inseparable, always seen together at events and supporting each other. The two were part of a star-studded girl gang that included Gigi Hadid, Florence Welch, Salma Hayek, Emily Blunt, and Karlie Kloss.

However, Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni has put a strain on her relationship with Swift. In December, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and tarnishing her reputation during the film’s promotion. Baldoni retaliated with a $400 million counter-suit, claiming defamation and invasion of privacy.

The situation escalated when Baldoni’s lawyers released messages allegedly showing Lively boasting about her powerful friends and using them to influence production. While Swift’s team denied any involvement, the subpoena from Baldoni’s legal team has caused tension between the two friends.

According to sources, Swift wants to distance herself from the drama and has cooled off her friendship with Lively. “Their bond has gone cold, that’s just the truth of it,” a source revealed. “Taylor doesn’t want to be linked to this circus, and she’s told people she needs space from the drama.”
