In late January 2025, a source told Us Weekly that Lively and Swift remain “close friends” and there has “been no rift” between them, according to People, despite rumors that they’ve been distant since Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni’s lawsuits against each other hit the news.⁠

Taylor Swift might have "not a lot going on at the moment" (she did just wrap up the Eras Tour, you know), but Blake Lively is juggling Another Simple Favor, her Justin Baldoni legal battle, and a second lawsuit from Justin's crisis PR firm.
